re: Severance Season 2 Discussion (Spoilers)

I’m back into Milkshake being severed and doesn’t know it.

A regular person wouldn’t bring a pineapple gift basket to someone who just got fired/Had their entire life upended and expect a positive response. A normal person would also not be willing to work 24 hours a day and ride a motorcycle in the snow

Well we know Cobel/Selveig isn't and she is part of the cult and did batshit things...

Did I miss something big? It’s possible because my wife asks questions non stop during this show. Is the clone stuff just speculation or has there been a reveal that I missed?

Speculation from Ms Huang status and Gemma being alive and whole. Also it’s obvious Cold Harbor has something to do with human manipulation in some form the most likely is reanimating the dead or cloning(the goats as a clue)

You probably right here. More machine than man.

Speculation, but if. you watch the clip of Stiller talking through how they shot the hallway running scene, he throws wood on the fire with the comment of "who's that in the background, looks an awful lot like you"

I’d imagine red herrings are what the whole cast and crew will be throwing out for the duration

So I've been back of head trying to put this timeline together.

Y'all help me piece this together.

We see innie Mark right back into svr'd floor in E1, but in E2, we see outie Mark had 2 days to decide to come back.

This is somewhat confirmed when Milkshake says he only had 48 hours to get the new MDR workers.

It seems from there, innie Mark made it 3 days before plugging in the speaker to the board asking for his friends.

That's a total of 5 days. At the meeting at Lumen, Helena is told Mark's request is going to be met. That could possibly give Helena only that night to come up with a story and easily have uncertainty trying to be Helly R.

This also gives 5 days for outie Irv and outie Burt to possibly know more than a few minutes. Same for Dylan, which we only see him job hunting.

But, everyone has 5 days, except Mark, he got 2 days. Or am I over thinking this?

I really have no idea where they are going with what MDR is doing. It could go a lot of places. The easiest is cloning, but this show doesn't seem to want the easy way, so I'm not bought it on clones just yet.

We know that MDR is sorting the code based on the Four Tempers, which Kier believes everyone must tame. Cold Harbor is a famous Civil War battle, and Kier served as likely a medic or doctor in the war before founding Lumon in 1865. So maybe some connection there.

Marks says "Persephone" in episode 2 in reference to Gemma - Persephone being a Greek goddess who was kidnapped by Hades and made queen of the underworld (Gemma on the severed floor). Persephone spends time both in the underworld and living world as per a deal between Hades and Demeter. The story goes that Persephone is a vegetation/spring goddess. While she spends time in the underworld, plants don't grow (which is a big part of the scenery of this show - dormant/dead vegetation).

I don't really know. I'm just kind of throwing things out there. Really, I'm along for the ride. I'm not the best at putting two and two together.
