What a fantastic episode, whole thing was tense except for Irving's scenes. Compared to what all the other characters had at play, his story was a drag.

It was true to the character but yes I definitely wanted more about whatever outie Irving is up to

Didn’t that reveal Irving is the mole? or did I misunderstand the scene with the printouts

I was fully expecting Milchick to be playing a part in the life of someone's outtie.

Also, not sure where they go in season 2. Safe to say that none of those innie's will be motivated workers knowing what they now know.

One of the most stressful episodes of tv I’ve ever watched for sure. I’m surprised I made it through without having to pause a handful of times.

I’m so glad Mark was able to get the words out first, I was worried everything was going to be for naught.

Dylan gets MVP for staying in position like a champ, I can feel the muscles in my arms scream out just watching that.

Yeah, I was getting irritated because NONE of them were doing what they all promised they would do. I hate it when movies and TV shows do that thing where none of the characters are capable of communicating the most obvious of things.

lmao I didn’t realize Dylan was gonna have to hold the switches the entire time. My earlier thought of using the gift to help would have actually been a great idea :classiclol:

I felt like we were strung along a bit too much, especially how casually Mark was willing to wait around to politely tell his sister wtf is going on. I get they were completely out of their element and didn’t want to screw poo poo up completely but god drat.

Kreeblah posted:

That ended right where I figured it would. Holy poo poo, what a trip.

I did not expect Cobel to try to get back in with Lumon when she realized Mark was his innie self. Maybe I should have (given her shrine), but doing that immediately after telling outie Mark to get out . . . she turns on a loving dime.

I didn’t see this either! Makes sense though, imagine being kicked out of Scientology while still believing in it.

Yeah, I was getting annoyed with them stretching it out. You don't know how much time you have, just start blurting poo poo out and/or writing it down.

Also, Dylan was a trooper. Dude resisted the temptation of paintball and coffee koozies.

Anyone else get nervous for Irving when he got into the car and realized his innie has never driven a car?

I think his one had more revelations to uncover once we saw he was the mole with a severed employee list. One guy who was in a car crash and had a lawsuit with the city potentially was made to be severed! Also we got confirmation of Burt being in a gay relationship, it seems

His glasses were so close to falling off his nose towards the end.

There was another Dylan G above it with no notes.

edit: apparently it's Dylan George, which is the name with no notes, not the 58 y/o one

This was one of the most uncomfortable parts of the episode for me. I don’t even know why, but watching them slowly change position as they slid down his face just emphasized how he couldn’t move.

So "revolving" has to be some form of immortality, right? Like somehow having your mind put in another body or something similar? Her dad's body is clearly on it's last legs. So maybe MDR is mind wiping people so Eagan can take over a body with no resistance

Did we really learn anything new other than Helly's family backstory which alot of us had already figured out? Don't get me wrong, that was a thrilling episode of TV but I wish they had been a little more expository.

i definitely thought this too. maybe the same procedures that can wipe and reset Innies can be used to wipe regular people, Ms. Casey style, and put an Eagen in to take over the body

What an infuriating episode.

It's 20 minutes of shock recovery, and nothing substantial happens until literally the last 3 minutes.

I mean literally literally, you can actually skip to the end -3 and get the whole episode.

I loving hate it when TV does this.

Irving's license plate has numbers, a picture of Kier's face, and the phrase REMEDIUM HOMINIBUS on it -- same as Mark's earlier this season, looks like

i just assume that if we're in the US, it's a very alt history united states

I think that Irving doing work to track other severed people is pretty important. Doesn't really factor in to any events we've seen so far though.

This is the first time Irving has seen a dog, the whole episode should have been him playing fetch with that Very Good Dog. "Oh, I was supposed to do something? But DOG!"
