[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Milchek is such a weird guy.   Like he clearly hates his job but will do anything for it.  I guess that tracks with a world where Lumom is basically the only employer.  Does marks sister work?  If so, do we know what she does or did?  She seems very smart.[/quote]

He may be the best character on the show.

There are strong racial undertones surrounding his hatred of his job. It's really interesting and I'd like to see more about it in S3.[/quote]

Definitely.  It really seems like there an internal battle going on between his outward mask of obsequience and his inner core personality, which is strong and confident and smart.  I assume there is some reason why he is wearing that mask and playing this game despite the obvious racism at Lumon.  (Because he’s not just playing the game, he is excelling at it, and working like a freakin’ Olympian to do so, see for example his incredible marching band flash mob dance.).  It may be limited economic opportunities elsewhere.  It may be that he’s a really deeply placed undercover spy.  It may be that they have his family or something in some awkward position.  Or it may be that he was raised in some creepy boys home run by the cult.  He’s clearly reaching a breaking point, so I think the question is whether he ends up advancing beyond his pointless useless middle managers to take a more powerful role in Lumon, or whether he joins forces with the people trying to break Lumon.  I don’t think he knows yet.  The death of Mr Drummond might meaningfully change things for him.

Separately, can I just say how much I loved Dylan’s outie’s response to his resignation request?  It was so Dylan G.  At the core, although they’ve had different experiences, they are really the same people.  Inside or out, Dylan is a fundamentally decent, loving, loyal guy.  And inside or out, Mark is the kind of person that is a little self-preoccupied or clueless, but also is loyal, worries about others, and has a high baseline level of skepticism.  And inside or out, Helly is a badass with a core of steel running through her but a longing to be loved.   Irving is the only one whose innie and outie seemed to me to be very different. [/quote]
