I think the idea of "Trojans Horse" is Natalie convincing Ricken to re-write his book with Lumen propaganda. I absolutely love that we at least have Devon butting up against Ricken. She's the mouthpiece for the audience and I'm glad they did that, otherwise it all would be too frustrating in my opinion.

The character who picks up dental tools is whistling The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It’s a famous Gordon Lightfoot song about a ship that sank in Lake Superior killing everyone aboard. The first verse includes these lines: The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy

I think it is very clever that they have framed Milchick as a master of catachresis—using long words in a strange, strained, or unusual way. It shows how hard he is trying to fit in. Like many organizations, Lumon has its own lingo and terms of art. At Lumon, that lingo tends toward the archaic and clerical. Ms. Cobel, Mr. Drummond, and Jame Egan have great natural facility with Lumon-speak. Milchick does not. He has been desperately trying to fit in and downplay his outsider status. And now he’s getting called out in a performance review for using too many long words. This only serves to emphasize that his linguistic efforts are having the opposite effect. In other words, even though they black-faced company history for him, they don’t really view him as part of the Lumon family.

I love Walken's delivery when he's following Irv. "Call it a quirk"

I think Ms. Huang was just toying with Milchick. I also think the quarters on Irv's sign are actually the official quarter numbers; Lumen just increased the number so the Innies think Lumen is older than it actually is. Kind of like the lie about the "tallest waterfall in the world." They lie just to make Lumen seem more important than it is. If I recall correctly we've seen a statue or bust or something of Kier with the dates of his tenure as CEO, and I think he started Lumen in 1865. I remember that because it's right after the Civil War ended. I also think he was born in the 1840s and died in the 1940s, making him around 100 years old when he died.

Milchik knows many things but he does NOT know Swedish. As a swede, this episode hurt my ears.

this is when I understood why they had Walken in that role. I always assumed that John Turturro was a big reason for him agreeing to be in the series, but I didn't quite get why they wanted him in the first place. this is the episode when I got it. he certainly becomes 10x more interesting in this episode, doesn't he?
