I took it as the goat will be buried with Gemma and lead her spirit to Kier "will be entombed with a cherished woman"

2025-07-10 18:13:26 +0000 UTCGoing through the door, he either dies or outie Mark reintegrates and I feel like reintegration isn't that good of a thing for Innie Mark. From his perspective, it's an existential threat. What is it gonna be like after reintegrating? They're gonna become like one person? But what about Helly? He would not be in love with two people (and even he would, how would that work?!). And also, what about Dylan? What about Irving? What about every other innie on the Severed floor? If you think about it, even if reintegration works, Innie Mark is dead. He's not gonna have his own life (none compared to the little he already has) anymore. He will be gone and that's gotta be extremely terrifying to him. Even if there is a plan, we have to understand Innie Mark doesn't have all the information. To him, it REALLY is life or death (which practically is). He chooses to stay with Helly (who also is terrified of what's gonna happen to them) because it may very well be the last choice he ever gets to make. So going through the door, he's either dead or "dead". He's not making that choice. I wouldn't. Especially for people I barely even know.

2025-07-09 00:03:57 +0000 UTCwhy did lumon create so many innies for Gemma? my guess is that they are trying to monotonize severance. why does a big company do anything, after all? to make money. various characters have said they want everyone to be severed. so with gemma, they are testing the limits. how many innies can one person have, will the negative emotions bleed through to their outie? all of gemma's innies have to do something unpleasant. go to the dentist, write a million thank you notes, air travel in turbulent weather. her cold harbor innie had to do the most horrifying thing of all (in her outie's mind) with the hope from lumon that nothing negative is felt at all. so they can realize the dream of severing everyone on earth, for a price of course, so everyone can have a different innie for every boring or unpleasant task that has to be done in everyday life and thus "end all suffering" in the eyes of lumon. and they will get lots profits for their troubles!

2025-07-08 19:08:21 +0000 UTCOn Apple tv+ there are little behind the scenes segments at the end of most season 2 episodes if you are craving more and dont mind seeing a little of how the pie is baked. I like how iMark sees that reintegration is killing both oMark and iMark and replacing them with rMark, but oMark doesnt see that.

2025-07-08 17:39:07 +0000 UTCI think it's important to emphasize that it's existential at the end. For all iMark knows he walks out that door he essentially dies (he's right imo that oMark will just forget about him once he gets Gemma back). The bigger picture is kind of irrelevant when you're dead, and "taking down Lumon" doesn't save the innies either, as he points out in the cabin. He doesn't want to die, and Helly R doesn't want her best friend to die either. After her speech and getting the band their side, there's hope for a rebellion now. It sucks right now for Gemma, but Helly R and iMark are just as deserving to be together as oMark and Gemma. The innies are people as well. We don't know if John Turturro is back for season 3, but the way he has talked about it recently, probably. I would not expect season 3 before Jan 2027. They should be shooting over this coming winter.
