    Holy shit, I didn't realize that there were 2 Bernards.  I know the preview for this week's episode showed a whole room full of Bernards, I just didn't think that we'd already experienced that yet.  I know it'll all get tied up, but it's a serious mind fuck if we've got multiple versions of the same host running around out there.

    One thing I thought about for this past episode is that there's been barely any female nudity this season.  I think it's a meta-comment on OUR (TV viewers) desires that mirror that of the humans in the park.  We want to see a bunch of titties on hot chicks.  Now that the hosts are rebelling and in control (in a sense), they're not going by our rules/desires any more.

    I've given a little thought about this too and believe that the purpose Ford had in interviewing the hosts nekkid was to dehumanize them -- to point out that they didn't deserve the dignity of being in costume when they weren't performing for the audience. The dearth of T&A this season, I think, supports the notion that they now are no longer less-than-human.

  2. One last bit of commentary: Ghost Nation has previously been pretty ruthless about killing other hosts but saving humans this season with the one notable exception being Maeve this episode when the one Indian says she's on the same path.

    Does anyone watch with subtitles?

    All of Elsie’s lines were titled as Hale.





    That’s pretty fucking interesting, man.

    In the scene between MiB and his daughter at the campfire, she says "gala invite" but "gauntlet invite" is what shows up on the captioning. I'm leaning toward a mistake by the captioning company but who knows? But the seemingly minor point where MiB misremembered Grace's and her mother's feelings about the elephants in the Raj seems like it could be significant.

    As I said, I’ve lived in N. Texas (Fort Worth) all 54 years.

    Oh, and the actual hottest summer, 1980, I mowed lawns.....never saw any lawns catch fire.

    I wasn’t here to start a fight, was just making a point.

    Just never heard people bitch so much, so early in the game.

     

    Dude, you were fucking 16 years old in 1980. I could run around in the deserts of West Texas in that kind of heat at that age too. Don't try to pull the "I walked in the snow uphill to school both ways shit" when clearly you couldn't have hacked it. 25 degrees...what a joke.

    Just came back to post this. Dunno if it's an Easter Egg or an honest mistake by whoever does the captioning.

  6. I'm rewatching the episode and can't help but notice the odd symmetry of Dolores and Ford playing the piano at the beginning and end. Does this indicate a deeper connection between the two that hasn't been revealed or discussed? Afterall, she was their first creation. Moreover, in the first scene when she's testing Bernard's "fidelity", can we be sure she's not really Ford since he's no longer Arnold at that point?

    I officially have no idea what’s going on now. Ford is in the cradle. Immortal?

    That's pretty much how I see it: he programmed himself an afterlife. Apparently, the pea brain of a host isn't sufficient to hold a human's full character (Delos), but the vast array of servers in the Cradle are.

    And it was Bernard who transferred Ford over (that he was only partially remembering).

    Clearly you're an optimist.  I knew a Trump presidency would turn out just like it has.  You don't have to be a psychic to know DJT would never work for the common good...he's way too self-centered.  It was always going to be just about him and he can NEVER be wrong about anything. 

    He's a fat, boorish bully who was lucky enough to be born filthy rich.  If he'd been born poor, he'd either be in prison, dead, or a Trumpkin in rural WV

    If Trump had been born poor in West Virginia, he'd be Boss Hogg today.

    Yep. Dissenting opinions are fine, great even. But that's not what he does. He posts complete garbage and adds nothing positive to the board.

    Yeah, he was a total piece of garbage as a poster not necessarily because of his viewpoints necessarily, but because he was a liar. I'm sure he'll come back as a different incarnation though. Still, I do find it a little troubling that one poster can do to another what you did to him single-handedly. I like the old system where you could only rep the same poster once ever 24 hours.

    It gives a poster too much power and could come back to bite us in the ass.

    Explain the Teddy story to me.  What happened to him last episode?

    Dolores changed his settings to make him "tougher", but I think she's going to regret it and see that it was softer side of him that she fell in love with. Essentially breaking the free will that Maeve has learned to appreciate.

    All news articles about it have also been scrubbed from the internet. Archives are still available. http://archive.is/nC2ev

    Tommy is a Jewish guy who was trying to report to the public the details of a child rape gang in his country. He will be in constant danger in prison.

    I've also seen talk about why they are going after people for talking rather than stopping the violent, horrible crimes being committed against children. It's simple, on the one hand they can arrest people for twitter posts and have a nice peaceful day doing their Orwellian job. On the other hand they can get investigate and try to apprehend people who will threaten to kill their families...

    I'm quoting the OP so he can't go back and edit away his statements.
