SEVERANCE (2022–) #02.09 ‘The After Hours’

[nellandvoid]

the after hours spoilers

milchick freezing while drummond uses the same tactic on him that he uses on the severed employees in the break room, only to tell him to eat shit, insult his intelligence, and remind him his only job is to watch the employees on the severed floor

milchick tearing up while listening to mark scout, the man working on the most important file to date, on the day the file is to be completed, tell him that he just needs a day for himself and that life is what everything is for, that work is just work, making him promise to come in the next day and then thanking him for calling

milchick redemption arc (?) where he simply stops doing the work of cobel, and himself, and graner, and instead employs my favorite work behavior: malicious compliance

sweet vitriol thoughts

oh if i see ONE PERSON complain about this weeks episode being filler. it's on sight.

harmony cobel is the real inventor of the severance procedure. she CREATED THAT. most likely when she was STILL A CHILD. and was told that if she ever sought credit she would banished. no wonder she was so fixated on not only mark but the severed floor as a whole: that is HER BABY. she works there to prove to herself that her invention WORKS.

she has been working for lumon since a child. she was told by JAME EAGEN HIMSELF that he saw kier in her. and then she was fired for something entirely out of her control, something that she could not have been able to predict or stop. the only time she was given credit for her creation was when it backfired and nearly killed the lumon heir. she only got credit when it failed.

she's so fixated on mark because she needs to prove to anyone, even if it's just herself, that her device WORKS. that even two people, who LOVE each other, who's grief permeates their entire life, can work with each other and never know who the other is. but to her it's also a failure, because NO ONE will know she was the reason it was successful. just another corporation, another man, stealing a woman's work and pawning it off as his own.

harmony cobel you are insane and i love you and you deserve to kill jame eagan dead

"college is the best years of your life" "college is for meeting new people and expanding your mind" wrong. college is for discovering new types of grief. also the timeloop

“we shared vessels” is up there but funniest fucking shot of the episode is that cut to the empty MDR work station. dylan busy homewrecking his own marriage. irving wrecking someone else’s. mark and helly in the ninth circle of a four dimensional situationship. Seth out of office for the day on an official paperclip management seminar. Idk why reddit is so pressed about finishing Cold Harbour that shit is NOT getting done

[nellandvoid]

they’re growing on me
