In season 2, every time I see Burt, my opinion changes. Sus how he watches Irving from his car. Then it is downplayed, he is sarcastic about Irving showing up at his door. Back to sus as he mentions he knows where Irving lives. I really thought outie-burt is just awkward. But this episode was...well...sus through and through.
Right now it definitely seems like he invited Irv over for a ham and expensive wine for the sole purpose of allowing Mr. Drummond free access to Irv's apartment.
Felt really obsessive. He wants to impress Lumon so hard, I can't help but feel he's going to make a 180 if they keep failing to appreciate him. Reforms? Who cares, you're using paperclips wrong. Unhinged
He's obviously fighting himself in attempt to be what Lumon wants and I hope he ends up flipping. I mean just the look on his face when he received the paintings that show "him in Lumon history" showed that he had some serious issues with how he is being treated.
Where is Cobel? We've gotten teases of so many stories but she just "left". I keep expecting her to show up and dump a bunch of information, I thought she was going to be at Mark's door instead of the sister.
I was watching the episode with my fiancee; she was trying to figure out who he was, because "he looks familiar", I just told her to imagine him eating cherry tomatoes and she figured it out immediately lol.
What I didn't get was what the Lumon guy with the "Frolic" tattoo on his hand was looking at. It's at around 36:30. Was it at Irving's place? Info about severed people, apparently.
Ok, John Noble whistles in some episode(s) of Fringe, so that makes me think the whistling person whose face we don't see is Fields.
Burt having been with Lumon for 20 years and being like Attila the Hun makes me think he had to do with Lumon's early testing of severance.
Why TF would anyone invite the person who was screaming at the door over for dinner? I think Burt invited Irving to get him out of his apartment so Drummond could sneak in and snoop.
Is it possible that Irving is actually Burt's old Lumon partner?
Helena being obsessed with Mark is very... Creepy. At first I thought she was just tailing him for info, but it looks like she's stalking him just because they were intimate and he doesn't even know about it
