Dr. Mauer was completely known for “Chikhai Bardo”, retirement In season 2, I actually met him early in the season. He took a walk through the optics and designs to pick up dental tools, and moved them to that ominous elevator at the end of the export hall. Connecting the two characters wasn’t a major leap as it was the last place I saw Casey at the end of Season 1. But “Chikhai Bardo” surpassed our worst nightmare in that respect.
The fact that Dr. Mauer constantly whispers Edmund Fitzgerald“A grumpy ballad about a ship sinking in icy waters, Gordon Lightfoot’s folk yet glaring waters, spelling Doom for everyone, really set the tone perfectly, right?
Most of “Chikhai Bardo” revolves around the embodiment of Gemma and Mark’s love story. This episode was played and directed very beautifully. It was easy to focus on these elements right after seeing it. But what remains in the darkest moment is Dr. Mauer, showing that there is a new MVP in it retirementInsignificant stack of malicious characters.
The Spooky Doctor is an archetype that horror fans will recognize right away. It fears that medical professionals will put aside their “no harm” vows and use their position on grounds of cruelty or murder. Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Dr. Giggles, The Dead Ringer twins, Human Centipede Men and those involved in plots that induce PTSD Panel-You know them, and you rightly fear them. And Dr. Mauer is right there. His tactics cause Gemma’s physical pain, but his psychological attacks are exponentially more painful.
At the time of the latest episode, there is no full picture of Lumon’s invasive interest in Gemma and Mark’s relationship. We know that like all biotechnology, they visited an infertility clinic with connections with Lumon. retirementIt’s like a world of. The facility is also connected to Dr. Mauer. Brink and you will miss him running through the background of the scene. I know well that Gemma drives to an event on one dark night and never returns home. And of course, we know that Gemma has undergone retirement procedures and has become Robot Casey, counselor on Loumon’s cut floor.
“Chikhai Bardo” answered one of the biggest retirement Questions up to now show where Gemma has lived since her death. It was then revealed that her ordeal had something to do with Mark’s job sorting numbers in Lumon’s Macrodata Sophistication department. There are still many puzzle pieces left. However, the introduction to Dr. Moher’s story was unquestionable.
While Dishen Luckman’s performance as Gemma has received legitimate praise, Robbie Benson as Dr. Mauer is equally formidable. An ordinance to Billy Joe And 1978 Ice Castle), he also voiced Disney Beast in the 1991 Animated Classic beauty and the beastand pop up on a TV show (including friend) And video games everywhere. But he retirement Turn provides evidence that casting against types often means you can find a villain that is very effective.
Gemma has now become quarter-style in a distinctive underground room, monitored by cameras and monitored by a constantly present nurse. Her physical health is carefully monitored and continuous, but what Lumon is most interested in research is her mental stability. She is Dr. Mauer’s only patient. Every day he meets her in each room in the long corridor on the test floor. She does not remember their interactions, as each space causes another cut persona. Each has its own wardrobe and hairstyle. Dental patients, plane travelers about to crash, … tennis players from the 1970s? (We haven’t seen the room in that room, just clothes.)
But the most unforgettable thing is the room that says, “It’s always Christmas.” This is a horrifying version of Holiday, where Gemma is forced to write an endless stack of gratitude notes, dressed in a terrible bathrobe. (In Gemma’s pre-Preloumon life, she especially disliked writing a thank-you note.) As with all rooms, this is the only reality this particular consciousness has ever experienced. It’s the same as Mark, with other cut-off workers constantly snapping that they’re constantly awake in the elevator and feel like they haven’t passed since leaving the office, except that it’s far more frightening. Imagine you whole The presence has excavated your teeth many times. Or you’re on a plane about to crash.
In each of these horrifying places, Dr. Mauer is an active and enthusiastic figure, dressed in his own special outfit. That’s what he designed each aspect of this process. He is a dentist, flight attendant, tennis coach and, most tragically, the “husband” in the Christmas room. Even Drummond, a Lumon Bigwig, monitors Dr. Mauer’s experiments. He questioned the choice of sweater. In this room he drains a very unhealthy atmosphere, calling Gemma “lovers” and telling her that she loves him.
This is especially fed up considering this previous exchange between Drummond and Mauer. “You like her.” “She likes her easily. Of course she likes me too.” “Did she not try to break your finger?”
Dr. Mauer also interacts with Gemma as herself, referring to her about her experiences, confirming that she remembers nothing, and showing fragments of humanity. He has the opposite of “kind eyes.” retirement I emphasized what I’ll be highlighting in Season 1. He is patronized and clearly has inappropriate enjoyment in having such complete control over others.
“When he’s finished,” Dr. Dr. Mauer tells him. Here’s a look at Mark’s progress in the mysterious “Cold Harbor” project. retirement Teased as the endpoint of Gemma’s trial. “You need to let her go,” Dr. Mauer says he knows this, but his expression can be unsettling. Something that suggests he believes that the actual gentle emotions are driving people “I love you.”
Why does Gemma plead to go home, he lies to her and says that since she was Mia, Mark will move along with his new wife and daughter and add an extra knife teethist? Why does he imply that Gemma probably moved, perhaps by rediscovering love, instead of making it happening. Dr. Mauer and In one of the cut rooms?
It’s most troublesome that she has feelings for this naughty man, does not remember them, and even he plants possibilities in her brain, she should consider that she has feelings for this naughty person. Her attempt to escape ends with a heartbreaking failure at the end of “Chikai Bardo,” but this misery has a ticking clock. The Secret of Cold Harbor is left with only three episodes of Season 2, so some sort of closure must be revealed soon. With Dr. Mauer in charge and the ruthless Drummond peering into his shoulders, we need to wonder if there’s a place for Gemma to survive, or if he’ll be home less.
