Television

Not sure where to put this but was so sad to hear of the passing of John Kraman of Mecum Auto Auction fame. I’m a huge fan of the broadcasted auctions and use them as an escape from the world, and will really rely on them these next few years.

I will really miss him on the broadcasts as he was just so knowledgeable and entertaining when talking about cars on the block. I turned on the live broadcast of Day 1 of Kissimmee this morning and they led with the news, which I had missed since Monday.

Rest in peace Professor.
 
There had to have been some kind of weird, really long running intensive to prepare for the show because there is such a distinct, visually satisfying way the characters run through hallways in Severance that makes me smile from ear to ear every time it happens.

Apparently the hallway running scene at the beginning took 3 months to film.

EDIT: Apparently on and off for the first 5-6 months of production.

I'm watching Silo season 2 finally and the willpower I would have to have to not drown Steve Zahn's character...

I'm making my way through S2 also, but I feel the dialog is getting worse and worse. And yeah, Solo is pretty annoying.

Let's talk about how amazing of a character Mr Milcheck is. One of the most smiling but completely terrifying characters since Gus Fring. Even more so IMO.

Exactly! I love anytime he is on screen.

I have a question for Severance watchers who watched S2E1

When Mark S gets to the Wellness Room after his hallway run, he sees it's not the wellness room any longer. In the background there is a man in a suit. We see about half of him before he leaves the shot, and it's not Milchik. I watched it again and can only assume it was one of the new team members. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Common is a horrible actor. I don't know how he keeps getting roles.

Ladies love him.
I liken it to Heather Graham, or Denise Richards continuing to get roles in the 90s. It's mind boggling just how terrible they both are, but were at the same time, everywhere. Never underestimate the power of attractiveness.

I mentioned how bad he was to my wife and she's said basically "yeah, but he's pretty".

My wife just yells at the screen “where did you get that leather jacket dumbass?!?!”

We both think that was a character decision that he demanded.

Oh 100%, everyone is in ratty clothing and dude's up there looking like a boss. It's definitely in his contract...it makes no logical sense. Where is the leather even coming from? I mean, aren't we like hundreds of years past the age of cows?

Heather Graham was great in Twin Peaks. That was the first thing I saw her in.
 
Just finished the new Neflix miniseries American Primeval. It's 6 episodes, about 1 hour each. It's fucking brilliant. One of the best shows I've seen. I'm sitting here trying to think what would keep me from giving this thing a 10/10 rating.. And I really can't think of anything. HIGHLY recommend. Taylor Kitsch is such an underrated actor, too.

We're only 2 episodes in so far but absolutely loving it as well. Its violent and intense as hell, which isn't a complaint, just an observation. And because of that I feel like I need to be in the right mood to watch it and also take a few days at least between episodes. It's fantastic. It really does an incredible job of portraying just how brutal that time period must have been.

Yeah, I binged it over two days. Brutal is a great descriptor, and, yes, its portrayal of the brutality of that time was incredible. Hope you enjoy the rest of the show! Episode 3 was rough..

I wonder if we'll see more of these little background clues during the season? I'm guessing for now it just means they're being watched not just by cameras but physically by (management?) people too?
