Severance Theories #7 - Season 2 + Gemma, The Ideographic Card

foreign I don't know what it is but I'm feeling like I've got a little extra pep in my step I'm feeling a little bit like welcome back to another edition of sevens theories in episode 7 we will examine a bunch of interesting theories I've come across Around the Net Discord in a few other places I've got spicy season two news you may not have heard yet another massive Theory related to Gemma and we're going to discuss the idiographic cards Dylan joint from ond and milchik's response to that and stay tuned to the end because I've got some news related to future videos for the channel you might like we've got a lot to cover so let's begin but before I start I do need to sound the alarm spoilers are incoming if you don't want that spoil for you Now's the Time to hit the save to watch later button come back when you have a chance I'll still be here videos will still be here don't worry it is my pleasure to welcome These Fine people to the list of fully integrated innies I like to extend a warm welcome to Vani V Sean H Luna Cascade Alyssa Shelton Margie and mandycat thank you so much for your support look for your name in the credits going forward oh wait oh I'm sorry what oh this oh this is just some artwork that a member of the Discord Sam sepio sent to me as a gift I'm rocking it on my phone as I speak just wanted to give him a shout out appreciate it much which leads me to the point that we have a Discord it's free to everyone it's a cool place to find other fans of servants and shows like it check the description box if you're interested in finding out more alright so that's it for intros let's get into the meat and potatoes of things tin foil tight all right let's dive according to a few credible sources the word on the Block is that seventh season two is rumored to be coming out in October of 2023. what the [ __ ] that's right 10 20 23. that's an old eight freaking months away what are we gonna do am I gonna do I'm gonna do for eight months eight months I can't wait for eight months in the meantime I've got some info that should give us some idea of what the focus of season two will be about this is according to Erickson and Stiller across several interviews and an article in Yahoo news Stiller in an interview with Entertainment Weekly sat down and was quoted as saying this in season two we're going to be showing all of these people on the outside and that's similar to Mark they had their own reason for getting this procedure and they're all at some stage of a healing process for one thing or another so proof that we will be getting the backstories on the rest of the MDR crew I don't know if we're getting all of them in one season but we're going to be getting more information about Dylan probably Irving as maybe even Hellie and her backstory and what's going on with her Audi Patricia Arquette chimes in and she says to expect season two to be wilder and scarier than season one and a quote taken from Indie wire she's quoted as saying Patricia Arquette has a Sinister warning for his servants fans the Emmy winning actress sees that audience should be very scared of what's in store for Lumen employees in the upcoming season 2 of the Apple Original Series be scared very scared according to Entertainment Tonight no I think these guys have been working really hard and come up with a lot of really creative things they have a whole world in their minds they just let us in piece by piece into what's going on but I think it will be fun and beautiful so that's what she has to say about it she doesn't have all of the details of season two but I guess she has an idea of where things are going and she seems pretty positive one thing she said that I really liked was she said referring to season two in the answers that you'll get it when you get it and you won't get upset are we sure that was Patricia Arquette talking next that sounded like Harmony copel to me I don't know you're gonna get these answers and you're gonna like it Kobo channeling that angry mom energy again while answering some questions about what to expect when it comes to season two executive producer and co-writer for the show Ben Stiller had this to say he also promised season 2 will provide Answers by the end of season one there's so many questions that were brought up Stiller says as an audience you're wanting those answers and I think for us it's about being able to make something that set us so I ain't enough for the audience feel like a lot of these questions are dealt with if not answered completely or some of them are some of them aren't on the same subject show writer Dan Erickson also gives us a little more on what to expect from season two in this course when he sat down for an interview with Esquire there's definitely going to be some expansion of the world Erickson told Esquire within Lumen we're going to see more of the building and we'll see more of the outside world too now Eriksen did have something to say about Mark and Jenna which I thought was really interesting and I'm very surprised that this is the first time I'm coming across this but this changes a lot for me he says that there's a question of sort of who was targeted first there is a question of sort that right of sort anyway of who was targeted first was Mark targeted because of his relationship to Gemma or was it the other way around and that's something we don't see this season but we will in subsequencies if that's the big question what is special about Mark indeed what is special about Mark this is huge in my opinion this is interesting because Ericsson reveals that they Gem and Mark are being targeted by lumen work and it isn't just happenstance that these people end up working for women most likely we just don't know who Lumen was really targeting if not both of them what this does prove is that Lumen manipulates people into making them think that it's their own idea to work for them somewhere right now Christopher Nolan is smiling I think this is also true of Peg Kincaid and the Lexington letter I think she was chosen to work at Lumen and not the other way around let's not forget that she also died in a car accident while on the run from lumengoons this piece of information sets off a firestorm of ideas and theories because of the implications which conveniently segues into my next topic okay so I'm just gonna jump straight into this how do we know Gemma wasn't already severed and Mark had no idea I know right I I didn't think about this before this is a premise put forward by another Creator in this video here it'll be linked in the comment section but for the sake of time it basically is suggests that very idea that there's more to Gemma than we might think shout out to Harry Lan for linking this to me in the Discord or I might have missed it here's the thing we know for sure that Gemma like Mark was a professor they worked at the same institution our expertise was in Russian literature I think I hope I'm right but it's also possible that Gemma could have been working for Lumen and she could have been tasked with bringing Mark in to MDR somehow it's possible that she changed her mind and decided to go against Lumen and that's why it happened or maybe the whole thing was just an accident who knows I may have to make an entire video dedicated just to Gemma I'll see we might have to do that but I want to hear what you think about this because this is about as close to an admission of lumen's hands being involved in the lives of people who they don't employ as we've seen so far it's kind of a big deal I'm still on the fence with this one though as far as whether Gemma is an innocent or whether there's more to her or not I'm kind of hoping that there is more to her it would be interesting for her to be more than just a damsel in distress you know she might be a player in the story and that could be exciting maybe when we get more Audi stories from next season we'll get some Clues as to how she ended up illumin in the first place this particular scene I want to go back to the scene again this is the OTC scene we know this one very well this is the one where Dylan is being grilled by mailchik about where the idiographic card is now we know that Dylan pocketed the cards with these violent images on them that look like instructional cards and how to fold someone in three easy steps and he did this when he visited OMG with the rest of the MDR crew one thing we have not addressed yet is this question did milchik believe that Dylan smuggled the card off the third floor it's kind of important does this scene prove that he at least thinks it's possible because it's actually not that hard to do or because oh detectors are fake news you know how I feel about those code detectors I've become a full-on code detector denier at this point also keep in mind that milchik is the one who found MDR inond and gave them that look that your mom gives you when you act up in public and you know you're going to get it when you get back home I mean it was Boba Fett I mean I would do it again if I could I'd do it today seriously though we know that the detectors can pick up words and symbol and these cards have words and symbols it should have been cake to detect these with the huge print on the back and yes I forgot about this scene too but Stiller clearly wanted us to see the back of the cards in the shot as opposed to using the standard over-the-shoulder shot of milkshake recovering the card so what can we make of the scene and the fact that milchik freaked out and actually risked his job to trigger an illegal OTC just to be sure of where Dylan put the precious cards I only vaguely covered this topic in a previous video but I think this tells us that MDR isn't being watched nearly as much as they or we think they are the panopticon comes to mind and yes I just wanted to say that because it makes me sound smart but seriously the concept is simple create an environment with a sub object feels like they're being watched all the time and they will behave like they're being watched all the time religion tends to work that way too so does Santa Claus and this guy but if you can make the prisoner monitor themselves the Jailer doesn't need to watch them every moment of the day but this does confirm that Lumen is more than happy to use psychological methods to control their constituents this is just another example of that I came across a theory on the reddits that suggests that the detectors are in fact real but they don't detect physical words or symbols at least not the way that we think that they do instead they are triggered by scanning the chips of severed elevator Riders and detecting that the occupant has Contraband on them through their recent memories I know I had the same reaction it sounds good at first because it solves many of my code detector denial problems but then I started to think if the detectors are scanning chips with that level of specificity there would be no secrets for any any to keep ever and that's a bit op as a story element here but who knows what are your thoughts let me know in the comments section if you are a code detector denier 2 and if so how do we start that Facebook page also what do you think milchick was thinking when he came for Dylan at the crib did he think that Dylan smuggled it out or is he just generally High Strung because the card was missing and the card is really important for some reason and also what do you think the cards are for because I still have no idea I think it's like a card game like Uno but you have to do what's on the cards a Loser ends up in the ICU okay that's it for this episode many more subjects left to cover before season two begins we're gonna save some for next time so I said I had an announcement to make pretty simple I want you guys to start giving me your theories in the comment section of my videos not just this one but any of them and if I do see them and I do like what I see I will use your theory in my next video and you will get credit for it and we'll discuss it and I'll assess it and I promise you I will not be too rough I promise to enjoy all of your theories equally anyway I hope you enjoyed the video if you did you know what to do praise Kira take care of yourselves out there and until next time off you go foreign
