#Severance Season 2 ended with a crisis of conscience that led innie Mark to make a critical choice in the face of an uncertain future. Here, Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Dichen Lachman, Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson discuss “Cold Harbor,” the mind-blowing finale. www.latimes.com/entertainmen…
The LA Times sat down with Adam Scott, Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman on a video call, and Creator Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller in separate calls, to discuss S2 finale and cliffhanger.
The breakdown:
Adam Scott (Mark Scout/Mark S.)
- On what Mark’s final choice reveals about innie personhood: “He’s in love with Helly and can see the anguish from who he knows as Ms. Casey. But walking through that door may mean that he ceases to exist.”
Britt Lower (Helena Eagan/Helly R.)
- On what stood out filming the finale’s big moment with Gemma: “Helly R. seeing Gemma… was really affecting. There’s this moment where I think Helly R. is seeing an outie, having empathy for an outie, maybe for the first time.”
Dichen Lachman (Gemma/Ms. Casey)
- On filming the finale’s intense ending: “They had to put a pad on the back of the door because I was hurting my hand from slamming it against the door.”
Dan Erickson (Creator)
- On what interests him in Mark’s relationships with Helly and Gemma: “There’s an inherent innocence to their [Helly and Mark’s] romance… juxtaposes the innocence of Mark and Gemma have been through some of the worst moments of their lives together.”
Ben Stiller
- On Mark’s vulnerable plea to Helly: “He’s so vulnerable there… it felt like that core reality of when you’re not going to see someone who you love and who you want to be with – almost like a little kid.”
I know there was a post a while ago but I thought this interview was interesting + some of us watched the ep later and want to discuss!! MODS: I reduced the number of quotes to five, sorry about that! And I removed the vid.
