SEVERANCE | S2 — Official Trailer

[homely-lunatic]

me: so a lot of people theorized that burt and irving were actually a married couple on the outside and thats why their innies were so immediately drawn to each other, and everyone was a little disappointed this wasnt the case, but I actually think the opportunity for the opposite to happen in season 2 — burt and irving's outies falling in love as a result of their innies' love transcending severance — is infinitely more interesting and thematically relevant. throughout the first season we're shown and even outright told that innies aren't seen as real people, when its evident that they are real people with real experiences and personalities that are separate from their outies. a storyline where two innies fall in love as a mere byproduct of their outies already being in love almost reinforces the idea that innies aren't people, in a sense pushing the idea they're unable to form genuine connections without those connections preexisting for their "real" self. but having two outies fall in love as the result of their innies only goes to show that the experiences these people have while in lumon are just as real and valid and capable of transcending severance and having an impact on their lives outside. its not just a case of "outies are the real people and their innie's experiences are simply a byproduct of theirs" its "outies and innies are both real people sharing a body and their respective experiences have the potential to bleed through in both directions and impact both of their lives" and I think thats just going to be a way better way to take the story in the long run

Severance - Feed the Machine

"I said hey, you, feed the machine Bring 'em all back down to their knees No time to waste, remind the slaves They ain't gonna make it out alive today..."

the work is mysterious and important

i really can't help but wonder if what Helly experienced in the break room is really all that goes down in there. We know when she went in they made her repeat the script over and over, and we also know from how everyone else talked about it that they all experienced more or less the same thing, but Helly's an Eagan. I can't imagine that they'd do anything to harm her physically. It just feels so incredibly ominous to me that out of everyone who's been in there, we've only seen what it a session is like for the person the company wants to harm the least

Famine. Plagues.

Severance was made shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Many things during the pandemic are surreal, and parts of Severance evoke the same feeling.

Employees must wash their hands 10 times a day. Departments are isolated in order to contain pathogens. Soap is just weird.

Everything is so empty. Mark's neighborhood, Baird Creek, "never really filled up," and beside it is a massive graveyard. (On Irving's map of Kier, PE, almost all of the severed employees he marked live right by cemeteries.)

Lumon Industries and Kier Eagan are all about perfecting and curing people and the world. Lumon started as a medical company and still seems to be, at least to some extent. Dentistry, medicine, neurosurgery; they were recruiting pharmacology and psychology college students. Mark and Irving's license plates show Kier's face and, instead of a state name, "remedium hominibus". Latin for "cure for mankind". Lumon wants to "save the world".

Kier was sick as a boy, but healed. Dylan's Eagan bingo cards listed "picture of a boy with rickets"- some part of the Eagan history (or Kier's personal history) included rickets. Illness. Everything at Lumon is about "healing".

There is a lot of weird stuff about food, inside and outside of Lumon. At Devon and Ricken's "dinner" party, they don't eat at all. Patton's "friend in Lima hasn't had a food-based dinner event in-" some significant amount of time. Their guests have discussions about food vs. life. The Kier song that Harmony sings says that he "brings the bounty to the plains".

Dylan's theory might've be a little off, but I honestly think he is very close. "Shit must've gotten pretty bad out there. Famine. Plagues."
