I wish outie Dylan had gotten a giftcard for Pip's on his car windshield.

So no playlists just silence? Naur I’m too awkward for that 😂

Was hoping for some more discussion with a group like we got right after the premiere, I loved hearing everyone discussing what they each noticed and what stuck out to them

The actress for Casey is a singer in a band and just got cast in a Broadway show. So I hope they film Season 4 before she starts in the show otherwise it might take some time for the next season…

The way I was bawling at the end of this episode though. I never thought this show would get me in the feels.

Honestly, my only complaint about this show is that WE WANT MORE. Not just from one character - ALL of them. Longer and more episodes is what we need. Same for these recaps. I hope the interest grows and we get recaps after every episode next season. I'm often the only one in my circle watching these shows and knowing I will get to hear your takes on these moments increases my enjoyment of the show as a whole and gives me validation for being so invested. So thank you for that. Such a big fan of you both. Your takes are always hilarious and spot on. I'll watch anything either of you are on and really appreciate all the time and love you put into everything you do. Thanks again - Much love.

Severance is the best TV show I've seen. I don't normally like the sci-fi genre but Severance is good

New sub! Good video! 😊

Speaking of "multiple levels of severance," do not forget the intro with the multiple Marks.

Another theory with Miss Huang if she was stolen DNA from Marc and Gemma who got raised by someone in Lumon… what if she was delivered/raised by our favorite doula/midwife adjacent Miss Cobel!!!

What if all of them except Mark are their outie.

I think Irving has been reintegrated and was experiencing sickness when he came down. I think Dylon is either gone or in a coma because he only remembers being tackled. It def Helena. I’m wondering if this is AI or rather the building is which is why it was talking. It is attempting to fully integrate with humans and thereby rule the world with a mass of worker bees. 😂

I think Dylan G's outtie is an asshole. The way Milchick treated his son and he didn't even care. Dylan G innie is a better father

They haven't released a season since 2023, but I got into The Morning Show over the past week and it's so great.

Grace!!

Sounds like Grace met one of Sean Fennessy's Brutalist boys at TIFF

I don't read Reddit, so I don't know - has anyone ever talked about how Milchick is the one who did Helly's severance chip procedure? He has to have a certain amount of medical training to do that, yes? More than just a middle manager. Has that been explored?

When married (80's) my hub was SAC Air Force & when on extended "alert" in an underground facility on base (called The Mole Hole) they had an apt for conjugal visits officially called 'the family visitation center' & jokingly referred to as the 'whack shack'. It's really EARLY I haven't had coffee yet but I hadn't thought about this for yrs & wonder if it hints at a Military connection. 🤔

Spoilers for Brutalist - I really enjoyed watching a lot of it, but it sat really poorly with me in the days and weeks that followed seeing it. Specifically how cowardly the film is. Obviously there's been discourse around the film's fence sitting on zionism, how much parsing is required to figure out what its trying to say, but I also think seeing a film about a post-war Jewish architect who studied at Bauhaus, and not include any discussion about communism or socialism or any kind of political ideology is ahistorical for those who know the history of that cultural movement. It's NOT a biopic because any good biopic would have to grapple with the subject's real world politics, and this felt so zeroed in on this one very narrow notion of America - the artist/patron relationship, while bringing up this grand history, and it ultimately rang as very hollow and empty for me as a result. I'm not saying the film needed to have some grand statement about politics either, but the film decided upon a certain milieu and then ignores most of what made it interesting.

My two faves talking about my fave 🥹

I love taran

Ah yes, more Grace and Taran while I play Balatro!

For me it is Helena but she is going to fall in love with them just as Helly. The one who is going to betray them might be Dylan and not Helena/Helly

So what did Mark do to the kitchenette???

I think I always have thought that Baltar's desire to be a cylon is that it would mean he didn't betray all of humanity and that he didn't do anything wrong. Baltar to me is the quintessential survivor, much like Sandra, his motto is anyone but me, but he is also - perhaps unfortunately for him - someone who is not a sociopath. He knows what's right and what's wrong. He's just a coward who will always be selfish, if it means he avoids punishment/death he will always choose that path no matter the consequence. So if he's a cylon, then he isn't a bad person at all - all of his decisions now make sense and doesn't make him a traitor. Being a cylon solves his moral quandry and absolves him of any sin.

As soon as the suit was missing, i knew he went to test it. Also, i think Juliet’s father’s sacrifice is an allusion to the play - especially since Silo referenced it earlier in the season.

Yes it was

That person in the background watching Marc was Marc a clone.

I would have to say That there are some times I felt very lost in this season, and the main times were when it was the Juliette/solo scenes. and I don't want to take away from the characters that Steve Zahn, and Rebecca Feguson created but I feel like some of those scenes extended way too long 😴😴😴😴 and they just extended it throughout the entire season way too long... it did make sense in the end But to do that only to just have some big reveal in the last two episodes seems way too contrived, very GOT type story telling

I'm on Team #thatsHelena for a number of reasons - the lie about what she experienced on top is one thing, but as well, when she left the elevator she seemed surprised that Mark had thrown his arms around her. The biggest tell? She doesn't know where her computer "on" switch is.

Thank you for the recaps <3

One thing that has stuck with me was during the break room video, the narrator says lumon has offices in 206 counties. Even if you count every disputed territory in our timeline, you wouldn't get to 206. Makes me wonder if Luman had their own annexed nation states or if Keir, PE is now its own microstate within America

This finale definitely just went through the motions.

Mr. Milchick is quickly rising up the lists of my all time favourite tv characters

I think they’ve cloned Mrs Casey and she’s the child Miss Hsung

That was totally Keanu Reeves. It's been confirmed.

I hope this is not the last time we see the new office mates! Maybe new allies??…

Respectfully disagree I thought the finale was cohesive, concise, exciting and it all paid off! As for the season as a whole, that’s another story. Pacing was off way too slow for the first half of the season. They really need to stop all the slogging- enough already! Pick up the pace! Like u both I’m really excited for season 3!

How did you guys miss Juliette's fire suit 😂

That’s definitely Hellies outie (Helena) posing as an innie

The incentives are exactly what a real corporation or government would do.

Mr Krabs in silo would be awesome.

Ms huang is ms Casey’s daughter (my theory)

Is Severance actually signing up to plug in for 8hrs a day and your mind is part of a simulation; a massive human computer...almost like a prequel to the Matrix...visually so similar, even in the opening sequence all the mark suits look like the fight scene with the 100s of Agent Smiths

I am curious if the actors get paid for playing their each of their characters as Outie and as Innie. In season 2 will we see a Cutie... or is that just Mr Milchicks Bootie? Given Devon's pregnancy and recent birthing, so many missed opportunities for in sibling banter to make belly button jokes at Mark

I just finished watching Survivor with this guy in it. No spoilers for those still catching up.

Terrible finale. Probably won’t follow into season 3

Hi, my name is Nicholas, and I am a frolic-aholic 😁

Y’all should read the Lexington Letter. That was the first acknowledgement that there are/were multiple Lumon locations and multiple severed offices. Dario is the Italian speaking working, not only from Wikipedia, but from the post on Lumon Industries’ LinkedIn post from 2 months ago. Both are off-screen sources, but are understood to be “canon”.
