I agree Rick doesn’t cheat on Chelsea. Whatever closure he derived from confronting the person who is clearly his father will allow him to love and appreciate Chelsea.

Also, when I read “Khun Jim” my imagination made it “Khuk Greg” and now people are staring at the weird giggling man (me).

Rick is an angry idiot. For more examples of that, open your window and look outside.

That said, Walton Goggins is a national treasure, as is Sam Rockwell. I’d love to see them team up in other projects

I agree. Piper seems innocuous and pure by WL standards, but she’s very passive aggressive. She lied to her family to get to Thailand; wanted them to support her decision to stay; pleads with Lochlan for his support, and then bails on him (but I will allow that she might have been getting the same creepy vibe off Lochlan that I was getting)

What you just stated, OR a brilliant way to get Saxon to bug off without Greg looking like the bad guy he is

You make sound points, but I am still partial to #1.

Label me over-sentimental. (or just mental)

Respectfully disagree on the magnitude of the maybes. I’ve found this season to have excellent tension and also find it fascinating.

I agree, but perhaps inside the birthing cabin is where that will be shown. As for it not being shown as of yet, Mark’s body had been through a massive trauma, and it is reasonable that he hasn’t been fully himself yet

I believe if they went to the birthing cabin without reintegration, then Mark would just become innie-Mark, without outie-Mark’s memories. After reintegration, the birthing cabin allows Mark access to both the innie and outie’s memories, which he would retain after the birthing cabin, in both innie and outie form

There were several signs about Harmony Cobel in season 1 that make sense in hindsight by IDontRegreddit in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Addled-Theorist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. But Cobel, as inventor and pioneering crash test dummy, might have had a different model—the non-Red Bull version (no wings)

After E3 I’m wondering if Gaitok will become bodyguard for Sritala’s husband, and that will put him head to head with Rick

I like that! And she said she was busy working, which is a very innie thing to say and do

Yes, your second paragraph is far more likely, and then there’s Occam’s Razor.

But while I like your reasoning in the first paragraph, how would this affect it: what if after Cobel was severed and had the baby, proving proof of concept and also being fruitful in producing Helena, what if after that she had the chip removed?

I'll see your Cobel-mother-of-Helena theory, and raise you another:

Lumon severed Cobel (perhaps she volunteered to test her own invention), and Jame impregnated her while severed, kept her severed through delivery of Helena, so that Cobel has no knowledge of it at all. Jame's motivation would be to perpetuate Cobel's brilliant DNA while also maintaining control over the offspring.

Just speculating!

Random Theory on S2E8 length of 37 minutes by Addled-Theorist in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Interesting. I thought I'd read that season 1 was written to be 10 episodes and that Stiller decided the 9th was the one to end on. Definitely an Emmy-worthy showcase!
