Television Severance (Apple TV) | Spoiler anything that has not been aired, i.e trailer content, BTS stuff

"If you take the title of this _ at face value then yes..yes it does!"
Just like the 'break room'. Such a peaceful place taken at face value .

Prisons have visitation rooms too, the fact you don't know which is which with Milchick is what makes his character.

Such good acting and scripting.

the actor playing Milchick makes you realize how much luck comes into that industry. He hadn’t been in a single show or move I’d even heard of, but after this success he’s now got a part in the next mission impossible
 

Welcome back! Can't believe it's been 5 months since you posted that spoiler. Glad you're feeling better.

Great decision by mods not to allow discussion of non-aired material. Genuinely something I can get behind.
 
A couple of things I'd like some thoughts on that have aired back in season 1.

1. When Cobel realizes its Helly about to give the speech, she threatens that Lumon can hurt the innies physically... I think this has to be BS because the outie would presumably feel the pain as soon as they went up the elevator? And they can't just keep someone down there forever, they are very clear that the work day ends around 5pm.

2. The former lemon surgeon who killed that guy with the baseball bat... I mean, that's cold blooded murder, but nothing seems to have been made of that? Why is it so bad that she is literally killing people? That guys job just seemed to be to escort people to the break room?

For 1. There could be any number of other "protocols" they have in place.
In the security room guide we saw that as well as the "overtime" protocol there was the "Elephant Access" circuit, potentially allowing someone to retain memories from the severed floor - Hello Melchick and Cobel!. There was also the "clean slate cycle" a total memory wipe? and the "branch transfer system" allowing them to bus in "innies" from another site maybe.

This is just 4 protocols taken from a very thick binder of guides. We have also seen cue cards that Dylan swiped had some sort of physical activities that were somehow so important that they had to use the overtime protocol to receive them.

They have explained physical marks / bruising to outies in the form of "notes on the windshield" but I bet these will only be needed for spontaneous events like Helly throwing the speaker at Mark.

The break room mantra of repeated apologies is a sophisticated psychological form of torture that doesn't rely on the usual methods of stress / noise / pain etc. I'm sure they could have come up with a more sophisticated way of inflicting physical pain on innies without physical signs than just hitting them with phone books.
