Severance

i think the people are either people in a coma or in a mental state that they maybe cant use their bodies so it gives them function or its some kind of matrix type theme. the young girl especially has me sorta intrigued as to why she is there.as you wouldnt choose to be there at that age and be severed. whether its through a illness or program i guess we will see. maybe he was in the car accident with his wife..
Is she severed? Milchick isn't, like the other managers.

I can't really remember, isn't she what Milchick was in S1 and as said, he's not severed. I assumed she wasn't.
Not much Macrodata got refined this week. :D
Now I've caught up and can come to this thread, I was thinking to post this myself. Given there are very few people working there, how do they get away with so little work :cry:

2 managers with 4 reports and very little work getting done - aside from the office shagging, are we sure they aren't Civil Service?

even if she isnt why would a kid be there ? this is quite a grown up scenario even serious often with mistakes leading to the 2nd half of the person being killed off. so for a child to be there that has got to be a key to what is going off.

Dunno, hopefully we will find out soon.

Lumon seems like a religious type cult. Likely indoctrinated and put to work. She wants to be there.

Maybe she was created there. They made a huge point of the fact she's a child - also babies in the opening credits. Some cloning type shenanigans? Is severance the first step in cloning the mind? Feels like it's going to be very sinister whatever is really going on.

Yea could be that the “work” the innies are doing are helping some kind of observational learning for cloning.
 
I was wondering if his wife really was in a car crash. And she's now in a coma/vegetative state. But she can be severed and have an innie personality while her outie is effectively kaput.

Also about Miss Huang, I assume a lot about her can probably be learned from Miss Cobel? Didn't she have a bunch of stuff showing that she had clearly been involved with Lumon as a kid, so they obviously have some sort of kids program. I assume Miss Huang is just a younger Cobel. Also it could be that there are humans who are born within the severed floor and it's all they've ever known. Didn't the map Petey leave Mark have houses on it? There could be people permanently living in the severed floors. And it would explain the goats, it's just food/nourishment for the people who live there.

The goats are severed too 1 half human 1 half goat.....
Did you see how crazy those people were? Literally looked like goats acted like goats lol
Isn't 1 of the 4 tempers a goat man? They've literally taken it to the scientific extreme.

I'm really worried that half of this stuff on the journey is just wacky side shoots to keep up the mystery.
I am going to be really peed off if it's about love conquered all and love means your never truly dead blah blah the macro data projects are re building a version of Kier Snr. The founder and some kind of reincarnation/matrix bs.

It could literally be everything or anything the only constant to believe is there is only 1 shared physical body....
5 brain wave forms, I'd say 5 severed personalities wouldn't suprise me.
Maybe 4 the 4 tempers the 4 aspects of 1 bodies mind. 4 or 5 lol
4 employees = 1 person?
I doubt it that deep

The in and out could both quite easily just be 2 layers of severance too....
The outside looks as fake as the inside.

Love the show. Sure I've repeated myself....

Yeh I'm trying not to get too sucked in just incase there's a bit of a let down.

It's like LOST really, well the first few seasons - totally hooked, but then got a bit silly (but was still hooked back in the day!)

I'm fully expecting the season to end with someone taking the lift down to the floor below the severed floor and perhaps revealing another personality similar to the early episodes with helly
 
when you look up how he came up with the show its actually very simple and what most people do with jobs they dont like. you go to work and switch off. then back on when you leave work.
 
Well that was a mind ****! Are we now saying that there not just innies and outies, but a mind can be severed into several?
i think i figured it out. if its this clever then its a 10 out of 10. i just dont think its that deep though. as that would be truly brilliant.

basically its AI. they controlling the AI making them think they are alive in code. lumon is basically a place where the AI are in sorta a maze. each room is a experience to make them think they are alive. at one point one of the " actual " coders says is it holding. so basically keeping the AI code in ! stopping them trying to get out. so looks like is a AI matrix scenario. where we are looking at it from a human side when we should be looking at it from the Ai side. im hoping its this deep as then it becomes more clever and interesting.

also the little girl manager i believe is either simulation or a child of...ms casey. haha gone deep. its that or...they are sick and finding a cure or simulation for people with brain issues or with serious disease.
 
We finally got to see the Dentist from a few episodes ago, what an episode too can't wait to see how next week is now we're into the final stretch.

This has spoilt pretty much any other weekly show I watch due to the pacing and how they keep pushing the story forward instead of milking it and drip feeding little bits.

Did anyone else pick up on Gemma Fills the paperwork at the clinic with her right hand and is writing that card with her left
