Saw a “hang in there” poster with an outline of Dylan holding the otc switches in the break room😭 I love this show

[u/afterdark-afterlight]

okay ben wyatt i see you with that claymation!

[u/SteppeTalus]

I don’t know how but the water tower is gonna come in to play later

[u/whitegirlofthenorth]

Not a coincidence Lumon was founded in 1865. Slavery revamped, and now they’re also testing child labor.

A lot of purple (blue + red, innie + outie). Someone is not what they seem.

[u/VoteForPiggy]

The way Irv adjusted Dyaln’s glasses 🥹

[u/AlexHasFeet]

WTF.

It says “ITNO: 25.0 (BUILD)”

Is this the 25th time she’s been refined?

[u/Christovajal]

I’m not looking forward to finding out what the Mirror Room is

[u/lilronhubbard]

The mirror room is going to be terrifying.

[u/GLTheGameMaster]

Keanu Reeves being the silly building in the video had me absolutely dying, I couldn’t believe it

A few things I noticed:

There is a large crate with a pillow or blanket in it, recently opened, in Milchick’s office. Is this where Ms. Huang was stored?

The newspaper is obviously fake, I believe that photo is the team photo Milchick took in S1 poorly photoshopped into a shot from ~~Kennedy assassination photos.~~The article lists the location as “Kier, PE” The article refers to them all by their innie names and refers to Milchick as Mr.Milchick, as the innies would. The other article on the page refers to a breakthrough at Lumon in plastics recycling at cold temperatures.

The newspaper is volume 51,309 and it has been running since 1893 putting us at roughly 2035

The claymation globe shows severe ocean level rises. The west coast of the americas is completely reshaped. There are two Lumon locations on the Pacific Northwest of the Americas. I’d guess one of these is their location. Ireland and most of the UK is under water. Mexico appears to be partially under water, opening access between the gulf and pacific.There is no arctic ice and Canada has a whole lot more green land above the arctic circle. Also, Milchick has a photo of a glacier in his office

Edit: As others have pointed out, the photo they are superimposed onto is from Dwight Eisenhower visiting Rio De Janeiro in 1960

Edit 2: When Mark runs to the wellness center, a man that appears to be a duplicate of Mark is briefly seen in the hallway, staring at Mark. He turns into a corridor before Mark turns around.
