…yeah this present season has not dulled at all, it’s getting more and more intriguing…especially because we’re beginning to understand the workings of Lumon a bit/while having no clue at all of their agendas…

That was the best episode of television I've ever watched! The cinematography was amazing. It was so sad but beautiful that they still long for each other. The baby loss and infertility storyline and how it affected their relationship was realistic to say the least, that was very well written and yeah, it sucks. I absolutely love that Gemma still has some fight in her! I still don't understand what the macrodata refinement actually is and why they have people watching them on camera?

…I agree, it was an outstanding episode…I don’t think that I blinked or exhaled for the whole time…such a sad episode also but to have it all dedicated just to them and their love story was gorgeous…

Same. I missed the usual gang but I suppose we have to start to get the Gemma story as well (although it's made more questions than answers )

[Benjamin]

Spoiler:

I really enjoyed that episode. I miss the gang but that episode is integral because it’s given us insight to Miss Casey and what she’s been going through. The fact she tried to escape and failed is interesting too.

Spoiler:

now its a case of how did they get a dead body and fool her family into thinking she was dead. Why did Gemma sign up for it originally and did she know Mark would be told she was dead? How did they know he'd apply for severence afterwards?

Spoiler:

…I guess that we don’t know for sure that it is Gemma or whether it’s a ‘clone Gemma’ who has been given her memory…and maybe she’s allowed ‘room steps’ until she’s perfected as a clone…in the goat room, they were cloning sheep so may also be attempting to clone humans and Gemma could be the ‘prototype’ so actually may be dead/explaining everything you say above…

Spoiler:

…honestly love this series because I have no clue but like to think of clues that I might have if I had one……

Ahhh yes I wonder also

Spoiler:

Could Miss Haung be Gemma too then if that's the case?

Spoiler:

…yes that’s exactly what I was thinking/that Miss Haung is Gemma taking her steps/going through her stages…at first when the pregnancy was shown, I thought…could she be their child…?…but I’m wondering what the connection with the goat room and the cloning and why she can only ‘advance’ so many steps each day and why they can’t allow her to leave and go into the outtie world because she isn’t complete yet…but also I’m not sure how an outtie of her would ever be allowed because as you say, Gemma is dead and confirmed dead…hmmmmm….

[Ammi]

Spoiler:

…I do totally get that missing of the whole crowd but Mark is such a pivotal character and there has obviously been an attraction between him and Helly R but now we’ve seen Helena kind of ‘obsessed’ with him too…it felt important to show the back story of ‘the love of his life’, Gemma…and especially as Gemma seems to be being ‘kept prisoner’ and there’s and a determination to not have her see Mark again…

The Helly R outie is likey to be behind a lot of it too

Spoiler:

…yeah, Mark is so important a focus for her as well over the others …which is also why his back story seems very relevant because Gemma is also a very important character to the ‘puzzle’, I think…maybe her death was the beginning of a cloning program…

Spoiler:

Miss Huang is a different type of Asian than Gemma so I doubt it.

[Ammi]

…the title of episode 7 is Chikhai Bardo…

Spoiler:

Chikhai Bardo is a Transitionary Phase Between Death and Rebirth…

The meaning of the title ‘Chikhai Bardo’ can only be explained by introducing the Buddhist transitional state of “bardo.” After the death of the Buddha, several scholars associated with Buddhism proposed the supposed existence of a liminal state between death and rebirth. Tibetan Buddhism followed this claim and divided life, death, and rebirth into six states, forming six bardos. While the first three concern varying states of living, the fourth one, Chikhai bardo, explains the apparent state that begins with the dying process and ends with the final external and internal breath. In other words, Chikhai bardo is a phrase used to describe the process of dying ahead of a rebirth.

…still clueless, though…

Spoiler:

They're both mixed race with one white parent and one Asian parent (doesn't really say where Miss Huangs Asian parent is from, Gemma's mother is Tibetan) So while their Asian parents may not be from the same country I think it's probably ambiguous enough to get away with them playing the same character It is acting after all
