Amazing finale!

“She’s alive!!!”

Same here! I thought maybe Helly would get stopped by Cobel or switched back before she could make any outbursts but nope she did! So many repercussions now that Lumon knows and Mark’s family knows and Cobel/Selvig is outed. What’s happening next?? How long do we have to wait until next season? Great stuff.

It was fantastic. I couldn’t look away. Keep thinking any moment that switch could be flipped. So tense!

They really built up for a second season here. So many cliffhangers...

My three thoughts as it ended:

Irving's outie wanted him to find that chest (it has a circle on HIS house and Burt's so the innie would find it). He even wrote "Dad" on the back of his picture. I mean, there is something going on there.

I thought Cobel was going to help Mark, but clearly she has some ulterior plan going on, though I'm unsure it's in Lumon's best interests.

Will Mark's sister think Mark is talking about the baby when he screams "she's alive"? Probably. His innie does know his wife is alive so that should be interesting when he 'wakes' up, unless they wipe his memory.

Enjoyed the season finale. Where does it go from here? I assume they will somehow get the crew back to the office.

The way the season ended they were nowhere near getting them back. All of the innies now seem to want nothing to do with Lumon. They just have to convince their outies to stop bringing them back to work.

Dylan will be the easiest - he is already at work and does not know what has transpired while he held the controls. How was he able to hold that position for so long?! His outie does not have any clues that his innie wants out.

Helly's outie is antagonistic towards her innie so when she gets control back she will probably continue her speech as if she is joking. She can then take herself back to work.

Irv's outie probably wakes up not knowing what happened and goes back to work with some suspicion.

Mark is the character that would seem hardest to coral back to the office. His outie is already very suspicious and was considering quitting anyway. His innie now knows his wife is alive and shouted it to all the people present at the house. When his outie wakes up there will be a lot of confusion. It seems like between what his innie told his sister added to his existing apprehension he would not be going back on his own.

Maybe Mark stays on the outside and tries to find his wife and free his officemates.

Yes, 'amazing fnale', when you don't have to answer any of the questions this thing raises from the very first episode onwards.

It's easy to write an 'amazing finale,' when you don't have to actually EXPLAIN anything - explanation is hard.

What was the corporation doing, what was its purpose? Why did they fire the witch? Why would the witch be LOYAL to the corporation that just heartlessly fired her? Why would the 'security' even let her in? If a non-employee can just WALTZ in, then couldn't ANYONE? I thought the corporation was STRICT about outer world not being let in without tight control, but the guard isn't even at his spot most of the time. What gives? Wouldn't it make more sense if she realized how evil the corporation is and how she wants REVENGE, and thus her helping the protagonists?

What happened to the wife, if she didn't die in the car crash, and why? Why would she choose to be severed and YET work in the same corporation as her husband, if she goes to the lengths of faking her own death to avoid her (stalky?) husband? Alternatively, why doesn't she contact her dear husband, why would she let him believe she died in a car accident - is she a sadist or what? You can't have it both ways!

What happens with everyone's story, it was not finished! I was waiting to see the end RESULT of their hard work and my hard waiting through nine tediously plodding episodes that go nowhere for the most of the time. This is damn cheating!

The most burning question of all - HOW are you able to waste the audience's time for NINE episodes without giving us ANY ANSWERS at all? It's like almost one episode of 'worthwile' intrique and mystery, and nine full episodes of just useless filler (if you take all the useless shots, the slow-plodding sceneries, camera pans, the red herrings, the 'nothings' and the long stares and endless hallway walks, you could condense the useful stuff easily into less than one episode and then start giving us some answers in the second one!)

Last show was cute. delivered some gotchas as it damn well should have after 8 hours.

BUT, it resolved nothing, and will probably never end, to keep milking out paid seasons.... like most banal "TV Shows".
