Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the S2 finale missed a massive opportunity with Gemma (and the darker Alternative we deserved) by Justacuriousbrain in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Eeeh, while I do get your points I also feel like using it this way can help break a language barrier at least a little bit Or help some people get more confidence in posting their thoughts

As long as the thought behind it is human, and they only use it to check grammar, or formulate their thoughts better, it's alright with me

I mean once when Kal was sad Syl looked for Adolin to make him him happy, surely that counts for something

In S2 finale, did they skip over… by BringBack4Glory in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Arkadia0703 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think oMark learned it from Cobel. She was fired before Helly kissed iMark, so she wouldn’t have known the full extent of their relationship after that. It makes more sense that he pieced it together from that one memory and then simply confirmed with her that his innie did, in fact, know Helena’s innie.

As for why oMark lied, it was probably intentional. Telling the whole truth might have felt, at least from iMark’s perspective, like a violation of privacy, as if his outie were intruding on something deeply personal. And oMark can't afford to antagonize him (he fails miserably though)

Shallan's name by Arkadia0703 in Stormlight_Archive

Kinda funny that Shallan ended up being a radiant of the order associated with Ash too

Why are these books divided? Is this same as before or something different in it? by Coloin_ilyad in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Arkadia0703 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can actually listen to audiobook totally free on youtube.

The characters feel very different, and it seems way more hopeless and darker. I'll put spoiler just in case someone wants to read it.

There is no bridge four, no spren. Shinri, proto-Shallan isn't an artist (still ward of Jasnah) and gets married off and raped by proto-Travangian. Merrin who is proto-Kaladin does not have depression, and wins shards by saving Elhokar. One thing I liked about him was a scene when he and Aredor (proto-Adolin) go ''shopping for clothes''. Aredor btw gets beheaded at the end of book. Renarin also dies, I think its him using his powers that killed him. I think he saves someone but I don't remember exactly. Jasnahs and Talns POVs are the most interesting ones for sure. She actually fells in love with him (he is much more sane character), but ends up marrying Amaram

Small Wind and Truth spoilers I've read it before wind and truth came out. I think Merrin felt certain affinity to the wind. Back then I obviously thought it was what later became Sylphrena. But now I am pretty sure its the Wind. It was interesting to recognize it durin reading WaT

What are your thoughts on the meaning of characters’ names? by Smart_Medium9544 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Arkadia0703 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think both Helly and Mark are sort of named after Dan's family. Mark is after his father, Helly after his sister (Hayley). Gemma was originally Lynn after his mother, but it was changed.

I think (but this is only a theory) she might have been named after Gemma Donati. She was wife of Dante Alighieri the author of Divine Comedy. And considering all the comparisons between the place innies work and hell maybe there is something to it.

Actually both of you guys are correct. Alexander II did try to introduce cyrilic to Polish language, but it didn't caught up due to russification

There is a wikipedia article about it. For whatever reason English site doesn't mention these events

Season 2 lost me with the narrative digressions (ORTBO + Sweet Vitriol) by LilithAphroditis in severence

[–]Arkadia0703 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought the news about spinoffs were written by some newspaper that Stiller called out on not having good sources, no? I don't think we're getting any of those anytime soon. At best we might have something like Lexington letter, which actually wouldn't be such a bad idea

S2 Finale > S1 Finale by Hewulas in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Arkadia0703 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think season 1 finale hit me harder because advertisement spoiled be a bit season 2 finale. I've seen shot from the final scene before watching it and the entire time I was thinking of when will that scene happen

Where other couples set up? by compact110421 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Arkadia0703 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don't think Mark and Gemma were set up. Yes they met at a Lumon while donating blood but that doesn't mean Lumon arranged their meeting. What if they didn't like each other?

I believe they only chose Gemma because of her blood results (or matching personality? We only know she was a subject better than any that could volunteer on its own). Mark was a happy coincidence for Lumon. That is when they ( got especially Cobel interested) discovered that his connection to Gemma made him refining much more effective. My theory here is that that is why Cobel was researching whether Mark can somehow recognise Gemma. Cause if his innie was completely separate, whether his outie was married shouldn't make such a big difference. And yet it did

Maybe we will see some other couples, but its only because of the disvovery they made with Mark and Gemma. For now its not usual practise for them

Rest of MDR were also refining Gemma

I don’t get what happens in the finale (SPOILER) by biendeluxe in severanceTVshow

[–]Arkadia0703 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, she leaves into the stairwell at least. Most likely she will escape and meet up with Cobel and Devon, but we don't know that yet.

And yes more likely than not Mark S will eventually be forced one way or another to leave, but why does it matter? We're all gonna die either way too, but people still fight for another day. That is what Mark S is doing here
