February 22Feb 22 I really appreciate the speed in their story telling. Last week Milchick threatened iMark with the whole "you tell Helly you fuck her outie yet?", and this week iMark talks to Helly about banging Helena. Spoiler I bet Helly is knocked up, when she stalked oMark to Zufu (which translates to grandfather) she talked about taking Mark to meet her dad - the baby's grandfather. When he left, the sign flickered to just say "fu" behind oMark as he walked to his car, which translates to "father" Poor oMark, now two versions of Helena have banged him, but he doesn't remember any of it Edit: I just noticed gsoda said the same thing few posts up /facepalm Edited February 22Feb 22 by Captainant

February 22Feb 22 The scene with Dylan G and his outie's wife made me a little sad. Agree with someone upthread who said the innies are like teenagers right now. Feels like that portends to some violent outbursts happening soon. The power structure is so interesting at Lumen because Milcheck took the performance review so hard when it was the evaluation and experiences of a child.
February 22Feb 22 Innie Dylan is most certainly going to bang chunky Pam Beasley. Maybe Helly can make them a tent.
February 23Feb 23 I’m hoping Milcheck will start to question his loyalties and eventually turn again Lumon and help the innies escape their captivity. I think possibly this episode could be the beginning of that.

Fu by itself means father. And Attila (name of episode) etymology also traces back to “father” in gothic. And all the babies in the intro sequence.

Clearly Helena is trying to test how re-integrated Mark S. is. I also agree with the prevailing theory that she/they is/are pregnant. So much exploration of innies and outies being distinct individuals - I also enjoyed the introduction of the theological implications of separate souls, access to Heaven, etc. I think the Gemma project’s ultimate end game is to “re-animate” the Eagan lineage through innie vessels. “Cold Harbor” could refer to long-dead Eagans being in cold storage and getting their consciousness revived through the project/innies.

February 23Feb 23 So if father Egan was a twin with dieter. Is this foreshadowing to Helena now having twins but one conceived with her outie controlling the situation and one conceived with her innie controlling? Weird shit.
February 23Feb 23 40 minutes ago, Ted Lange said: She doesnt know he is being re-integrated. I think she does. We never re-visited the scene after I-Mark and Hallie banged and he passed out frothing at the mouth on the severed floor. Surely that will raise suspicions and (while it’s not exactly clear with their ambiguity about time) I think the restaurant scene was after he passed out. Also, the giant who did Milchick’s performance review was spying on Mark in the diner earlier this season, so I definitely think they know something is up.

What if the “twin” was never real and was his sinful, “woe” id/ego, and Helly/Helena will have a son that is two separate people, depending on whether their mother is Helena or Helly in the moment? So they create a severed person without having to implant a chip.

February 23Feb 23 Innie Mark, Innie Helly dont know. Helena might have suspensions, but I don't think so.
February 24Feb 24 How I imagine the Lumen severance procedure after seeing the crevice in Mark's head.

So they create a severed person without having to implant a chip. I've always figured that the "twin" wasn't so much a twin as a devil on Keir's shoulder. That the point of the story was that Keir vanquished his more unsavory half and then became who he was, and that the story was more of a fable than a real occurrence. But your theory about creating a severed person without implanting a chip is an interesting one.

February 24Feb 24 One thing is for damned sure - Lumon is WAAAYYYYY behind on following child labor laws 🙂. "Miss" Huang should be at the Jr High sitting in her Social Studies class, not working on the Severed floor....

February 26Feb 26 On 2/24/2025 at 1:38 PM, Red Five said: I don't know how old she's supposed to be, but the actress playing her is 18. Yep. She’s a freshman at Northwestern. That’s gotta be crazy having Miss Huang in your class. The “inside the episode” segment after the last episode was interesting. Not from a plot point of view, but from an actor’s perspective. Christopher Walken talked about how he and Fields were supposed to be this couple for 30 or 40 years, yet Walken first met John Noble (who plays Fields) the day of the dinner shoot. So it was challenging for him to convey to the audience the little nuances of life partners when he just met the guy earlier in the day. But Walken said he’d worked with Turturro on 6 other projects, so they’ve had a nice rapport.
February 26Feb 26 I've been wondering what it's like to direct a scene involving Walken and Turturro? Do you even dare say anything, or do you just sit there agape and let them do their thing?

I got the feeling she just wanted some more action and thought she could get with the outie too. She could just be weird like her family too. I mean every other Egan we’ve seen is not right in the head. Maybe this is her oddity showing up.
February 28Feb 28 That one was visually fantastic. I'm not exactly sure what the hell is going on, or why, other than creepy-ass medical experimentation. But Irving was right, Lumon needs to burn. Also the scene at the beginning of Devon just crouching and crying really exemplifies how this show let's the characters breathe and "be natural" to the audience. Not sure why, it struck me as perfect. I also just noticed the episode lengths. This one is 50 minutes, about what the others have been. Next week's is only 37 minutes.

February 28Feb 28 Author This is the first time they've shown the outies' world to be in any season besides winter. The four people in what I'm calling the photo-negative version of the MDR room - were those the clones we saw during Woe's Hollow?
February 28Feb 28 Now we are digging into what’s really going on. All those rooms are names that Mark has been data mining. We still don’t know how exactly Gemma got to the lower floor. When the cops showed up at marks after Gemma’s “crash”I was expecting one to be Burt Might still be.
February 28Feb 28 Author Another thing about the visuals/lighting - the scene where Mark walks to the door as the cops show up was the first time I recognized the inside of his house. I wasn't even sure it was the same place until then. It's like he's kept it dark and quiet inside since the day she "died."
February 28Feb 28 They are definitely taking elements of Scientology for Lumon in this one. The hot rock e-meter was on the nose.
February 28Feb 28 That was a very well made episode that was also a huge gut punch. So, what did Mark see that he took as Gemma’s dead body?

February 28Feb 28 How many innies does Gemma have and why are they all in a constant state of torture?
February 28Feb 28 How many innies does Gemma have and why are they all in a constant state of torture? Living only to go to the dentist is a literal hell on earth.

My guess is they want to market severance as a way to avoid any pain or trauma for the general population. Fear of flying, fear of the dentist etc. Flip a switch and the processing/procedure is over and you have no memory of the experience. Edited February 28Feb 28 by ChickenSandwich
