That’s why she stays, but how did she fall in love with that dude in the first place?
I can’t figure it out either but I suspect lumon is involved somehow
How do innies know how to dance, or that music exists?
They obviously didn’t explain that part of the science, which really isn’t important. They obviously keep a lot of general knowledge, they just don’t know about their own life.
Well sometimes they get MDEs, maybe they learn from those.

I kind of doubt they’re ever going to explain exactly what innies retain and what they don’t. IIRC when Irv’s innie get into the car during overtime he doesn’t seem to know what to do and kind of just figures it out, which doesn’t really make sense.
I find it easy to just swallow/dismiss whatever inconsistencies or contradictions exist on this issue.

Yeah, it’s really not important. It would be tedious and annoying if every sci-fi show or movie explained every little thing. The innies clearly retained general knowledge, but don’t remember their actual life and have the naivete of children. Their personalities are also kind of their pure versions of themselves, unshaped by life.
Some level of vagueness is part of the fun. Let the audience use their imaginations. Show, don’t tell, that sort of thing.

I think that’s supposed to be ambiguous at this point

I’m not sure about this, I had considered it, particularly after the lie (that’s gotta come back to bite her at some point). I think we’ll find out for sure at some point, I’m more immediately curious if outie Helena regularly watches the videos of the severed floor or if her seeing the kiss with innie Mark was the first time she’s seen footage from down there.
Right, his innie wrote “Burt Goodman” on the paper so he’d find it, I’m guessing he wrote more inside the paper (it looked folded up?)
Also, when outie Irv paints the elevator to the testing floor, do we even know if innie irv has seen it that hallway? Something implied that the “normal” severed employees were only vaguely aware of the testing floor and had no idea how to access it (I may be misremembering).
I kinda thought this was some sort of hallucination, dylan is probably interviewing everywhere he can (he’s got a baby, and at least one other kid), so he’s probably full of self doubt and replaying everything in his head? idk, that was a weird scene but I liked the door jokes.
one other thing I’m wondering about
Milchick tells Mark that it’s been 5 months in S2E1. That has to be baloney, right? Milchick tells Helena and the big guy that he got the backup team “in 48 hours”

just to be explicit here,
it seems pretty likely that whatever they did to gemma they did to irv as well? How else would he know about the hallway?

Yeah, I think episode two conclusively proved that was a lie.

is the big guy helena’s brother? or just a henchman? He looks … eganish? but he’s definitely below Helena on the org chart.

Some opinions:
Yeah, it definitiely hasn’t been 5 months, it’s been a few days.
Is it Helly or Helena down at the severed floor? It hadn’t occured to me that it could be Helena; I have three episodes left in my rewatch and I will pay attention to what I think is going on. My gut tells me it’s Helly, but that Helena is following the happenings from the outside.

IIRC, they said his name was Mr. Drummond, so I assume henchman.
Maybe he is “the board?” Otherwise I got nothing
I really hope this show isn’t like Lost where the writers really have no idea where they are going with this and try to figure it out on the fly only to discover there is no great way to tie everything up.
Seems unlikely as Lost was a cautionary tale, but I’ve got a slightly bad feeling about this.
