Why would it be a letdown? I'm intrigued to see innie Helly back now.

DP, but I kind of feel the same. Or at least about the idea that this was a big reveal to the viewer. It was obviously a big reveal to the MDR team. As far as what innie Helly is going to do, I feel like the show has one shot to get this right. It will be an insult if she's whisked away has no chance to tell them what happened.

I also have a really hard time with Mark totally blowing off the fact that his outie's wife (and by extension, his wife) is supposed to be dead, but she's alive inside Lumon. But he sleeps with Helly? Weird.

My speculation is that outie Mark, along with Gemma, are the second level down of a larger plot. I think Mark and Gemma are not quite Eagan level at Lumon, but have voluntarily put themselves in this experiment.

But why would Mark have started reintegration if this was the case?

PP here - Outie Mark is not aware of his true role at Lumon - he's been severed as an outie as well. Kind of like the layers in Inception.

I'm getting bored. This last episode was a snooze.

The problem with these shows is they keep introducing threads and then are unable to tie them up. This is happening in spades with this show.

They need to keep it to 3 seasons and wrap it up. If they wait 2 years for a Season 3 I don't know if I'll bother to watch.

I don’t like this season much either. The first was much more cohesive.

Spoiler (maybe)



……



Read theory that Dieter Eagan is anagram for AI-generated and innies are learning to code to bring people back to life with ultimate goal of Lumon to bring back Kier Eagan. That each innie working on their own “files” to bring back people they love (so Mark and his wife and some say Dylan may have kids that died). Is this a “yes! This is it” theory or waaaaay out there? Honestly at this point, I am still confused about the goats as I was sure cloning was happening, but saw Adam Scott himself said if that would be a really boring storyline if true so figure that is not true.

What do you all think is really going on and maybe most important, how much longer do we have to wait?

This is show I wish I found AFTER it was all wrapped up so could binge and be done as now, yes, I want to know but so slow for me.

Didn't Outie Mark find out something through his sister, who interacted with Innie Mark and then passed it on when her brother switched back?

My theory is the mysterious and important work is actually Mark undoing Mark’s wife’s personality to the point she will become an empty vessel for Eagan purposes. Irving knowing the export corridor means he might have been brainwashed rather than truly severed by choice, possibly bc he snooped and found Lumon secrets irl. Dylan was there purely as a fun colleague for Mark’s sake.

Season two reviews were so over the top good…but I’m finding these episodes continue to be kind of boring and meandering. I’m hoping the last few make up for it!

Fields was really something

Burt's somehow the real villain.

Or Felix is. And I’m curious about the pastor.

The guy Burt went to dinner with / his romantic interest at work.

I agree that there's more to him as his husband said that he had worked at Lumon for decades.

Sorry not Felix! Fields. Probably autocorrect!

Kier is a made up name.

Played by the great John Noble. If you like him here, you'll love him in Fringe, one of my favorite sci-fi shows.
