Oh yeah. Did not see that coming. Still need to read the letter they posted on Apple Bookstore two days ago (very Lost like)

Oh, and "You smug motherf/cker" / "Let's burn this place to the ground" were just amazing line deliveries from Turturro. I love this cast so much.

The Milchick dance scene was great, need those lights in my house

Great Ex Machina esque dance scene here

Another thing I'm really starting to wonder about is "the board." Part of me thinks they/it might not even be human, and instead could be aliens or A.I. or something, though I can't tell if that would be too "out there" for this show or not. I'm just so curious to see how they/it are depicted when Cobel finally meets with them in person, hopefully here in the next episode or two.

I figured Mark's wife was still alive (or something of the sorts) but didn't remotely expect it to be Casey.

Also, when Graner walked into the basement I immediately thought he was a double agent and working against Severance. That thought lasted about 2 seconds before he got his head bashed in, but that would have been an interesting twist too. I wonder if there is someone on the inside.

The actor who plays Milchick is absolutely nails. Dude goes from a smiling happy disposition to stone cold mother****er better than anyone I've seen in a long time. I've never seen him in anything else and his IMDB is rather thin (apparently he's in Godfather of Harlem but I don't get Epix) but he's perfect in this role.

I also really like the actor playing Dylan, who reminds me of so many engineers I've worked with in the past and really adds some depth and realism to the environment.

So bummed there are only two episodes left. I have a feeling there will be quite a cliffhanger to end this season.

ETA - LOVED when Cobel was demonstrating the latch technique and then slams the fake baby down after she's done. That killed me.

My same exact thought, re: Graner.

I started this show and really enjoyed the premier, but it got a little too depressing and gross (chip implant scenes - ugh!) for me to stick with it.

Now I just read the recaps to follow along and see how the mystery plays itself out / if I should jump back in at some point.
Thanks and gig'em

Helly's outie was so insistent that she stays, figured she is working with the lady that Mark met at the beginning of the episode. Still think Helly is somehow connected to Petey since the picture of June at his funeral looked so much like Helly.

Hope we get some hints in the next episode about what their files/numbers actually do, similar to what was hinted at in the Lexington Letter.

There was an exchange early in the season where Milchick told Helly's outie that he respects what she's doing (or something along those lines), in a reverential way. So I got the impression that her outie is on Lumon's side, for whatever reason, though I could be wrong.

Damn that was good.

So are they killing Bert, or what? I can't imagine they are just going to let him go due to "retirement". And his outies contradictory Bye Bye speech was hilarious.

I just can't figure out what the motive of all of this is other than just testing mind control.

Damn this show is so good. The Music Dance Experience was so bizarre and awesome.

Was convinced his wife would be Helly, but Ms Casey has me even more intrigued

That was a good fake out as I was convinced it would be Helly.

So what I don't understand is Casey also severed and if so why isn't her outie looking for Mark? She almost would have to be in on it otherwise and they would have to take very careful steps with her outside travel to ensure Mark or his sister and husband don't accidentally run into her in the outside world. This town doesn't seem very big so why take that risk?

I was wondering if there are more than the "typical" innie / outie version of a severed. We've seen at least one other version with the Senator's wife who may have severed so she could forget child birth or something about having a kid?

Wondering if Casey is permanently at Lumon and never leaves.

Maybe the car accident was real and they simply inform the loved one she's deceased and they use that as an opportunity to perform the procedure although how do they provide a body to Mark for the funeral/cremation? Lots of questions.

Maybe they told him she was badly mauled that they did a closed casket and/or used another dead body that they disfigured. Or maybe they did precision severance on he and his family?

What was up with Dylan/Dillon in the bed with the founders mask on and whips? That stuff had some real eyes wide shut vibes lol. Weird waffle party

Milcheck is nails, his demeanor and smile are great at making you feel a little uncomfortable.

Casey is hot.

Check this out. The dance routine is a recreation of a painting. Probably turned Dylans innie into and outie

This show has been a pleasant surprise for me. Every twist and turn feels completely earned and not just for the sake of plot. Also just realized Casey is from Altered Carbon.

Great show - it's really paced itself nicely. Great mixture of weird and uncomfortable, and the DANCE PARTIES. Who wouldn't want to work at Lumon?!

I can't be the only one that is starting to equate Lumon lore to the bible right? From the "Compliance" book, to the revered pictures. Some other scatter shooting...


  • SETH Milichick
  • Ms Corbel - (Charlotte Corbel? It looked like she had a C-PAP type device on her Kier altar at home
  • Egg bar coveted as ****
  • Who the hell is on the board?!
  • We got a brief glimpse of Helly R's outtie - looked like she was in cocktail attire when she's about to get severed. (I dunno what it is, but Helly R has the sexiest walk I've ever seen)


When we saw Casey getting fired / black elevator, and realized this was Irving's painting - I was like:

Fairly certain the pages of compliance were gold tinged like some bibles.

Yeah very curious about Irving's painting

I love this show. It is deeply unsettling. I laughed so hard at the waffle party scene. Just who comes up with this bizarre ***** It's so dang weird and I love it.

Tell people about it because it still hasn't gotten renewed for season 2.

The Watch guys at The Ringer podcast network interviewed Adam Scott a few weeks ago, then offhandedly mentioned in the podcast a week or so later that season two was set to start filming soon, so I took that as them having insider info from Scott himself (as one of the hosts is friends with Scott). But then yeah, Britt Lower, who plays Helly, just today on Twitter said they haven't yet heard if they're renewed or not. So who knows. I can't imagine Apple not renewing it, though. If anything, it's a name-brand cast/filmmaker, and is super buzz-worthy. That, and if Apple renewed the horrible Invasion for season two, they almost have to renew this.

Don't recall but I think I'm right about Casey never leaving. Also trending right about Arquette

Insane show. Seems to be some satanic stuff going on with those dancers.

They were recreating one of the Four Tempers painting, thought that was an interesting catch.

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?

They said something early on about how honored they were about Helly joining them. Made me think that she was at least somewhat well-known or famous.
