The Sevency Consterator knows that the Gemma episode is similar to these SCI-Fi stones

Praise Care! Dichen Lachman finally gets her time in the spotlight. Like many other Australian actors who eventually jumped to Hollywood, Lachman cut their teeth to the Australian Australian soap opera “neighbors”. However, although she became an old warrior on American television since then, she was curious about flashing roles-she would get roles in the tents such as “World Guerrante Dominion” and “Known of Apes of Apes”. Fortunately, this is not the case with “Severance”, DAN ERIKSON About modern companies and their endless research on new ways to exploit their workers.

Speaking of Satan, Lumon Industries giant in the field of biotechnology and “clip” technology took completely new shades of the inconvenience in “Severance” the second season, especially when it comes to Lachman … or if you say, if you say,, Personalities. As you may remember, the actress first appeared in this series like Mrs. Casey. Thanks to its archaeological style and patience, the Lumon Wellness Counselor is perfectly suitable for dealing with the company’s childish Innies, that is, the personalities of the Lumon “Clica” employees who know nothing about life outside their job. Over time, though, it appeared that Mrs. Casey herself is actually Innie from GEMMA Scout, the wife of the Mark Scout (Adam Scott).

Things took A more worrying turn in the second season “Chikhai Bardo”. There, we learned that Lumon not only created many Innies for Gemma, but she was also holding its prisoner mainly because it is subject to it different from the painful experiences designed to test the limits of cutting technology. Of course, if you have been a Lachman lover for a long time, the idea of ​​playing it mainly many individuals who live in the same body will ring a bell, because Erickson is very aware.

Before assembling the strongest Earth’s heroes, but after sending his satellite sponsors With the “Firefly” follow -up, “Serenity,” Joss Woodon got a philosophy with the creation of a short -lived science fiction. The Fox series, such as “Severance”, focuses on Shady – in this case, The Shadowy Rossum – specialized in interfering with its workers’ minds. As implicit for her title, Rossum programs her employees, also known as AKA, or dolls, with temporary alternative characters and skills groups, which in turn allows their customers to deal with these dolls, such as live dolls specifically designed to achieve their most fantastic imaginations.

It is worth noting that Rossum dolls also constitute a more permanent alternative personality who knows nothing about the world outside their workplace, also known as “Dollhouse”, as well as her regular personality, which does not maintain the memories of their work experiences at Rossum. In other words, their doll characters are Innies for their waste, that is, the personalities of Lumon employees who only remember their personal life events on “Severance”.

This leads us to Lachman, who co -starred with both seasons from “Dollhouse” from 2009 to 2010 such as the Sierra doll (and its actual name Priya Tseetsang). When Alan Sebinwol commented on the similarities between Widon and “Severance” during his interview with Ericson for Traded stone (Specifically what is happening to GEMMA in “Chikhai Bardo”), the bidder revealed that this was somewhat accidental:

“Yes. I have seen” Dollhouse “. But this is funny: It didn’t really happen to me until we were writing the episode that was somewhat similar to the concept.

Erikson’s logical response. For all aspects of the surface level, “Severance” and “Dollhouse” vary greatly. The latter only briefly affects the concept of exploitation of work; Like contestants in the “squid game”, people are usually in a kind of terrible strait when Roumen is convinced them of “volunteering” to become a doll with the promise of the huge payment on their services. It is recognized that Sierra is an exception to this rule, but until then, her story shares more in the story of Ivan Rachel Wood Dolores Apirnei from the previous seasons of “Westworld” From Gemma. (The common denominator is that they are all completely dark in their own ways.)

However, for the largest part, “Dollhouse” merges the subjects of empowerment and independence with which Whard is famous for existential reflections, especially the idea that dolls still maintain parts of their temporary characters after surveying them clean. Likewise, it shows that the most powerful feelings go beyond the programming of dolls, which is why Sierra always falls in the love of her colleague Victor (Enver Gokaj), and vice versa, even when they are programmed with different characters.

There is also an interesting compact component for “Dollhouse”. After all, the relationship between dolls and people who run Rossum is somewhat similar to the real life between the actors and their superiors. Unfortunately, it is a concept that does not receive the attention that he calls in the show, as when they tend to move away from the full account with its dark effects. (In particular, when some Rossum employees use dolls to meet their personal needs, they are not distorted the way their customers are.) Then again, again, Self -criticism has never been a suit and insulted strongWas that?
