How Montauk’s reference season 2 of Severance could change everything

This article contains spoil For “Severance” Season 2 Episode 4, “Hellow Help”.

Lumon Industries has nothing good, right? “Severance” loves to interpret the mysteries of the corporation near the chest, only revealing the tip of the horrible iceberg when it owes. However, what the mystery of Apple TV+ shows has Revealed from the true purpose of the company is nothing less than chilling, and “Hoe’s Hollow” does not relieve exactly the spirit of the viewer.

The episode expands the mythology of the program in a series of spooky and characteristically veiled forms, some of which are seen through the eyes of an increasingly unbalanced irving (John Turturro). After effectively cutting the ties with the rest of the Macrodata refinement equipment during its outdoor equipment withdrawal, the previously reliable office drone on the forest to give Mr. Milchick (Tramell Tillman) a part of his mind. Unfortunately, Irving loses its way and is forced to sleep hard in the dark forest.

Here, he experiences a dream vision that is up to the most disconcerting views that “Severance” has presented so far. It shows a demacado -looking personification of Ay, one of the mandatory “four moods” of the series, which works at the Macrodatos Refinement Work Station in the middle of the forest. When Irving investigates closer, see a screen with numbers that dance and form mysterious patterns that look like an eye. Small UP Top text says: “Montauk 3% complete.” The dream ends with a predictable but effective jump of women, but the revelation of the aforementioned text is the real bang.

Let’s take a look at the Montauk project, and what this old conspiracy theory could mean for the poor characters of “Severance”.

The most likely culprit behind Montauk’s reference in “Severance is already familiar for dedicated fans of” Stranger Things “by Netflix. The science fiction adventure program of Duffer Brothers was inspired by a spooky and supposedly real experiment called Montauk project , to the point that the work title of the series was “Montauk”. Island, New York.

The theory of the varied shaded pranks of the Montauk project has significant similarities with the Philadelphia experiment, a theory of the conspiracy of the United States Navy of the 1940s that inspired itself “the episode of X-Files” ” Død Kalm “. This alleged time travel incident was also the theme of the 1984 science fiction thriller “The Philadelphia Experiment”, among many other allusions of pop culture.

Knowing Montauk’s story, the way in which “Hoe Hollow” drops the name in one of the most fundamental scenes of the episode is unlikely to be coincidence. Montauk has a lot of weight in pop culture, in the “SCP Foundation” collaborative fiction project, for example, lends its name to a scary but not specified procedure that is used to contain an entity known as SCP-231. Seeing the word about “compensation” and knowing its history adds not a small amount of weight to the possibility that the lumon cut floor is actually an important experiment of psychological options or even the paranormal variety.

In addition to the strange rules and worship fervor that the company imposes on its cut staff, each Lumon department on the cut floor seems to be clipping somewhat shaded, from the absurd rural mischief of the foster mammals to the fact that Mark (Adam Scott (Adam Scott) The seemingly dead gemma (Dichen Lachman) is still alive and has an innie called Mrs. Casey. Be connected to Gemma. They cause.

It is worth noting that many of the most ominal concepts of the program have a meaning of the real world. “Cold Harbor” can be a reference to a battle of the civil war that took place in 1964, a year before Lumon Industries was founded. Four Tempers philosophy is essentially a turn of Kier Eagan in the old psychological concept of four temperament hypocrates, which derives from an even older medical theory of four moods.

Since these “separation” concepts have enough connection with the real world to make the viewer wonder, the dream that refers to Montauk in “Woe’s Hollow” is disconcerting. Perhaps it simply refers to a file that is the Irving version of any cold port that represents for Mark. Maybe this Montauk is linked to the end of season 1 of “compensation”, which implies that Lumon is planning something related to compensation on a global scale … or it could be even worse. Whatever, spectators should probably be happy that Montauk’s process in Irving’s prophetic dream is almost certain that only 3%is completed.
