There will be theories.
Many will be unhinged.
Severancereturned for a second seasonthree years after its first ended and picked up almost exactlywhere it left off.
It picked up where it left off for the MDR teams Innies, at least.
For them, no time has passed since Dylan flipped the switches after his waffle party and unleashed chaos.
Well get to it shortly.
Some things have changed, though.
Mr. Milchick is the boss now, through a combination of competence and attrition.
He has a mysteriously youthful sidekick.
The storage closet is much less spacious.
How, exactly, does one begin to explain wind to someone who has never experienced it?
I wouldnt know where to begin.
Speaking of interesting questions raised by the season-two premiere, lets get to the task at hand.
.Has it really been five months since the events of the season-one finale?
I lean toward no on that one, just as a general rule.
It keeps things cleaner.
Frankly, I do not even think he wanted Mark to enjoy those balloons.
Maybe it was five months.
Maybe it was a year.
Maybe it was the handful of hours it took Lumons maintenance department to wall up the wellness room.
.What is going on in the outside world?
What actually happened after Mark shouted Shes alive!
What happened when Helly snapped back to her Outie self at her own, much fancier party?
These are things we will get answers to shortly, one assumes.
Or at least at some point.
A lot of it depends on the answer to the first question about how much time transpired.
A 24-hour news web link could get weeks of breathless coverage out of that second thing.
A sick part of me wants to see it.
.Why did Helly lie?
Maybe she was just embarrassed and ashamed.
People have lied for lesser reasons.
Thats going to be … unpleasant.
.Do you think you would get lost trying to navigate the hallways of the Lumon building?
I still get turned around maybe one out of every six or seven visits.
I would be hopelessly lost in the Lumon building, every day.
They should invent a brain chip for that instead.
What could go wrong?
.What the hell is up with Miss Huang?
(3) She is actually 28 and has a fabulous skin-care regimen.
We will continue to monitor this situation.
.What happened to the other MDR team?
I feel like we will see them again at some point.
So lets all pretend thats what is happening until proven otherwise, just as a treat.
.WAS THAT GEMMA AND/OR MS. CASEY FLICKERING IN THE SCREEN AT THE END?
YOOOOO
IT WAS, RIGHT?
WHATS GOING ON THERE?
OR DOES THIS MEAN SHES BEEN MOVED SOMEWHERE AND IS WATCHING MARK THROUGH HIS SCREEN?
WHAT THE HELL, MAN???
