The Jacob's Ladder Theory - they living out another reality. Last episode is Gemma and Mark on the operating table and both die from the car crash but their consciousness somehow lives on in the hell that is Lumon.


With the separate things going on with each character, maybe all 4 are in ICU/coma. And what they are testing is finding away to get their consciousness to live on in a computer something like that Black Mirror where they uploaded the old people to the cloud.

Maybe Mark is the first patient that has come close to making it viable.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. Part of Dylan's original badassness was that he had no conception of what's upstairs. He talked about people living underwater because the Earth was so messed up. He had no frame of reference for the outside world. He kicked arse at his job and has the finger traps to prove it. He assumed his outie kicked arse also.



I feel bad for innie Dylan. Talk about a gut punch to learn the reality about his outie.

good points.

they did mention "taking out cameras" in the first episode though so I wonder how many are still up and active. surely they'd see them wandering the halls again.

That Black Mirror episode was called San Junipero. Worth watching for folks who a fan of Severance but haven't seen it. That may well be where we headed with all this in some regard.

As good as that Black Mirror was, I hope it is something else. Want it to be original just like the show has been thus far.

I like to think of Severance as a series Black Mirror wishes they had come up with.

Severance is on the same epic level as Dark to me. It’s going to be an all timer if it doesn’t go off the rails…anyone know how many seasons are planned?

Lots to unpack after that one.

Poor Gemma is severed multiple times. That doctor is a freak. You can get a quick glimpse of him when Mark and Gemma visit the fertility clinic so they have been planning this for years. I need Dr. Freak and Nurse Ratched to meet absolutely terrible ends for torturing her. Does her body revert to Gemma if Ms. Casey can make it to the main elevator?

I love Devon but even considering calling Cobel is fricking retarded. Now we lost the brain surgeon.

The evil severed floor was incredibly creepy with the alternates of the severed squad.

Loved the way they shot the flashback scenes.

Only three episodes to go.

So the blood donation machine had a Lumon logo. Seems that the blood made Mark, Gemma or both desirable for Lumon.

Gemma has at least 7 different severed personalities. One reality that is constantly the dentist is a nightmare. Then another writing thank you cards. Freaking torture. Any sympathy I had for Milchik is gone pecan. That fricker sent Ms. Casey right back into the mind shredder.

Didn’t really get what was going on with the laminated card that was like the one Dylan stole from O&D. She was drawing it? Obviously some kind of test or conditioning.

Wonder if Lumon was preventing her getting pregnant with those shots.

I really need to see the nurse and doc get impaled on something.

Devon went full retard.

ETA: who had Ricken pegged as an accomplished mountain climber?

I am going to need a moment after that episode.

That is some depressing stuff to digest for a week.

1000% agree.

I was not surprised to learn he belayed his first couloir in middle school.

Absolutely.

Somehow there's a room that made her think she was in an airplane. That sort of altered reality trick could explain the ORTBO.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seemed like Gemma was in the process of being recruited by Lumon and maybe she got severed on her own.

Was Gemma ever in a car crash? Did she initially agree to work on the testing floor?

Add Milchick to the list too.

Now that you mention it, it does seem so. It seems like there are a lot of parallels with what I imagine Scientology to be based on documentaries and South Park. Keir’s tempers are the Severance version of thetans. Those weird cards are used to recruit.

I bet they promised her a way to have a child. While having prevented the pregnancy the whole time.

I know, right? That girl is so attractive.

Devon is the sane one. Cobel can help and she cares about Mark and the overall picture, whatever that may be.

frick that witch doctor. She already killed Petey. She is a quack.

Couple of power cameos. Robby Benson as the doctor and Sandra Bernhard as the nurse.

Thank you! I kept trying to figure out who creepy Lightfoot dentist was.
