#Mark needs to to stop

[sorrydetka]

mark’s love for gemma didn’t transcend severance because he didn’t want it to. he underwent the procedure to forget about her for half of his life, out of emotional convenience, and that’s exactly what happened. ms casey was drawn to him, gemma’s final innie trusted him. but innie mark only had empathy for her and nothing more. he wanted to reap the emotional and financial rewards of innie mark with no repercussions, but he didn’t realize, or didn’t care, that what innie mark puts in, he can’t take out. his connection with helly and helena cannot be shaken, because that’s him. because that’s the consequence of his decision. and that’s the beauty of mark and gemma’s love story in my opinion, how love no matter how grand and fulfilling sometimes just isn’t enough, and how you and capital undoes it. and now you’re in love with someone else, who is half of your life, more than gemma, and you have no one to blame but yourself. why should he suffer no consequences, not just because “oh they’ve suffered so much” but in terms of story? what are the stakes? where is his character development? he can’t go back to the same life he had with gemma they are no longer the same people. innie mark’s decision is just as much his own. gemma knows that and she won’t forget it. and she shouldn’t.

Codependency. Co. Dependency. It's one of those big, confusing words floating around that you don't even pay attention to. Until it happens to you. And at first it sounds great, you know? You love someone and you need someone so much that you can't properly function without them? Uh, yes, please!

I love that both versions of Mark hinge their entire plan on ‘the other me will know what to do’

Oh wow a black woman being created as a disposible placeholder for a white woman. I've never seen that before. Oh wait...

Ah yes, the "disposable black girlfriend trope"

Things we've learnt from the latest episode

Lumon used religious propaganda to ensnare people into becoming severed.

Mr. Milkshake is now punishing himself to remedy his "shortcomings" listed in the performance review.

Lumon's strategy of working their severed floor, specifically MDR is keeping them overworked, overstressed, just on edge, so that they are easier to manipulate and intimidate. Ms. Cobel's insanity, at least part of it, makes sense now.

We still don't know what the hell is wrong with her though

Dylan's wife is having an affair with his innie, I don't even know where to begin with this mess so I will leave it as such.

Innie [Irv and Burt] are in heaven together, eventhough Burt became severed to be in paradise in the afterlife with Fields. Fields looks as though he's not far from a crash out.

Burt is definitely in leagues with the Eagans and is not to be trusted.

Devon cannot leave Mark alone for a second or else he's getting open brain surgery

Devon is bisexual. Icon, you would love Helly R.

Janeway crashing on Tuvok's couch post Voyager is a funny idea to me because make no mistake, she COULD just get another house in the no-money Earth future or stay with her own family but I think what she really needs is to just bounce between her new Admiral's office and Tuvok's guest room for a few months so she never has to think about her own personal life and she and Tuvok can talk about how fine they are and how unnecessary everyone's worry about them is while they're both very clearly going through something. Bonus points if this is latter mirrored by Tuvok staying at Janeway's place a bit later on and Janeway doesn't even know why and doesn't quite know how to broach the subject with Tuvok because they don't usually talk about that sort of thing and neither wants to change that part of their relationship because it's one of the few things that hasn't changed and that's comforting so she takes him on some maybe not totally official mission with her instead and it goes sideways and everyone gets mad at them. There's no real resolution to this, every planet just keeps spinning.
