SEVERANCE, 1.06 "hide and seek"

WHO is Irving talking to on the phone?

“I think they’ve figured out my innie is up to something”???? how aware is Irving B?

Why did Irv have dirt under his fingernails?

What did Jame Eagan mean by “The Grandfather” and why is it capitalised like a proper noun in the subtitles?

Who is actually on the board?

What’s up with the goats? Is it just cult business? Is there a real effect to goat sacrifice?

How many kids has Jame had I’m scared

“They may also be connected to several recent disappearances or deaths”?? Is Gemma not the only victim?

Why does Jame have no “S” at the end of his name it’s making me uncomfortable

“You’ll kill them all!”??? WHAT did Dr. Mauer mean by this? Did he mean Gemma’s innies?? I’m so scared

- the "dirt" is black paint from his all night painting

- the fun with severance is that the only true scifi is severance the procedure and chip, and the code detectors. the goats aren't a vessel or anything, they're just ritualistic sacrifices. though i CAN see them being the numbers, by way of camera tracking. its not even scifi. this idea is based on Cloudflare's Lavarand, which is a wall of like 100 lava lamps who's random blob patterns create the entropy for the company's encryption. so like translated to sev, the clusters of goats are where the feely numbers pop up.

- jame is probably the father to too many children. look up sperm donor sibling pods. the irl ramifications of like zero regulations in the sperm donation industry is horrible.

- yeah they probably have other MDR departments doing the same thing. remember the MDR replacements in 201 were from other Lumon branches and didn't need to get trained on how to refine. they've been refining elsewhere. Lumon's made the most progress with Gemma because of Mark, which inherently disproves the procedure's efficacy, and did lead to Cold Harbor's downfall when Mark Scout got to Gemma

- Jame has no s because some of the names in Sev are kooky. wtf is a Ricken? Danise? Rebeck? Balf? kooky names abound.

- yes "you kill them all" refers to Gemma's innies. Mauer is obsessed with her, psychosexually, and has an attachment to them all.
