Summary
I hope you're feeling refreshed. So are you jazzed? You finished your first file! Now, let's continue the adventure, shall we? Day Two of severed existence means...Melon Bar!! Surely a Melon Bar and a round of get-acquainted, icebreaker games will make everything all right for newly severed worker, Helly R.
Uh, spoilers...it doesn't help her attitude AT ALL! (Come on, not even the MELON BAR??). No, not even the Melon Bar!!
Oh, and speaking of spoilers, just in case you're new here...there are spoilers all OVER this podcast. It's recommended you watch every episode of the first season of "Severance." There will be a couple of nights right after where you'll sit in a darkened room with a bottle of scotch going, "huh? what the hell was THAT?" You'll soon realize, you need to watch Season One AGAIN! That's when you want to pop on the ol' "Severed" podcast after each episode. You'll find more details, info, trivia and cool stuff than you will find in ANY other Severance Podcast!! That's 100% guaranteed by Lumon, or double your money back!!
Grab yourself a cup of dark, bold Rwandan Coffee and fire up your workstation. It's time to open the file marked "Half Loop-Pt 1". And, yes, this file is once again so packed with Severance Goodness, the folks upstairs thought it might be best for you to only work on half of it today. There will be plenty of time to get to Part 2, next week!

| 0:16.7 | You've once again found yourself listening to Severd, the Ultimate Severance podcast. |
| 0:22.2 | So that means you must want to be here, right? I'm your host, Alan S. Severd is a deep dive |
| 0:29.5 | comprehensive rewatch podcast. Nothing is off limits from the first season of Severance. |
| 0:35.1 | This is an episode by episode rewatch with tons of spoilers. It's best to watch |
| 0:40.0 | all nine episodes of the first season of Severance before you start this podcast. After episode |
| 0:46.6 | one established the premise over and over and over, here in episode two, things really start to |
| 0:52.8 | take off. Mark plays hooky to meet Petey. |
| 0:55.8 | Helly refines her first set of numbers, |
| 0:58.1 | and we get clues from everywhere, including Irving's fingernails. |
| 1:03.1 | So refiners, if you're ready, let's open the file called Half Loop. |
| 1:09.6 | Just like good news about Hell, Half Loop was written by series creator Dan Erickson |
| 1:15.0 | and staff writer Anna Oyang Munch. |
| 1:18.1 | It was directed by Ben Stiller. |
| 1:20.6 | The release date on Apple TV Plus is February 18th of 2022, and yes, this is the same date as episode one. Both were dropped together because |
| 1:31.2 | they really wanted to set that hook and real new viewers in. Now in the first episode, |
| 1:37.1 | we met Heli R, who is a newly severed iny. We don't know anything about Heli's Audi. |
| 1:43.3 | Our entire experience with Heli R was limited to the perceptions of her iny. |
| 1:48.9 | We have no perceptions from her Audi, which caused the somewhat confusing experience at the threshold door leading into the stairwell. |
| 1:56.5 | We were allowed to meet the full mark, both his Innie and Outie in episode one. |
| 2:02.4 | We were even able to glean some of his backstory. |
