Suspense Suspense and Uhhhhhhh Suspense

Man, I haven't been in that much suspense watching a movie since the scene in Silence of the Lambs where Buffalo Bill turned the lights off in the basement and slipped on his night vision glasses.

The forty minute runtime felt like ten. This series just keeps wowing me with its originality. Full of fresh ideas and storytelling .

A+++

Are you kidding?!

How can we wait a year after such an episode??

I could barely wait a week for this one.

Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire ride. Such a thrill. I need more.

Mindblowing.

Great ending !!!

The last 5 minutes omg this is amazing TV. Apple TV is killing it with WeCrashed and Severance. Amazing and great shows. The build up to this episode was what made the ending so great.

This episode is the definition of suspense

This episode was one of the most suspenseful things I have seen in a while. There was hardly a second where I could catch my breath. There was so much revealed while so many more layers were added to be explored in the second season. The only problem is that we'll have to wait a while to get a resolution to the many cliffhangers. The music really helped intensify this episode that was perfectly directed.

Magnum opus! 👍

Absolutely stupendous! My gargantuan expectations going into this season finale were eclipsed by this ground breaking masterpiece!

Events from the previous instalment confronted the 'innies' with their 'outie' reality and that continues, complete with shocking and transformative implications. Unique television, though it has a whiff of the machine sentience-awakening in West World.

An excellent finale in its own right answering questions and giving closure, yet at the same time swamping the senses with an array of questions, perfectly setting up season 2. I for one cannot wait!

Trivia
The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score).

Goofs
Irving as an Innie would never have encountered a car before and would theoretically have no knowledge of what one did or how it operated. The characters repeatedly reference things on the severed floor and seem baffled by what they would be or how they would function in the outside world, so a car would probably fall into the same.

Quotes
Natalie Kalen: But I'm here tonight to tell you that we are on the verge of a revolution. A kind and empathetic revolution that puts the human being at the center of industry. And yes, it's a business revolution too. We need no longer see those ideas as mutually exclusive, because the truth is we can have all of it. Increased productivity, improvements in morale... a happier workplace. A happier world. It's a vision that was first dreamed up by a humble military doctor you may know named Kier Eagan. A man who saw humans in agony and decided we could do better. He may never have seen a Severance chip in his lifetime, but it represents his elegant and gentle philosophy made manifest.

Crazy credits
Unlike in earlier episodes, the text of the two initial credits/titles at the start of the opening sequence flickers briefly, echoing the recurring motif of people's selves switching between their "innie" and their "outie" state.
