I would agree to be severed for my workplace if I could get multiple other Docs 1) a Doc whose job it is to drop huge mudpies only. I hit that batroom door, it's over for me and the game is just beginning for Doc-1 2) a Doc who is trapped at the gym. I bet this secretly kicks rear end by allowing you to see your gains in a more compressed manner 3) this one is a little harder but a Doc whose sole purpose is to do all my menial house chores. I figure if the company's gonna be spying on me anyway, someone can monitor the switches to make sure this is happening as needed 4) obviously, a Doc who is trapped at work. idk what we gotta do to make this happen. 4 severs, 4 chips? gimme it baby. we talkin one chip but it's a quadcore? let's party ms cobel

Lots of parts of this definitely reminded me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, especially Adam Scott's outtie. I binged it in two days but will definitely go back later and give this a slower re-watch to see what else I can pick up.

Aye Doc posted:I would agree to be severed for my workplace if I could get multiple other Docs 1. I can't imagine what this existence would be like. Wake up, big poo poo about to come out, sit down, poo poo, wipe, get up, wash hands, walk to door, big poo poo about to come out, sit down... 2. This probably would be pretty neat. Do your reps, go to walk out, walk back in, check your gains, you're refreshed, do more reps. 3. This would probably be the worst one. At least taking a big poo poo is satisfying, nothing satisfying about cleaning up a mess you didn't make. Also, how do you handle cleaning the bathroom? Does innie 3 do it, or does innie 1 just realize that there's no poo poo on the way and he's holding cleaning supplies?

reintegration seems like a merging of the two. i'm talking more of an extreme bicameral mind kind of thing. like a two headed ogre with each half a head

i'm a bit disappointed they didn't do what i originaly thought they were doing with mark's boss. for a while i thought there was a twist or gimmick that she was severed, but that both of her knew a whole lot, just in a different way, and that's why she acted different at work and as "mrs. whatsit next door". and that her Innie and Outtie were therefore like "equal" in a way

I’d want to be severed so I could watch Severance again for the first time. And then that severed me gets turned back on when season two comes out so he doesn’t have to wait a year.

Just realized that there was probably a thread for this and I keep thinking about how the only time the innies ever hear music is team-building events with their abusive corporate guideline officer (I don't remember if there was diegetic music in the Perpetuity Wing, and there was the song Petey mentioned about Mark's elevator allergy)

And yes....the parallels here are pretty obvious. First few episodes were quite the slow burn. The payoff in the last few episodes was well worth it.

I talked my parents into watching the show, and my dad called me up all excited last night. Turns out that my uncle worked at the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex back in the 60s. Probably would never have known that if not for Severance, so that's cool and now it feels like I have a tiny extra connection to the show.

Especially since apparently as a fired employee she was allowed to essentially just walk in all the way to the stage unimpeded. she actually does a lot just by letting milchik know whats going on. the innies could have done a lot more damage with an hour or so. thats probably good enough to get her job back milchik is the one that is utterly hosed. the whole fiasco is basically entirely his fault

I guess it's possible he was worried that someone would notice the card was missing once O&D came in the next day, and he'd get in trouble. Or that it had been smuggled out somehow.

Also gotta wonder what's in that card, can't just be laminated cardstock, gotta be some kind of rfid or circuitry or something in there, right? secret encoding for innies to trigger manchurian protocol?

Apple apparently released a book that might explain the card a bit. I didn't even know about it until I was reading theories about the card, but apparently the book suggests pictures can get past the security system. This would explain why something seemingly inconsequential became so urgent. Lumon doesn't want them to figure out they can get images past security. Looks like a short read, and I'm craving more Severance, so I'm definitely going to check it out.
