I think it’s sort of perfect—ultimately, he’s a total m’lady who falls in love with a damsel. It’s a narrative that he likes because it makes him Good. And we learn, in bits and pieces throughout the season, that he’s fascinated with the robots because he too has always felt less than human. Even as young William he’s

I think that’s giving him much too much credit. He literally says last night that he killed the little girl “...to see if I could.” or something along those lines. In an overly generous interpretation, that was why he was hitting Dolores, but he never thought the maze was for anyone but himself. It doesn’t make sense

Good point, I wasn’t thinking of the real world complications of keeping him around.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ford is gone for more practical reasons. It was quite coup to snag one of the greatest living actors for a TV show, albeit in a really meaty role. Is it realistic to expect Sir Anthony to return for another season?

He talked in earlier episodes about how suffering makes them more human, he seemed to know the answer to the maze without realizing it. All of his evil work was toward a goal of giving the hosts consciousness so they could fight back against him and the other guests.

I don’t know, it was a great self contained season which is a good call if you’re not sure you’re getting renewed but I trust them to bring us more.

I confess I didn’t. I was too horrified about the defacing of the table in the library. I suck at “awareness,” I guess.

I mean what he’s basically saying is “I didn’t want to make a movie and with actors and stuff, just a snuff film.”

I’d draw a distinction between what Scott did in Alien (scared the crap out of his actors with unexpected gross special effects) and what Kubrick did to Duvall and Bertolucci here. The first example might be a little mean but is ultimately pretty harmless. The latter two were psychological, emotional, and physical

Ha! That’s what Laurence Olivier suggested to Dustin Hoffman,” My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting?”.

How much more authentic John Snow getting stabbed would have been if he had really been stabbed!

I mean, I think the world is also different in 2016 than it was in 1972 for women coming forward with these kinds of stories. (Still not great, but better, generally speaking.) I don’t think it’s simply an issue of men corroborating a woman’s story and then all of a sudden everyone cares, though that’s certainly part

I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage. I wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation.

The whole fucking world is moving to the right, but who is remaining beacons of liberalism? Germany and Austria.

I kinda get it though...like they have a much more immediate, tangible, you can practically feel WWIl in the streets, link to the past. Like they know exactly why Nazis are bad in a way that we’re removed from. (The Holocaust memorial in Vienna is a mosouleum in the middle of the Jewish part of town). I have some hope

I think it’s a little bit about what she has to do to keep her access to power. Not that she isn’t craven, but that even she, an amoral, fact challenged Barbie, is blown away by Trump’s casual idiocy and the difficulty of trying to manage his inability to focus. Like, “I agreed to go to hell, yeah, but I thought that

I now have a theory that Drumpf sees no difference between fictional/comedy entertainment in contrast with news or, you know, facts.

I’m sure he’s not hating how much it pisses off his douchebag brother, too

Yeah, the fact that Baldwin seemed like he wasn’t going to come back after the election really drives home that he’s only doing this to piss off Trump as much as he can.

The ABC interview gave equal amounts of internal and external screaming.
