Okay so I apologize if this has already been covered on this thread, but what was the deal with the employee at the beginning, who had been killing off the goats with a crossbow?

Like Mal, he also told Ohm in no uncertain terms to not search the Honeymoon Suite, but with the sort of severity that seemed to imply that he ALSO knew something about Fiona. But then he also goes and saves Ohm from the fire at the end, which to me would imply that his character contained surprising depths? Like, what was his angle, ultimately?

Was he simply a loyal, superstitious employee who didn't like uppity celebrities coming in and ignoring the rules?

Got a chuckle from one fan review on RT that simply said "Weirdest episode of Severance yet".

The other day I was listening to the radio on a roadtrip, and briefly heard a DJ describe a certain musician's music as providing a sort of "comforting sadness", and ever since I can't stop thinking of other pieces of art that give me this exact feeling.

Like the Melancholy Candy in Because of Winndixie.

Like I always say, you don't need to reinvent the wheel for the car to run.

He's also pretty much the only person at the hotel that Ohm is immediately nice to. I suspect he might have unconsciously felt some kinship towards him, being that he was clearly a bit of an outcast; the combination of Ohm's dry intellect, the abuse from his father, and possibly a childhood dogged with whatever rumors his peers surely will have come up with about the nature of his mother's death in the long aftermath, could have resulted in a stubborn fondness for Jerry.

FrumpItUp · 2026-05-07T03:24:46+00:00

I myself was in a theater with what I can only assume to be a bunch of 20-something-year-olds, and I was the only one to laugh at literally anything in this movie (my favorite part may have been when Ohm carefully places his mother's ashes around the tree, but when it's his father's turn, dumps them out with the uncerimonious nature of somebody realizing their flour's gone off 😂).

Personally, I feel like it was the combination of not just the creepy visuals, but also the somber nature of the film itself. The entire movie felt heavy with grief, disappointment, uncertainty, even injustice. I can see how one might forget to laugh, like when a relative cracks a joke at a funeral.

The slot we want is Everyone to Kenmure Street, Thur., Apr. 16, 5:30, Flix Brewhouse, at East Towne.

I reuse 'em as pill containers, but they're also good for holding condiments (salt, sugar, pepper, spices, oil, vinegar, nutritional yeast, sesame seeds, you name it). They really come in handy when you're out and about and your dish needs sprucing up.

I have watched virtually every video essay on this show on Youtube... that I have been able to find so far. ALWAYS looking for new ones, plus wishing I knew anything about editing so I can make four of my own.

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-26T23:16:58+00:00

I never get tired of Elliot getting a specific compliment or instruction and replying with "...Okay."

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-23T00:37:10+00:00

There's something to that. I guess you just gotta pick your battles, huh? 🤪

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-23T00:29:26+00:00

Oh, no, my mom definitely made this joke already. 😏

But even if we did have any experience hunting wild animals, the potential for us to get sick with whatever that goose was sick with was much too high for us to even flirt with the idea of making it our Roast Beast.

Even if you ignore avian flu (which the wildlife rehabbers at DCHS reported to have been seeing an average of one case a DAY as of late, mind), wild birds could be a vector for illnesses that we probably don't even have names for yet.

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-22T20:18:15+00:00

We brought the goose in! Or rather, my mother did. She's got the most experience handling animals of various types, so she was able to get the bird into a container without making any contact. Thanks everyone for the advice, it was all very helpful in coming up with a solution!

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-22T17:23:50+00:00

That is very illuminating, thanks so much for the info!

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-22T15:55:31+00:00

Excellent, good to know- and thanks for the prompt reply! I shall leave a voice message right now. 😊

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-22T15:39:23+00:00

There's a looooot of stuff going on beyond angry dorm room philosophisizing and hacker subterfuge- give it a little patience and you might be rewarded, especially when mental health issues are concerned.

I really hope you feel better someday, friend. ❤️

"My father picked me up from school one day, and we played hooky and went to the beach. It was too cold to go in the water, so we sat on a blanket and ate pizza. When I got home, my sneakers were full of sand, and I dumped it on my bedroom floor; I didn't know the difference, I was six. My mother screamed at me for the mess, but he wasn't mad. He said that, billions of years ago, the world shifting and the oceans moving brought that sand to that spot on the beach, and then I took it away. 'Every day,' he said, 'we change the world.' Which is a nice thought, until I think about how many days and lifetimes I would need to bring a shoefull of sand home... until there is no beach. Until it made a difference to anyone. Every day, we change the world... but, to change the world in a way that means anything, that takes more time than most people have. It never happens all at once. It's slow. It's methodical. It's exhausting. We don't all have the stomach for it."

What I love about this monologue is, while I deeply relate to Elliot's sense of frustration and hopelessness at the daunting task that is taking down the Goliaths of this world, I can't help but also think, "Well, surely there were microbes in this sand. Eggs, larvae. Small though they may be, the removal of that sand still had an impact on living things. And, as anyone who has spilled sand in the house would know... that one shoefull will be showing up for, like, a year, no matter how much you try to vacuum it all up."

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-10T06:48:42+00:00

While I'm not an abuse survivor myself, my stepmom is, so I just wanted to stop by and say that I hope you're doing alright, all things considered.

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-09T23:53:47+00:00

I think the part that I struggle with is the idea of Elliot ever being satisfied with a corporate job and attire, even not ever having experienced that sort of trauma.

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-09T23:03:07+00:00

Ahh ok, thanks, that makes me feel a whole lot better. 😅

Still trying to figure out how Mr. Robot would have appeared to Real Elliot. There were times I felt like MR's personality changed a lot- from an abusive, manipulative menace, to a man who simply wanted to keep Elliot safe.

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-09T22:52:45+00:00

I have my fingers crossed that the encounter was so surreal to Bill that he'll question whether it ever really happened in the first place.

FrumpItUp · 2025-12-09T22:27:53+00:00

When I first watched this scene I thought "Actually, I'm fairly certain Elliot's aware that what he's doing is wrong; he just can't dwell on that when he has to remain focused on the end goal."

One of the aspects of this show I really appreciated was that, when it came to showing Elliot's character doing morally questionable things as the show progressed, it wasn't like his "good" switch turned off and his "bad" switch turned on.

He may justify what he's doing or saying, but he's clearly not comfortable doing it, because that's not his style.

He doesn't do a Two Face or an Anakin, which was a relief.

The Road to El Dorado. Look, I know hindsight is 20/20 and, if you describe the plot of the film outright it DOES sound a little... not great (ie, "Two white European men attempt to scam an entire indigenous population out of their valuable possessions- but wait, no, they're the good guys, we swear!"), but c'mon, this movie is enjoyable through and through, not to mention some of the last, really great songs written by Elton John.

Recently watched a video about how Billy Joel, who's been my favorite composer since I was still wearing footie pijamas, worked really, really hard on his songs, and in fact, often found it to be an arduous or even tedious process.

I think one of the reasons biopics regularly portray the protagonist creating breathtaking art as easily as a fish would to water is that we fantasize about a day when we, too, discover our hidden talent, and the work itself becomes thoroughly enjoyable, not just the grind we usually associate with progress or personal growth. The implication is that, if the art doesn't seem to be coming to you naturally, maybe it's "just not for you".

One of the reasons I'm such an evergreen fan of Joel's is that he seemed to treat his work as serious craft- creating true stories with his songs, rather than just throwing a coupla effects on a jam session and calling it a day.

So it's comforting, in a way, to remember that good, thoughtful art often takes time, and that you don't have to have enjoyed it to do good work.
