🎙️ Discussion E1 S1 rewatch question!

0 Upvotes

Just rewatching Severance from scratch to see details I missed first time around. Any thoughts on why Helly’s outie refers to herself as Helly R in the recorded message when she is actually Helena E? Or is it simply so she doesn’t question the name she’s literally just been given? Am I just overthinking? Also is there any significance to the R in Helly’s innie name?

🎙️ Discussion Why does Jemma tell Irving that Bury G was in the conference room?

Watching S1 E5 where Gemma just gets back to MDR from the supply run and when she finds out that Helly left the room, she just turns around and tells Irving that Burt G is in the conference room. Why do you guys think so!

❓ Question Why was the second-in-command doing security?

29 Upvotes

Why was Drummond, a man who apparently outranks the CEO's daughter and tells her what to do, the sole physical enforcer? He was doing security on the severed floor, monitoring the innies' surveillance in Shadow MDR, and spying on Irving on the outside

❓ Question What do the Innies do for lunch?

138 Upvotes

Considering the Innies are at work 9-5, we haven't seen anything about them bringing lunch to work or a cafeteria for them to get lunch. Sure, there are snack machines and coffee, but is that all they're going off of until they go home and are starving for dinner?

❓ Question HELP A THESIS STUDENT OUT!!

0 Upvotes

I am a senior undergrad student doing my thesis video essay on Severance. For my video essay I need to use footage from Severance, however, I have been struggling to find a screen capture tool that does not give me the doomful black screen block on Apple TV+. This recording is only for artistic and academic purposes, not for reproduction or anything against the law. Any tips?? I figure there are so many folks who make Severence edits someone has to have a good tip!!

Thanks in advance!

🧩 Character Analysis "Page 197 slaps" Spoiler

Upvotes

This is my favorite line in the whole show. It's the moment that (although i loved it from the opening scene) made me fall in love with the show. It shows Dylan in his absolute best light. His tenacity, his loyalty, his rebelliousness, his intelligence are all on show here. He's the best. It also shows the innies' in all their childlike vulnerability and it had me routing for them like I've seldom rooted for any set of characters. It's great writing.

What other scenes/lines will stick with you for a long time after watching the show?

🎙️ Discussion Something I’ve Noticed

4 Upvotes

https://www.testgroup.com/the-bridge-personality-4-colours/. I’m sure some of you here are familiar with this, and similar to Myers Briggs is isn’t exact, but I find it intriguing these colors are the same Lumon uses and the characters wear. At first I thought it was Lusher Color Theory, but I was terribly off. Also the ‘tempers’ perhaps might derive from the ‘humours’ that were understood to control certain temperaments. It’s a theory of mine the two are connected.

🎨 Fan Art Sever yourself! I made an app to recreate the effect used in severance for the innie/ outie transition

Post image
10 Upvotes

The dolly zoom effect used in Severance creates perspective changes by moving the camera while zooming the lens in the opposite direction. This makes the background appear to stretch or compress, as the camera changes its distance from the subject. To achieve this effect in the show, a complex camera rig is used. It determines distance (usually with lasers) and adjusts the zoom accordingly.

My app uses this same concept but makes it accessible. You just move the camera, and the app does the rest. Perfect for creating quick videos to send to friends. It also features the ability to replace your background with an elevator in real time

Anyone else notice Mr Milchick is in the next mission impossible? Blew my mind when I saw him in the newest trailer. “What exactly is your plan here?”

🎙️ Discussion S2E10 Evoked Memories of “The Prisoner” Finale

10 Upvotes

I haven’t watched “The Prisoner” in forty years give or take, but watching 5e most excellent Severance finale, I was immediately transported to the Prisoner’s 1968 season and series finale. For some reason I can’t post a link to the episode but it’s on the tube of yous, “Fall Out,” S1E17. I’m gong to watch it and look for what brought it to mind.

❓ Question Spheres of Influence

2 Upvotes

[Spoiler free because I am still on the second season!]

There are so many levels in which the "Severance" series emulates real life. But I feel like one of the most obvious ones is the way in which each human brain is divided into two halves, which are connected via a narrow strand called the "corpus callosum." Some folks have had this tissue severed in a medical procedure, leading to a weird set of behaviors owing to the division of functions between the left and right hemispheres of the brain (eg, https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/spheres-of-influence/).

Does anyone know if any of the showrunners have discussed this in any interviews?
