Dolores is retracing her steps of 'the maze' in the present day. Presumably, after she's gutted, we cut forward to the present day where her wound is gone. She may have also gone through the loop a few other times, which is why her clothing changes.

I thought that was a separate revelation in the closing minutes: that Dolores's chats with Bernard in that room were actually her chats with the real Arnold, way back when. I don't recall the specifics of their chats, maybe it was her chatting with Bernard. (though how would she get down there, before the town is…

Agreed. They've gone so far as to show the central command authorizing individual uses of pyrotechnics, yet they're letting a whole bunch of shit get way out of hand.

EXACTLY

I don't think this guy knows that there was an episode of a show where a guy literally jumped a shark, and it was the best one.

Ford is reusing the old town where Dolores's massacre was. Teddy/Wyatt gun down a bunch of hosts on the same set.

Still not entirely sure what the point of it was.

It is not. The Union/Confederacy/border fight is an ongoing narrative. Wyatt (which is really Teddy? that was confusing) is new.

The picture was much more indicative than the slaughter.

I don't hate Cuba, I hate the Cuban government. Because I'm a liberal and it is a tyrannical state that has no regard for people's liberties or justice. The kind of nits liberals are supposed to denounce.

He did die on Black Friday. Another blow for capitalism!

That medical relief included draining blood from dissidents to sell to other countries at $50/pint (including Canada!), but at least he was sending medical relief!

It can be two things, friendo.

Yes. The movie goes on for 5-10 minutes too long. We got the twist, we got the emotions, you've done your job, Villeneuve. But it kept going and going.

"The rims" is one of the best parts of the series! Poor pathetic Teddy. All he ever wanted was some respect back.

Teddy married a submissive child-bride … she's trying — hesitantly — to learn to stand on her own …

The scene seemed straightforward to me. Teddy knows, and has known for a while, that Tawney does not love him any more, but she won't admit it or admit that the marriage is over. She's too nice and accommodating and Christian to make that decision and actually ask what she wants to ask. So he (condescendingly) gives…

Hah! Interesting. I thought it was obviously reminiscent.

I think Mike at RedLetterMovies also noticed this, but the Dr. Strange score is a pretty clear riff on the new Star Trek theme. I'm sure Zhao's reasoning is the explanation for that; the director was using the ST theme any time Strange was doing something heroic, and told the composer to make something "like that."

Thank you, I almost forgot to queue this up for the weekend.
