When is separation?

Dystopia Dan Erickson “Severance” is a baffling and easy to understand. A large and mysterious company called Lumon developed a revolutionary brain transplant that allows it to “cut” the minds of its employees. While the employee is in the office, they do not have memories of their external lives, and when they leave the office, they do not have memories of their working day. It is the balance of work/final life. Of course, the unintended result of the separation process is that LUMON employees begin to develop new characters while he is inside. These “Innies” and “Outies” begin to see themselves as separate people.

As “Severance” advances, Lumon has become more mysterious. No one is quite sure of what he does. The leading characters (Adam Scott, Brett Lu, Zak Sherry and John Tortoro) work in the company’s “refining Macrodata” section, and their work results are unknown. Lumon also raises goats (!), And insists that its employees worship the dead founder of the company, Kier Eagan, as if it were almost similar to Christ. Lumon not only has the secrets of companies; It appears to be driving worship.

In the end, it was revealed that the city in which Lumon Baed is known … is also called Kier. Lumon is honored everything on the city, and Lumon’s spies seem to watch everyone in the city, especially the match. The company is not deported to one terrifying office, but it appears to be involved in a social experience spread throughout the city. In the second season, Lumon Director, Mrs. Coble (Patricia Arcuit), leaves the city and leads more than 200 miles to Snowy town called Salt Neck, a remote fishing village. “Severance” was filmed in New York, but Kier’s actual location is still mysterious.

Of course, if the city of Kiir is surrounded by a tight social experience, then the actual time period of “separation” can also Be mysterious. Only a few evidence in the chain indicates how long it occurs.

The first idea comes from Ericsson himself. In an interview with wrap (across ForbesThe bidder once said a “interruption” more or less that happens today. “We do not go to anything in this is 10 years in the future, where the separation has been invented and actually existed,” I explained. “It is a kind of alternative timeline, mysterious now.”

This statement was supported by Some smart reditors Those who were able to pick up a screenshot of the Mark Scout (Scott). The license says that Mark was born on April 3, 1978. April 3 coincides with the birthday of actor Adam Scott, although he was born in 1973, which made Mark smaller than five years.

The license was said to have been released in 2020, which was about it when the first season of “Severance” was filmed. Thanks to the delays in production, the first episodes of “Severance” did not decrease until February 2022. The license, then, just lined up with the present time. However, Ericsson wanted to add that time was also intended to be a little mysterious. In fact, there is a reactionary aesthetic for many Lumon, and many of its technology appears to have been designed in the 1960s. There is more represented by Lomon than digital. Even carpets are more common green shades during the Kennedy administration. “Severance” is the present, but it is also the past.

Of course, some sharp viewers, at the screenshots above, noticed that the card behind Mark’s license is a driving license in New York since 1973. He says, in very small letters, “Vincent L. Tofany, the Commissioner of Automotive.” My realism He held the position of New York Motors’ Commissioner from 1967 to 1973.

The driving license is just further further that the “separation” occurs outside the joint over the normal time. The past and the present are a type of Chummy. Of course, the paradoxes of the textiles and strange reactionary techniques are more likely to choose more than one idea about the exhibition’s timetable.

In addition, one may assume that Ericsson and the executive producer Ben Steller not only put the same development used in M. Night Shyamalan’s 2004 movie “The Village”. This film was placed in a distanced village, where clothes and technology seemed to indicate that it happened in the nineteenth century. Ultimately, the film revealed that the pottery village was actually a mitigating society in the twenty -first century who, years ago, built an ammel -like pocket for citizens who live on. They recorded themselves in a long wood in Pennsylvania and ignored modern technology, preferring to live as it was in the nineteenth century. However, the leaders of society did not tell its younger citizens, who were born there, what the year was already.

Will it be revealed at the end that the “chapter” is already taking place in the distant future, but only playing operations such as 2020 due to the actions of some non -visible socialists Lomon? I assume this is possible, and some fans have assumed online that such a development may come In the “Severance” season now. But then, given that such a development was already used in “The Village”, one may assume that it will not be repeated in “Severance”. Therefore, despite some evidence, it is currently safe to assume that Ericsson is direct fire. “Severance”, in fact, happens “now-“.
