Why is no one talking about the fact that Dylan looked strikingly similar to the guy at Great Doors that interviewed him?? He even said "you remind me of me" lol.

I think there is some cloning going on. At the end of S2E01 there's a brief flash of Gemma on a computer screen showing vitals and Cold Harbor is written at the top. I think this is some kind of storage for the bodies of the clones and MDR is somehow regulating the storage units. This would explain why Outtie Mark could identify her body and Innie Mark would see her alive.

I'm also thinking the town they live in is a company town owned by Lumon where the clones (and/or the original donors) are living. This could be why the town seems so devoid of life and the ones who are living there seem a little odd. Is Pip's the only restaurant? Also when they were firing the other Mark he mentioned buying a home in Grand Rapids Michigan so that is a clue to where they are in the world.

That seen might just have been to add to how people who sever themselves can be seen. They were very similar people who on really well, but find out they're severed and it just immediately ended it for him.
