It's also important to clarify that an understanding of the English language would have allowed you to realise they never said it was made by AI. Calvin said "it's like the nasty stuff they do with AI'...which means it is like that thing...not that thing!
You have no idea how happy I am to see that your having 20 minute discussions to this show. Keep it up guys. THIS is why I wanted you to see this show so badly. I want to hear all your thoughts & theories; all your reactions, every step of the way!
Not really, it’s just that there’s nothing new under the sun. if most people actually take the time to make predictions on these things, they’ll figure it out too. It’s just most of us just don’t really care.
@@AsoOrad Yeah, I have noticed that too, whenever there is a group of people, it's easy for the ideas to bounce and come up with a good logical theory. When you are alone, you really just think whatever shit that comes in your head.
@@JenLight tbh i almost forgot about the show and only remembered liking it! So it's like watching it for the first time, kinda like i was severed for two years 😂
I’ve actually seen a lot of other reactors question it. When you’re just getting used to this world and the rules of severance, it’s not something you’d necessarily understand right away.
So a brief history of Macro Data (as far as we know). Irving has been there the longest (as "senior" Macro Data refiner), Petey preceded Mark, and Mark preceded Dylan. If there's always been only four Macro Data refiners, then Dylan most likely replaced Carol D., and Helly replaced Petey. We know Carol D. was allowed to resign, but we don't know why, or how long she was with Macro Data.
@@cannontalksalotor so we’re told. For Carole I do think she just retired. But with Burt I think there’s more to it, maybe they convinced his outtie that it was his idea
@@TheLoonyLovebad1 kinda what i thought too, maybe lumon saw the relationship blooming between burt and irving, which they clearly didn’t like (printing the painting of the fights between o&d and mdr) and forced burt into a early retirement
** patiently waiting for Eric and Aaron to (hopefully) recognize Daisy's mom ** Also, don't worry about the lengths of Severance videos - love your discussions and theorizing!
I agree, if there was any show to have extended discussion after an episode, then Severance would definitely be the series to have them. I'm so happy they're watching this series...now I'm really hoping that they watch the Battlestar Galactica series soon. I hope that since "The Normies" have just started BSG, maybe they'll notice and make a decide to just do it instead of bringing it to another poll.
The Severed or not Severed debate is wild to me, I just assumed selvig was acting because she's an antagonist and she's an ranked above milchick, who clearly never shows a second half as Aaron said
Every reactor has this same discussion, like I don’t think it was meant to be a secret I think they pretty clearly show in episode 1 that she’s not. I’ve seen some reactors even question if milcheck is severed pretty late into the season, even tho this ep we literally see him go back and forth with Helly
Having seen the season for the first time a couple of months ago, the foreshadowing is there for so much…brilliant writing where things make so much sense on second watch
@@JenLightHe's defintely in the 'kick back and have fun' stage of his career. He was just in a BBC show where he was the writers' dream casting: "I mean, that would be wild. He'd never say ye.....OMG HE SAID YES!" 😄
I have watched every single reaction I can and eve the single Channel loves the finale of s 1. You guys have the best breakdowns. In depth and really asking deep questions. You may want to get this done by this week. T minus 5 days and counting!
The wellness scene absolutely hypnotizes me each time I see it. The music that is chosen for that scene is absolutely a spectacular choice. It's sends me literally to outer space. What a beautiful soundtrack, and both Turtoro and Lachman acted the scene really well. This season was god tier, and it's so much fun re-watching it now with all of you guys. Can't wait for Season 2!
technically not true, AI has been around for a while, but yeah its odd he calls it AI jus because its weird. If anything you can just tell its rendered because of all the weird physics
I watched this pretty close to the air date and I lOVED it, but had no idea what a lot of the smaller details meant. TikTok has been popping off with the insanely well researched and highly convincing theories, and now I’m just scared that the writers aren’t operating on their level. Bc WOW their twists and unravelings of the writers’ hints are probably going to be better than anything they come up with.
6:46 I had an employee do that exact thing to me not long ago. Hey, so and so violated such and such handbook policy. Yes, I'm aware, BUT as department head, as per the policy, I granted them an exception for that one instance, it's not an issue, and it's not your concern, you're not a supervisor. 20 minutes later: Hey, I just wanted to point out again this passage in the handbook (Presents handbook page) about that policy we discussed... Yes, and we you see from paragraph 2 of that section, 'at the discretion of the department head', hey, that's me! But thank you for making sure I was aware... This is the same employee that if you do the same to him, he wants to 'negotiate' and even threaten to call his attorney about whatever policy, he's almost gotten fired for doing that.
The fact that Milchick says to Helly that she "definitely has a family [outside]" is clear indication that he is not severed and doesn't pretend to be, even in front of the MDR team.
New to this show, I’m wondering about the chamomile cookies. Chamomile makes you sleepy, so I’m wondering how that relates. I often use chamomile tea to knock myself out at bedtime.
I'm so here for the long reactions. I've been waiting ages for these videos and want to hear every single theory and tangent! There truly are endless possibilities.
Petey had whats called "Reintegration sickness" that's why he's having those headaches and bleeding. It was something Reghabi warned him about when she reintegrated him and left him with instructions but he's not followed them and that's why he's getting sick

I fail every episode

Your outie is content with videos projected onto a screen, and owns a machine that can download them.
Your outie finds it comforting to watch other humans while they watch the television and film projects that your outie considers great
The intro is not AI. Talented people busted their butt to make the award winning sequence
Also that intro was made long before any publicly available AI could make it. They aren’t understanding how long ago S1 came out 😂
@@Wraiven22tbh I don’t blame them, it’s been so long 😭
Thank you for saying this
They did not say it was AI, they said it was uncanny like AI works
@@universalpower419 Exactly. They never said it was AI.
It's important to clarify that the intro IS NOT AI, it was made by incredibly talented artists
It's also important to clarify that an understanding of the English language would have allowed you to realise they never said it was made by AI. Calvin said "it's like the nasty stuff they do with AI'...which means it is like that thing...not that thing!
I cackled when they totally missed seeing Christopher Walken’s name pop up in the intro so they had a big surprise when he just casually walks in 😂
1 episode closer to defiant jazz
The countdown I care about
Tramell Tillman is the MVP of this show, he flows so effortlessly between being a corny and intimidating.
Also caked the fuck up.
I'm not usually into muscular men but he fine af
He is 50% comforting. 50% unsettling. And 100% attractive as hell. He does SUCH a good job with this role.
The way I don’t know the actor’s name and I instantly knew based on the thirst that it was about Mr. Millchik ❤️
Mr Milthick as YaBoyRoshi calls him 😂😂
he's fine asf and it almost makes him more unsettling
You have no idea how happy I am to see that your having 20 minute discussions to this show.
Keep it up guys. THIS is why I wanted you to see this show so badly.
I want to hear all your thoughts & theories; all your reactions, every step of the way!
honestly one of the best soundtrack drops to the end of a tv episode in history
I love the mystery and all the questions that come with it with this episode! Keep them coming boys!
Tramell Tillman's delivery of "I'm agog..." lives rent free in my head
Right next to the MDE I assume
@@ethanlivemere1162 That lives in my SOUL
Aaron's theories are concerning... should schedule a wellness check to see if he hadn't seen the show before and then forgot
Cuz he is type of wierdo that he prolly checked the spoilers and he pretends hes not, just to sound smart
@grzegorzpajduszewski1452 wtf? Aaron is wrong all the time. He's just picking up on what the show is trying to set up for later.
Not really, it’s just that there’s nothing new under the sun. if most people actually take the time to make predictions on these things, they’ll figure it out too. It’s just most of us just don’t really care.

Dude.......
The weekly wait for the next episode is KILLING ME 😭
not as much as waiting for Jan 17 for season 2 to start.
Have you learned nothing from the last TWO YEARS??
@@JenLight tbh i almost forgot about the show and only remembered liking it! So it's like watching it for the first time, kinda like i was severed for two years 😂
They really nail the awkward atmosphere of starting a new office job. Nothing worse than doing these sorts of exercises, makes you feel so low...
reminds me of university ice breakers too.. yuck 🤣
@ItzDaiz it's the worst isn't it, I still remember when we had to stand up and describe your hobbies
When I first watched this I was advocating for Tramell Tillman(Milchick) to take over as Kang The Conqueror
I’ve never seen anyone question whether the management is severed or not, they make is SO CLEAR that they are NOT.
I’ve actually seen a lot of other reactors question it. When you’re just getting used to this world and the rules of severance, it’s not something you’d necessarily understand right away.
@@Jabberwocky415 not really, it's just most reactors being stupid

probably retired like burt did, his outie was ready to retire
@@cannontalksalotor so we’re told. For Carole I do think she just retired. But with Burt I think there’s more to it, maybe they convinced his outtie that it was his idea
@TheLoonyLovebad1 yeah I agree, I dont think Burt is a simple open closed case (or that we wont be seing more of him)
@@TheLoonyLovebad1 kinda what i thought too, maybe lumon saw the relationship blooming between burt and irving, which they clearly didn’t like (printing the painting of the fights between o&d and mdr) and forced burt into a early retirement
** patiently waiting for Eric and Aaron to (hopefully) recognize Daisy's mom **
Also, don't worry about the lengths of Severance videos - love your discussions and theorizing!
I immediately thought of her character in The 100 even though she's only in 7 episodes of that show. Such a distinctive face.
I was thinking the same thing! Hoping they realize it in a future episode.
I agree, if there was any show to have extended discussion after an episode, then Severance would definitely be the series to have them.
I'm so happy they're watching this series...now I'm really hoping that they watch the Battlestar Galactica series soon.
I hope that since "The Normies" have just started BSG, maybe they'll notice and make a decide to just do it instead of bringing it to another poll.
Yes! Daisy’s mom!
For Eric and Aaron, Ms. Casey is played by the same woman who played Daisy’s mom in Agents of SHIELD.
Oh my god it is. I got through the entire show this week without realising!
@@rextitanshe was also in the Netflix sci fi show altered carbon and had a small role in Jurassic world dominion.
it's great how they use the song daydream in blue in this and mr robot, it's used almost in a similar context too
Split personalities…
The Actor who plays Mr Milcheck is amazing. I’m shocked I haven’t seen him in more films
Edit: I wish Rick were here. Hope he’s doing alright
He's legitimately scarier than most villains or killers I've seen in film and TV. Every time he smiles you kinda shudder. Hope he gets more roles!
He's going to be in the final Mission Impossible movie in a currently unspecified role
@@charlie3627oh damn seriously?? My girlfriend and I just recently watched all 7 films so that’s awesome
Don't care about Rick but I agree with the Milcheck part
@ that’s just rude
The Severed or not Severed debate is wild to me, I just assumed selvig was acting because she's an antagonist and she's an ranked above milchick, who clearly never shows a second half as Aaron said
Yeah, i dont get why this is so hard to grasp 😅
And I thought Selvigs sinister glances on the outside were trying to make it obvious to us.
Every reactor has this same discussion, like I don’t think it was meant to be a secret I think they pretty clearly show in episode 1 that she’s not. I’ve seen some reactors even question if milcheck is severed pretty late into the season, even tho this ep we literally see him go back and forth with Helly
@@randomname4726they were.
Yeah, I don't think it's supposed to be a mystery that they're not severed. It's not a secret to the innies either.
The thing is there's no escape from the depression for Mark because the time while he's at work happens instantly in his head.
Peak cinema every single week is crazy
Having seen the season for the first time a couple of months ago, the foreshadowing is there for so much…brilliant writing where things make so much sense on second watch
I'm so glad you guys missed Walken's name in the opening haha
I love how this show just tosses Walken at you like it ain't a thing
@@JenLightHe's defintely in the 'kick back and have fun' stage of his career.
He was just in a BBC show where he was the writers' dream casting:
"I mean, that would be wild. He'd never say ye.....OMG HE SAID YES!" 😄
Really enjoying re-watching one of my favorite series with you guys, keep those theories coming :)
The conversations that every episode ignites are just so satisfying and joyful to watch. Lol. We have all been there with this show!

You might remember Graner, the big mean security guy, as the actor playing Cousineau in the Barry finale!!
This office building reminds me so much of the game Control. Helly even looks like the main character a bit!
Well now I want to try Control
@GhostInPajamas it's a great game! Will make you feel as confused as watching severence.
Brutalist architecture...hell of an unsettling concept
@@noteliassmith I love it, very liminal space vibe. Makes me wish for a portal TV show some time too.
Never clicked on a video so fast…. Faster than the video from
Last week
this discourse is exactly why Ive wanted this reaction since the show came out
This show is absolutely perfect for your guys' willingness to throw around crazy theories!
I'm just waiting for them to see the end of episode 7
Also Mark's very forgetful and shaky because he's an alcoholic.
I love the theories you are all coming up with
I'm shocked there's an arguement that Milchick and Cobel are severed. My first watch it was fairly obvious that they aren't
The signs of a good show “dang man it’s over??”
It’s not often that Eric TOTALLY misreads the show. It’s blatantly obvious that they aren’t severed. She’s faking miss selvig to spy on mark.
the intro was made before ai calvin
The world has change so much in just 3 years... can you believe the first season ended almost 3 years ago?
I'm getting really tired of people calling anything they don't like, or find weird, AI, tbh.
technically not true, AI has been around for a while, but yeah its odd he calls it AI jus because its weird. If anything you can just tell its rendered because of all the weird physics

Happy New Year fellas🎉🎉
Question!!
How far are they are their Patreon? And what tier do I need to watch full length with early access?
Thank you, in advance
Their top tier goes 4 episodes ahead
These dudes be goofin 😂 but I love y'all watching this show, it's one of my favorite shows of the last couple years
6:46 I had an employee do that exact thing to me not long ago.

She was also in that other 'identity/autonomy splitting' show Dollhouse.

You didn't notice Christopher Walken's name in the credits?
Brain surgery?! Is there anything Calvin doesn't know?
He thinks he knows everything lol
Yeah yeah but usually the brain surgeons do it THIS WAY!!
You guys have to react to “From”, it’s almost like a mix between lost and the haunting of hill house!!
30:59 there you go👀
Really hope you'll react to Silo too 🙏🏻❤️
Season 2 just got verified fresh 100% on rotten tomatoes. I'm hyped for season 2
I look at Torturro and like to think that his character outside the office is an older more obnoxious "The Jesus" from the Big Lebowski.
Shocking enough… The intro is not AI! The process is fascinating to look at it though!
Yeeees! This show is such a ride. I hope the second season doesnt get shanked and sucks
Milchick, more like Milkshake
9:03 “What do the code detectors do?” They raise baby goats, what do you think they do? 🤦♂️
Nothing AI about the opening, not the first time I've heard that, not sure where people are getting that
The animation style is very similar to how some ai video generation looks.
Is wellness lady Daisy Johnson’s mom?
I'm so here for the long reactions. I've been waiting ages for these videos and want to hear every single theory and tangent! There truly are endless possibilities.
