Maybe Severance started with forgetting, like when working in the ‘ether mines’ workers of the early times would forget what had happened and how long they worked. They would also return to work because they were addicted. This seemed felicitous to the company managers and they have worked on ways to improve on this, eventually hitting upon the current severing chip.

We don’t know a lot about the family, the makeup of the current family, or what they actually believe. ‘Father’ certainly seems to communicate with and rely on Drummond, not Helena.

It is not just that, though. There is pressure to not take time off and inconvenience others. It is a work culture. If you want to get ahead your work should be your priority.

I do see that if a reboot was submitted, then withdrawn and the reboot made under a different name…this is different than someone simply making a show set in an ER and Chrichton’s estate could have a case.

https://atoday.org/the-kelloggs-the-battling-brothers-of-battle-creek/ i have a feeling this story is a lot of the inspiration for Severance. Or at least for the Eagans. That cornflakes were once believed to be antimastubatory and that one of the kelloggs ( I can’t find a reference but it is at least a myth, because I’ve heard it more than once) believed that eating cornflakes and following a goat around and drinking from her udder was a way to health…well, it explains the goats. And maybe Dieter.

Speculation thread

My theory is that Alexandra is going to rescue one of Dalton’s group and cause a political stir, thus giving her a storyline outside of the ‘spencer’s accessory’ story. Maybe she will befriend someone in steerage who ends up being one of his women.

To be clear I did go back and look at the conversation in Pips. I did remember it was Drummond and believe I was more interested in Devon’s reactions during the 2 seconds they showed the ‘frolic’ tattoo. One of the reasons to go on a site like this is to discover other perspectives and notice bits you may have missed. In my opinion.

Which may be suggestion, like the Salem (Danvers now) witch trials. This is not supernatural. Likewise drugs (say gas, mercury poisoning, etc) increasing suggestibility is perfectly natural.

Oh, ai think Dalton is doing fine. I think some things are there to remind us not to look at this with vaseline on our rosy lenses. i liked the talk about how looking for speakeasies takes time. “Whiskey”. Poor cougar, why would it go there? Something wrong with her. Why wout stupid Elizabeth go outside? Good thing someone is a crack shot. i like Spencer better without Alex.

I know someone who was tested for adhd. The test is long, like 12 hours. Long. Definitive diagnosis. That aside there are other possible reasons for outie Dylan’s behavior. So who knows. For all we know Burt might have invented Severance, or tried to stop it from being used. I honestly believe his romance with Irving was pure. I wonder if they fell in love twice, in fact? While severed! My Lumon suspicions are on Fields. Will see if I’m right! Meanwhile….where is Mrs Cobel?

True blood is my favorite and absolutely described rhe premise of the show.

Yes the one day format has made Santos the victim of superbad character developement. This happens with the others as well. The woman who is probably autistic like her sister, just finds the perfect patient and …even the pregnancy, miscarriage thing should have played out over days. The one guy should have been soaked with noxious fluids over his first weeks. It really isn’t working. The cases are good but the characters aren’t being served.

There were Carrie and Pet cemetery remakes? Seriously, folks, I’ll see myself out. No, I actually remember the ‘Carrie’ one. Never saw it. I assume it is available to buy or stream uncut, should anyone care? People who are desperate to see boobies will know the limitations on the site and go to another, and there are others. Not that I care if my theoretical toddlers see breasts. but this isn’t really in the same class with hate speech and disinformation. Children dying because a site is their parent’s main source of information in vaccinations and it is loudly screaming that vaccinations are bad things, that is a whole other issue.

All four of the team have sad lives, even Helly was probably desperate to not be the fetid maggot of the family.

Or the symptoms of adhd can be indistinguishable from thise of many trauma victims. We are jerry springerifying a couple of meetinfs between gretchen and idylan and then dr philling the poor guy. The innies don’t have baggage. Like kids. Gretchen is tenderhearted and responds to childlike Dylan. He is her husband, she also responds sexually. When does she have time in outie life? But it is uncomfortable. It is and isn’t cheating.

Yeah, the trope is ‘science fiction rape’, or so I have heard it called. But that isn’t the point. It was sex without consent. Consent isn’t clean cut. This is, though, because Helena knew she wasn’t Helly and knew Mark thought she was.

Okay I don’t remember much.

It may be that the refning group is actually the whole focus of the severance program. It is at minimum a really vital experiment. I’m theorizing, in bringing the dead back to life. I really suspect ‘the board’ is deceased. Even if not, drummond clearly has oversight o er this particular program.Helena does not, she probably does not have an actual job in the company (except for Helly). It is an unusual circumstance. Also she is obviously bearing the brunt of the stress in the family. InnieD may remind her of why she fell in love with Dylan in the first place.

The one show, one hour idea sounds good in theory, but there are too many extreme emergencies and everyone has only been there four or five hours, but it seems longer to us. Maybe to them, as well.

https://www.tibetanbuddhistencyclopedia.com/en/index.php/Chikhai_Bardo:_The_Primordial_(Clear_Light)_and_the_Awareness-Body In this state, the person temporarily experiences for the first time the state of awareness without a second, that is to say, a state of pure consciousness. This is the state of non-duality. The first experience here is the sight of the Primordial Clear Light or the "Clear Light of Reality." This is the pure mind of the Buddha, Christ, and all the perfected saints and mystics. ————— this seems to explain it better than the first, but it is a confusing concept. I think. Anyway, Mark is in for some shit.

I just saw an ad selling new vhs tapes. Lord knows why, but maybe an attempt to make them a thing, like vinyl.

https://tibetanbuddhistencyclopedia.com/en/index.php?title=Chikhai_Bardo:_The_Intermediate_state_of_the_Time_of_Death Chikhai Bardo: The Intermediate state of the Time of Death The intermediate state of the time of death or the Chikhai bardo as it is called in the Tibetan text, is the first of the three intermediate states that the consciousness experiences according to the text in the great liberation by hearing. The Buddhist lamas believe that this first intermediate state has crucial importance because the consciousness at this point is free of all the basic constituents of its physical and metal forms and based on the text, if the consciousness listens carefully to the lama’s guidelines, describing the true nature of the consciousness’ inner radiant truth, then liberation can be attainedimmediately without falling into the next two intermediate states or the next bardoexperiences. This is the point at the moment of death, where the lamaactually starts to recite the text from the sacred book and based on the lama’s words the consciousness can perceivethe naked awareness and thus achieve liberation.

If I remember they considered it, but Claire didn’t want someone who was getting badly hurt all the time. It is a massive pairing in fanfiction.

Talking to myself here but apparently the full name of the restaurant translates to “grand father” and “fu” means “father”.
