It could also show that he has done this many times before … that murder is common enough for him that he is not even interested enough to watch.

I do like the notion that Felix is a host. That could definitely explain why he has been so accommodating to Maeve, even in the face of what seems (to me) like very little leverage over him and opportunities for him to put a stop to her (such as turning her intelligence to the lowest instead of highest setting). And…

Leading to an even bigger question:

Ummm … because she's hot?

I find this basically unwatchable.
