The shows location is in NJ and you can go into building!!! [/quote]

DCUM field trip!

Here’s what I’ve been wondering about…why did Irving decide to be severed?  We know the reasons that the other characters made this choice, but unless I 
missed something, I don’t think we know what led Irving to Lumon.

And why are there so many references to drowning  and water  — not just Gemma’s response to the nurse’s question about fearing suffocation or drowning more, but also:

Irving torturing Helena by basically water-boarding her in the waterfall,

the comment about outie Irving going on a long voyage (did Milchick say that?),

the eerie whistling of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a song that is about a shipwreck and drowning,

the picture in outie Irving’s apartment of a sailor who might have been his dad;

and Cold Harbor — the name of the supremely mysterious and important project that Mark is working on and the last room that Gemma will enter.

[b]Also, not water-related, but in the episode 7 flashback scene to Mark and Gemma and Devon and Rycken at dinner, why was Rycken so normal then?  He and Mark even seemed friendly.  What changed after that for him?

And finally, is it cheating if I watch episode 8 tonight while my husband is out of town?   I did that once with The Americans  and I still feel terrible about it.  [/quote]

Good question.  Also, why would Mark's sister even choose Rycken.  His personality is completely and utterly unappealing to me.  So insecure and needy.[/quote]

Finally, this is probably obvious, but severing would be such a great tool for the military.  No PTSD.  Very easy to get severed soldiers to do anything you want, because they have no context.  [/quote]

Black Mirror did a version of this -- hacking soldier brains[/quote]
