That dude (or lady) is seriously raging up this comment section aren't they? Nobody is attacking them for differing opinions here, yet they're both strongly defensive and aggressively on the offensive at nearly all points.

Weirdly they totally avoided bringing in a "The Thing" level of paranoia with the human staff not trusting each other or themselves. And at this point I feel like it's a lost opportunity to ever go there.

Yeah…why didn't William have it instead. But really, it's the only way it would makes sense.

A-fucking-men.

Don't forget that with multiple timelines, dream sequences, and flashbacks you also have a sense of unreliable narrator being part of the mix!

Pepperidge Farm 'membas.

I've stopped trying to find any logic to the particular anachronism of the piano music selection.

he got most of my complaints. the acting/writing for William is turning into the show's biggest black mark. he missed that.

have you missed all of the piano renditions of 90s songs? these future folk got a serious case of the nostalgia vibes.

Repeat after me AV Club: Dolores. DOLORES. D-O-L-O-R-E-S.

I'm so torn overall with this show. It's not telling this story from a perspective or narrative style I would have initially presumed, and the direction it has taken is admirably ambitious, however, it's still not working as well for me as I assume the creators think it would be. No other show feels like it's actively
