Amazing episode! But I'm not sure how to feel about this decision yet, guess we'll have to see which theories are correct.

When the short animated movie starts, we clearly see a projector with three separate projection sources, one with a lens for each base color:

Since they are each positioned with a slight offset and angled, the projected pictures can't work well for all distances. The further you get from the actual "perfect" distance, the more the different color channels will be offset visually. And yet, what do we see when Mr. Milchick steps in front of the screen?

Obviously the whole fandom has been intensely discussing multiple theories:

  • Lumon has developed projector technology lightyears ahead of our own
  • Most of the production cost for this season went into growing such a talented child actress, so Apple saved money on set design
  • Mr. Milchick is actually a flat surface that merely looks like a 3D person due to optical trickery

I'm not sure which one I agree with the most. What do you guys think?

I have just finished season 2 of Mr Robot, and decided to rewatch S1 of Severance. Seeing Petey's glitching in the shower reminded me of Elliot's struggles, and then Daydream played, which was also used in Mr Robot S2 opening.

It's been a while since the end of season 1. People have had time to come up with and refine their theories. We also got some new clips of what's coming in season 2 at WWDC that signals we could be getting more Severance soon.

What are your best theories or the best theories that you've come across? How would you like season 2 to start?
