I don't know where they're going with Mark's wife being Ms. Casey, or how they're going to write around the ending to get us back with the innies. Like why would Helly E. return to the severed floor? Why wouldn't Mark and Dylan get fired?

I'm refusing to react but would peruse an article link to said news.

This is the only drama that I have hope for. Really enjoyed the first season.

>>198532721
I'm still surprised how much pessimism there is on this board from people who actually enjoyed the first season. This should be three seasons maximum, at least give them a chance to put season 2 out.

This show is like crack for midwits.

I think they went too quickly for the reveals. Honestly I don't care that much about the overarching conspiracy, I wish we stayed longer inside the offices.

it is a one and done series

Best show I've seen in while. Adam Scott has to be in the top 5 underrated actors working today (along with Walter Ghoul Goggins) and Patricia Arquette was actually competent for the first time. If you've ever worked for a soulless corporation you'd appreciate the tone of the writing in the show

if they had known what to do with it, they would have realized they needed to get it done in 1 season if they wanted it to be actually satisfying and not just a bunch of stalling.

I'm just really scared it's gonna turn out like From and have no fucking answers and just be a disappointing followup to a solid season 1.

I'm, for one, really excited to find out what retarded excuse they are going to come up with to not terminate the entire bunch after the finale stunt.

>>198535890
in fairness there were about 6 months of strikes in that period.

I still don't believe it will ever be released. Higher ups will block it for being too kino.

>>198535949
They just wipe the innies. They just pretend Helly "exposing" Lumon at the conference was just a prank. Helen takes over since the Innies lost control, she gets back on stage and says "haha fooled ya".

There's probably a setting for "Give the Outties the memories of the Innies while maintaining the Outties as the dominant personality" that Milicheck hits so the Outties know what the Innies did.

>>198536834
>They just pretend Helly "exposing" Lumon at the conference was just a prank. Helen takes over since the Innies lost control, she gets back on stage and says "haha fooled ya".
This bait-and-switch backpedaling would almost be enough to get me to stop watching.

>>198535949
The actual excuse doesn't matter but I'm guessing the procedure is prohibitively expensive and hard to recruit for now with the growing protests and popular opinion of how creepy it is.

>>198535949
They need their innie data for whatever Lumon's plan is. They probably just lock down MDR further and the plot is the outies breaking in instead.

>>198536898
It's bait-and-switch to the conference members, but in the story it makes sense. The Innies lost control right at the end of the episode, so regular, Outtie Helly takes over while at the conference after being tackled off the stage by Cobel.

Keep up faggot.

>>198537077
Outtie Helen*

Helen is the Outtie, Helly is the Innie. Helen regains control, Cobel tells her the Innies took control, Helen shakes it off and takes over the conference.

After the conference they go on the hunt for the rest of MDR.

>>198537077
>>198537148
I understand that, I'm just saying I just hope they don't just pretend like nothing happen and basically make the events of the last episode mean jack shit.

took you long enough you slowpoke fuckwads

>>198537670
Conference-wise Lumon would have to cover it up. No two-ways about it.

In terms of the Innies breaking out, all Lumon has to do is tell the Outties to just go to work as normal the next day and they’ll sort it out.

People say they preferred the “office mystery” aspect, why would you complain if they go back to that?

I just want progression and hopefully for the series to end on S2. With every new season, the chances it gets cancelled or becomes shit become greater and greater, like playing Russian roulette.

I really dont like you guys. you ruin every good show with your bullshit high standards...LOST and GOT should had lasted longer but you faggots and your rush to judgement.

now here we go again with Severance and FROM let the shows have its mishaps stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room.

>>198537847
Just a red-herring to confuse and scare the Innies.

Lumon intentionally fosters an air of mystery and fear for the Innies, eg. making different paintings of the departmental wars. You really think there's a functional purpose of a man feeding baby goats in a random room?

>>198538043
No, until I saw that Cobell had one along with all her other paraphernalia. Wasn't there goat head demon symbolism in the paintings and the weird waffle orgy too? Is it all just Lumon misdirection?

>>198534923
>Chaos reigns

>>198538146
Half misdirection.
Half Lumon weirdness mirroring Bilderberg group/elite cabal weirdness.

Ben Stiller directed Zoolander, which is also about mind-controlled slaves working for a powerful higher-up. He's probably well versed in all the elite-cabal nonsense.

>>198537930
What are you talking about? Both shows were ruined by stretching too thin and the writers bailing to make Hollywood slop. We didn't kill either show, if anything George RR is more to blame for being the typical writers block old man. Needs to do some coke

There is always a chance, but it really feels like Westworld situation, where someone has a brilliant idea, but then is told to fallow it up.

Another problem is that the great critique of office culture and open sapce cancer can be lost in overarching story, from the hell IT people know into just some s-f show.

Not even gonna bother.
It's clear from season 1 they had no idea what they were doing. They very obviously came up with an outstanding premise, but then the writers didn't know what to do with it.
And the structure of it all was awful. Nothing happens every episode until the final 30 seconds, when something finally does happen JUST to make you tune in to the next episode, where it repeats all over again.

>>198540508
>but then the writers didn't know what to do with it
I have no idea how you can say shit like this after having seen only one season that ended on a cliffhanger.
Some mysteries were resolved. Some mysteries remain. You want them to try to fit everything into one season?

>>198532654

>>198540508
>It's clear from season 1 they had no idea what they were doing
This became really evident from the fact that they were still doing rewrites this year, over 100 days into shooting.

>>198538043
what the fuck do they actually do inside for the corporation? I mean it's a ridicule of worthless departments in a real life corporation I get it, but still in the world we are presented, what the fuck do they do? It makes zero sense

>>198540508
>It's clear from season 1 they had no idea what they were doing
That's usually how shows are made. There are very few actual longer-than-one-season TV shows that come with a concrete end point in mind from one episode.

>>198544485
why didn't they just fly the eagles into lumon industries

>>198544560
>They are literally the same person
The show posits that they're "separate people", since the Innie doesn't have the Outties memories nor does it "live" outside of Lumon.

Technically it is just yourself, but the show pretends it's a separate person, and in Helen's case the Innie actively works against what Helen wants.

This is going to be the classic case of a show that is all set up and fails spectacularly to pay them off. Many such cases (just watched the final episode of Shogun).

>>198544560

The value of google isn't what people search but how people search. The way they search, the things they've been exposed to that made them search, what they do after, etc. You then use that to work backwards to control people.

>>198544783
There was a writer's and screen actor's guild strike while it was being made, so everything got shut down and then needed to be wound back up. I know you want your treats and stamp your feet and demand that they be brought to you now, now now!. But the adults that actually make them sometimes have to priortize more important things, like solidarity with the other workers that make your treats even possible.
