What Is Lumon Up to Now? And Other Severance Questions.


Sure, this is a question every week, but the events of “Chikhai Bardo” have made it more complicated than ever.

Some of that is the stuff we’ve seen already, between all the fertility business (everything with Gemma this week, the weird birthing center where Devon met the politician’s severed wife, the thing where Cobel/Selvig knew a lot about lactation) and the goats (cloning maybe???) I’m willing to go as far as “the severing process is part of a larger plan to allow the wealthiest members of society to eventually store and upload their memories into new human vessels so they can experience a never-ending version of life that extends beyond a disposable physical form.” But I’m happy to hear you out, too.
