Has anyone talked about color theory yet

I saw some online theories that blue = work and red = life outside work

Most of the town is blue because it’s owned by the company

Mark’s home is mostly blue tinted because the company probably owns it. His couch is reddish because that’s probably the thing he picked out himself and owns

Helly’s red hair ties in with her rejection of the office.

When Petey’s head reintegrates and he dies, he is bathed in both the red and blue police lights

The dance party starts out with red and blue light because it’s a mingling of the outside world into the office. But as Dylan becomes overwhelmed with thoughts about his outie’s son the lights are completely red.

Thoughts on the number sorting:

If they can sort the files to 100%, would that not mean that the company already knows where (or at least how many) the “bad” numbers are? Then would that mean their work is arbitrary and completely meaningless?

Just confirming before I put the upload req in, this is the img y'all want for your sick nasty gang tag, right?

e: PS anybody who wants the tag, pls quote me and let me know if you also wish to keep the tags/etc you have now. last i checked, there is no hard limit on how many tags you can have, but it is up to mod discretion to prune them if they find it obnoxiously long

e2: disregard my stoned rear end, I see some tags goin thru already!!

greetings Lumon employees

two Group Assigned Nomination Gift tags have been uploaded onto the official servers and will be given out impartially and equally in line with company procedure





note the differing file names which should not be taken to mean anything - we are all fellow employees here

Reporting for duty after getting my gang tag. Show loving rules. Stellar performances all around but I think the standout for me has to be Zach Cherry. I also love Michael Chernus' performance as Ricken, reminded me I need to go back and watch season 2 of Patriot!

I’ve always read Lumon as an IBM-like company: upstate NY hq unlike all the west coast tech companies, long and morally murky history, mandated use of in-house antiquated technology, and a household name but nobody knows exactly what they do anymore after divesting their retail goods

Had to bail on the thread soon after my last post to avoid spoilers. Great finale and of course the perfect timing to end the episode.

Obviously you can argue until in you're blue in the face about the philosophical definitions of a personhood or whatever. But the show made it pretty clear that for all practical purposes, these are separate personalities even if they share some basic traits or learned skills (like driving apparently). If an innie wants to quit and isn't allowed, that's extremely hosed up, even ignoring the break room poo poo. Mark's been severed for 2 years, imagine never leaving work for two years straight. It's pretty shocking his innie isn't completely insane, actually.

Yeah a lot of the detains about the company is clearly kept secret from the viewers. It seems clearly to be a big company but how crazy it is, not so clear. The severed operation we've seen is very small, so it could be like some sort of skunkworks type of situation that they are now trying to roll out on a bigger scale with Helley's pitch.


The board is Management from Counterpart



Took me a minute to remember where I saw it before and then another to dig up the name. Here's a scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V40fCvN9g9c

And now I'm mad again about that show being canceled after 2 seasons.

Speaking of canceled, had to actually check that this show isn't. Apparently they should've just started filming this month.

Look, everyone needed some punch cards back then

There's not a separate blackout version of you that retains the memories from when you blackout and builds a whole identity around those memories though.

Robby Benson as in Prince Alexander of Daventry!? Guy has been pretty much off the radar since I was a kid. Not a name I would expect to see outside of doing Beauty and the Beast voice over for Kingdom Hearts dubs.
