Or, they are hosts themselves being programmed by Corporate to do this action.
But hey, Newman of JP makes sense when you look at the original source.

It was the same "wake up Sweetwater" tune that was played in the pilot. I think they hear that song every day (thus Maeve fed up with hearing it and shutting it down)

Why bug everything when you have a host tied up in the background recording everything that was said?

Agreed that basement (or a different substation that Bernard mentioned are all over the park) with Delores and Bernard is definitely flashback material. You will notice Bernard is dressed slightly different each time in those scenes.

Especially since the wait looks to be until 2018

I can just see him sniveling in a corner as the host mob slowly comes upon him as he cries out "didn't any of you like any of my stories?" STAB STAB STAB

The actress is 33. That is some serious ageist bullshit to think she couldn't serve on a board of directors.

Don't count on the picture to be accurate proof of anything.
1. We only saw it from Bernard's POV and we know now how "they dont see what can hurt them"
2. The guy in the picture as "Arnold" was the same actor playing Ford's dad.

Exactly. William even mentioned to Dolores that hosts aren't supposed to respond/understand anything when encountering anachronistic terms.

Yah, and that picture of "Arnold" the guy who was supposed to be Arnold was Ford's Dad.

See The Prestige as well for their time blurring antics.

Or even, if the theory that Bernard=Arnold the scenes we've seen of the two of them together have been in the past even farther back than the William time period theory. Bernard has always looked "different" in those one on ones.

Oh for sure. At this point now that we have confirmation of an employee being a host, all bets are off on who is who.

I have been touting the same theory. It is the most logical sense with what we have been shown. Its a wonder more viewers don't get it.

Yup. That has been the one solid evidence (as opposed to conflicting evidence elsewhere) about the differences.

I dont think its the same space. Same layout. Bernard said in this episode these stations were used all over the park in beta. Easy to assume there are more still out there.

He's been misspelling it for weeks. Never does any good to correct him.

Yah, my thoughts after tonight was that Elsie is more than likely gone.

Bernard made an off hand remark that these stations were all over the park when the place was in beta. Could be anywhere he was having conversations with her. Probably one close to her farm.

You are correct. This is what I think and it is supposition based solely off of the facts we currently have at hand.
And yes I am forgetting Futureworld because that movie was a giant pile of shit.
