EVERYTHING YOU MISSED IN SEVERANCE SEASON 2 INTRO | DEEP DIVE

[@LyfeIllustration]

I raged a little when I didn't see Oliver Latta's intro the first episode back...but then to get a whole new intro?! What a treat!! So happy to see you break it down :)

[@BaDazai]

Season 1 was the same, episode 1 didn't come with an intro. I'm sure it will be the same for season 3 and onwards. 😊

[@ellen4956]

The part with Cobel looking over the grassy scene and shining light on it makes me think of a grow-light. It makes me think that she might be older than she seems, and that she has an interest in watching them like someone on a farm watching the animals to see what they'll do. It is only heads in the grass, and kind of looks like a cemetery. There is a part where there are two elevator doors in the grass (I think) and they kind of evoke headstones. I think he is struggling internally between his memories of Gemma and now of Helly, since Milkshake spilled the tea about Mark finding love at work. Some part of his brain might remember the kiss. Apart from the intro, what about the fact that it was not five months, but only 48 hours since the whole "rebellion" happened? It makes since, and if Gemma needs him to finish Cold Harbor (she has to have something to do with it since her face is in that screen) and Helena says they need Mark S. back until he finishes Cold Harbor, I want to ask why! Why are they obsessed with Gemma? She was a Russian Literature teacher at the school where Mark was teaching History. And the person who wants to remove their chips is also at the school. That has to be significant, right?

Bro, you are amazing! By far the best reviewer out there! I wish you all the success in the world

[@geekademy]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@ChristinaMuzzu]

When Mr Drummond called Devon "uppity" my hair stood up. That was a term used by slaveowners to describe slaves that were not obedient enough and dared to act with a sense of self-respect and dignity. Then in the office scene it's announced the board is giving Mark S. Helly in front of Helena. It seems clear that she was not consulted about what would be done to her body. The slavery vibe is strong in the intro too. The Marks trying to get out of this hellish nightmare created by oligarchs using them both. So prescient of our actual situation. I hope we all figure a way out of it soon.

[@joangordoneieio]

what situation?

[@ChristinaMuzzu]

@@joangordoneieio One in which those who control us inside where we work - companies have never been democracies anywhere - also have a huge impact on our world outside of them.

[@Limit47]

I appreciate the time and detail you provide in your videos!!!

[@geekademy]

I appreciate your support!

[@patriciavidal6695]

An intro worth watching every time! I recentyl subscribed to your channel after seeing a few videos about From, then Silo and now Severance. I like how much detail you put into your analysis, they stick out from other cookie cutter reviews and analyses. Congrats!

[@_grigo]

I think wind instruments (not tools ;) ) getting out of the Irving's mug hints on him being a whistleblower. Because you need to blow into an instrument to get a sound from it. And we got a lot of details that Irving's outie is/was investigating on Lumon.

[@geekademy]

Ohh right! Didn't think about it!

[@paularized1]

The instruments were also white and 3d printed. Nice little touch showing the connection to Bert.

[@occupywallets9096]

I love this new intro! I could watch a whole film like this!

[@blondefisk]

The mug with the funny handle is called a Trigger Mug, it was originally designed for firefighter a musket with minimal spillage of your beverage

[@mrsreddick4645]

I needed this breakdown. Thanks Igor

[@greglr19751]

Try to enjoy both intros equally.

[@geekademy]

Your outie writes amazing comments

[@patanne3680]

Funny

[@jamesbuckley8917]

YOU MISSED THE BIGGEST CLUE TO WHY THAT IS HELENA ON THE SEVERANCE FLOOR: Watch the elevator scene near end of S2/E2. Mark, Dylan & Irv get 3 'dings' when going down to the severed floor...1) when they put their card in the slot, 2) when the down arrow light comes on, and 3) when the elevator goes down and the down arrow light goes off. When Helena goes down, there are only 2 'dings'(one for the key card and one for the down arrow to light up). NO 3rd 'ding'! Presumably the 3rd 'ding' indicates that the severing chip engages and that DOES NOT HAPPEN FOR HELENA.

[@scottparone7894]

I really enjoy your videos and I like your take and perspective on these shows, thank you for doing what you do it is appreciated 😇 Side note: you sound serious during videos but than you break out a joke dry humor and is always hilarious 😂 I will recommend your channel to my friends, I pray you will pass 100k subscribers by this time next you!!!

[@paularized1]

20:21 “Finding our way of thinking intriguing” is the nice way of telling us we’re crazy but it’s entertaining.

[@burntorangehorn]

13:36 I thought that was Mark's eye peeking out of his own head, but can't be sure. Either way, it reminded me of a certain scene from The Grudge, a horror film.

[@Ella]

sameee came to look for this comment

[@stevielove4778]

Yeah, I’m 99% it’s Mark- but I’m sure it’s not Gemma, and pretty sure it’s not a ‘woman’. Altho, yes, Adam has lovely eyes.

[@paularized1]

Thank you! That was driving me crazy trying to remember what it reminded me of.

[@thewisecritique8079]

I don't know if you going to see this (and maybe I should've write in one of your previous videos) but if you do it might be something that you can explore - there is something called Servitors in Chaos Magick and Tulpas in Buddhism (which was already used in Twin Peaks). They are an entity that individual creates with the "power of their mind" to do their bidding. Of course is different than putting a chip in your brain, but recently I started learning about them and my first thought was this show. It's a bit out there, but is quite close to the show's premise and I didn't heard anyone mentioning it till now - probably because is connected to esoterics and is not very common knowledge unless you are interested in this topic or Twin Peaks. Also pineapples are connected to the pineal gland, which has many meanings, but is important on spiritual and mental level. We don't know where exactly (which reagon) in the brain they are inserting the chip, but I'm not going to be surprised if it's in there as it considered as the "seat of the soul" and it has been used in experiments for splitting a personality into "different people". BTW at the end isn't it Mark's eye cause it looks a lot like him? And also we get to the one eye symbol which again in the broad term is the third eye or the pineal gland and Lumin's logo.

[@paularized1]

I saw this. Thought you should know.

[@madelinedunlay9605]

3:47 i think the idea is that the marks are separated-aware of each others existence but not together. then they’re poofed together (reintegration) and big mark wakes up, probably symbolizing the metaphorical waking up that would occur with these two unified

[@kman7680]

I found the entire shows motive in the new opening scene…in one scene there’s a baby by marks feet with the original/Founders head on it, symbolizing that Mark S is a vessel for his consciousness

[@Alex-bw6yd]

That 100% Marks eye and hands coming out of his head not Gemma’s lol.

[@geekademy]

That is definitely an asian woman, how can you be so wrong?

[@greglr19751]

Yea. That's Mark for sure.

[@geekademy]

@ are you ok? do you need help?

[@creightontaylor8199]

Naw that’s 100% Mark homie. 3 different people are positive on it.

[@creightontaylor8199]

I was specifically looking for this comment

[@Tau_Zyrillion]

Thanks for giving a spoiler warning that you were going to discuss information from the trailer. As much as I enjoy hearing all the theories based on released episodes, I try to avoid anything that shows or discusses future episodes, so it's much appreciated. I guess I'll come back and watch the rest of this video once the season is done.

[@veronicahinds5321]

Always like your break downs. Keep up the good work.

[@coriw.5283]

Maybe Ms Cobels car is a Rabbit, as in Alice in Wonderland… the most classic rabbit of all. Going down the elevator is going down the rabbit hole. It’s like Ms Cobels own Wonderland down there.

[@flugel3401]

I'm convinced that the orange/red pajamas is an allegory of a prisoner's uniform since that is the color prisons use in the USA.

[@FateDelamorte]

Well, he did help cover up the death of Graner

[@accountnew7030]

not everything is about the USA.

[@telmavpires]

Thanks for this breakdown

[@IndigobluBeauty]

11:13 ms corbel is illuminating them (“lumon’)

[@geekademy]

Niiice!

[@zezeti2246]

The biggest plot twist would be for us to find out hes actually some big shot at Lumon and he has multiple innies😂

[@stevielove4778]

That’s not Gemma looking out of Mark’s head… that’s not her eye, that is DEF not her eyebrow. I don’t even think it’s a woman, nor “obviously a beautiful Asian…” - it’s Mark. I’m like 99% it’s Mark. But I will agree, Adam Scott is very beautiful.

[@juggla1983]

Another great video brother!!

[@geekademy]

Thank you!

[@ellen4956]

Funny, someone else pointed out that Ms. Cobel's car is a VW Rabbit. White Rabbit. I had to say something here - I hadn't noticed that before. It's another wink, nudge thing but nice choice.

[@ulexite-tv]

Also, in years gone by, the Rabbit Test was used to determine pregnancy (and the rabbit died if the woman was pregnant). Also, on Milchick's office console, where Ms. Cobel's little human head sculpture used to sit, we now see a white rabbit head sculpture. Down the rabbit hole. Tweedledum and Tweedledee -- Jim and Seth Milchick. The Baby held by the Duchess -- Cobel's lactation fraud. Alice is given the baby by the Duchess and the baby turns into a pig. Is Helly the Red Queen and Cobel the White Queen? A new mirror room has been promised by Milchick -- Through the Looking Glass?

[@geekademy]

Another nudge to matrix or to Alice)

[@burntorangehorn]

​@geekademy And possibly Jefferson Airplane's creepy song, "White Rabbit," which of course was an allusion to Alice in Wonderland that encouraged mind expansion (via drugs).

The fact that they are in a book, not a flat surface, makes it unnerving - she could snap it closed any time, destroying everyone.

[@greenytaddict]

She gonna take that new advisory board position to other level.😅

[@BridgetMLeach]

I think cobelvig could possibly be an illegitimate child of the Eagan bloodline

[@geekademy]

Thats a nice catch! I think you are right!

[@paularized1]

8:45 Are these bottles of goo supposed to be one of Lumon’s topical salves? Just because there’s also pills on the table, it could be showing some of Lumon’s medicinal products. We know that Lumon now makes medications since Helena said she was taking a non Lumon medication for an arm rash.

[@kyleighmcquary1540]

I think you might have gotten confused or mixed up about which Mark is the innie and which is outie. I believe the Mark in the orange/red jumpsuit is still the innie because he's wearing his work ID badge. Maybe they switched it to look like the innie is in a prison jumpsuit to emphasize how trapped he is there. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe, idk

[@geekademy]

Everything is possible but it's not orange it's red and it's not jumpsuit it's pajamas.

[@alekseyillarionov3274]

Omg I will definitely have nightmares after watching it full))

[@gracelloyd3758]

17:54 that goat looks like it’s disassociating. Maybe that’s a hidden or unknown side effect of severing. Eventually development of DID?

[@JohnLattier]

2:22 but I thought the red uniform meant Outtie Mark. Red usually means not-Lumon.

[@IndigobluBeauty]

The goats are likely clones…that’s why the staff has to feed them bc there are no moms to feed them milk

[@geekademy]

The cast said - no clones in the tv show

[@OMGItsFullOfStars]

I think that Innie Mark with Gemma and Outie Mark with Helly has to do with the pursuit of knowledge and understanding love. Innie Mark, with very little information about the world at large, just learned that he has a wife and that she's in danger. His "mission" is to save her. Outie Mark was told by Milkshake that his innie found love. So I think in his quest for answers, he's going to have to face the fact that part of him is in some way in love with someone who is NOT Gemma. Idk, I don't have it perfectly formed yet but I'm pretty sure it's something along those lines.

[@OMGItsFullOfStars]

Also, I'd be remiss not to mention how Cobel watching the book is SO reminiscent of that one episode of Adventure Time. When Finn found the little people and he meddled with their lives just to see what happens? Running experiments on who would do well together and contriving interpersonal connections which would otherwise not happen? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Idk just food for thought.

[@Av3rag3Cadav3r]

Hell yeah IGOR

[@aekmea]

🎉 top!

[@JasonGuySmiley]

[@ashleywilliams5971]

Did anyone notice that in the screen shot of season 1 where Mark is holding the human shaped balloons, his footsteps are actually out in front of him instead of behind him? Around the 15:35 mark in this video. What could that mean?

[@geekademy]

Interesting! The whole time moving weirdly is happening there. You can see in one scene in the intro that the second hand on the clock moves in the opposite directions to the hour hand

[@ashleywilliams5971]

@geekademy I saw another post online somewhere that the second hand on Mark's different watches in his drawer at the elevator entrance (the one where he switches his watch out and gets his badge) don't move until one scene where the second he drops his badge in, the second hand starts moving out of nowhere. I wish I could reference this post, but I can't remember where I saw that.

[@suziekeeler]

When the back of Mark’s head is being peeled open from the inside, one hand’s nails are long and the other’s is short. What do you suppose that means? But then again, it could just look that way because of lighting.

[@paularized1]

That’s the beauty of this show. Where there could be details as tiny as finger nail length put in. This show is going to be put under a microscope for years.

[@BridgetMLeach]

What if… what if the spouses are in on it somehow? Dylan’s mystery wife, Gemma, even Ricken. And something is definitely suspicious about Alexa, the woman Mark’s outie was dating in season 1. I wouldn’t put it past Lumon!

[@lihiejacob]

I don't think that's Gemma climbing out of Marcs head, it looks like Marc himself

[@JohnSmith-bq6nf]

Sammy Bates had good interesting break down on this opener too

Great video she did!
