#fields severance

God, that moment where Fields, an older gay man who must have lived through the AIDs crisis, asks his husband if he had unprotected sex with a stranger is just sending the weight of history crashing down on me.

Did anybody else noticed that during the Old Men Yaoi dinner there were so many moments in which Irving asked a question, the camera was set on Burt's face but it was Fields's voice answering to the question? I feel it happened at least a couple of time, what a brilliant way to show how much power Fields seems to hold over Burt, what a way to stage Fields answering for Burt. It reminds me of a ventriloquist.

gonna need the folks in the Severance tag who are baffled/angered by Fields's concerns about unprotected sex to have a long think about why a gay man who would have been in his early thirties in 1981 might be worried about STIs

I know my church growing up was pretty progressive, but Lutherans typically believe that the only thing that gets you into Heaven is faith in Jesus, so I find it kinda weird that Burt's main motivation to get severed is so his innie could go to Heaven when they explicitly mention he goes to a Lutheran church. Hoping that there's more there and that this isn't a strange oversight

dude… is burt and fields from severance holt and kevin from brooklyn 99 in the evil timeline
