Quick thought: #Severance is a show that is best binged. The continuity of the innies being trapped down on the severed floor is best “felt” by binging. Which is why I think I enjoyed S01 so much. S02 continues to thrill but the weekly releases don’t bend time as compellingly!

@irgarner @TheBearFX Back in my day, when X was Twitter, you made your point in 140 characters or less. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Hence today’s cramming of lengthy celebrity names into seemingly indecipherable acronyms, and other contractions. Should I take up more space? Maybe. Hey, lo-
