no that's Andy Serkis (lol)

sorry to bump this but I had decided to start watching Andor like 2 or 3 days before that trailer dropped so good timing. And while I wasn't really into it first couple of episodes it definitely grabbed me thereafter. Am hyped for Season 2 and doubly so seeing Ben Mendelsohn in the S2 trailer let's gooooo!!

Also resisting the urge to rewatch Rogue One until after S2 is done but maybe I should now anyways... I really forget so much of what happens in it, though I remembered Forrest Whittaker's character at least.

(still not watching Skeleton Crew though sorry Leon & company)

My question is why did they steal Gemma to begin with, it seems like she was with a Lumen owned infertility clinic and they identified her as a candidate for this shit somehow but why?

People have been speculating and I was leaning towards believing it before and now I think I still do (going to spoiler tag this for heavy theorizing/speculation POSSIBLE FUTURE EPISODE SPOILER??) keeping in mind this was episode 7, apparently episode 9's title is "The After Hours", which is a twilight zone episode where the twist is this woman dealing with some weird mysterious circumstances is revealed to be one of a group of store mannequins that come to life, and she'd forgotten that. Implication being that "Gemma" was an innie all along from the very beginning and the car crash was a staged event to get her back under Lumon control.

I change my vote to this especially with the foreshadowing of Gemma being asked in a mudslide would you fear drowning or suffocation more

=(

oh I just took that as sick Lumon fucks being sick, per usual

I mean wow, this episode.

Looking forward to Thursdays even more than before now that Reacher is back, honestly Severance and Reacher are probably my two fav shows of the '20's. Though Reacher has the convenient 3 a.m. drops so can maintain lunchtime Reacher, nighttime Severance delineation.

Mark fucking Scout ravenously using his hand to shovel Chinese food in his mouth inside the damn restaurant. Like, I get he said he was starving, but he's never been portrayed as the type of guy who will abandon basic social norms and eat his food like a damn caveman in public. Plus, we transitioned to him doing that at the END of his meal, which suggests he devoured every bit of it (at least two entrees worth, since the server brought out two fortune cookies) just like that.

rewatched this scene and he's eating with chopsticks in his right hand?? yeah he's using his left hand to scoop more rice into the chopsticks but surely any chopstick novice could appreciate that, I'd probably do the same thing lol...

Man, there was a lot to unpack in that episode.

it felt like nothing happened but also a shitton happened (yes I couldn't hold out and watched Severance while hockey game on other screen)

Bearded guy (i just call him "Orson Welles" at this point, I forget his actual name which was shown in subtitles but I don't think has been said out loud yet) scouring Irving's place and finding the secret stash. Burt secret Lumon history (and I don't like that lingering look at his doorstep!) And uh, I don't know anything about this stuff but did Mark just have a stroke???? The flippancy after going through literal brain surgery makes me so mad, really

Leonhart4 posted...
I also think Mark suspects Helena is on to him, which is why he rushes out of there and tells Reghabi to go through with flooding his chip.

I just took that as anytime Lumon people come around it's suspect as hell (especially when he's out having dinner alone) and the fact she was mentioning his wife, when Milchick also did, was doubly suspect. I might be underestimating that though but what evidence does she have of reintegration other than if he acted a bit differently when he saw Gemma after they had sex? There was no change in his innie's behaviour when she had Glasgow in place and this is the first time she's had a conversation with his outie. Actually I guess we don't know what happened with his innie after the blood pressure reading since we just cut to his outie being with Reghabi so yeah maybe something did happen we didn't see... or the nosebleed was a potential tell too I guess.

The earlier in the series the better. The later you rob him the more likely he is to try to hunt you down and murder you for it.

Disagree, assuming everything occurs as expected he wouldn't know he was robbed until Jack's gang dig up the barrels after telling them there's money in there. Then the question is what Jack and company do with him after seeing a bunch of empty barrels - assuming they either kill him or they take him prisoner in lieu of (or along with?) Jesse, so either way...

And yeah, seconding Snake's post, I feel like saying you know people/places/events would put you on a one-way trajectory to getting tortured for info from a certain former Republican Guard member. And doing anything a little too out of the ordinary might get you Smoke Monster'd.

Then again I have totally forgotten (series ending Lost spoilers) what happens to all the background characters in the end - if they were all unceremoniously killed off or something? Both the 815 backgrounder as well as the 2nd plane's, cant remember any fates other than main characters... I just want to do enough to get in the cathedral at the end, lol

Forgot about episodes coming out on Thursday night again, woops.

Feel kind of dumb after all the predictions and rationalizing after the last episode. Now that we know reintegration is a gradual process rather than a one-time deal, and knowing episode 4 happened in the real world we just need to rationalize, like... the MDR team seeing ghostly apparitions of themselves in the real world, I guess.

also interesting how Cold Harbor has been upgraded from being vaguely important to "one of greatest moments in history" (even if that's more Lumon-style inflated self-importance).

Barret was a go-to party leader for me in both Remake and Rebirth, since you start with a free Overcharge which leads to (with first strike) a 2atb Max Fury. Great for getting a head start on a mob, nobody else can do that much damage that quickly, really. And Tifa was the other part member in both games.

I never really gave Red or Cait any consideration and have to focus more with them on my next playthrough.

Yuffie truly is the best of all worlds though.

Mount Wario and N64 Rainbow Road are also apparently the 4th tracks in their cups, as was 3DS Rainbow Road?!?! Don't have time to fire up my Switch to confirm so I'm hoping this wiki page isn't steering me wrong, that 7/8 of the quarterfinalists were the final track in their respective cups....

one thing that's confusing about (ep 4) the simulation idea, which was also my default assumption, is that it's not clear why milchick would need to spend so much time running to helly/irving, and why they couldn't just pull the plug on irving from above

so all that has me leaning toward... it must be physical? but that's even more nonsensical

I look at it like "the Matrix" where the simulation is a "world with rules" so you can't just teleport and have to run from point A to point B, except i guess this analogy falls apart since apparently you could just "spawn" wherever so he could've tapped out and then back in at Irving's location. In which case the answer would be, he didn't do it so the episode would happen & we'd be left in this state of mystery. Which would also be why they didn't pull the plug on Irving. Or maybe pulling the plug would still leave his body without his innie mind in this virtual world which would keep drowning Helly (and not stop once she got Glasgow'd?) Man I am just dying for this next episode and at this point I'm just afraid they're going to 10x the blueballing by not referencing neither episode 3 nor 4's endings, lol
