Severance
- Thread starter something daft already!!
- Start date
Last nights episode 10/10, I still think there is more to
Burt, than meets the eye. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he wasn't actually working severed at all.
Dylan's perk. Well he's the only employee that we know of allowed a visit from his actual wife. Again part of some manipulation going on.
some mighty VR thing, particularly given the flashes Mark was having between his innie and outie.
IF we are to believe this is all reality. Then she did not die but was taken my Lumon after the crash, severed and put to work per se. I'm sort of in agreement with @Vern1961 that this could be all a simulation as everything is so picturesque. Always Winter, simulated town in a simulated US state. Lumon offices are conjured in an 80s pastiche with every car, when the carpark is full, being exactly the same just alternating colours. Then again, perhaps that is a nested simulation or presentation for the viewer. I do not recall seeing anything which relates to current technology shown in the show. Everything seems mostly analogue or retro. interesting.
There's a modern smartphone in ep5? What's the deal with wrapping everything in spoilers?
Was there? Musta missed it.
But yeah, end of S1, clearly high tech screens as part of the gala or whatever that Egon conference was. Perhaps the viewer is shown both a reality and a simulated version of it and whatever the severed see.
Re spoilers, not sure, a curtsey in case folk have not caught up.
Burt twist - interesting.
Time travel theory - could be what cold harbour is.
I mentioned Matrix/VR a few pages back - the comments above about the car park etc has fuelled that theory.
That office floor looked rough on the knees.
Finally a program that prompts discussion.

Try-hard how, out of interest?
Well, the whole premise of the show is very contrived. Felt like it was just leaning on that as a crutch too much at first "look at this clever plot device we invented". Thankfully it got past that to focus more on the character development.
i dont boast about it. people on here used to take the pee though.
I think it should be 3 or 4 seasons max so that it doesn't outstay its welcome.
yeah its actually nice when a good series does just finish it with a strong ending instead of going through the milk it phase and start doing things like memories episodes and flash backs. i cant see this being a long series tbh the whole show is basically about the whole twist of are they alive dead vr in a simulation. how long can it be drawn out.
I will call out wokeness for the sake of wokeness in shows (Doctor Who i'm looking at YOU!) but i'm not seeing this in Severance.
And i am fully engrossed and don't see it starting to waive at all, although i agree i don't see this lasting many more seasons, maybe 1 possibly 2? I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the secrets - please don't be pants.

The goats will be to Severance what the smoke monster was to Lost. A very cool and unexpected thing in season 1 that they will struggle to fit in (logically) to the rest of their respective shows.
My theory (which I hope isn't right): they have somehow turned sequencing of DNA into the computer tasks that MDR work on. The DNA is from baby goats bred in a certain way and when sequenced correctly will somehow cure cancer and Lumen profits from this. Somehow Severed people with certain trauma excel at the puzzle like Mark with Gemma`s death.

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..
