I guess I'm going to have to rewatch Season 1.

 

Any good recap videos out there?

In my experience the networks themselves really don't give you comprehensive recaps- probably because they prefer that you re-watch.  

I pretty much use this guy for all of my show recaps.  I imagine that his delivery can grate on some people, but the content is always great.

Oh most definitely. However, I would also pay good money to sit in a room and have her read bad things about me, such as what a naughty boy I've been and so forth.

But you must enjoy each equally. Failure to do so will result in a 10 point deduction.

2nd season reviews are out, and predictably amazing (100% on Rotten Tomatoes).  One theme I picked up reading them though is that the show assumes you remember everything, so a re-watch is indeed advisable.  At least watch a couple of high quality recaps on YouTube (I've linked a good one above.

I watched your recap you posted, and I'm really glad I did. I had forgotten a lot of that. "Oh yeah, Christopher Walken."

Just finished my re-watch. The last episode remains one of the best of any show I've ever seen. Can't wait.

I finished a rewatch last night.   Yes, that last episode is fantastic.   SHES ALIVE...and fade to black.   Can't wait for season 2, especially considering the reviews.

I did a rewatch of season 1 over the weekend. Things that I forgot about:

1) Cobel got fired in the last episode right before everything went down with the innies waking up on the outside.
2) How dryly funny the show is. Christopher Walken saying they, "They bonded over their love of industry" was absolutely hilarious.
3) The weird sex stuff at the waffle party. Dylan G is a hero for leaving that to help his friends.
4) That Helly R started her big speech at the gala as her innie. For some reason, I thought I remembered that she snapped back to her outie before the speech or that the episode ended before she started talking.
5) That Ricken's book had such a big impact on the innies.
6) That Ms. Casey is blonde in real life and from Nepal. Quick sidenote, there is a neighborhood near the school I teach at that has a large number of immigrants from Nepal. I met several of the mothers at open house this year, and holy crap, all of them were knockouts. I don't know what's happening there, but I want to learn more.

Suffice it to say, I am ready for Friday.

You sure she’s a natural blonde?

Btw I spent some time in Nepal last summer and the women are stunning. A little on the shorter side, but they have this really amazing mix of Indian and central Asian genes that is very alluring. The women of Assam have a similar look.

Dumb question, but it's been awhile. When the "innies" are woken up at the end of the last episode, do they recover their "outties'" memories? I guess not, as that would make them whole again, which they are not. They still only retain the memories of working in Lumon every day, and nothing else?

Correct, they do not have their outties' memories. When they woke up, all three of them were walking around confused trying to figure out who was who. Mark didn't recognize his own sister.

They should remember everything that happened during the last episode while they were outside. Same as when Dylan remembers he has a son. 
 

Wait, I think you’re asking about when they enter outside world as innies. Correct, they only know what has happened to them inside Lumen as an innie. But season 2 will have them now having memories of everything they encountered on the outside during the finale.

The innie will remember what happened when they were transported to the real world, but nothing more about it.  The outie, as Ted said, will not remember anything that transpired while the innie was there.

We see all of this when Dylan was sent to overtime.  When he was pulled back he remembers what happened in the closet, but his outie had to ask if Milchick got what he wanted.

She's got it for sure.  0:33 in this video when she's walking out, "praise kier."  The attitude and sarcasm mixed with her good looks.  Yes, please.
 

Which brings up the point - weirdest love triangle ever right? Outtie Mark is depressed because his wife dead. But she isn’t - or at least a version of her isn’t - innie Mark doesn’t know she’s alive or Ms Casey until that last episode. Meanwhile innie Mark is flirting w Helly, once again not knowing Ms. Casey is apparently his outtie’s wife.

Spoilers just in case…..

Spoiler

So Milchuck said 5 months when Mark came back.  How long did it take Mark to get everyone else back?  What did they say to his Outie, who wouldn’t know that was what the Innie wanted, to get him to go recruit the team back?  Love that they are keeping us in the dark because I trust we will get answers   

I knew Helly was going to lie about her outie but it’s a conflict I think I could do without in this show.  For some reason I felt disappointed that the show decided to do that   

Loved it otherwise.

But, innie Mark does know that. Right?

I think you're missing something big.  I actually thought that they made it too obvious (which probably means I'm wrong).

This is just my opinion, but I'm pretty sure I'm right, so don't click on this unless you're willing to (possibly) rob yourself of what will be a big reveal.

Spoiler

That's not Helly's innie in the office with them.  It's her outie.
