Oh come on, Adam Sandler movies are way worse and I have to go back pretty far to remember a time when those didn't exist.

I think that's an assumption based on the fact that people with huge egos tend to be sort of thin-skinned, and MacFarlane clearly has a huge ego, to the point where he thought he could be a leading man in movies. Even though what I've seen of "One Million Ways…" is pretty unfunny, I think that movie wouldn't have been…

'Member season 8?

I've seen speculation that they're people, but I have no idea how that would work.

How can staff/guests move around: there is a subway system connected to elevators.

Maeve wants her body destroyed enough so that Felix can remove the explosive vertebra during the reconstruction. One assumes she calculated the risks and determined her flash drive would remain intact even after a fire.

This whole sequence constantly jumps between several time periods. It's possible to pinpoint exactly when she is in any given shot, but I think they want us to feel her confusion.

I think it was Stubbs who said something like "She's been rebuilt so many times it's like she's brand new", so it's basically the same brain in a completely different body by this point.

I think they mentioned when Maeve became the madam at the brothel, replacing Clementine. That would be right after her encounter with Ed Harris.

There's a subway system. One train was passing by when Stubbs took the elevator.

35 Years ago: Beta park, Arnold talks to Dolores, hosts are being trained, they hear voices and think it's god etc.
30 Years ago: Park recently opened, Dolores is with Wiilliam/Logan
Today: MIB/Teddy/Wyatt/Everything else.

Now Walt Disney, there's a real monster.

A photo of your sister, no less. Because that's not weird.

We've met Arnold. That was the whole point of the Dolores reveal, confirmation that it was Arnold the whole time in that basement. We also know about his backstory and personality, that was the point of the Bernard reveal.

Ford just wanted the scene to end with a bang.

Member The Wizard of Oz?

Well, it's a movie about an election inspired by a real election, so I don't think it counts as shoehorning. A movie about a terrorist attack would be relevant to discuss following 9/11.

Maybe it's accidental, and/or maybe he makes a deal with Ford so nobody knows how it happened.

I think at this point whatever the hell she's doing has probably been incorporated into Ford's new narrative too.

Yeah, it's the cuteness factor. Pigs are as smart as dogs, but we choose to eat one and pick up the other's poop. Also, save the pandas but the hagfish can go fuck itself, that thing is nasty.
