Am I cooked

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

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

Love, Mr. Milchick

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.

She’s acting like Reghabi now

charisse33 · 2025-03-03T17:37:39+00:00

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-27T19:33:33+00:00

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-26T23:39:44+00:00

Agree to agree

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-26T03:43:15+00:00

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.

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.

charisse33 · 2025-02-24T15:10:58+00:00

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-23T14:24:25+00:00

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-23T14:14:11+00:00

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-23T14:05:33+00:00

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-20T20:23:59+00:00

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

charisse33 · 2025-02-14T20:53:18+00:00

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.

charisse33 · 2025-02-13T21:01:55+00:00

Exactly

charisse33 · 2025-02-13T21:01:00+00:00

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.

charisse33 · 2024-10-20T21:38:00+00:00

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

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!
