For anyone who's unconvinced that Dolores is re-tracing in the present the steps she took with William in the past, watch this:

I think the idea is that an engineer came here and sacrificed himself in the water, kickstarting the whole process of life on earth, of which humans are the final stage or something.

Assuming the theory is correct, there are two pasts: the one where she's with William (30 years ago) and an older past (35 years ago), where the park isn't open yet, the church is intact and hosts are still being trained in very basic things.

It could work better if the show did anything to establish that the real world is extremely boring/safe in the future, as I remember someone mentioning is the case.

That would be hilarious and now I want it to happen, but there's no way she'd be that dumb. Unless Ford rigs Abernathy somehow.

So in that flashback he was a younger robot?

It's pretty obvious, but some people are still in denial because they think it's stupid. I get it. Why should we invest on something that will have at best marginal consequenes to what's happening "now"?

Wouldn't be much of a test if it was the same thing every time.

No, they covered that. None of the staff from those days works at the park still. Also, Logan had his team of lawyers try to find something about Ford's partner, because he was a mystery, but they came out empty, there isn't even a picture of him anywhere (wink wink).

The "Arnold" in that picture was Ford's father. That's why Bernard calls him "…Arnold?" when he finds the house. Also, there's clearly room for a third person in that picture. That person is Arnold. We didn't see him because Bernard was programmed to ignore him.

Maybe one single shot of 3.

Ford has a backstory.

Well, I can sorta see where he's coming from. The term was originally meant to describe a fanfiction character that represents the author, right? So that person can vicariously "experience" the world they are a fan of through a perfect vessel that all the other characters love and admire? I wouldn't say William fits…

Negan is maybe Kirkman's worst creation. I think the idea was that his wackiness would make him feel unpredictable, but at the same time he's constantly announcing everything he's going to do. It's kinda baffling.

Just watched episode 2. No "new" logo in that scene.

The guitar and steering wheel flying at the camera in that shot are NOT CGI:

You forgot the ", see?"

Can it be considered "replication" when you're actually, you know, doing it? But I know what you mean. A couple of them look pretty fluid though.

Now I'm watching That '70s Show clips on YouTube and I get this scene:

Guilt and fame.
