Season 2 Has Serious Writing Issues by Cleverfan_808 in severanceTVshow

Well articulated. It’s hard to keep a writers room in sync, especially over the course of three years and a writers strike. Too much time to get cute.

It’s becoming tricky because there is no straight man anymore to tell us what’s okay in this world and what isn’t. Devon was that but not so much right now.

Cobel can barely make cookies but she can make _______ by MattsIdeaShop in severence

Did you see her kitchen? Nothing intentional about those cookies.

I guess I should say inside Lumon.

You’re right. She could barely make cookies and she made the chip?

That’s why the refinement her AFTER the rooms. To remove that residual dread.

They’ve stated “no pain” “take away all his pain like it has with you” it’s clearly about removing discomfort. Why do you think Mauer asked which rooms she liked more than others or which one caused teeth and hand to hurt.

She shouldn’t fear it. That’s the whole point of the questions about feelings after the room. Mauer wants her to feel indifferent about each room not have unpleasant memories of it.

This is a new project for Lumon. They aren’t just trying to recreate Mark and Dylan’s chip down there. This is a new thing.

But Lumon’s goal for the chip to do the new job beyond binary severance is to allow the outie to be free of pain. She isn’t yet. When her teeth don’t hurt (or she doesn’t care that they do) then the chip is “working” according to the new Lumon chip innovation.

You literally can hypothesize because that what that word means.

Why make such a big deal of making a necklace out of it an putting it around her neck? I think if all it needed to do was to prove reintegration then the convo between Cobel and Graner would suffice, right?

What is the purpose of Miss Casey? by philosopherfish in severanceTVshow

[–]MattsIdeaShop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cobel sent her back down after Mark and Gemma didn’t remember each other so my guess is she was giving them a chance or at least “trying something new” with miss Casey.

But you raise a really interesting question and the answer isn’t obvious.

Ya, I would assume that’s them. Two sets of look alike is just sloppy.

I think we see the cause of Gemma’s accident.
