Anybody else watching this on Apple TV+? 4 episodes released so far and I’m enjoying it.

The elevator scene with Drummond I shouted AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!

Hey what recaps / discussions are you watching? I’m looking for the good ones that point out stuff

I listen to the Waffle Poddy podcast from the dudes at Bald Move and then watch the Pete Peppers YouTube recaps. Pete and the Bald Move dudes also do a live discussion together once a week YouTube that I enjoy. Pete has a weirdness about him but I enjoy his content.

I'd just like to know iMark's game plan here. Mother ****er gonna just hang out on the severance floor forever? Also for as big as Lumon is, these mother****ers don't have much of a security presence. They have Mr. Drummond, but after that
is just that little weasel shit doctor or devil nurse?

Mark S. went back for Helly, but after completing the infamous Cold Harbor file, why would Helena ever go back to the floor. They got what they wanted. Are Mark S. and Helly going to avoid going up the elevator? Because once they do, they're never coming back. (Aside: what does the elevator feel like for an innie? they lose and regain consciousness in there - it would be like going into a closet at the end of your shift, the lights go out, the come back on and it is a new day. Yikes. But I digress)

Will Lumon hold Mark hostage to somehow control Gemma and Devon? Since they have the OverTimeConingency, can they just flip a couple switches [Hang in There] on an outie and drive over and pick their innie?

Helena may not have a choice. It seems clear that Jame Eagan prefers Helly to Helena. My personal theory is that Jame will keep the Helly personality in control and they'll have to keep Mark S. around to keep Helly in line.

Just watched - incredible episode! Glad to see it after a few weeks of kind of stalling out. Thoroughly enjoyed and can't wait for Season 3.

I would definitely qualify this as a cliffhanger. In spite of doing a ton to advance the plot it seems like there are more unsolved things than there were before. Probably the biggest question for me is - does Jemma escape? I'm guessing Cobel or Devon maybe shows up in the stairwell and extracts her. But the whole time I'm thinking, she needs to stop yelling through the window and start running.

It does seem like there's a world where Helly R's dad tries or wants to replace Helena with Helly R based on his weird comments.

One thing that occurs to me - even though it was accidental and I would call it self-defense, Mark is now a murderer. But nobody, maybe not even he, knows if it was his innie or his outtie that pulled the trigger. Maybe it doesn't matter.

Lots of fascinating things to ponder.

My one complaint that is kind of connected with two things is the Cobel episode and how it interrupted Mark’s reintegration stuff that was ramping up. After that happened they basically only talked about it a few times and for all that stuff with Cobel we didn’t get any big payoff from her having invented the chip. I get its importance and relevance moving forward but devoting that entire episode to it even though it didn’t really come into play this season was annoying.

Yeah the reintegration for me is a plot hole. After all of that drama and drastic measures to reintegrate, now Mark seems just fine, perfectly NOT integrated and somehow has no lasting effects.

It's just dumb as shit. All Mark has to do is reintegrate and he can save his wife and not worry if his innie is going to let his wife die or not.

Outie Mark if he wasn’t stupid

Innie Mark: Reintegration is a lie

Outie Mark: Your BEST FRIEND Petey is the one that told me about it

Innie Mark: Ok I believe you now

All the evidence that we've seen says that 'reintegration' doesn't work - or is imperfect - or doesn't work yet. Plot-wise, i think it only served to move Mark in a new direction. Petey's procedure got Mark starting to think about his innie, while before he was indifferent.

I think the Cobel episode served to explain why she could turn on Lumen so completely. I don't think it needed a whole desolate episode to do that, but that's what we got.

Good stuff.

Innie Mark: Well then where is Petey? I wanna hear it from him!

Outtie Mark: Oh F**k

Yeah he can't really bring up Petey, because then iMark is like oh what's he up to? OMark tells him, oh he's actually dead from it.

At that point iMark says abso****inglutely not and is probably done.

I thought this was pretty funny (sorry, don’t think it’s embedable):
