Just finished today.  Wonderful finale.

I debated the Helly/Helena angle, but concluded Helly.  Innie Mark was suspicious of Outie Mark.  Innie Mark had developed strong feelings with Helly, which led him to trust Outie Mark in helping to free Gemma.  IMO, if Outie Mark was willing to go take such actions to save Gemma, Innie Mark would understand.  His love and passion for Helly was great, so he could relate.  But he did not want to abandon his Innie experiences.

I believe we will see more of Irv.  And I am glad Drummond was eradicated.

What a great concept, script, cast, and production.

Mark's sister

Bingo! 

Love someone captured and posted the better Tramell video, the crowd went bonkers when he showed up.

Excellent finale. It really sticks with you. Yes, Innie Mark is a bit of a teenage bitch but you understand why he does it. Plus he did what he said he was going to do in the first episode, get Ms. Casey out. The marching band scene was fantastic. Let's hope it doesn't take 3 years before season 3 comes out.

Disagree

, I think she just runs to go see Mark one last time. Maybe there’s a chance they can do this all together. For all they know ,if he crosses that barrier, they’re going to take down Lumon entirely and all of these innies are going to get wiped away. I think it’s just gut instinct that she runs.”

 


she is guessing. 
 

season 3 script isn’t even complete yet 

Also, abandoning Dylan wasn’t part of the plan nor ideal at the time

While I agree that the writers can always change directions, Britt Lower is not guessing at who she iss portraying in a particular scene. She plays each "character" differently and I believe she has said so explicitly. The writers/directors are absolutely telling her who she is portraying in those scenes.

Yeah, at the Paley event, they discussed about different choices and tells that they're pretty sure and/or pleasantly surprised fans will pick up on which moment is Helly/Helena. Lower didn't go into details of the acting choices but referenced how her and Stiller worked on the struggling to turn the computer on as one tell.

SIAP but think about Gemma's outie experience in the last episode. She is suddenly surprised by Mark when he leads her out of Cold Harbor. They escape to the elevator, climbing over a dead man. Then she's Ms. Casey. Then her outie resumes consciousness in the locked stairwell seeing her husband walk towards another woman and ignoring her pleas. I'm fairly certain she doesn't know that Mark has been severed and does she even comprehend that she's severed?

And does she have an easy method to get out the building including potentially having to walk up many levels to get to the ground floor. All while the building is in some red alert emergency status? The writers could somewhat get out of that problem if Cobel has discovered a method to get her or Devon into the building to assist an escape but we just didn't see it yet. It's reasonable to think that alone, Gemma would soon get caught due to her disorientation and uncertainty where she is. They have a guard at the top of the elevator, it's doubtful the stairwell opens up unguarded to the outside like a fire exit.

The sound of that stairway door closing with Mark on the inside is stuck in my head. As soon as that happened, I knew he wasn't leaving. He did his part, he completed his side of it, but his survival instincts kicked in and he couldn't risk not existing any more. 

Such a great way to end the season and leave numerous paths open for future stories in season 3 and beyond. Plenty of unanswered questions to be dealt with later, but still a satisfying ending. That's a difficult balance to keep in tact for a show (see Lost S1-3), and can go completely off the rails and ruin the fanbase of done poorly (see Lost S4-6).

I really hope John Turturro find the interest and energy to return for one more season, otherwise that's a really unsatisfying way for Irv to exit the show.

I've heard/read the rumors that we may have seen the end of Turturro and Walken's participation. I hope they find a way to include them at some level and there is a desire on all sides for them to return. I know they didn't do much (any?) for the marketing efforts pre and post season this year. but that can also be explained in that they may have scheduling conflicts.

I also think Innie Mark figured that, provided Lumon doesn't murder him, Outie Mark would eventually find Gemma and explain everything. And that's outie Mark's job. Not innie Mark's job, which is to try to get laid by Helly one more time.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia looking very different.

But seriously Tramell is such a talent.

Among all other awesomeness of the show, the fact it brought that dude to the forefront is worthy of an egg party. Hopefully he shows up in other shows/movies in the interim before Season 3.

the ending had a super The Graduate feeling to it. No plans just run

I literally started yelling "ELAINE!!!" when Helly showed up at the end of the hall and Mark looked at her.  My wife, who has seen the Graduate with me at least 5 times, didn't get it.
