Will the writers introduce a pregnancy storyline for Helly/Helena next season or would that be a little too soapy?

What we can probably guarantee is that this show won't wade into a reproductive rights discussion re: Helly or Helena's potential pregnancy.

I'm up for anything plot wise as long as they show full penetration.

I wonder... Maybe the reason Mark was so necessary to complete Cold Harbor wasn't actually about Gemma, but about Mark.

Maybe Mark's letting Gemma go and turning around to be will Helly was the "completion" of Cold Harbor. Maybe that ending is exactly what Lumon wanted.

Probably not, as Mr Egan was all by himself in a room screaming “Noooooo” as it happened.

Wasn't it implied from his dialogue that he prefers Helly to Helena?

It's also the only place he could speak with her rather than Helena.

Sure. But what was the point of him telling Helly, with whom he has only interacted one other time, that he prefers her to Helena? Also, unless Jame was terribly burying the lede, this wasn’t the reason for his visit (he led with, “you tricked me.”).

Maybe he wants to swap them. Maybe he wants Helly to lead the company rather than Helena. Lots to speculate on.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Interesting, I thought s1 was better. S2 felt like it lost the plot a little. I still liked it, but felt it was a step down.
