Yeah, Either 1 or 3 alone isn't even a coincidence, it's just a character trait. It's the fact that the criminal boss is his brother that's the coincidence. The personal score goes closely enough with the relation that I don't think it counts as a second. Now, his brother, the criminal boss who he's fighting in the…

I wonder if they made Reva complicit in all of it to give Luke an easy out for forgiving Jessica.

The Joffrey host would make Teddy look practically immortal in comparison.

GRRM has said he'd love to have a GOT-licensed Medieval world crossover.

Pretty sure he died off screen last week; when the scheduled raid on Dolores's house took place, they just cut to him being interviewed after cleanup.

I can definitely see the MIB thinking "Hrm., I haven't tried escaping from prison with just a match and an exploding cigar before. Sounds like a fun challenge."

They shut down for a while so they could hammer out a solid 5 year plan. Given the level of twists we've been seeing, that's almost certainly a good thing.

I'm pretty sure that tattoo wasn't there in the pilot, which would suggest it was added when Ford introduced the Wyatt storyline.

"Recent events" for Dolores have a tendency to recur.

I was getting more of an RPG "loot the bodies" vibe.

If Erlich Bachman could figure out how to jerk off every single guy at a
Tech Crunch competition in 10 minutes, I'm sure Madonna could put her
considerable resources to the task.

The truth is that she lost them a while back, and it's horribly embarrassing to tell a friend that you lost the gift they gave you.

I’m wondering how society considers the sexual aspects of Westworld.
Logan seems like the sort of guy who would take great offense at his
brother-in-law cheating on his sister*, yet he keeps encouraging William
to get down with the hosts. I’m thinking that the general social attitudes might be that robobanging doesn’t…

Did anyone recognize any piano music this episode?

Give that Wyatt was said to have some weird religious/cult aspect, it's possible that he's accidentally hijacking the "god mode" voice commands that the other hosts respond to.

That was definitely not the same gun that she dug up last week/looked at early in the episode; that one was much more rusted.

They did say the magic words to put it into hibernation. The magic words didn't work.

I could see them trying to play coy with the timeline for one more episode, at most. It's possible that William happened to run int Dolores in a similar state 30 years ago, but that's going to get answered really soon.

I think the key component of Delores shooting the rapist wasn't that she was able to overcome her programming; nobody watching the show was surprised when that happened. The really relevant part was that her reactions almost perfectly mirrored William's at the beginning of the episode; i.e., they were human.
