i would watch one million episodes where gemma is the principle perspective character. i know how mark feels she was my wife too

[dragons-and-flowers]

i know the severance floor is referenced as hell in the show but i've always thought of it more symbolically as limbo and now that we've seen the testing floor i can confidently say gemma is the one in hell

[grumfy]

this entire fucking episode

[bobomcfoe]

So much to say about s2 e7 but first and foremost I have to say that Jessica Lee Gagné absolutely killed it with the direction and cinematography. At the very first shot, you can tell that the episode is going to be different. The flashback scenes were so visually distinct from the rest of the show, and it really highlighted the contrast between Mark and Gemma's past vs present lives. Incredible work

happy they didn’t depict mark as a perfect, doting husband who currently suffers from Dead Wife Syndrome™️ which has made him sad and kind of an asshole. no…he’s always been kind of an asshole. he too much and was a bit checked out mentally. he fought with his wife over stupid shit because of the stress of trying and failing to conceive. threw a tantrum building the baby crib, which his wife told him he was not capable of building. he has trouble listening. he didn’t choose to get in the car with gemma the night she died and probably doesn’t remember most of his last conversation with her (not that it was much of a conversation to begin with) because he was too focused on meeting a deadline. the guilt that man feels…of course he chose to be severed. he blames work for taking gemma away from him.

severance is perpetually set in winter except when mark is with gemma, only then it's spring. all of this could mean nothing. just don't think about it.

imagine getting experimented on and relying on your husband to sort your macrodata for a chance to be fully revived, but your husband is busy sucking and fucking the evil company’s future ceo just a floor above you… happened to my friend gemma scout

[markhellyna]

drummond saying that gemma previously tried to break mauer’s fingers and this episode she hits him over the head with a chair…..i hope she kills that man fr

you wait all week in eager anticipation to spend one hour staring at your screen with your mouth open in abject horror and then it ends and you get to wait again. now thats television.

[susellesie]

no dentist's office. no writing christmas cards. no taking flights. a world where every pain or minor annoyance is dismissed as your consciousness is replaced with a different version of you. a life without pain, or agitation, or monotony. and conversely, a life full of only that for every version of you who experiences the chores you wished to evade.

forget skipping work or school or birth. try everything. never experience anything that expires a negative emotion. the ideal consciousness sold as a product for the price of a version of you that you'll never meet.

but it doesn't matter. you carry the hurt down with you. in your hands, in your mind, your mouth. the grief mark experiences carried into his innie, gemma feeling the pain she experienced in the rooms even after she's been severed.

it doesn't matter. you carry it with you.

[beyourghost]

oh so you thought existing only to perform a soulless office job was bad. how about existing only to go to the dentist. how about existing only in planes. how about existing only to perform stupid and repetitive yet socially expected tasks. how about existing only to withstand every unpleasant thing that somebody else decided to go without

macrodata department: man it's so hard being a teenager
