Really enjoying this season so far. It seems cobel wasnt able to disclose anything to mark but im not sure if thats nda or because she was a part of the atrocity and couldnt own up. She looked like she really wanted to tell him and was contemplating it or was unsure how to even explain it.

I wonder if she broke nda by so obviously (accidentally) admitting gemma is involved at all.

so so good, among everything else that was covered I had my suspicions about the timeline and I’m glad they addressed that so early in the season

also the new S2 title sequence is AMAZING

My god, is this peak TV. All dreams I've had for this season were fulfilled in the first two episodes.

I thoroughly enjoyed season 2 of Squid Game, but season 2 of Severance is on another level so far.

Agreed. Also, the cinematography in s2e2 was out of this world. I almost couldn't pay attention to the plot because I kept thinking "holy fuck, ther framing and lighting of this scene is amazing!" Definitely an inspired work.

Popular theories are getting more evidence. Mark's work on Gemma is crucial to Lumon and also to Harmony. Helena's lift didn't beep, so it indicate's she didn't switch to Helly.

Harmony might work against Lumon, but they would be foolish not to take some precautions.

In next episode we will finally see og squad doing mysterious and important things.

Could you elaborate on some of the popular theories? I haven't payed that much attention to theories, and no one I know irl are watching the show

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

Latest one is that Helly in previous episode was actually Helena.

Harmony has personal interest in Gemma/Ms Casey experiment, she may want to bring back loved one (her mother?) from dead, like it is potentially being done with Gemma. That's why she insisted to remain on severed floor.
