[@BeTeK11]

As one who was watching attack on titan from the start: first time?

[@svenpoletka5236]

To be fair, it's not really a cliffhanger if they don't know what they're doing next. Many people avoided even watching the first season until the second one was set in stone.

[@karabomasibi2331]

Hahaha welcome to the Severance finale blue balls. One of the biggest cliffhangers in recent tv

[@darkphoenix2]

I don't really consider it a cliffhanger. All three of them succeed in the "mission". Helly attacks Lumon, Irving will get Burt to come to the door, and with Gemma's picture in his hand and Devon having just heard "she's alive", Mark will be on the path to finding his wife.

When I saw this, I told all of my friends it was the most stressful episode of television I had seen in years. I literally paused the episode so I could stand up and walk around for a moment I was so stressed LMAO. I totally understand Milena in this video.

[@devinsingleton5242]

SAME!!!

[@gebege4857]

Last such episode was ozmandias from breaking bad. But this episode is on another level literal masterpiece. Every second is just pure cinema.

bro I just watched season 1 after seeing it hyping up in mainstream now. apparently this was one of those great gems and season 2 is out very soon, I feel so lucky. waiting 2 years is CRAZY

[@Alex-bw6yd]

@@johnsilver5783waiting all this time was FUCKING UNBEARABLE. I watched those final moments on repeat so many times and I got chills every time when he yells that. Just rewatched the first season in prep for 2 and god it is quite literally one of the greatest masterpieces of television up there with Breaking Bad. And that was just its first season!

[@jasiumater]

​@@johnsilver5783I finished 5th season of Better Call Saul just a couple of days before the 6th season started coming out even though I did not know about it until I finished the 5th season lol

[@darkphoenix2]

Milena's reaction at 13:40 is one of the greatest things I've ever seen 🤣 Actually, the entire reaction is great. You two losing your minds was hilarious. This episode is full of great moments, but one of my favorites that I expected to hit harder for you two was Helly's apology. To bring that little thing back after several episodes was so unexpectedly satisfying.

[@julianprofas]

Remember when you both were like; not sure what this show is…low expectations 😅 And now the second it ends you both are like; I NEED THE TRAILER NOW, I need something! We can’t wait 2 months for season 2! 😂

[@bowi1332]

Right?! 😂 Milena was quite skeptical, and now she's so invested; slapping Lola and all! 😛 😆

[@jrlombardi5251]

He didn't say Gemma's name but when he went to say she's alive he still had the frame with her picture in his hand, so Devon will understand. He got to do as much as he could at that moment before Dylan was taken down, just as Helly, Irving didn't tho, so sad.

[@logans8286]

My bold prediction is that we only truly know the exact moment when Mark S switched back to his outtie self. And it’s just implied that the last we saw of Helly and Irving is when they switched back too. But I think we might get a few more unexpected moments with the other innies still on the outside, especially with Irving and Bert. But we’ll see soon enough.

[@lockekappa500]

I mean, they JUST found his sister's daughter, so that is also an option. He could not even know why he's holding the picture.

[@jrlombardi5251]

@lockekappa500 first, he already knew by that point that they found his niece so it wouldn't make sense for him to go so intensively later on screaming that she's alive. Second, he won't know why he's holding the picture, but his sister will see he has the picture of a supposedly dead person while he screams with all in him that she's alive. Third, spoiler bellow the trailer revealed the obvious, his sister does get he means Gemma.

[@lockekappa500]

@@jrlombardi5251 Damnit I didnt watch the trailer for that reason. Oh well. But to clarify SHE doesnt know he knows, because the other guy came out yelling that he found it. And he doesnt know he found it first, because his Inny found the baby, not him.

[@jrlombardi5251]

@lockekappa500 it's not about his innie tho, that was never one of my points, don't worry

[@rudolfszekernyes2419]

Irving must have already been a Lumon employee before he got severed. That would explain his residual memories of the testing floor, as well as his posession of all that employee information.

[@MH90]

I always wondered if people could functionally be 'reset' down in the testing floor, and just the same as people hold subconscious memories between severance, if he could've retained some memory of it.

[@bryanburns4874]

@@MH90they’ve clearly been onto Lumon before, and then get sent down to the testing floor and potentially get their memories reset. Irving is also drinking coffee to purposely sleep-deprive himself so that he falls asleep at work and his memories bleed through, since sleep is heavily involved in the consolidation of memory!! Lumon might also know this and that’s why they get so pissed at the innies when they fall asleep. it’s possible Irving may have seen the testing room elevator as an outie, but that doesn’t explain why he would be painting it over and over again like a madman. I think he’s trying to gain memories from the inside in an attempt to thwart Lumon, also explaining why he has newspaper articles talking about how Lumon needs to be held accountable. he’s clearly not a fan so why would he even choose to work for them in the first place? like let’s say Irving has been sent down to testing 3 times, well he forgets everything else (there’s a command in the security room suspiciously called “Clean Slate”) but maybe since he sees that hallway every single time, that might be the one traumatic memory he’s able to kinda retain? basically outie Irving can only remember that black hallway, and innie Irving can only remember the black paint he’s using to try to recreate that memory i haven’t heard this other theory before that Irving is Mark’s therapist or something? because of some line i must’ve missed about Mark seeing a therapist with a moustache? it’s an interesting theory but i much prefer my theory that Irving is potentially a member of this resistance that’s working to fight against Lumon lol. he’s probably working with Reghabi and his job is to be the man on the inside!! especially ironic since he was the most devout in the beginning

[@Liesmith424]

"I'm going in disappointed because it's too short." Man, if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that...

[@toddjh]

I mean it was a pretty bold decision to make the finale this short. Pretty much everybody has the same reaction when they first see the running time, and it's not a positive one. But it turns out they knew what they were doing.

[@nkyende]

​@toddjh, it was a penis joke😂😂

[@razzle_dazzle]

People say it's not the length that matters, but what you do with it. And the show certainly squeezed everything they could out of every last part of it. And their reactions at the climax demonstrated that pretty well. 😉

[@Leo-jk1lm]

You guys are so LUCKY, we've been waiting for 3 years

[@keeneym]

4 minutes into the reaction, and I love you guys SOOO much! Haven't even started the episode, and you are upset over the length of the episode. You both are so deeply in touch with the content, you GET IT so quickly and so fully.

[@razzle_dazzle]

When the credits start, I love how Lola looks at the camera smiling, like she's being pranked.

8 whole weeks huh? Cant believe its been 2 years already 😂

[@spacecadet2172]

it’s been over 1000 days… actually much closer to 3 years!

[@patrickholt2270]

Irving and his Innie dream about each other, and so Outside Irving has been using artistic free-association to paint the places he dreams of, and trying to learn more about Lumon. He's gotten hold of some kind of personnel list, and seeing which names seem to elicit some feeling or recognition. That's what I reckon. I also think that Irving is a former assassin in the US special forces, like Navy Seal or Delta Force, and that's why he lives alone and does art, and drives an old sports car and plays Motorhead when he paints. He is potentially the most dangerous person to Lumon if that's true.

[@lizardking2407]

Damn dude... Great theory

[@patrickholt2270]

@@lizardking2407 Thanks man!

[@lilyrubyify]

This final episode was masterfully written, directed and edited. The tension was sooo well maintained throughout, and the payoff in the end was actually good despite it being a cliffhanger. I honestly think this might be the most perfect ending of S1 of any show I've watched.

[@elderflower2133]

Felt as insane watching you two react to this as I did the first time I saw it!!! One of the best finales of all time

[@UpMaster321]

The number of episode is 9 because of the 9 Principles. I Think that every single dialog and detail in this show is important, only the masterpiece tv shows utilize every information that is presented to the viewer. This show is amazing!

[@Kwekwe]

I know you guys probably watched this weeks ago on Patreon, but the trailer you watched was a teaser. A full trailer has since been released with a surprising amount of information, it would be great to see you guys make a video analysing that one. You two are so good at this, you picked up so much more clues than l did when l watched it!❤

[@bolococo]

The day after I finished this episode I think I told everyone I knew they had to watch this show

[@space_1073]

I'm grateful every day I only watched this show a few months ago. I cannot imagine waiting years.

[@SusanbVT555]

We’ve been waiting 3 years for the next season! It’s been torture! Hoping we get some answers next season. I’ve watched season 1 multiple times and it never gets old. Truly the perfect first season.

[@DanJackson1977]

Twin Peaks fans... "Try waiting 25 years for a new season" 😂

[@devinsingleton5242]

Man. This AND THEN Arcane!?!? Two phenomenal shows back to back. Whoah!

[@yuratchkaplisetskys3063]

So the staff actually created an official LinkedIn page for Lumon Industries, which provides some background clues. Irving is listed as having worked for Lumon for 9 years. This matches his employee number ending in 454, which is far lower than the 3 other MDR employees (900s). Since Irving's innie says he's been working in MDR for only 3 years, it is implied he has held some other position(s) in Lumon for the 6 years prior to that. Perhaps Irving was once a non-severed employee in a similarly high-ranking hole like Milchik's? Or perhaps his severed memories were reset when he began working at MDR?

[@bebop-p9s]

i literally started crying when this ended and when you guys felt disappointed I cried again cuz I remember that feeling

[@nicoleannecollet]

I also yelled at the TV when I first watched this lol

[@UpMaster321]

The cip was not removed when he was alive...Miss Cobel did that at the funeral...so the information is on the cip and the plan is yes to get immortality for the Egan family :), I think The current CEO has all the former CEO's in his brain aka ''The Board"

[@AlexisLopez-pb8ms]

Milena’s reaction when the episode ended was priceless. She looked like a tortured Lumen employee.

[@mattgwinn]

One theory that I agree with is that Irwin worked in management, but did something Lumon didn't like, so they severed him as punishment. They essentially let him keep his job, but no longer has any access. Lumon likely doesn't realize he has all of that paperwork.

[@TamiThePinkHairedGirl]

They packed SO much into that 40 minutes, so I was totally fine with the episode length. From now on, maybe watch it before you freak out about the time. 😝 And it was a STRESSFUL 40 minutes, so it was more than enough!

[@lockekappa500]

I find it funny they had a 5min discussion about being upset about it, and then by the end of the episode were begging for it to end out of stress!

[@desireeslaten6618]

I love how invested you guys are ❤ only 30 days left

[@SusanbVT555]

My theory about Irving is that he originally worked in O&D and formed an attachment with Burt while there. It makes sense based on his age and artistic talent. I think Lumon wiped his Innie memories and that was when he and Burt went to the testing floor. It was likely a traumatic experience and is in his memory somewhere. It appears Outie Irving is suspicious about Lumon and has been doing his own research. He seems to be intentionally depriving himself of sleep to trigger his Innie to doze off at work. Sleep is prohibited for the Innies because it seems the Outie memories can seep through during sleep which is why Irv kept seeing the black paint and hearing the song.

[@MikeWillisUK]

Haha, I knew you'd recognize the man as Walter Bishop from Fringe!

[@alexbasson]

I think the little glass plaques are something they give you to pacify you in response to some highly unusual, traumatic situation. Like, they gave Dylan his plaque after they woke him up outside and accidentally allowed him to discover that he has a kid. I think they must have given Mark his plaque after they hired Gemma as Wellness Counselor.

[@Frost7486]

This is still one of the most stressful episode of anything i have ever watched jfc....😣

[@eedoan]

I almost felt bad recommending the series to my friends knowing the torture of waiting for a new season after this insane cliffhanger.

[@pojo7712]

Finished the show yesterday and watched all reactions!! So sad and yet feel fortunate in only needing to wait 5 weeks for season 2.

[@TheLoonyLovebad1]

I’m guessing Revolving is when they switch to the next CEO, so when Jame retires and Helena takes over. That’s my personal theory at least. Also, I think you guys should rewatch ep 3 bc you always seem to forget that Jame is the current CEO and Kier is long dead lol

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

I've watched you two react to a few series but I think this is my favorite one. Not because of the series (which I loved) but because of your investment in it and your priceless reactions. This last episode I thought you might have a heart attack in that last ten minutes. Great job guys and can't wait for the new season.

[@francovillagran8534]

That ending is one of the greatest cliffhangers in tv history.

[@kysolakonos]

Not sure how early in advance these reactions are filmed compared to when they go up on KZbin but if you really wanted a trailer with more substance, the official trailer has also already been released showing a LOT more than the teaser you watched. I get why a lot of reaction channels don’t watch trailers but this show is so good I would be foaming at the mouth for anything to hold me over until January if I were you two. Might be worth checking out.

[@CarlosVerza]

Man, you brought all my anxiety back, WHY?! WHYYYYYY?!

[@tiiadica]

i'm new here so i'm not sure what y'all are planning to watch in the future. But I also thought this was one of the best first season's I've ever seen and the other show I watched recently that I also felt like was one of the best first seasons i've ever seen is Shogun. I think it's slightly worse than Severance so don't get your hopes up too high but y'all should def consider watching it!

[@Cristinas_watching]

My girls, our GIRLS! Going through that finale with you two was the best-worst thing!! Brilliant reactions to the whole season, but also I felt bad because I (we) know how it felt to be stressed over the finale AND going over everything again because this darn show just grabs you like no other!! Lucky you, not that long to wait now. 🙃 And YES, so much to unpack about Irving. Tracking names of severed employees. Painting the hallway that Gemma goes down. Maybe Burt too, or himself??

Idk again I'm not hating obviously you were just smarter than most people who watched this, but damn I have to say I would be so unbelievably annoyed if I ruined the show's biggest moments for myself like this lol.
