Commentors keep bringing up the stuff Logan says about the death of a park founder as evidence against the separate timeline theory, but Logan never gives any hint of a timeframe. You're assuming he told William about events from 30 years ago, but that's not supported (or refuted) by anything Logan said. He could have

Except Ford definitely has hosts doing construction work for his new narrative when Theresa goes out to meet him and discuss it. Either that or he gets off on making his construction employees wear period clothing while slaving away.

I actually loved S8 because it was relatively drama-free. I don't need drama on Drag Race as long as it's entertaining and I'll take Best Friend Race over that tiresome Alyssa/Coco feud any day. S4 got to be kind of a bummer towards the end because of all the screen time devoted to Phi Phi's nonsense. I would have

I never understood the dismissive attitude toward Chi Chi. She had personality in spades, it sounded like she'd had a bit of a rough life but she rarely sat around feeling sorry for herself, she was obviously thrilled to be on the show, and was generally a class act at every turn. She seemed to take the judges'

I've never played this game and didn't know about the anyone-can-be-a-thing mechanic, but I'm most of the way through Alien: Isolation and I want to know who I have to throw money at to get those developers to do a Thing game. The way Isolation organically creates terrifying moments is fantastic, so the thought of the

I don't detect any malice in the representation of white people. It reads to me as if Issa and the writers are content to let the white characters remain largely in the background and serve their narrative purpose, without worrying much about accurate representation, or about the feelings of white people. The

Mentioned in reply to another comment, but I think a major strike against the idea that MiB and William are the same person is that we know what the hosts were like 30 years ago. The one we saw Ford conversing with in the pilot was a herky-jerky, Chuck E. Cheese-style animatronic. None of the hosts in William's scenes

I love the idea that William's scenes are taking place at a different time than the rest of the show, but I'm pretty sure we've seen him in the saloon with Maeve (right?). We know Maeve's madam character is relatively new for her, so unless she worked at the saloon in the past when William showed up, they repurposed

Maybe I'm reaching here, but I took that statement to mean that lines to the outside are limited and, given the number of people who must be working at the park, are nearly always in use. So the difficulty getting an open line is due to the difficulty getting one that no one is using during his free time, and not the

I completely understand why they'd follow her. All the way back in S1 they established that the Dothraki follow the strongest person, and anyone who kills a Khal replaces him. Dany killed the ruling Khals, walked out of a burning building in front of everyone, proving that she has supernatural fireproofing, and then

I've been twice and am going again next month. It is hilarious (a sex scene filmed in stop-motion), fun and sexy (a couple experimenting with flash paper), and sometimes moving (a disabled woman who uses crutches allows you to make a bunch of assumptions about her, and then thoroughly upends those assumptions). I go

I got the impression they might not be real scientists and are more like scientologists doing an involuntary e-meter reading.

Lindeloff's involvement in this show is the thing that had been preventing me from enjoying it up to this point. I'm one of those who felt burned by Lost, but thought that The Leftovers was a good fit for him since the show is explicitly not about the why/how of the departure. But then there was all the stuff with the

It has been a long time since I've seen it, but I recall thinking both that it was nowhere near as brutal as I was expecting (that's coming from someone who had to lie down for an hour after reading a synopsis of Martyrs), and that the ending was nowhere near as stupid as everyone made it out to be. I knew there was a

This might actually work out okay. Have you seen that Super Bowl commercial for Dove chocolate with Audrey Hepburn?
