@@tylergee3043 I suspect that using the OT protocol was something that Milchick did just to cover his own ass, and he did it without Cobel's knowledge. It was a pretty stupid thing to do, but he consistently underestimates the innies' intelligence and capabilities throughout the show, and didn't realize that letting one of them know about the OT protocol would galvanize them to try using it. (Additionally, who exactly was it that was activating it back at the office? There was definitely at least one person back at the office who Milchick was talking to, more likely two, but we don't see them and there no obvious candidates for who it could be.) What I'm more confused about is why Dylan took the card in the first place? At first I assumed he was going to use it as evidence that O&D was plotting against MDR, but he never brings it up to the others, and he just leaves it behind a toilet for some reason.

My own theory is that Dylan was bringing stress from work to his home and maybe taking it out on his family, so he went severed to avoid lashing out at them more. Great video btw!

That's REALLY good

My thought is that he can't leave work at work by nature, and that is why he decided to sever. He is intelligent, good at work, really driven, even obsessive...the drawback to this is that he tends to take it home with him. For someone with 3 kids and a wife, it will be very problematic. Money may be a factor. But to sever at 5 PM is a blessing for a family man.

A detail that nobody mentions... the delts Everyone remembers the scene where Dylan is dreaming out loud about his outie, and said that his "delts are ridiculous" and that he does muscle shows for sure. I wonder if it's intentional foreshadowing to the time that he held down two distantly placed buttons to activate the remote severance of the other 3. That position (arms held outward and upward for a long period of time) is the ultimate delt exercise, and holding out his arms like that for like 20 minutes is literally a world-class feat... and I'm sure his ridiculous delts were ON FIRE the whole time!

My favorite line from the show thus far is Dylan's "F*** you, Mr. Milchick!" Only Dylan would curse someone while still deferentially using their professional title :) And one big observation is that they did not wipe Dylan's memory after his OTC. I guess that means that they either can't, or they can't do so with just selective memories, or that they didn't bother because they did not think of Dylan as a threat. I am curious if this will come up in season 2. And again, wonderful review. Dylan is indeed MVP!

You know, his enthusiasm for the trinkets is funny on one level, and it also caused me to really reflect deeply on how empty the innies’ lives are, to the point that they have to find meaning and motivation in such small things. I’ve spent time in a couple varieties of secure facility, I remember in the bleakest, most stimulation-free one I was ever in, they would make (decaf) coffee every few hours and give it to us, and in between every coffee break you’d just sit there, watching the clock, waiting for the next coffee, it was like my brain had to create some kind of anticipation and reward. Of course then you get the coffee and it’s nothing, you just start the clock over. But in the absence of looking forward to, say, the end of your day in any real way, or going home, the mind leaps at the chance to divide the hours, to assign structure or a point of any kind. Anyway my point is that including that detail right at the beginning, his obsession with those things, I felt it was a very clever way to get me thinking about the bleakness of their existence.

This is what I was wondering. Maybe it was a loss or- bear with me here- maybe Dylan's outtie shook his child. The reason I even consider that possibility (and I don't necessarily think that I'm correct) is because the MDR team loosely corresponds with the four temperaments: Mark being woe in his grief for Gemma, Helly being frolic for her idealistic faith in Lumon, Irving being dread due to the fear of what he could uncover during his investigation, which could leave Dylan with malice. Dylan doesn't seem like a malicious guy in general, but shaking a baby is certainly an act of malice and it's sadly common for overtired, overwhelmed new parents to shake their babies. If Dylan shook his baby and it ended up suffering from SBS or death, I could definitely see Dylan undergoing severance in order to escape the internal hell that would cause. Or I'm just a silly head. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think Dylan got cheated on and divorced his wife, getting his children as a single dad bc she left. When he instructs Helly to think about something she truly feels sorry for he mentions his outie “bangjng milfs…but then feeling sorry for the guy”. And as hard as the company tried to get him alone they couldn’t separate him from dad duties to retrieve the lost item. Not sure if Milchik is lying about 3 kids but that would make sense for him to take high pay at Lumon to justify the child support expenses and help sever his memories of loss like Mark did

When Irving comes to the office and says “hi kids, what’s for dinner?” Then Dylan makes the comment something to the affect of “are the kids making dinner? Sounds like you’re a bad father” or something like that. I wonder if that was a little hint to how he might feel as an outie and it’s seeping into his innie life. Idk!

Dylan is the Dwight Schrute of Severance and they're rounding him out a lot earlier than Dwight from the Office did

Dude your videos are great!

One thing I wish you would have gone more into is his conspiratorial nature. Despite not believing in the Lumon cult philosophy, he firmly believes that O&D are evil and committed a violent coup. That's a pretty insane belief coming from the one who is supposed to be rational and reward driven. That belief compells him so much that he brazenly insults the O&D team and does all he can to prevent Irving from being friends with Burt, including locking Burt in a room. So although the Lumon philosophy that Irving was indoctrinated by never got to Dylan, other Lumon propagandas did get to him. It's also surprising that he alone believes in this mortal feud between MDR and O&D. Mark denies that O&D is a violent entity in the same way Dylan dismisses Irving's obsession with the Eagan lore. Dylan also thinks the numbers are related to getting rid of the eels in the sea because of an apocalypse. That's also pretty crazy thinking. Some of the things he believes about the outside world are so ridiculous that it's not clear to me whether he is earnest and naive or dry and sarcastic. I will also say that Dylan was one of my least favorite characters in the show and I don't really get why everyone loves him so much. Not to say I didn't enjoy this video, as I do all of yours.

I think the whole O&D conspiracy thing was cooked up by management to keep the departments suspicious of one another. Lumon is probably afraid of them conspiring or the formation of an uprising from within. It is interesting that Dylan fully believes the propaganda while the others don't, though. Perhaps he is just not as trusting of a person as most. His initial distrust of Helly is a good example of that.

Zach Cherry is awesome! I loved him in You, the way he interacted with Joe Goldberg. Dylan is a true equal with the other three MDR workers, and, despite how reward-driven he appears on the surface, he truly cares about his coworkers. Speculating on his backstory, my guess is that Dylan lost a child. Perhaps an infant, which is why they have him hear a crying baby when he’s in the break room. He might have forgotten to check on the baby or left the baby somewhere while he was doing something to reward himself - like eating a big plate of delicious waffles. His guilt over the death of the infant was so overwhelming that he chose to be severed so he could escape the bad feelings for eight hours a day. He strikes me as a guy who tends to feel like an outsider, but who wants desperately to belong. He uses sarcasm to push others away even as he longs to be friends with them. (I’m pretty much exactly like him in that respect.) He’s incredibly loyal to his "family" and will do anything to protect them. He really wants to do the right thing and he also yearns to be seen as a hero - which he is at the end of the season. He’s the guy who makes it all happen.

@nautilusfiles

I share a similar opinion of him, and I think the lost child theory is a good one. A haunting memory of a crying child is likely related to some deeply traumatic event related to his own kid. Dylan seems like the classic workaholic bro and that could very well the attitude that caused his tragedy on the outside.

I've watched Severance season 1 twice. The first time I watched it, Helly was my favorite character. The second time I watched it, Dylan was my favorite character. This video was a good depiction of showcasing Dylan's character. Have you seen the tv series, "From"?

His children being overwhelming, as a reson for being severed, I don't and can't buy. Because it would actually make it worse. From outie Dylan's perspective, he leaves home, and goes to work, to almost instantly be back at home. It's not like the time the inie is working, is "rest" for outie Dylan.

King, icon, legend ❤

My initial take on Dylan, given that he's obviously a workaholic of sorts, was that he chose to get severed so he could leave work at work and enjoy more quality time with his kids. I'm not sure, after my third watch of S1, if this interpretation still holds water, especially given the proximity to trauma theory for MDR folks.

He really does have the strength of two men since he was able to pull both levers to activate overtime 😂

All innies are slaves. They do the work but the outtie gets the paycheck. The innies get two tokens a day for snacks and they literally know no life except work - they get in the elevator at the end of the day, the door closes and when it opens a split second later its the next day and they are right back to work. Its like Helly trying to get out of the stairwell. I'm surprised Mark knew it was a weekend.

In a world where I thought the company was not evil, I don't think having kids would be a hindrance to getting severed. Because you would never experience the time that you didn't know you had kids. To you, it would just feel like you are conscious 24/7 and always knew you had kids.

Usually those corporate keepsakes are etched out of clear acrylic rather than glass, and companies definitely hand those out as "perks". You can buy a 3D laser etching machine that works with several materials for about $18,000.

Dylan’s a great character.

I’m late to the Severance game, but I’m hooked now. Something I don’t feel I’ve really seen addressed in this and other videos about Dylan and Milchick is why outie Dylan didn’t seem at all surprised that Milcheck was in his house (unless they are partners, which I find unlikely), or question why he was there.

In regards to Dylan possibly being a bad father, Dylan jokingly calls Irving a shitty father. Also, I thought it was interesting how Dylan grabbed his belt to lock Burt in the conference room. It's interesting that the first thing he did when angry was grab his belt.

here is my weird theory 4 mdr, 4 temper mark is there because of woe, to escape his sadness. irving is there for malice to destroy lumon from inside trying to force himself to go in test room by influencing his subconscient with paintings. Helena is there for frolic she goes there happily wanting the approval of her father. Dylan is probably going there out of dread. I assume one of his child is sick and lumon provides healthcare technology or benefit in some way.

Dylan G. was my favorite from the get-go, but mostly because my favorites are always shitty dudes™. Seeing him develop and have the opportunity to grow stolen out from beneath him just made all the stronger a character to me.

Dylan!!!!

I wonder if things would have changed had Helly not shown up. Since Petey was already reaching out to oMark, would iMark have eventually started questioning things for some reason? Would he have ever found the map. That timing tho on Helly arriving and iMark finding the map because he changed the photo and Petey showing up around oMark at the same time.

Hey, Heather! Good question. Mark seemed to have no idea Petey was having doubts or was having trouble at work, which I find strange. Dan Erickson made it seem like Helly was destined for MDR, and if Lumon had big plans to use her in their PR stunt to get legislation passed, you would think it would be time sensitive. Somebody had to cut from MDR. I don't know how that would have worked had he not went and got himself deprogrammed? Unless he was on his way out for other reasons and his reintegration was a preemptive decision to get out before they "fire" him? Reghabi and Cobel both mention that there is group of resistors within Lumon that are trying to bring the org down. Petey was likely one of them, but there are probably others we aren't aware of yet.

For some reason when I went to watch this show, I told myself I didn’t like the actor that played Dylan, I must’ve confused him with someone else, because as the show went on I absolutely loved his character and the actor. Dylan made the show at times!

Dylan G is growing on me ... might be my fav character in the show ... its close between Dylan and Hellie

Just saw that Apple gave a nod to Severance at their event. They had a Helly R lookalike getting onto a train, ended w the Severance music. It's on here but I don't think I can add links. It was a month ago and I didn't hear a thing about it. I only stumbled on it when I googled the season 2 start date. As for that, they only just started filming so it will be awhile.

You're too kind, Gheahk! Thanks for coming through 🙌

The most powerful moment in this entire season is when Dylan G went off on Milchick and tgen revealed they could be awakened in the outside world while in the supplies closet. It was an honest scebe, and really brought how depressing/ dehumanizing and unfair their roles truly were as innies. Imagine you know you have a kid you're close too, who loves you but you can never interact or play with him. Gutwrenching.😢

I have to say that in the closet seen when mill check finished and Dylan said are we good yet the response immediately made me think that they were in cahoots somehow like maybe dealing with one of them on the inside or something else not sure what to think now

That's a possibility for sure. Having him play the double-agent would be an amazing twist. I'm here for it!

I loooove the theory that Dylan got severed to escape his home life. Would set up a similar inne vs. outie situation to Helly, where their goals are diametrically opposed. I love Dylan so much, he's probably my favorite character next to Cobel, for completely different reasons. I find myself routinely thinking about his "FUCK YOU MR. MILCHECK" all the time.

Right!? Helly's alter ego being her own worst enemy works so well. I could see something similar working for Dylan. Imagine the self-loathing that would come from finding out that he was trying to escape his kid the whole time!

I went from cringing every time Dylan spoke to now he's my favorite character! He Grew on me after like several episodes 😅

The most important aspect of Dylan is that his delt's are embarrassingly huge. I bet he and Milchick do muscle shows together.

You know what? Why didn’t Dylan G get the promotion to supervisor instead of Mark? Dylan is obviously the best employee.

Dylan is the goat

I would hazard a guess Petey is still amongst the top 4 refiners ahead of Helly even though he's retired :D Speaking of Petey, the pinned comment on a previous video states Ricken was 'Rick N' when severed and Rebek was formally Rebecca... maybe Petey was Pete. E? If so that might very possibly mean he was an Eagan? That might be pushing it as he has a family and they didn't seem like Eagans but who knows.

@@nautilusfiles it’s totally possible that his outie got disowned or decided to separate from/rebel against the Eagans after realizing some of the harms of the Severance procedure. It certainly explains why Cobel had so many eyes on him besides the procedure’s potential when it comes to memories

@@JuriAmari Yeah, I think whatever is going down at Lumon is something awful. So awful that if any of the severed figured it out, they'd defect immediately, regardless of whether it's the innie/outtie. He may have done just that.

My guess is he is a family man making a sacrifice for medical bills. It aligns with everything we know about him. He doesn't like the company, or what larger financially successful companies are up to, but he's doing what he has to out of a sense of duty. He also has shown himself to be self sacrificing when it came time for it.
