Most shows that get too weird make me check out but I'm am so captivated by this show! The face acting alone is insane! Irving, what an incredible character.
At first I thought they were clones too, but now I think they might be animatronic like in the perpetuity wing. Marks other team mentioned their Kiers were animatronic
"...I also feel like Scissor Cave just sounds like a paradise for lesbians." I'm not a woman OR a lesbian, but if there's one thing I know lesbians love...it's caves. 🤣
The actress who played miss wong was actually playing. Learned it for the role.
Nat, I'm pretty sure the term you're looking for in regards to Mark is "goo goo eyes."
Irving is so great. All the main characters get their moments where you feel for them but Irving really goes all in. In the dream sequence Irving is working on the Montauk file which is likely a nod to Eternal Sunshine. Irving’s dreams seem to cross the innie outie barrier in a way we never see with other characters. It may be because he’s an artist. It also might explain how he knew she was an Egan. The Dieter story is super weird. It does remind me of one of my favourite novels, The Baron in the Trees, but also one twin dying and the brother emerging stronger is classical mythology stuff.
Damn you called it! This episode really had me going back and forward on whether or not Helly was Helena but IRVING! Saving the day, like the king he is
I always felt that they made it so obvious that it was Helena, as many people were certain that it was her, and not just speculating and going back and forth on it like Natalie. She was only ever speaking on it as though it was just a possibility. Then once the reveal came was like "i knew it all along!" 🙄
The lumon twins are called, costume and prostetics... They were never close enough to tell the difference
I think that actually added a real uncanny valley feeling to it which helped them look terrifying 😅 like they were copies of them that just came out “wrong”
“Marshmallows are for team players, Dylan.” 😆
Hey Nat, I was curious about how they switched Irv back to his outie in front of them. On a rewatch, I noticed that while Dylan was working on the overtime contingency, one of the operations was LULLABY. I think they put him to sleep, or maybe one of the other operations. At least that makes sense to me. I have very much enjoyed your reactions to Severance.
Ah! That may also explain how Irv (and everyone else except Helena, who just appears on the cliff) woke up out on the ice without his outie knowing that he was sent/moved there.
Happy Monday Nat. Hope you had an awesome weekend too. Enjoyed watching Tremors with you yesterday. That movie is a riot. Old school monster madness. Really looking forward to your reaction for TLOU finale 😊
This episode was such a trip!
Well since you've already seen this episode Nat here are some hints on the past episode why it was always Helena since episode 1 of Season 2. 1) At Episode 1, aside from the Night Gardener comment, what solidified it's Helena was a brief moment when they got back together. When everyone was turning their monitors on, "Helly" had a hard time finding the switch which should have already been familiar to actual Helly. 2) At this episode, if you missed it, the numbers on the monitor during Irv's dream slowly was being replaced by the letters E, A, G, and N which spells EAGAN hence why he knew it was Helena and not Helly. 3) Also at this episode, right when they met at the waterfalls Irving greeted "Helly" with "Hey, Kid" which Helly knows to reply with "What's for dinner?". It's an in-MDR office joke Petey made that became a ritual since season 1. But Helena never knew about it or at least not picked up on it whenever she watched the tapes. The series has chock full of planted hints since Season 1 for Season 2 which is why it's one of the best series to rewatch.
There’s a few subtle hints. It’s Helena who notices there are no cameras in the first episode and you can see she’s trying to lead conversations. I personally didn’t pick it up but it’s incredible on rewatch who sneaky but also conflicted she is. I think her confession that she didn’t like who she was on the outside is probably true.
Hi Nat, loving this show as well but I need to start getting some explanations to WTF is going on 😆 🤣
