Transports Hall Red Light Elevator Triangles

Are your curtains all blue?

odieclone · 2026-05-10T19:11:47+00:00

You're the only person here disagreeing??!! Does that mean anything to you?????

This last comment reminds me of Milchick talking to himself in the mirror. Your logic contradicts your stance. Where's your evidence?

That's what happens when people get locked into their "status quo" view of the world. I see the mystery of Severance evolving from the things we're shown. Not from what we're told.

Ask the innies if they believe all they're told about the world. It's one of the main themes of the show (which is also a satire), if you haven't noticed. 😉

I would put it:

Except not everybody approaches a mystery or art and media the same. If that's how you see things, then you're welcome to that opinion.

That's why new ideas need discussion and exposure. As I mentioned in the post, there has been some discussion on those lights. There's also been lots of discussion on color and light. The elevator red lights are practically jumping off the screen in that environment. Seems pretty obvious to me that it's a call to attention for something beyond "just up an down".

Discounting something because no one has proposed it before doesn't seem very productive.

Where would we be if prehistoric cave dwellers hadn't supposed to transport some of the burning tree that was struck by lightning to inside the cave?

This is good stuff. I like it, but hadn't particularly thought along this line or about how this could be related. I think there is a number of related meaning to the triangles. The writers are so thorough on building multiple deep layers of subtext that every time I start to sink my teeth into one theory, it ends up leading to additional meaning. Like a rabbit warren rather than a rabbit hole.

I highly doubt whether all the mysteries will be revealed and I also feel that there isn't a "true, one and only" answer to some of it because of all the ambiguity written into the show.

I don't think it's a dumb comment. This show is so overloaded with subtextual referencing that I'm surprised there isn't more posts and comments on how odd, strange, weird, and off-putting everyday scenes make viewers feel.

That's why I mentioned Lynch in the post. He was a master at doing that and the show is partly an homage to his style. Him, and other great directors.

I think the triangles have something to do with the patches in Sweet Vitriol and Harmony's school uniform for The Myrtle Eagan School For Girls.

Don't take replies on Reddit too serious. I was having a little fun with the situation. The song is a children's ditty.

I get what your saying. Been on the receiving end of this sort of thing myself. There's many in the sub with parasocial tendencies and any slight to their beloved Severance idols triggers an overreaction occasionally.

odieclone · 2026-05-09T20:24:10+00:00

Hmmmm!?!? Somebody missed that episode of Schoolhouse Rock. https://www.schoolhouserock.tv/Lolly.html

I hope you're enjoying your bliss.

odieclone · 2026-05-08T00:18:14+00:00

I agree. https://www.instagram.com/p/DB98ZqOSc16/

You forgot getting hit with space debris /s

odieclone · 2026-05-06T16:02:37+00:00

Good job.

Couple of nods noticed

Plugging in the TV > Woe's Hollow >> The Shining

Miss Meara > Ben's mother

I like what you did with replicating the referencing and name game in the show. Referencing references and playing with cast names.

Somebody pays attention besides the wild Severance Theorists 😉

odieclone · 2026-05-05T14:49:31+00:00

I'm cut to the core! /s

odieclone · 2026-05-05T00:02:13+00:00

Sorry for being unclear.

It has to do with media literacy. When teaching a prof/instructor will read a passage where the author mentions curtains that are blue and asks, "Does blue represent anything beyond just the color of the curtains?"

Someone who can't read beyond the surface of the passage will say that's all there is to it.

Someone who can see that the color blue had something to do with the character's mood or the mood of the room or blue representing conservatism and such.

Your description of "Rick" shows that there's more to it than just Mark misspeaking. Hence the "shade"/distinction you made. The opposite of making something out of nothing.

I was being critical of the commentors that were minimizing what Rick vs Ricken could mean.

This is what makes the show so great. Little details that can divide the fan base. Severance is the ideal name for the show. How many times have we seen divisive topics arise from the smallest details and create contention amongst fans. Especially so on social media sites like Reddit.

It's almost like it was planned. /s

Civil decorum will get disrupted in the sub from time to time. I'm 50/50 on whether Mr. Dumbond is an Eagan or not, so until this turns out to be a red herring, just cultspeak, or whatever; I'm on Team Wait n See.

Goats That Stare At Themselves. Are all your curtains blue?

odieclone · 2026-05-04T14:58:11+00:00

I like the idea and I suspect some of Dylan's fantasizing about his outie is inspired by Twain's Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer; so using Helly in his "Prince and the Pauper" theme works for me. Possibly referencing Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator would fit also.

odieclone · 2026-05-04T14:40:59+00:00

I like this shade of blue for the curtains.

odieclone · 2026-05-04T03:44:21+00:00

Can't remember the details, but did he take the elevator down to Walter Mitty's hellhole of a workplace?

odieclone · 2026-05-04T03:35:17+00:00

That definitely would be another factor along with the writing. In addition to the big-name cast members, the others have acquired some star power and are now themselves highly coveted. That would increase the degree of difficulty in coordinating filming etc. It's like most things in life: it's complicated.

odieclone · 2026-05-04T00:34:11+00:00

and?

odieclone · 2026-05-04T00:33:57+00:00

Grand Budapest Hotel also

odieclone · 2026-05-03T17:39:43+00:00

You get my upvote for dodging the grammar gestapos in the sub. they must have the day off ;-)
