arc March 22 Share March 22 LA Times: 'Severance' stars explain Season 2's harrowing finale and the 'love hexagon' (also syndicated on MSN) Quote The Times spoke to Scott, Lower and Lachman on a video call, and Erickson and Stiller in separate calls, to discuss the tense cliffhanger, the classic film that inspired a key moment Alan Sepinwall's recap of the season 2 finale for Rolling Stone: Quote Because ultimately, the series isn’t really about the mythology of the Eagan family, about the weird rituals of the severed floor, about ORTBOs or paintings or goats or street addresses or any of the other details it becomes easy to fixate on. It is about the question of what undergoing severance does to a person, and the impossible, completely unfair situation it creates for the half of that person who didn’t have a say in the process to begin with. Lex Pryor's interview with Tramell Tillman for The Ringer: Quote [Pryor:] I wanted to talk about the scene with those “inclusively recanonicalized” paintings from Episode 3. It’s probably my favorite one this season, in part because I think it subtly reveals something intimate to the character. He gets these borderline blackface paintings from the Lumon board. And he looks at Natalie like “What the fuck are these white folks doing?” and she just does not help him at all. It felt like when you’re in a lily-white space and you spot another one of us—maybe you give them the nod or lock eyes—and they don’t give you anything back. Nothing. The loneliness in that interaction. [Tillman:] You know what I love about that scene is that it’s so ambiguous. And I’m enjoying the conversations that people are having around it and what they’re noticing: that Natalie is influencing how Milchick responds, or that they don’t know how he feels. Some people don’t understand the scene at all. For us to be able to tell this story without painting so much of the narrative into it really leaves it to the audience to interpret. There are a lot of layers in that moment. For the sake of the integrity of the show, I won’t tell you what those layers are, but it’s deep. You are not off the trail from what you are thinking. The Ringer's finale recap: Quote “Cold Harbor,” a propulsive, suspenseful, provocative finale, doesn’t feature a “twist,” per se, like the Season 1 finale’s revelation that Helly R.’s outie is Helena Eagan. But it does feature a reframing of the series we’ve been watching all along—a perspective shift of the sort Severance excels at. Lumon may still be the baddies, but this episode suggests that they aren’t the only ones: Two of the series’ central protagonists suddenly aren’t so sympathetic. The “they” who are using innie Mark could just as easily refer to Cobel’s companions, who are ostensibly on Mark S.’s side: his outie and Devon. “Cold Harbor” makes more evident than ever that the innies are on their own. Their only hope of happiness and survival, it seems, is severed solidarity. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142580-severance-in-the-media/page/2/#findComment-8613617
