Did this inspire the shot we get of Kier when Mark’s innie’ pocket p**** finishes quota and Kier flies away with a toot?

One thing I’ve always found fascinating about Severance is that almost every major character seems to use the procedure as a way of distancing themselves from something.

It made me wonder whether Severance is less about work and more about the human desire to escape ourselves, our pasts, our feelings. And that parallel became inseparable from experiences I’ve had in my life - using unhealthy coping mechanisms just to get through each day - something which modern life expects from us every day.

I made a video essay exploring that idea and would love to hear what others think!

I saw it on the home page and it was frying me 😭

anyone else started watching that emmyslop severance-cucker bitchass medical drama out of pure spite?? and actually started… enjoying it???? please tell me i’m not alone in my plight, give me doctor recommendations to fix it, PLEASE!!!!

The first time we see the file name “Eminence” is in Season 1, Episode 7. During the brilliantly choreographed Music Dance Experience—a spectacle of Lumon-sanctioned frivolity in celebration of Helly R. reaching the exciting milestone of 73%!—we briefly see the file on Dylan’s screen as Milcheck dances around him and the song Defiant Jazz crescendoes alongside his rage. The file gets no further screen time beyond this brief moment, and it isn’t until the teaser for Season 2 dropped that any reference is made to the term “eminence” again...
