  • Just ask in a voicemail. They already know she knows about it and is trying to figure it out…they’d either answer or they wouldn’t.

    Like…so much was made from a non-answer before…so she’d care at least how they answered the question, even if they didn’t answer it directly. Of they’d give her a nuke…maybe they’d give her the recipe for the olive oil. Or she’d get ghosted…and be no further behind.

    Its not ruining the show or anything…it’s just a Jenga piece pulled out. Know what I mean?


  • Oh yeah…I thought it was obvious that we’re supposed to believe they’re eating the bodies. It was telegraphed by the canines trying to dig up the corpse (provided animals have a basic link to Pluribus).

    I assumed the “something” she saw was a body…maybe even one she recognized, considering the room was full of bodies lol.

    I’m more at the stage “where are we going with this?”…doesn’t seem like anywhere. Basic sci fi tropes, so far…even if extremely well executed. It bothers me that she didn’t just ask what the liquid was for…seems like a pretty huge plot convenience to delay exposition.


  • Agreed, I’m enjoying it and it’s definitely high quality…I’ll see it through.

    This was just the first episode that had me scratching my head as to what she will and won’t ask Pluribus to do. She’ll have them transcribe her plan to “cure” them…but won’t just ask what the liquid is? It approaches a plot hole…even if it’s super interesting.

    ETA: The last bit of Severance was definitely a stretch…reminded me of Maybe from Arrested Development: “Nobody will know what the hell happened, but they’ll say they like it because they don’t want to sound stupid.”
