Sweet fucking Christ Adam Scott is gorgeous

 

Helly saying "Don't you mean Helly E" was the hardest line of television I've heard in a minute. After getting two seasons of essentially prison break I like this new angle of the chess game between Lumon and Helly R for next season. I also really want Irving to come back.

 

Also while asburd I loved the marching band sequence. This show finds hilarious ways to satirize corporate celebration culture. Pizza party? No full marching band.

 

Wow, did I offend you or something?

 

I feel like if this finale wasn’t satisfying the whole show would be in huge trouble. Luckily that was a great hour+ of tv. If the show were to get cancelled that could have worked as a series finale imo and yet it also set up an exciting new direction for the show to go next season. Impressive to thread that needle

 

Overall I thought Season 2 was kind of all over the place but the finale was absolutely fantastic.

 

Probably something obvious I missed but who was the out of focus person in the hallway behind Mark in the first episode

 

I think it's shadow mark from the Ortbo

 

Im only like 50% convinced its weird ORTBO Mark but I have no clue who it could be otherwise

 

I saw someone say it was Jame slinking around the halls, maybe?

 

The actor who is credited as it is the same as shadow mark.

 

what was up with those ORTBO things anyways

 

I think the show is kind of screwed in that they set up these cool, mysterious things that you would feel cheated if they never explained, but the explanations kind of ruin the fun of it.

So I dunno, but I'll probably be kind of let down if they do explain the clones.

 

I personally will not feel cheated if they don’t explain every weird thing only because they’ve set up “yeah, this company is fucking weird” so it’s just easy to accept some things as yeah, that’s weird.

 

I thought they were just like hologram things or something? Not actual clones.

 

Who knows. There was definitely someone walking the halls in s2 e1 behind Mark and it was the same actor as Shadow Mark. They were also depicted on his orgasmic painting in the finale.

 

the painting was very odd to me. certain people in it that idk why they'd be there other than in a showrunner sense of "remember these guys?" even though they have no real importance to mark

 

I would like an explanation for the clones if not only for the sequence where we are shown how the innies are being observed by the clones through their computers. What’s that all about?

 

Alternatively, if the entire point of the goats was to breed goats worthy enough for sacrifice, then I’m happy with that and cool with them not exploring the goat people any more

 

Ohh yeah forgot about the clone people watching them

 

Im pretty sure it was every person innie mark has ever encountered

 

as long as we get more answers on what the sacrifice is for I agree with this

 

I think the purpose is that a worthy goat would be a guide to lead the dead person’s spirit to Kier. Unless they’re going to add a new wrinkle to the goats later, they sorta fully explained why they were breeding goats and what the sacrifice was for/their belief around burying the to-be-dead Gemma with a goat.

 

has he ever met natalie? it also seems to be showing the ghost lady for woe, who only irving saw

 

It had all four tempers in there. That’s just how they chose to represent her. She’s represented as a bride multiple times.

I do believe he meets Natalie during one of the Cobel scenes in season 1.
