I have just watched the first three episodes (one dvd) <br>
of «Severance», whose premise may well be known to you even if you have <br>
not watched any.<br>
<br>
I did not imagine the ramifications of the partition; I imagined it <br>
shallower, though I cannot now say how. Still, though innie-Mark asks <br>
Petey (in one of his flashbacks) how he could know what "cubist" means, <br>
there are plenty of signs that innies would not be lost in their home <br>
culture; for example, in one scene Irving speaks of "gold, silver and <br>
bronze" awards.<br>
<br>
Is the use of retro equipment (Seventies computer terminals, cassette <br>
tape recording) meant to suggest that severance has been going on far <br>
longer than we'd otherwise suppose?<br>
