ALL THE UNASWERED QUESTIONS OF SEVERANCE LEFT UNTILL NOW

There's still a lot of questions unaswered since Season 2, this is all I've gathered so far, if you have more let me know

• ⁠What's Irving backstory? How did he know about the elevator to the floor Gemma was on? And how did he find out about Exports and have names and addresses of so many employees? What has he found out so far? I feel like his outie might already know a lot about Lumon and might be trying to complete some plan. Otherwise, why continue to work there for so many years while painting the dark elevator? (he has referenced he's one of their oldest employees) - I'm sure that if he is purposely not sleeping to try to comunicate to his innie trough dreams he must have a reason. Also, why did they show that he was in the military, why is that relevant?

• Who was Irving calling from the phone booth?

• Who is Burt Really? What's his backstory? What was Burt’s 'big sin' that necessitated Severance? He always seems to know more that what he says. Is he even severed? He gives me vibes that he is on Lumon's side

• How did Petey get the cassette tape off the severed floor and where is it now?

• What was up with the dead seal during the ORTBO? And where did the ORTBO actually take place? What was supposed to be the endgoal with that whole 'trip'? And why did they made them sleep there?

• Also, who was that creepy lady that showed up in Irv's dream while they were there?

• What's the deal with the goats and why do they sacrifice them, and to who? What is those employees work goal and what are they doing there? And wierdly - why do Ricken and Devon have goat imagery in their home? And why was Eleanor dressed like a goat?

• Why is the theme of water so referenced throughout the show? We have Lumon waterdrop sign, the watertower, all the waterfalls and lakes in the paintings, the waterfall from ORTBO, and overall all the snow in the town too..

• Why was Milkshake reading Ricken's book at the office? And why is Ricken so interested in working with Lumon (Natalie's conversation) after he already knows they are doing suspicious things to Mark, possibly hurting him? I feel like he's not just here for the giggles, in his own words in the book The You You Are: "Expectation is a sword"

• Is the Board real? Who is it and why don't they ever talk? It seams Ms Cobel doesn't know either

• What's Cobel's purpose? What does she want really? We know by now that she's not entirely on Lumon's side, even though she praises Kier like no one else does...like a cult. Why is she so fixated with Mark and Cold Harbour? Or is she avenging her dead mother?

• What's her past inside the company? We know that she designed and created the chip and that she used to be severed and her chip is now 'deactivated' - was she like one the first people to be severed?

• And of course, what is Cold Harbour case? And what is the goal with MDR, how does that number system work? We hear Ms Cobel say to innie Mark in one of the last episodes at the cabin: "The numbers are your wife. A way into your wife's mind, Gemma." "Woe, frolic, malice and dread. The clusters are her tempers. Building blocks of her mind." (referencing the folders in his computer) "Every file you've completed is a new consciousness for her. A new innie", to which Mark says "I've completed 24 files." (Cold Harbour being the last one left). So what's Mark and Gemmas purpose at Lumon?

• Why is there a deadline for Mark to complete Cold Harbour? Will Gemma die?

• Why did Petey write "OID?" in his map? Is is just a doodle?

Please enjoy all of the questions equaly.

Watching the ORTBO episode for the first time and one thing is bothering me..

I can't see their breath in the cold air.

How cold is it supposed to be in that forest? Everything is frozen and they're wearing thick winter coats. Irv says he almost froze to death outside. And yet not a single breath is seen coming out of their mouths.

As someone who lives in a cold climate, it kinda broke the immersion for me during the episode lol.

Love the show btw. Been binge watching over the last 3 days and I'm sad there's only a few episodes left.

Rewatching the show and the way Lumon treats Seth Milkshake

Is it logical that microdata refinement dislikes him, but the way he is treated by the company is so weird, the racist blackface paintings them, they all use big words and speak in a cultish way, but it's a problem that Seth uses them?

Is it just regular old racist behaviour, or is there more to it because he got hired by them, so they must want him there, but he is going to get tired of their shit if they keep treating him like garbage

Why is it so slow?

Listen i like the show!!!!!
I’m on S1 Ep9 though and its been 20minutes and NOTHING has happened just “oh give me a second i gotta go do something” “oh yeah uh sure” BRO SAY NO I NEED TO TALK TO YOU N O W THE MISSION IS IMPORTANT WTF also the amount of time i spend in 1.5x and 2x speed is RIDICULOUS. did anyone else have this problem? it’s an interesting show but fuck me what is this? is it supposed to be an artistic choice? we’re not in the office so i don’t need 5-10minutes of them walking down the halls or opening and closing doors like the “monotony of an office”. what gives?

Google's results for 345 East main Street kier Pennsylvania

I saw one of the vintage lumon industries signs that was being sold said Pennsylvania instead of PE which I found fascinating so I typed the address in to Google and it brought me to this iron mountain storage facility in Butler Pennsylvania I did it several different times with slight alterations and every time got this result when I ask Google why it was giving me this result it completely ignored the question and wouldn't answer me I found this interesting as well just figured I'd throw it out there anybody else try and get this result it's a government-owned storage facility where they archaically keep paper files in manila envelopes and boxesrow after row that goes on for miles 200 ft under the ground the general public is not allowed access to this just thought it was weird because the address for the place is not even in the vicinity of 345 East main Street keir pa

Lumen, Lyon Branch

Was walking through central France and couldn’t help but think of our favorite suburban New Jersey office park.
