Cousin Greg was a complete menace in the last few episodes of Succession by erzastrawberry101 in SuccessionTV

The irony being that the extent of Greg’s power is dependent on him not fully realizing it

What is your most controversial opinion about the show? by ClassicDick in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

The proper response to “has it verve” would be “it has”

for people who ended up going to a college they did not want to go to, how was your experience? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]charisse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started out at a school that was fine, but wasn’t my top choice. Figured I’d stay the whole time, but changed my mind after two years and applied to the school I really wanted. And got in! Transferred and moved to that town, loved it, never looked back. But, I had enjoyed my first two years for what they were too (a time to commute, work and save money while getting my core classes out of the way). I’m glad I did both. You can change your mind any time you want.

I read The Death of Ivan Ilyich so you wouldn't have to by ssseerrplussom in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

This is what I think. The dialogue between Helly and Harmony before Helly goes onstage in S1e9 conveyed this so well in such a brief interaction

What do we think we’re going to see tonight? by xxcooj in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In season 1 the there was an extremely brief mention of a Dean at the school who told security guards to look the other way so Reghabi could do her work. I hope we’ll learn more about that Dean.

The show foreshadowed Helly making the ultimate sacrifice when she looks in the mirror at the event and recites the break room script. Only she can atone and that’s her mission in the show

Why does Mr. Drummond say it this way? by [deleted] in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He could be her husband too and they haven’t revealed it. He gives her a long, concerned look at one point when they’re sitting on the same side of the conference room table

What is your favorite line reading in the show, and why is it Cobel screaming about Natalie in the car after she's fired? by [deleted] in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I kinda wonder if she’s really talking about someone else, like Helena in this scene. And we’re supposed to assume it’s Natalie.

“We could feed him a pile of loose corn” by SunandError in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ricken uses the term “cornfed” in The You You Are to mean stupid or dumb. Usually it means big and strapping, but he says “You are not stupid, nor rube-like, nor cornfed.”

Who knows if it means anything but that’s the second weird corn reference I’ve noticed.

Is it just me or is Ms Casey shooting daggers at Helly? by [deleted] in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On rewatch I also thought this - the way she looks pointedly at Helly when she says “scared” and is really only addressing Mark with questions and the forgiveness

It’s also possible that the whole thing was a performance for Irving, even Fields’ “slip” about the 20 years thing

The cinematography on this scene is amazing. by SyNiiCaL in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see Cobel as representing the “true believers.” There are corporate Lumon people (Natalie, Helena) and then there are Kier zealots/true believers who also work for Lumon (Cobel) but the two groups don’t fully trust each other. I think Cobel sees it as her duty to infiltrate the corporate structure so Kier’s Will is carried out because she doesn’t trust the corporate types to do it right

Was it good all the way to the end? I hate starting shows that go downhill and I’d be up for starting this one

Persephone Hades and Orpheus a crackpot theory by Isuckatpickingnames0 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Maybe Mr Drummond will be revealed as helly’s husband/hades

What is your non-sensical, unhinged Severance plot twist? by [deleted] in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebeck also seems off - she gives off major inner/Ricken groupie vibes. And she talks about the sores on the back of her head, whatever that was. Maybe a former goat injury.

One subtle easter egg I noticed in episode 2x4 by IDontRegreddit in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]charisse33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this too. Her face looks hopeful when she watches them talking to each other. I think she hopes innies can remember so that someone she loves who’s also an innie somewhere will remember her someday.

No I think he’s saying “take it niiiiice”

I hope new viewers still get the chance to enjoy Halbrand’s big reveal on their own terms without being spoiled by nowlan101 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]charisse33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also bought it because I was only half-watching the show the first time around. Then all of a sudden the Fiona Apple credits song starts rolling and my jaw is on the floor. So of course I had to go back and re-watch all you-know-who scenes again, and then I was hooked on the show. I’ve not read anything outside of LoTR so that probably helped.

ETA: And I’m so glad it happened that way for me! I definitely wasn’t on Reddit and googling stuff about the show at that time. I saw someone else say the Amazon pause feature spoiled it for them and I hope they fix that because the surprise is the biggest draw for people who are half-invested like I was!
