I never thought I would get so attached to a character who kept saying he wanted a "waffle party"
😂😂😂
Yeah but a waffle party is WAY more than waffles! Watch that episode!
@@rikipuppy7684 - is it sleeping in a museum? Or is there an eyes wide shut s*x party?
@@rikipuppy7684 wait, are you implying that the masked dancers were going to have sex with Dylan?
This is why the show is brilliant.
“Page 197 slaps”
Excellent evaluation as always. Dylan definitely makes this show more interesting. Can’t imagine the show without him.
Thank you! I would hate to imagine the show without him!
He's got a fantastic scene presence, no disrespect at all, but it has a lot to do with his looks, but also his style of acting/speech patterns
I am so glad u mentioned the fact that the team all went to check on Dylan after he attacked Milchick, despite he being the attacker in that case. I loved this detail.
Yes! Totally agree!
It gave me family vibes when I saw that. That's around the time I really started to root for them as a team.
@@nautilusfiles I agree! Milchick's bomb ass dancing took over that scene so much that a lot of ppl did not even notice how they all held each other around Dylan after he lost his shit. It was an iconic moment in my opinion. Then when Milchick threatened Dylan and Dylan was all like "bring it on, I'd love to go talk about this.." I fucking loved his response. But the thing I find ODD AF. Why did Milchick have to even use the OT protocol to begin with over a stupid card? Why could he not have waited until the next day to ask Dylan? And why did he do it behind Cobel's back? What is the significance of that card??
@@mothermakeup7481 maybe code detectors don't work on lumon property since it probably has to be moved in and out, and they suspected he snuck out company product, and made a huge mistake using the OTP, Milchik might have gone around Cobel because managing them is his responsibility
@@tylergee3043 I suspect that using the OT protocol was something that Milchick did just to cover his own ass, and he did it without Cobel's knowledge. It was a pretty stupid thing to do, but he consistently underestimates the innies' intelligence and capabilities throughout the show, and didn't realize that letting one of them know about the OT protocol would galvanize them to try using it. (Additionally, who exactly was it that was activating it back at the office? There was definitely at least one person back at the office who Milchick was talking to, more likely two, but we don't see them and there no obvious candidates for who it could be.)
What I'm more confused about is why Dylan took the card in the first place? At first I assumed he was going to use it as evidence that O&D was plotting against MDR, but he never brings it up to the others, and he just leaves it behind a toilet for some reason.
My own theory is that Dylan was bringing stress from work to his home and maybe taking it out on his family, so he went severed to avoid lashing out at them more. Great video btw!
oh thaats a great theory
Best theory yet!
My thought is that he can't leave work at work by nature, and that is why he decided to sever. He is intelligent, good at work, really driven, even obsessive...the drawback to this is that he tends to take it home with him. For someone with 3 kids and a wife, it will be very problematic. Money may be a factor. But to sever at 5 PM is a blessing for a family man.
My favorite line from the show thus far is Dylan's "F*** you, Mr. Milchick!" Only Dylan would curse someone while still deferentially using their professional title :)
And one big observation is that they did not wipe Dylan's memory after his OTC. I guess that means that they either can't, or they can't do so with just selective memories, or that they didn't bother because they did not think of Dylan as a threat. I am curious if this will come up in season 2.
And again, wonderful review. Dylan is indeed MVP!
Hey, raven! Thanks for stopping by! Dylan has already solidified himself as an icon with that one line. Good question about the OTC aftermath. I wonder... obviously there was at least one other person required to trigger the OTC, but Cobel apparently never found out about it because Milchick and the mystery person(s) wanted to cover their @sses? Changing Dylan's severance status wasn't an option?
@@nautilusfiles Oh that's right -- I forgot that Cobel was not in the loop. Now that opens up a whole new can of worms for when the Board wants to know why MDR was even aware of OTC, let alone how to activate it, hee hee :)
i don't think they can selectively wipe.
it's only split consciousness and/or wipe entire consciousness.
so if they wanted him to forget the OTC then they have to factory reset his innie.
A detail that nobody mentions... the delts
Everyone remembers the scene where Dylan is dreaming out loud about his outie, and said that his "delts are ridiculous" and that he does muscle shows for sure.
I wonder if it's intentional foreshadowing to the time that he held down two distantly placed buttons to activate the remote severance of the other 3. That position (arms held outward and upward for a long period of time) is the ultimate delt exercise, and holding out his arms like that for like 20 minutes is literally a world-class feat... and I'm sure his ridiculous delts were ON FIRE the whole time!
You know, his enthusiasm for the trinkets is funny on one level, and it also caused me to really reflect deeply on how empty the innies’ lives are, to the point that they have to find meaning and motivation in such small things.
I’ve spent time in a couple varieties of secure facility, I remember in the bleakest, most stimulation-free one I was ever in, they would make (decaf) coffee every few hours and give it to us, and in between every coffee break you’d just sit there, watching the clock, waiting for the next coffee, it was like my brain had to create some kind of anticipation and reward. Of course then you get the coffee and it’s nothing, you just start the clock over.
But in the absence of looking forward to, say, the end of your day in any real way, or going home, the mind leaps at the chance to divide the hours, to assign structure or a point of any kind.
Anyway my point is that including that detail right at the beginning, his obsession with those things, I felt it was a very clever way to get me thinking about the bleakness of their existence.
What if the crying baby is something from Dylan's past? What if he lost a child and that cry is his break room trigger? His current son might be a sibling or an adopted "replacement".
Or he has more than one child at home.
This is what I was wondering. Maybe it was a loss or- bear with me here- maybe Dylan's outtie shook his child. The reason I even consider that possibility (and I don't necessarily think that I'm correct) is because the MDR team loosely corresponds with the four temperaments: Mark being woe in his grief for Gemma, Helly being frolic for her idealistic faith in Lumon, Irving being dread due to the fear of what he could uncover during his investigation, which could leave Dylan with malice. Dylan doesn't seem like a malicious guy in general, but shaking a baby is certainly an act of malice and it's sadly common for overtired, overwhelmed new parents to shake their babies. If Dylan shook his baby and it ended up suffering from SBS or death, I could definitely see Dylan undergoing severance in order to escape the internal hell that would cause.
Or I'm just a silly head. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think Dylan got cheated on and divorced his wife, getting his children as a single dad bc she left. When he instructs Helly to think about something she truly feels sorry for he mentions his outie “bangjng milfs…but then feeling sorry for the guy”. And as hard as the company tried to get him alone they couldn’t separate him from dad duties to retrieve the lost item. Not sure if Milchik is lying about 3 kids but that would make sense for him to take high pay at Lumon to justify the child support expenses and help sever his memories of loss like Mark did
I just thought he heard the goats like Helly and Mark did
Dylan is by far my favorite character in Severance. Love him
His honesty is refreshing. He's hard not to love!
That tracks. I have similar love.
Naw, Ricken is the 🐐
I think many have encountered a colleague who initially presents as really obnoxious, and who ends up being a beloved friend (while still being obnoxious). Dylan's character arc over the season was so moving, his sacrifice in episode 10 so beautiful. Zach Cherry is great. I'm really glad I found this channel.
Dylan is raising his son on his own. So he is a father and mother to his child that's why he knows he can do something that needs 2 people to be done
These deep dive videos are the only thing keeping me from going crazy until season 2
For real!! It’s about time already!!
My theory about the sounds they hear in the break room is they're sounds that their outies know. For instance Dylan hears a crying baby, which could be one of his, and Helly hears an old grumpy man, like her father
Agreed, also they could be sounds that specifically invoke feelings of remorse or guilt to aid in them giving a “sincere” apology in the breakroom. Helly describes the voice as angry, and Dylan’s crying baby is consistent with this idea I think. Cmon S2 plz
Dylan ended up being the MVP of Severance. I’m so ready to see more of his backstory and his antics in season 2!
This series is too good, I haven't been this obsessed with a show since LOST, I just really hope they won't stretch the show for too long, maybe three or four tight seasons and wrap it up.
Described this show to my friend as a cross between Lost and The Office
So good I had to watch multiple times 😁 I like the way Severance has subverted our expectations about Dylan. Introduced as the guy in the office who is all about the rewards, cynical, and seemingly rather selfish and materialistic. Yet his emergence as a hero is totally believable. He applies his determination and work ethic to the goals of the group in opposition to Lumon, once he is given a reason to do so (for his family outside, and his refiner family inside). I’m so curious to learn more about Dylan’s outie - who the heck is this guy?!
So true! The writers gave him the perfect reason to pivot towards becoming a willing hero. Honestly, all four MDR members have become formidable adversaries to Lumon with legitimate motivations the audience can relate to. It's going to get interesting in season two!
Dylan knows knots. He was a boy scout and earned more merit badges and his Eagle scout before anyone else.
I accidentally fall into your channel and watched one of your theories about Severance. I like the way you talk, your method of analysis and even the sense of humor you put in these videos. Keep them coming, Nautilus! Greetings from Spain.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind comment :)
The last theory - that he’s just trying to get away from his stressful family life - resonates most with me. I could see outtie Dylan having a similar dreamer-quality to innie Dylan. Maybe the outtie likes not knowing what he does all day, and just imagining that whatever it is is top secret and therefore kind of glamorous, or “mysterious and important”
I don’t read more into the “we’re here because we’re not all there” than it being about them being severed, part of a person.
Love this analysis as always. Dylan is SUCH a great character because the show lulls you into this sense he's comic relief (as you note) but he's SO layered. Love that a character who may have been superficial in another show is utilized so well here. The scene between he and Irving is *chef's kiss*. So dynamic and nuanced. Thanks again for great analysis. Looking forward to your deep dives into other shows too!!
Hey Colleen! Always a pleasure! Yeah, I think most of the time, a character like Dylan or Irving would have been relegated to playing support to Mark, and they would probably have focused on the romantic potential between Mark and Helly. I love the fact that they chose to give us four well-rounded and uniquely different protags to experience the story through. Subverted expectations? I'm here for it 🙌
Thank you!! I absolutely love Dylan, despite him being the least similar to me, and in real life, someone who would annoy me no end. That's good writing and acting. That's really the joy of this show for me: come for the sci-fi premise, stay for the mystery, become completely invested because of these amazing multi-layered characters, who you begin to bond with as they begin to bond with each other.
Once again, great job on an insightful video; I pretty much agree with everything you said, but I love to hear you say it. You have a great voice and delivery! Keep up the fantastic work.
I can honestly say that like every character on this show. I can't remember the last time I've come across a cast/script with this kind of emotional draw.
7:25 “fuck you mr. Milchick!” Is so iconic lol, amazing video as always❤ i do love Dylan’s character and i can’t wait for season 2!
If there's one line we will never forget, it's that one!
Dylan made that sacrifice to not do “overtime” cause he knows he wouldn’t be able to pull away from his son and it would ruin the mission.
Just finished the show. Really loved it. Love the characters and story. Very different from most show.
Great video.
I decided to check out this show at 9 or 10 last night and finished it as the sun came up. So good! I’m really enjoying your videos
Awesome! Thank you!
When Dylan quoted the book revealing that he knows Mark had been reading the book and that he’s been reading it himself. I was like LETS GOOOOOO I knew Dylan was solid! 😂
Its crazy how good these videos are - I look forward to each video and thank you so much for the hard work to make these thoughtful videos
Thanks, Ben!
Ok thank you for mentioning that a severed parent couldn't respond to emergencies with their outtie kids...how have i never thought of that before. Gosh so many things to think about!!!
I didn't think about it until the making of this video. It was one of those "Hey... waitaminit!" moments 😂
@@nautilusfiles Honestly they could do an entire redo of season 1 but from the POV of spouses/families of severed people and I'd watch for sure.
If there was an emergency with an Outtie kid, they outside contact could reach Milchik and Lumon and they could be excused for the day that way. Basically, it's the same way it used to be when someone worked somewhere that they didn't have access to a phone. The office is the intermediary.
I'll be honest... I think I'd seriously consider severance if it was a real thing. Blinking and being done with work? Sounds like a dream come true.
You and me, both! I can think of a few ways I would use it to erase some of the more unpleasant parts of my day-to-day.
I know it was real my innie would 100% kill themselves.
I would have, before I saw this show.
You're forgetting one thing, he got severed because he asked Spiderman to do a flip, and then witnessed Shang-Chi best up some dudes on a bus. He simply couldn't handle the superheroes following him.
😂😂💀
I didn’t read through all the comments so sorry if this is already brought up! I feel like there is possibility he may be a “bad father” and that’s why he severed. When Irving comes to the office and says “hi kids, what’s for dinner?” Then Dylan makes the comment something to the affect of “are the kids making dinner? Sounds like you’re a bad father” or something like that. I wonder if that was a little hint to how he might feel as an outie and it’s seeping into his innie life. Idk! That was just a little thing I noticed. Love your videos!!
thanks, Emily! I like this theory! It fits in with the baby/child references that always seem to arise around his character. Imagine the gut-wrenching that comes when innie learns that he is a bad father. I think it would make for a compelling story arc for Dylan.
You do such a great job with these videos! Thanks for making them. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Thank you very much! Appreciate the kind comment!
Dylan is the real glue tying the severance floor together but you don’t realize it until he’s all like FUCK YOU MR. MILCHICK!! And he was cast PERFECTLY!! And the Dylan and Irving dynamic?! Chef’s kiss.
You are doing a brilliant job with these Severance videos. I’m hooked!
Love your videos(and your voice)! My wife and I have been watching them all recently. Please keep up the great content!
Thanks, Zachary! Love to hear it!
When I see a new severance video from you it automatically puts a smile on my face! Thank you for making these videos for us. Love your peaceful voice
Thanks, Laura! Comments like yours make it worthwhile. It's inspiring and keeps me wanting to work on the next one :)
Your videos are simply fantastic - they're entertaining and I'm so impressed by your insights. Thanks for this one on the badass known as Dylan G. Keep up the great work!
Something I found odd about the Dylan OTC scene is that both Milcheck and Cobel were out of the security room when he was switched on, but we know there needs to be 2 people operating the switches to keep the innie active. Who was manning the switches?
Good question! It's a major mystery. We don't know of anyone else that could, besides Graner and Cobel, so there must be characters in play that we have yet to learn about.
Multiple Milchicks is a theory I’ve seen a couple times - not for this scenario specifically, but it fits.
Thanks for your great commentary and analysis! I also appreciate your calm demeanor, so many of these sites are loud and annoying. Your voice is soothing for me at the end of a long day! Keep up the good work! I can't wait for the next season of Severance.
I care about Dylan so much! Love all your Severance videos, and enjoy hearing your thoughts and voice. Happy I followed your channel!
Dylan is the Dwight Schrute of Severance and they're rounding him out a lot earlier than Dwight from the Office did
My first impression of Dylan was that he was a workaholic before, and he took the severance job so that he would stop working overtime and could be fully present for his family 🤷🏻♀️
I love Dylan. He has the saddest story out of all the innies.
Commenting for algorithm
Awesome! Thank you!
I have a theory that Milchek and Dylan might be friends as Outties. Maybe Seth is Dylans neighbors and they are somewhat friends. Milchek is kinda Dylans handler like Cobel/Selvig is with Mark.
Yeah, totally agree. I can see this being the case, just like Selveig and Mark's relationship on the outside. I bet there are several employees tasked with keeping an eye on the severed folks to make sure they aren't doing anything that could compromise Lumon.
“burt? i know that guy, he’s a FUCK.” fav dylan quote.
His children being overwhelming, as a reson for being severed, I don't and can't buy. Because it would actually make it worse. From outie Dylan's perspective, he leaves home, and goes to work, to almost instantly be back at home. It's not like the time the inie is working, is "rest" for outie Dylan.
Your videos are legendary.
Thank you, Prentice! I enjoy making them, so I'm glad to hear that!
One thing I wish you would have gone more into is his conspiratorial nature. Despite not believing in the Lumon cult philosophy, he firmly believes that O&D are evil and committed a violent coup. That's a pretty insane belief coming from the one who is supposed to be rational and reward driven. That belief compells him so much that he brazenly insults the O&D team and does all he can to prevent Irving from being friends with Burt, including locking Burt in a room. So although the Lumon philosophy that Irving was indoctrinated by never got to Dylan, other Lumon propagandas did get to him. It's also surprising that he alone believes in this mortal feud between MDR and O&D. Mark denies that O&D is a violent entity in the same way Dylan dismisses Irving's obsession with the Eagan lore.
Dylan also thinks the numbers are related to getting rid of the eels in the sea because of an apocalypse. That's also pretty crazy thinking. Some of the things he believes about the outside world are so ridiculous that it's not clear to me whether he is earnest and naive or dry and sarcastic.
I will also say that Dylan was one of my least favorite characters in the show and I don't really get why everyone loves him so much. Not to say I didn't enjoy this video, as I do all of yours.
I think the whole O&D conspiracy thing was cooked up by management to keep the departments suspicious of one another. Lumon is probably afraid of them conspiring or the formation of an uprising from within. It is interesting that Dylan fully believes the propaganda while the others don't, though. Perhaps he is just not as trusting of a person as most. His initial distrust of Helly is a good example of that.
He annoys me too lol. But I hope they tie up his crazy conspiracy theories at some point, so they amount to something. Otherwise he was annoying for no reason at all.
Dude your videos are great!
Great insights and enthusiasm!
Thanks, Michael! I appreciate the kind words :)
Dylan G. was my favorite from the get-go, but mostly because my favorites are always shitty dudes™. Seeing him develop and have the opportunity to grow stolen out from beneath him just made all the stronger a character to me.
Love the guy. Smart and a smart ass. Perfect combo.
Dylan and Milchick are by far my two favorite characters! I love Dylan’s take-no-prisoners attitude and the many faces of Milchick always keeps me guessing. Great writing and fantastic acting!
I LOVE your videos, man! …especially the beginning of this one with Dave Chappelle! Gold! I cracked up. I’m getting antsy for season two! Thank you!!
LOL that came from a buddy of mine when we were talking about Dylan, and I just had to put in the video. Glad you liked it 😂😂🙌
Had to subscribe. I love these character analysis! And your voice is made for these kind of videos! Will you be uploading a video on an analysis of the ending?
Hey, thanks! You mean like a breakdown of the final episode? Had not planned on it, but that does sound like a good idea 👍
@@nautilusfiles yes! 😊
Your channel is so underrated man
Thank you! Love to hear that!
All innies are slaves. They do the work but the outtie gets the paycheck. The innies get two tokens a day for snacks and they literally know no life except work - they get in the elevator at the end of the day, the door closes and when it opens a split second later its the next day and they are right back to work. Its like Helly trying to get out of the stairwell. I'm surprised Mark knew it was a weekend.
My initial take on Dylan, given that he's obviously a workaholic of sorts, was that he chose to get severed so he could leave work at work and enjoy more quality time with his kids. I'm not sure, after my third watch of S1, if this interpretation still holds water, especially given the proximity to trauma theory for MDR folks.
I've watched Severance season 1 twice. The first time I watched it, Helly was my favorite character. The second time I watched it, Dylan was my favorite character. This video was a good depiction of showcasing Dylan's character.
Have you seen the tv series, "From"?
this show has SO many built in memes I hope it catches fire, seems like it because i only just became aware of it a few months ago
In a world where I thought the company was not evil, I don't think having kids would be a hindrance to getting severed. Because you would never experience the time that you didn't know you had kids. To you, it would just feel like you are conscious 24/7 and always knew you had kids.
Another great video!
Thanks, BOP! I need to catch up on your latest :)
I love all of Severance's characters. They're all very well built.
Dylan’s a great character.
He really does have the strength of two men since he was able to pull both levers to activate overtime 😂
Good analysis, thanks!
Dylan is incredibly perceptive yet gives zero fucks about the Lumon “vision”… love it!
King, icon, legend ❤
Thanks for pointing out how Dylan gave sacrifice - you were spot on about how that says something important about his character.
Excellent video as usual, Nautilus Files!
Thanks, John! For a character that has not had much screen time, he's shown himself to be multifaceted and complex.
Yay new video!
😃🙌
Zach Cherry is awesome! I loved him in You, the way he interacted with Joe Goldberg. Dylan is a true equal with the other three MDR workers, and, despite how reward-driven he appears on the surface, he truly cares about his coworkers.
Speculating on his backstory, my guess is that Dylan lost a child. Perhaps an infant, which is why they have him hear a crying baby when he’s in the break room. He might have forgotten to check on the baby or left the baby somewhere while he was doing something to reward himself - like eating a big plate of delicious waffles. His guilt over the death of the infant was so overwhelming that he chose to be severed so he could escape the bad feelings for eight hours a day.
He strikes me as a guy who tends to feel like an outsider, but who wants desperately to belong. He uses sarcasm to push others away even as he longs to be friends with them. (I’m pretty much exactly like him in that respect.) He’s incredibly loyal to his "family" and will do anything to protect them. He really wants to do the right thing and he also yearns to be seen as a hero - which he is at the end of the season. He’s the guy who makes it all happen.
I share a similar opinion of him, and I think the lost child theory is a good one. A haunting memory of a crying child is likely related to some deeply traumatic event related to his own kid. Dylan seems like the classic workaholic bro and that could very well the attitude that caused his tragedy on the outside.
Usually those corporate keepsakes are etched out of clear acrylic rather than glass, and companies definitely hand those out as "perks". You can buy a 3D laser etching machine that works with several materials for about $18,000.
In regards to Dylan possibly being a bad father, Dylan jokingly calls Irving a shitty father. Also, I thought it was interesting how Dylan grabbed his belt to lock Burt in the conference room. It's interesting that the first thing he did when angry was grab his belt.
here is my weird theory
4 mdr, 4 temper
mark is there because of woe, to escape his sadness.
irving is there for malice to destroy lumon from inside trying to force himself to go in test room by influencing his subconscient with paintings.
Helena is there for frolic she goes there happily wanting the approval of her father.
Dylan is probably going there out of dread. I assume one of his child is sick and lumon provides healthcare technology or benefit in some way.
I’m late to the Severance game, but I’m hooked now. Something I don’t feel I’ve really seen addressed in this and other videos about Dylan and Milchick is why outie Dylan didn’t seem at all surprised that Milcheck was in his house (unless they are partners, which I find unlikely), or question why he was there.
I wonder if things would have changed had Helly not shown up. Since Petey was already reaching out to oMark, would iMark have eventually started questioning things for some reason? Would he have ever found the map. That timing tho on Helly arriving and iMark finding the map because he changed the photo and Petey showing up around oMark at the same time.
Hey, Heather! Good question. Mark seemed to have no idea Petey was having doubts or was having trouble at work, which I find strange. Dan Erickson made it seem like Helly was destined for MDR, and if Lumon had big plans to use her in their PR stunt to get legislation passed, you would think it would be time sensitive. Somebody had to cut from MDR. I don't know how that would have worked had he not went and got himself deprogrammed? Unless he was on his way out for other reasons and his reintegration was a preemptive decision to get out before they "fire" him?
Reghabi and Cobel both mention that there is group of resistors within Lumon that are trying to bring the org down. Petey was likely one of them, but there are probably others we aren't aware of yet.
Dylan!!!!
Irene!!! :D
Another excellent video! Thanks! I love these deep dive character analysis vids. I didn't take D hearing a crying baby as trauma related to his kids but that's interesting. I know Milchick told him he had 2? more kids. I was thinking maybe one was an infant. Obviously his kids were out the night of the Overtime Contingency. Curious question about that though is _How would Milchick know this?_ (Know that they would be out. Not that he has more kids).
Good question. I don't know that he did know they were out. (TBH, I don't know that I believe they exist). I think he would have shown up to retrieve that card -no matter what- to save his bacon 😂.
@@nautilusfiles "TBH, I don't know that I believe they exist" Oh wow, that's crazy! I never thought of that but with this show you really have to think of it all because they could go anywhere with this story. You think they could possibly be Severance subjects? And, this is why he wouldn't have cared if they witnessed this or not? We still have that nagging question we were talking about so many videos ago - that (why) Dylan's child wasn't afraid of Milchick. He didn't seem alarmed at all, and more importantly he "listened" to Milchick's directions to "sit and count."
@@TrishD33LGK yeah, exactly. That could be it. I think that whole town is full of severed and unsevered that work for Lumon and they might have whole households involved. I would not be surprised if Dylan's partner works in Lumon and might even be someone we've seen already. His kid's non reaction to Milchick is weird tho, and I still don't have an answer for that one. Best guess is he's familiar with Milchick, like we said, because of the neighbors theory. Cobel lives next to an employee, so it could be that M does too.
As for the other kids, I wonder if Milchick told him that to get him to open the door, knowing that his kid was the reason for his mutiny in the first place. Just offer him more kids lol. He would have said anything. If those kids are real, I bet they are the ones he heard crying in the breakroom. Something happened to them, and it's related to why he chose to be severed.
@@nautilusfiles Yeah, there was definitely no "stranger danger" happening with his son. And, I agree about the break room baby crying that's what I said up top. Just a guess tho like everything is with this show.
Dylan G is growing on me ... might be my fav character in the show ... its close between Dylan and Hellie
For some reason when I went to watch this show, I told myself I didn’t like the actor that played Dylan, I must’ve confused him with someone else, because as the show went on I absolutely loved his character and the actor. Dylan made the show at times!
Just saw that Apple gave a nod to Severance at their event. They had a Helly R lookalike getting onto a train, ended w the Severance music. It's on here but I don't think I can add links. It was a month ago and I didn't hear a thing about it. I only stumbled on it when I googled the season 2 start date. As for that, they only just started filming so it will be awhile.
Oh, yeah! I saw that... I think it was on Reddit? If I find the link again, I'll try to pin it up!
@@nautilusfiles I am not a reddit user I stumbled across it on a regular google search for the season 2 premier. I then looked on here and it's on here too.
The most powerful moment in this entire season is when Dylan G went off on Milchick and tgen revealed they could be awakened in the outside world while in the supplies closet. It was an honest scebe, and really brought how depressing/ dehumanizing and unfair their roles truly were
as innies. Imagine you know you have a kid you're close too, who loves you but you can never interact or play with him. Gutwrenching.😢
Tha KING👑
You're too kind, Gheahk! Thanks for coming through 🙌
DYELAN DYELAN DYELAN
😂😂💀
I have to say that in the closet seen when mill check finished and Dylan said are we good yet the response immediately made me think that they were in cahoots somehow like maybe dealing with one of them on the inside or something else not sure what to think now
That's a possibility for sure. Having him play the double-agent would be an amazing twist. I'm here for it!
Dylan is literally me at work 😭
I loooove the theory that Dylan got severed to escape his home life. Would set up a similar inne vs. outie situation to Helly, where their goals are diametrically opposed. I love Dylan so much, he's probably my favorite character next to Cobel, for completely different reasons. I find myself routinely thinking about his "FUCK YOU MR. MILCHECK" all the time.
Right!? Helly's alter ego being her own worst enemy works so well. I could see something similar working for Dylan. Imagine the self-loathing that would come from finding out that he was trying to escape his kid the whole time!
You know what? Why didn’t Dylan G get the promotion to supervisor instead of Mark? Dylan is obviously the best employee.
Dylan is the goat
The most important aspect of Dylan is that his delt's are embarrassingly huge. I bet he and Milchick do muscle shows together.
"embarrassingly huge" 😂
Dylan is a sweetie pie.
My guess is he is a family man making a sacrifice for medical bills. It aligns with everything we know about him. He doesn't like the company, or what larger financially successful companies are up to, but he's doing what he has to out of a sense of duty. He also has shown himself to be self sacrificing when it came time for it.
I went from cringing every time Dylan spoke to now he's my favorite character! He Grew on me after like several episodes 😅
Did anybody catch when Dylan said “Yeah what kind of a shit dad are you?” To Irving when they were talking about the “hey kids what’s for dinner” joke in the first episode? That moment felt like it was cinematically design to stick out a little
I love Dylan, my fav and then Milchick
I think Dylan is definitely bad in the outie world and a hero in the innie world
I always wondered if the doctor lady oMark meets, the one that used to do the severed procedures, was Dylan’s wife. Or.. mom? 😅
Reghabi? Hey, you never know! I get the sense that Dylan's partner is not anyone we know yet, but I would love to find out that I'm wrong about that.
Dylan and milchick my favorite
Mine too…
