📺 Severance S2

[wintry sinew]

They’re a bit scattered rn

[wraith sable]

You mean the one security guard? 😅

Even the stairwell would be flooded with them

[wintry sinew]

No

I mean the head of security

Babes you gotta watch shows with your eyes open

But also, I would say

[wraith sable]

He’s like the one security guard we’ve met

Head of security

[wintry sinew]

I think squabbling over plot minutiae that may well be addressed after the cliffhanger

[wraith sable]

Where’s the security then 😂

[wintry sinew]

Is really uninteresting

I’d much rather talk about what the show is actually trying to say or do

[wraith sable]

Way too late to address that lol

[wintry sinew]

With Innie Mark’s ‘rebellion’

[wraith sable]

If they had decent security

Mark would’ve never accomplished his goal

[wintry sinew]

Turning his outtie into a hostage

[wintry sinew]

I guess I just don’t care lol

It’s not important

[wraith sable]

Yeah I think it’s a stronger ending to S1

[wintry sinew]

Character and story are more interesting than security admin lol

[wraith sable]

I agree

I’m just saying it bumped me

[slim spade]

i just like for things to make sense is all. when senseless things happens it tends to pull me out of whatever im watching a bit. like if Mark suddenly starts flying next episode, if its unexplained, ill have a problem with it

[wintry sinew]

I think the conversation between the two Marks at the top of the episode is one of my favourite sequences in the show so far

Adam Scott really did a great job emphasising the differences between them - the Outtie is the Innie’s whole universe, while the reverse couldn’t be less true

I’ve enjoyed the show’s pivot from ‘corporate workplaces are bad’ into a broader point about how we turn a blind eye to exploited workers

Outtie Mark’s lack of empathy has resulted in him becoming a hostage

In what I assume will be a strike storyline

[wraith sable]

Yeah I agree excellent performance

[round narwhal]

I’m really interested in what they could do for the next season

[agile patio]

wheres the imdb rating of this episode?

[near gulch]

i hope season 3 isn't gonna take 3 years again

[near gulch]

in my humble and dumb opinion i think eagan still sees ellie as kier and he's gonna invite both mark and ellie in his house

that's how season 3 will begin and ellie will replace gemma?

idk about that

[round narwhal]

Yeah, I could see that

[full trail]

Of course it has https://youtu.be/Ydp7cNF5p74?si=b7QkDHgu2V8l9Go2

[low coral]

Mark Scout>Mark .S

[sharp crow]

That's a good thing, it's peak

[empty kettle]

joining thread

Lower confirms that it's Helly in the finale

[agile patio]

The show wants to be Lynchian so bad💀

[wintry sinew]

Not really

The show has nothing in common with Lynch’s work

It’s closer to Douglas Adams

Terry Gilliam at a big push

[empty kettle]

yeah idk how you could even make a serious comparison in approach between the two

[errant rune]

Wow

[errant rune]

What a shot

What a show

[lime flint]

Finishing severance finale rn

[mossy spire]

Great ending to the season

[lime flint]

Dont say anything yet

I havent finished it

[mossy spire]

Anything yet

[slim spade]

you should totally not be in spoiler chat until you do

[next sierra]

At that point near the end there was so much conflict || it felt like Helly should have said Mark I love you, you just go with your beloved wife, so there seems like an egoistical inaction saying nothing and leading him on to stay on her part, altho it was also Mark's decision, but the reality is that she may actually be altruistic for wanting Mark to stay to help fight for all the other innies not leaving them behind, btw when that guy said "they will all die" before the elevator closes might be referred to the innies even tho at first I thought it was about the Eagan lineage but we'll see||

The finale was kind of ... Heh

I'm perfectly ok

Devon and Harmony supposedly made a plan while we were left out

Yes.

[slim spade]

i suppose. we went over this earlier today, but i feel its a bit silly that a company as wealthy as Lumon doesnt have a guard at every single exit of that building where they kidnap and experiment on humans

[next sierra]

Idk but judging from Jame Eagan who has got a personality thinner than a sheet of toilet paper, well 🤷

[next sierra]

I gave up reading all of chat 😆
But yeah lol

My OCD is strong but not that strong

[slim spade]

lack of security just seems like a bit of a contrivance, but they may explain it next season. like the episode overall, thats really my only problem with it

and its minor

[next sierra]

Yep

I'm gonna cope with Frank Castle

[slim spade]

Mark killing the walrus man cause he switched over in the elevator and didnt know hed be holding a gun was pretty awesome

[next sierra]

I was like-

Better this way than for that guy to take over Mark again

I could see the deep sadness and realization of death in Mark's eyes

When strangled

[slim spade]

sure, its just nice to see innie mark make mistakes due to his age. he didnt seem to even think that when he changed over in the elevator the gun might go off

[next sierra]

Yeah but he was compelled to keep it on him, but yeah

Mark and Helly talking about Delaware and other places
Mark and Gemma ||breaking up||
The fights and the fights again
This surely was an episode about being conflicted

[slim spade]

indeed. feel like next season will be nothing but conflict considering how they left it

im betting next season Helly convinces Jame to let her and Mark have their outties bodies full time

which would kinda suck as Marks outtie isnt a bad person

[mossy spire]

my favorite moment ngl

[glad meteor]

Oh my god what a way to end the season

Also yessss Gwendolyn Christie 😁

[twin swift]

Loved the finale even though major questions still remain like Why was Gemma singled out and how did Lumon fake her death?? I'm still not exactly sure about purpose of Cold harbor and this stuff about barrier like, Gemma is in that room but then what's the grand plan here??

This season also cements the fact that innies and outies are two very distinct personalities and the conversation at that cabin was really fascinating. I do wonder, if innie Mark and Helly have a plan at the end when we know Lumon can switch their consciousness.

[wraith sable]

Classic Severance stringing the sheep along with endless questions

[twin swift]

Ya, it was still very much fun but full questions weren't answered from the beginning.

[wraith sable]

I had fun with it I'm just getting sick and tired of them not answering questions - like exactly we have no clue wtf the purpose of Cold Harbor is

[glad meteor]

I loved the episode but yes I agree they still have more questions to answer in season 3

[twin swift]

We finally get what Mark was doing with MDR and it was related to emotions but what is cold harbor and its purpose.

Gemma is gonna die once cold harbor is completed but what does that mean and a goat is involved too who is gonna be killed..

[last glade]

they'll answer our questions eventually

[twin swift]

Ya but you can only wait so long

[misty fjord]

milchick was able to get out only because helly r wasnt there to hold the door

[wintry sinew]

We literally do

They explained it in Episode 7 and then they did it again in Episode 10

[oak timber]

I thought milchick was about to revolt because they keep ripping on his big words 😂

[last glade]

soon....

[limpid ingot]

It's a fairly apt representation of how working for American corporations seems.

[limpid ingot]

Visiting sites like that reminds me why I only get my news and similar from rss feeds. At least half the screen is taken up by ads

Just. Ugh.

[slim spade]

use brave browser. i get no ads on that page

[limpid ingot]

I use Firefox, which has been extensioned to 'eck. But it's just so frustrating that this is now the standard

[slim spade]

we live under corporate rule. sucks for anyone who isnt the head of a corporation

[limpid ingot]

I'd say they're all scrabbling to figure out how to monetise ai search

[errant rune]

Just so excellent

[wraith sable]

@wintry sinew there ya go

[wintry sinew]

Yeah but they did explain Cold Harbor lol

[wraith sable]

They showed you Cold Harbor

[wintry sinew]

No

[wraith sable]

I wouldn’t say they explained its purpose

[wintry sinew]

They explained it in Episode 7

Lol

We know exactly what it is and have known for weeks

[wraith sable]

Even Dan Erickson said they were purposefully vague about it

[wintry sinew]

Sure, but we know what it is

We don't know what they'll do with the tech

But we know what the tech is, what Gemma's role was and how it worked

[wraith sable]

We don’t know why Gemma was chosen

[wintry sinew]

That's a different question

[wraith sable]

We don’t know anything about Gemma in relation to Lumon

[wintry sinew]

That's not Cold Harbor

That's Gemma

[wraith sable]

What is Cold Harbor

Explain it in one sentence

[wintry sinew]

We know that Cold Harbor is the final test in a series of experiments investigating whether or not a severed chip can truly suppress traumatic memories. Gemma has been severed 24 times and forced to undergo scenarios ranging from unpleasant to traumatic, testing whether or not these feelings and memories seep into her Outie or other Innies.

Cold Harbor, the final test, is about reassembling the crib meant to hold the baby she miscarried. The test is whether or not she would remember that, and it seems that she doesn't. This proves that the severed chip does lead to total separation, and can therefore be marketed as a product to prevent people having to experience uncomfortable or painful elements of their life (i.e. bumpy flights, writing thank you cards, grieving a child).

Most of this was explained in Episode 7. Episode 10 just reveals that the last test was grief.

[wraith sable]

I mean here’s the thing though and correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t think that makes any sense because Mark S doesn’t remember that his wife Gemma was killed in a car accident.

[wintry sinew]

Exactly.

[wraith sable]

So we always knew it led to total separation

[wintry sinew]

That's the whole point

[wraith sable]

Then I guess Cold Harbor serves no purpose lol

[wintry sinew]

Nope

[wraith sable]

Yes we did

[wintry sinew]

Ms Cobel very explicitly clarifies this in the episode lol

[wraith sable]

Otherwise Mark S would’ve remembered

[wintry sinew]

Dude you gotta pay more attention

[wraith sable]

I don’t care what she clarifies it doesn’t track

Cold Harbor tackles grief

[wintry sinew]

The numbers that Mark logs are the coding for his own severance chip. Every set of "bad numbers" makes him think of Gemma, that's the point.

[wraith sable]

Mark S forgot he was grieving so did Gemma

[wintry sinew]

He's refining his chip to remove all repressed, subconscious feelings of Gemma

Ms Cobel tells us this

The numbers are Gemma

[wraith sable]

I understand she’s the numbers

[wintry sinew]

Mark is as much a part of the test as Gemma

They're refining the Severance chips to remove even the most buried memories or emotions

In macrodata refinement

The name of Mark's division has told us this from the start lol

[wraith sable]

So it didn’t work for Mark did it 😂

[wintry sinew]

Yes it did

It worked completely lol

Who did he choose at the end?

[wraith sable]

His innie

[wintry sinew]

What?

[wraith sable]

He would’ve always chosen his Innie

Sorry Helly

[wintry sinew]

Yeah

[wraith sable]

He would’ve always chosen Helly

[wintry sinew]

Yes

[wraith sable]

I just don’t buy that he refined jack shit

[wintry sinew]

Ok

That's like saying you don't buy that severance chips could exist lol

It's the sci-fi technobabble of the show

[wraith sable]

No

[wintry sinew]

It's not story, it's background plot

[wraith sable]

It’s just that the actions don’t reflect it

[wintry sinew]

You're nitpicking over the wrong things here

[wintry sinew]

They do

[wraith sable]

Ok here’s a situation

If the thing hadn’t been fully refined, Mark would’ve immediately known Casey was Gemma

But he obviously didn’t put two and two together until he sees the photograph

So I don’t buy that Cold Harbor served a purpose

[thorn ingot]

SEVERANCE

[wintry sinew]

I do

But I also don't really care

Cos it isn't what's interesting about the show lol

[wraith sable]

It it doesn’t 😅

Can you refute what I just said

[wintry sinew]

There's a reason why Question 1 here is - "what is Mark and Helly's plan"

[wraith sable]

They clearly don’t have a plan

[wintry sinew]

Lumon's unknowable cult schemes aren't remotely as interesting as the implications of the Innie and Outtie scenario they've created

[wintry sinew]

Ok

Bro

[wraith sable]

I bought into the decision but it was spontaneous

[wintry sinew]

You have to stop trying to solve a drama lmao

"Objectively there is no plan. It was a bad idea. Narratively it is illogical. No plan, no payoff. What is Cold Harbor anyway?"

[wraith sable]

I wouldn’t be this annoyed if some people didn’t genuinely consider this one of the best shows ever made

[wintry sinew]

(read this in your worst Trump voice)

[wraith sable]

Like I’m sorry

It PALES in comparison with Breaking Bad

I’m just naming a random show

That runs circles around Severance

[wintry sinew]

It's not one of the best shows ever (neither is Breaking Bad), but it is a strong sci-fi drama that has created an interesting scenario

Which is the Innie/Outie dichotomy

[wraith sable]

Sure I agree

I def think Breaking Bad is one of the best

As do most people

[wintry sinew]

We're all complicit in the "out of sight, out of mind" attitude towards exploited workers and communities around the world

Severance is just bringing that same cognitive dissonance to our doorstep

The technicalities don't matter at all

It's an interesting piece of art

[wintry sinew]

Ok

Do you want to be a consensus guy lol

Breaking Bad is really good, it's a great thriller with some of the best performances in all of telly

But it's not the best

[wraith sable]

I wouldn’t call myself complicit

[wraith sable]

Then what is the best your majesty

Better Call Saul is another example!

[wintry sinew]

Dw I was coming to this

Better Call Saul is better yeah

[wraith sable]

I think it’s more consistent

[wintry sinew]

Tbh

I typed out a list

But really it's just a case that there is no "best show ever"

There's like a top tier of 50 or so

Breaking Bad is in there

But you could make the case for basically any of them

Severance isn't on that list but it's also barely started

[wraith sable]

I haven’t seen most old shows

Like I’ve never seen The Wire or Sopranos

I saw the sopranos pilot and it bored me

I wanna watch Oz but there’s no HD version

Fleabag and I May Destroy You are up there

[wintry sinew]

I would say, if there was to be a list of The Greats, it'd need to have:

• Atlanta
• Better Call Saul
• Breaking Bad
• Chernobyl
• Fawlty Towers
• Fleabag
• Girls
• Hannibal
• I Claudius
• I May Destroy You
• Industry
• The Leftovers
• Mad Men
• Mr Robot
• Queer As Folk
• The Sopranos
• Succession
• The Thick Of It
• Twin Peaks
• The Wire

But there are a ton of honourable mentions too lol

I probs wouldn't get very far trying to rank these at all

[wintry sinew]

Try it again

[wraith sable]

Hannibal is my all time favorite

I haven’t seen a lot of those

Some of my favorites (and ones I'd also include):

• Sharp Objects
• Utopia
• The Missing
• Baby Reindeer
• Adolescence
• Shogun (I know the three of them are recent, but they're some of the best TV I've ever seen)
• When they See Us
• The Underground Railroad

I feel like a lot of people would include Oz, The Shield, Mad Men, etc

Also no comedies (my favorite comedies are Nathan for You, The Inbetweeners, and Eastbound and Down)

[wintry sinew]

Great taste

[wintry sinew]

Also really great taste!

I totally forgot The Underground Railroad, pop that on mine as well

Unbelievable show, should've been seen around the world

I'll allow Shogun, even if I didn't gel with it as much as some

[thorn ingot]

Baby Reindeer was great

[full trail]

This show is not lynchian in the slightest lol

[misty fjord]

I use only one extension: ublock

[lime flint]

Just realized that the egg helena split has so much meaning 😭😭

[next sierra]

It's useless to explain a way to see things, it's just "they didn't show what it is" and that's it, the death of imagination, after all I'm not surprised by seeing a 🤡 pfp

But yeah

[lime flint]

how tf does it mean the mind being split into multiple personalities and also the baby?

[next sierra]

Everything in the show has a meaning, Dan Erickson even said it himself

[next sierra]

I was just horrified by hearing his father (supposedly) say ||"I'd like you to eat em raw"|| that guy is a freaking weirdo, and there may be a reason for that too

[lime flint]

he has a mommy fetish probably

[next sierra]

Ew

[lime flint]

I STARTED LAUGHING WHEN HE SAID FUCK

[next sierra]

Lol yeah

[lime flint]

dichen lachmans facial card is unreal

[next sierra]

👆 Privileges

[next sierra]

I heard she was in another show that felt similar, Dolls something

Anyway season 3 imo is gonna be:

[round narwhal]

Milchick dashing only to be late for the cue still has me laughing

[manic herald]

He said that because Kier took ‘em raw and he wants Helena to be more like Kier

Still fucking WEIRD tho

[slim spade]

yeah, the wish for her to eat em raw was weird, but i think it was weirder that he just sat there eating nothing and watching her eat... like why lol

also, the 1st thing Mark and Helly need to do in season 3 is whisper code words to each other so they know for a fact who is who

[lime flint]

Dichen lachman is in shameless??

How did i not know this

[last glade]

I disagree that it succeeded in total separation cause Mark walks in with blood all over and she just trusts him after a minute to follow him and leave the room. Cold Harbour failed

[lime flint]

I honestly feel like lumon is trying to brain wash many people as they can by severing them

[last glade]

Ironically the ones that seem brainwashed are not severed

[lime flint]

Yeah but i feel like their goal is just mind control

And also taking our fine shyt dichen lachman away 💔

[last glade]

Aren’t they already able to do that

[lime flint]

I think they are half way done lmfao

[spring gulch]

@mild leaf

[manic herald]

I think Cold Harbor was actually testing Mark and it succeeded

Mark left his wife of many years to be with Helly

If that’s not a sign of the barriers holding I don’t know what is

https://tenor.com/view/severance-miss-huang-miss-huang-severance-child-severance-sarah-bock-gif-3331109376142748663

[limpid ingot]

I don't think that's it ... at all

It was to make an unthinkable workforce who just complies

I don't think it has anything to do with grief

[wintry sinew]

Why was she building her unborn child’s crib then lol

And why was every other room designed around discomfort or pain

[limpid ingot]

She was taking it apart

He even said, "without thinking"

[wintry sinew]

Same point

[wintry sinew]

Exactly lol

[limpid ingot]

It's nothing to do with grief

[wintry sinew]

The point is that she has no emotional attachment to it after being severed lol

It literally only has to do with grief

[limpid ingot]

It's to create a person who will work without question

[wintry sinew]

So why is it her crib?

Why is it the same crib that was built for the baby she lost?

And why is every other room about a different type of pain?

[limpid ingot]

To make people who will do things without thinking

Do you really think a show that is essentially "corporate bad" will have a company that cares about grief

It's all about creating the perfect worker drone

An unthinking machine

[wintry sinew]

Lad

They’re building chips they can sell to sever unpleasant experiences

You can outsource your pain to an Innie

That’s the endgame of capitalism

Paying not to feel

[wraith sable]

The barriers had also been holding - Mark would've made the same decision had he not completed it

[errant rune]

I’d buy that

[manic herald]

People are misunderstanding this finale so hard lmao

[next sierra]

Well it's nice to have various interpretations

In the end tho I think we all agree the Eagan are some major dbags
Because they just can

[wraith sable]

Get off your high horse genius

[wraith sable]

lol what

What are you trying to prove

[manic herald]

Plenty of people are getting the completely wrong takeaway

[lime flint]

Pure cinema

Not cinema, though

[next sierra]

Been there

[mild leaf]

Shit was crazy this season though

[full trail]

You are 100% correct

[wintry sinew]

Go on then girl, give us your read

[near gulch]

now that severance is over my soul is dull, any recommendation that are similar to this show cause i didn't find any?
technically silo is similar in terms of mystery but severance also has that psychological surreal aspect that silo hasn't

[errant rune]

https://tenor.com/view/severance-hug-ms-casey-gif-5289851842301339200

[manic herald]

Well it’s definitely not that the innies are subhuman, I’ll tell you that

[wintry sinew]

Cool

Tell us your great understanding then lol

Don’t be condescending unless you can back it up

[manic herald]

In regards to the ending, it’s really pushing the ideas of the moral dilemmas that come with Severance as a concept and the individuality between the innies and outies. Mark has to choose between Gemma, who his outie has been married to for years and Helly, the love of his (short) life. In the end he picks Helly, leaving Gemma behind, proving not only does innie Mark have his own sense of personhood that is completely different than his outies, but the severance barriers are holding so strongly that he would leave behind a woman who his outie cares about so much

[wintry sinew]

You have said literally nothing here

Except describing the scene

Well done, you saw the episode and can write a Wikipedia summary

[winter nova]

just watched ep 3, man I sure hope they handle it better this time, I dont want to sit through another hughie situation

[winter nova]

10 mins in ep5 now, ok, ok this is fine

ok yeah, big fan of this developement. It was handled really well

[limpid ingot]

You're just being condescending

It's a tv show

Calm down

It's a mystery box tv show, which will have many potential ways to read it, which is what is at the heart of all good mystery boxes

[wintry sinew]

Girl read what I’m replying to

[limpid ingot]

The only people who know for sure are the ones who made it

[wintry sinew]

Stop trying to police lmao

[limpid ingot]

Nah. I'm just pointing out the pointlessness of shooting down every opinion that doesn't match your own

[wintry sinew]

I was replying to this

[limpid ingot]

It doesn't make good conversation

[limpid ingot]

I don't shoot anything down, I go on to explain my opinion of the happening

Anyway

It's a tv show

[wintry sinew]

You’re picking a fight with the wrong girl

[limpid ingot]

You're getting a little too eager ...

[wintry sinew]

Idk why

Maybe you’re lonely

[limpid ingot]

It's weird that you think I'm picking a fight and then lead with a personal insult

[wintry sinew]

Once again, this is the guy I was pushing back on lol

Anyway

You can go back to talking about the show, just don’t ping me again thanks

[limpid ingot]

That's ok, though. You've put me off wanting to converse about this show

[wintry sinew]

Bummer

[near sun]

they were specifically talking about an article they read that had a stupid opinion about the finale

not trying to be pretentious or anything

[near sun]

this article (or post or something)

[manic herald]

Literally

God forbid I have an opinion

Ur right, sorry

I misread and now respect u more

[next sierra]

Station Eleven that I'm currently wattching, and The Resort, to name a few recent ones that were also rec'd to me

[next sierra]

I wonder who bergman reacted to it

You know who else thinks the "innie" mind has no real value for the "outie" mind, and thus it can be freely exploited out of any rights regarding the whole person (even tho they may have signed on the legal-term misleading fine print)?

It may probably be the same kind of entity who thinks it's alright to bury some thoughts deep inside the psyche to the point of forgetting it, leading to consequences as a different sense of reality

Hey why not just put up a smile

[near gulch]

noted
i was looking at a website recommending stuff similar to severance i got some interesting shows as well

like devs, i've seen the trailer it's so similar to severance

https://youtu.be/Fp9LMsI6uJ8

[next sierra]

Thanks checking it out

[next sierra]

Praise be 🙏 thanks much, added

[near gulch]

yeah same with station eleven as well

[next sierra]

We got our good share of copium now

[near gulch]

i so want that severance vibe again

i'm addicted now

[next sierra]

Btw there is also Yellowjackets but it's got a different setting and plays on mystery in a different way and there are some unneeded scenes to skip, but yeah - and the latest season is kind of a 🤷

[next sierra]

Looking at Dan Erickson's inspiration for the show might give some inspiration to ourselves

Not ready for another rewatch of the Matrix tho (excluding the 4th one that is just a meme)

[near gulch]

i loved so much maniac and this station eleven is made by the same director!!

i wanna watch it

[next sierra]

Dichen Lachman (Gemma) was also in Dollhouse, I've read in an article that is quite the same but the preview and the poster for it didn't really get me

[next sierra]

It's really well done, with the temporal shifting and the story building, some things may sound a bit inconsequential or implausible but it is easy to get over them and just enjoy the show

I think I have not seen Maniac

[near gulch]

i've seen maniac it's as confusing as you're describing this show, dw i think i'll like it if that's similar to it

it kinda has the same feeling of the main protagonist being unhappy about his life in a dystopian world

[next sierra]

There is a phylosophy behind it that is quite relatable

[near gulch]

i recommend maniac, it's a very short series with emma stone

[next sierra]

Ah it's that one

[near gulch]

yes

[near gulch]

idk about dollhouse i will check that too

[next sierra]

Let me know if you check it out in depth

[near gulch]

yeah sure

[next sierra]

When he says "pain can be destroyed" reminded me of Westworld, another good show you probably might've seen already, that plays on the mind

Devs + Maniac, I'm in for a treat

Just really not sure about Dollhouse, I'll let that one to the brave ones

[near gulch]

i've heard of westworld since i've watched fallout

[next sierra]

Imagine waking up from a cryo sleep

[full trail]

This is actually the funniest thing on earth

[pale linden]

i hope helly r gets shot next season

genuinely hate her

unlike my glorious queen gemma

[pale linden]

winston im having a full immortal vs rexsplode comparison rn

i fucking despise helly r

genuinely

i pray she dies next season

[slim spade]

you hate her more than Helena?

[pale linden]

i hate them both equally

[slim spade]

for me innies are too young to hate. theyre basically toddlers

[pale linden]

thankfully kids suck so i can hate em

actually

i hate helena more

but helly is fucking trash

bitch why the fuck u appearing at the worst possible time to take my sunshines happiness away you fucking shower thought existence having beta ass plain as day dressed fucking needle spawn

shes trash, idgaf if she makes mark s happy

ms casey can do the same jus give her a chance mark s, trust

[slim spade]

so you just love gemma to the degree that anyone who stands in her way of happiness is pure evil?

[pale linden]

yes

absolutely

idgaf how morally fucked that is i jus wanna see gemma happy, idgaf abt helly r or her feelings

[slim spade]

is that based on anything about her personality or do you just find the actress overtly attractive?

[pale linden]

i jus think shes super charming and sweet

also miss caseys awkward comfort around people was cute

[near sun]

gemma >>>>>>>

helly r <<<<<<<

[pale linden]

also if it came down to looks yea gemma sweeps helly

[slim spade]

its all pretty subjective. to me the actress who plays gemma has a very odd look, but its all just opnions so we're both right

[pale linden]

mark is the ceo of fumbling istg

btw winston i didnt thumbs u down

[slim spade]

ah lol, i guess i just assumed

[pale linden]

i love u 2 much for standing up for ur opinions to thumbs you down

unless said opinion is defending trap or joker 2

then i will thumbs you down double hand style

[slim spade]

nah, joker 2 is unwatchable. went into it with an open mind, still feel like a musical couldve worked, they just shit the bed

[pale linden]

i love u so much

stay winning winston

[slim spade]

[pale linden]

GLORY TO THE GEMMA NATION

DOWN WITH HELLY R

[next sierra]

I was thinking about this too and just dismissed my mind telling it "you're so stupid" but damn thanks for bringing this to actual life lmao

That gemma is gold, helly is poop sounds like a radicalized thought deep somewhere in the mind - maybe a severance could fix that

[deep bison]

Hate all the characters equally

[next sierra]

I remember seeing back in the day someone with a picture in their bio saying "I hate everyone equally", long before Severance, it stuck with me because (despite the actual intended meaning by the person) it sounded quite a fair thing to do, to the others and to your own personal mental health

Lumon Terminal Pro 🤡

[manic herald]

I loved it tbh.

Idk what else people expected from it

[next sierra]

Not knowing is a bliss

Which is proper to the current channel

[pale linden]

I genuinely hope helly r dies horribly next season

[misty fjord]

why put it in store if you wont let people buy it

[pale linden]

I mean ngl idk why anyone besides mega fans would buy it

Its basically just a old school pc with keys missing and a track ball

It would have to be pretty cheap to buy and even then it would be a bulky addition to someones collection

[slim spade]

you must eradicate from your essence childish folly

[next sierra]

This would cost around 150-200€ to build it yourself with raspberry Pi

[alpine canyon]

the most Ben Wyatt, Adam Scott has looked in the series

[manic herald]

The fuck she do to you?

Oh noooo she doesn’t want to die??

How selfish of her!

[clear turret]

sorry I’m late guys but the finale was super yum 😋

[clear turret]

it’s okay…

[pale linden]

nah idm the fact she wants to live

i do mind her jus showing up at the end to literally sway mike to her

meanwhile dylans in the office holding milchick back

[next sierra]

Maniac is what Severance could have been in a different reality, quality show heavily recommended 💯

[maiden river]

Harmony says she's one of jame's when going in w mark

[slim spade]

i dont think im down for multiple spin offs of Severance. i hate when someone comes up with something good and then decide to turn it into a forever revenue stream... just tell the story and end it
