SEVERANCE S02E09 - The After Hours

[lumonrecycles]

I think maybe the fucked up part about Devon clocking that that lady she kind of has a crush on was severed to have a baby is that maybe Devon is severed and having a baby.

Like the whole town is the rat maze and everybody’s in it

i think the thing that fascinates me most about devon scout-hale's character is the fact that she has bangs but she always always always wears them up/back

I kind of understand more how conflicts could have happened during season 2 after learning about how Mark and Helly were not written to be romantic until after the Brit/Adam chemistry popped off. It’s a hell of a turn to go from work buddies teaming up to rescue a wife to insane interdimensional thruples. I can imagine it required some talking through lol.

Gotta appreciate the season finale for complicating things more. Both for its outright rejection of "the way to save the innies is reintegration" as NOT being a cut-and-dry solution. But also for the fact that, while most people are 1-innie-1-outtie, Gemma Scout is 25 different people.

Cold Harbor!Gemma was alive for 15 minutes. A man showed up and said "I'm your husband. You can trust me. It's okay. Come with me." And he led her into non-existence.

What if Ricken and his weird friends are post testing floor severed people.

I just read a theory in Reddit that refining is taking away all the parts of someone that would make them non compliant, which is basically taking away all their emotional memories.

So Gemma dying after cold harbor is metaphorical, she’s still alive just without the memories that make her her.

I still think Ricken is running a foster home for liberated innies, maybe they are testing floor subjects. Maybe they get dumped back into town after they are used up, maybe Ricken saved them and that’s why Natalie is interested in him in addition to the uprising.

She looks a lot like Woe in that last one

Obviously not.

Empathy awaits, Ms. Huang.

Something about “meet you at the equator” (dividing line! Between two halves of the world! That only really exists in the minds of humans!) and then Mark and Helly meeting again right as Mark is standing at the edge of the stairwell, right about to cross into the other half of his world-

seth milchick (thinking about the 65 orchestra members he’s been rehearsing with every tuesday and thursday for the past 8 weeks): so… i have your word you’ll report to work tomorrow?

I wish there was a very specific intersection of Greek(Roman?) classics and severance fan art maker who was well versed in the castor and Pollux, Helen and Clytemnestra (I think) stories who wanted to to do some art for us bs on tumblr to go along with all the cute Eurydice art I see going around. Y’all are sleeping on a lot of excellent symbolism (for example: eggs)
