The Mrs. went from hitting eject on this show because it was moving too slow to yelling about the screen cutting to black before Dylan flipped the switch. I really enjoy the "Lost" vibe that this show is giving off, and am very excited about what this next episode will reveal when they "wake up" - especially with Mark in Cobel's arms.

This show has some of the most consistent cliffhanger endings I've ever seen. Every week we are yelling at the screen when it ends.

Never seen Lost though.

The cliffhanger endings are very similar to Lost and the wtf things they would find in the jungle.

Purely speculations, but with the shot of Helly R in cocktail attire at a party, she has to be at the Lumon HQ board meeting/party when Dylan snaps them out of it right? Maybe she's married to a board member and realizes her husband is doing this to her and freaks TF out?


I think she or her husband is the CEO going undercover trying to figure out who is sabotaging them from the inside.

The angle of Marks niece is what I can't figure out. A hardened disciple is very interested in her.

I took a month off between episode 1 and episode 2 and didn't put things together that we were seeing the Innie and Outie view of Helly trying to leave. With it put together in order it makes so much more sense.

This is awesome, and thank you for posting this. I completely whiffed on this realization as well.

I'm guessing we will largely agree on this but who is your standout character so far on this show?

Milchick has to be at the top. That guy is awesome in this.

And Ricken is hilarious because of his absurdity.

Milchick so perfectly combines that fake corporate cheeriness with occasionally revealed menace. It's really impressive.

Ricken is hilarious, but the most unbelievable thing about this show isn't its sci-fi-ness, it's that Mark's seemingly cool/fun/sane sister is *with* Ricken. I just do not get that relationship at all.

The montage of Rickey book quotes was sneaky funny as hell that and Dylan add a nice lighthearted and comedic touch to what is a high tension, who to trust, drama.
But really surprised I like this show so much. Not the biggest fan of all the main characters and household name actors, maybe except Walken, but he's low on my celebrity favorites.
I also love how there is high tech worked on low tech hardware. I don't know what you would call that, futuristic-analog? But l like that theme choice

Yes, I've been baffled by this as well but then I guess that's par for the course of this show. I still laugh about that dinner party they had.

Looks like old Apple graphics to me for some reason on their desktops.

And BTW, how about the ending cut scene when Helly completed her project? So damn odd when he finishes his speech with, "I...I love you."

As if digital Kier had come to that conclusion during the ending cut scene. Lol. Weird.

Good work Helly and Mark but my god could Irving have possibly been more useless? He accomplished/learned nothing and had no sense of urgency whatsoever.

We now why after the finale of you think about it

Holy sh*t, that may very well have been one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen. What an absolute thrill ride. I kept yelling at the screen throughout and then this was literally me the second it cut to black at the end, I was so hyped…



What a masterclass of tension and pacing. Just so good, so smart, and so damn clever. It was a great conceit from the jump, the moment that first trailer dropped, but maximized to its full potential tonight, something that rarely ever happens.

Where they go from here, I have no idea. I don't know how they do anything even resembling the basic premise of season one now, but whatever it is, I'm here for it.

Wow.

Ya the finale was awesome, very suspenseful.

I still do not understand the concept of women going through severance during pregnancy.

Yeah, we were wondering if she was severed for labor or the whole pregnancy or what?

Wow.
I actually have an idea, to at least reset the status quo for an episode or two. They undergo the process again but there are flaws and it doesn't last long.

And holy ****, what an incredible episode

Alright TexAgs....we can do better. I'm shocked that there aren't pages after pages for each of the episodes. Maybe it was because this was just the first season, but I do expect more going forward.

That being said - can we start posting screenshots and grabs from all the Easter Eggs last night?
