[quote=Anonymous]The drowning question reminds me of Helena and Irving and the pineapple bobbing. The levels of entrapment highlighted in this episode with the different floors and maze like hallways seems so ominous to me and less humorous. The satire is sharpening.

The scene with Cobel looking at the sign listing mileage to another town earlier this season makes me think she cannot physically leave. The never-ending hallway is a highway. The tension comes from being physically and emotionally trapped and tethered by, to, and for Lumon. I wonder if the writers might be playing with the concept of revolving and revolutions. Driving, running, thinking in circles. The tiny disruptions create a ripple effect and the more Lumon seeks to control these effects, the greater in frequency (both in number and in type) the disruptions will occur. Interesting choice to have a Russian literature professor and a professor of history at the center of the series.

Is the goal compliance and ego breaking? Is it suppression and oppression? Is it an artificial sense of purpose for those who’ve experienced so much excess at the top that in order to experience human emotion they resort to extreme abuse not realizing they will fail to achieve desired results?

The Eagons fail because they fail to understand Mark and Gemma. They study and test a couple of humanities professors rather than learning from them. The Eagons cannot see the forest for the trees. The failure is to interpret finding the x Mark and buried Gemma as a transaction rather than a story. [/quote]
