Well I'm still angry abut the Great Oxygenation. Damn cyanobacteria and their eldritch metabolism!

And this is what happens when they actually shut up and take your money.

You know what? He absolutely could be. By which I mean Anthony Hopkins could play the hell out of an aged vampire in a post-Portia world.

Yeah, that was the problem with this. However, since he's the architect of all this, he could be the exception. On the other hand, part of his back story serves as the back story for his own child replica.

Also, I'm beginning to believe there's a rule for finding out who's a robot. If they have a back story, they're a host, if they don't, they're human. Compare all we know about Bernard's back story, and all we knew about Theresa's, for instance.

As a Peter Watts fan, I loved the part in this episode where Ford describes consciousness as basically a handicap, there mainly for secondary purposes. Seriously, if that sounded interesting to anybody, go read Blindsight and Echopraxia. Self awareness is just a glitch people! I'm telling you, just a glitch! All the…

If Bernard is Arnold's robot replica, then, as much as I hate the whole theory about Dolores' arc being in the past (about which, by the way, the host they blew up, all chunks of meat, not perfect little pieces or however MIB described them), it would make sense that the "Bernard" we saw having secretive meetings with…

Yes sorry, Arnold, I always tend to substitute Arnold with Arthur for some reason, has caused real life embarrassment in the past.

I like it, "Darth Vader Prequel Syndrome". It beats "self fellating ouroboros story telling".

I'm thinking two possibilities, the diagnostic doesn't happen in person, the hosts are connecting wirelessly for this. Or more simply, the guests are informed that during their adventure the hosts will periodically wander away for diagnostics, it may somewhat ruin their immersion but it has to be done, thank you for…

For some time I've been considering the possibility that this diagnostics are not happening "in person". They may be happening wirelessly, with the humans in a Virtual Reality tank, such as tank was mentioned in this episode after all.

Yep, I thought exactly the same thing when finding out about that theory in this same thread. This people are getting too invested in it and if it doesn't happen, they'll hate the show.
The worst part about that different timelines thing is that it would completely ruin Dolores' arc, ending it, at lest for this season,…

Going by what has been said about the bicameral brain, I'd say it signifies how her personality is integrating, from someone who experiences inner monologue as someone else's voice, to someone who identifies that inner voice with her own. I think one of the times she heard that voice in this episode, it sounded less…

All right, so what I'm getting from this episode is that Dolores wasn't actually created to be raped over and over by people who completed her "game", like it was assumed before, and that she was actually put in that loop by Ford out of spite for whatever she did thirty four years ago when she was supposed to help…

Well, now I know why I liked Shades so much.

Yep, the guy's just not very good. But I think he was slightly better on Jessica Jones, although maybe I just don't remember. I'm putting some of the blame on the directing, I suspect they thought "this guy's powerful, he's stoic, he's the name which will bring the viewers in, let's not tinker with him lest we anger…

Oh god, Diamondback was awful. The show took a nosedive for me after he showed up. I just had to take refuge on Shades for the rest of the season.

Yep, that's pretty much the conclusion I reached after watching the show, Luke Cage was the weakest part, followed closely by the most unbelievably incompetent police department ever (they're not even evilly incompetent, just suicidally incompetent). I ended up realizing that a show entirely about Mariah and…

Oh for Chthon's sake, how I cringe every time they use that awful nickname of Yo-Yo. I like that character a lot, but I hate the nickname. Can we have a Daisy pulled on her and change it to something less ridiculous, like Speedy McFast The Amazing Returning Girl or something?
