that’s her backstory; felix tells her she’s only been in that position for about a year. before that, she was with the little girl.

dolores says this, too, in one of the interviews with bernard.

“What started as a sci-fi romp in the Wild West has become top five most depressing shows on television.”

oh man. this whole blind trust thing is giving me such anxiety. i can’t believe he has the option to “put his kids in charge” and tell us not to worry, and to just trust him. sorry, dude. more than half the voters don’t.

probably creative license on the part of the show’s designers. something obviously wrong with the corpse to elicit the confederado commander’s response.

that’s misleading because 2008 was a record-year, and not even Obama got the same turnout in 2012. and it looks like HRC is going to be closer to 2012 levels once all votes are in. not bad for an “unexciting” etc. etc. candidate. the difference is where the voters live. i can’t to start crunching those numbers.

did ford reinforce that with bernard? i remember him doing it with the tech, who covered one of the hosts. also, even if they did have this interaction, it just reinforces that no one knows who is what. because i don’t think the board member knew bernard was a host. she thought she genuinely fired him after placing…

dead guy on the horse was filled with nitroglycerin. i think that was the nitroglycerin coming out of his eyes.

probably because the hosts are filled with fluids (theirs and others...)

yay! i’ve been waiting for this. all i knew was anthony hopkins looked hannibal lector crazy when they were messing with clementine. so i knew something extra creepy was about to happen.

aw, i love this. thanks for saying this.

actually, family circle—the magazine the recipes appeared in—actually created this in 1992, precisely because of her comment.

well, i think the image actually exists since we see it on kissy’s scalp. of course, this assumes that the MiB is a human. but i think all signs point to yes on that point. and then is imaginary when dolores sees it/interacts with it.

interesting idea. but i’m not buying that either, based on his conversation with ford. i love this show—so much fun speculation.

beautifully written. thanks for sharing.

not to thwart my own ideas, but do you think dolores is imagining the maze image? like it’s arnold fooling around with her program to recognize when she’s going down the right path/influence her “decisions”? i do think it’s pretty cool that she’s lasted this long. 34 years is a long time when so many other of the…

to me, it really felt like he was looking for it in general and not “how do i get back to this thing i know about, but can’t seem to find.”

i just really wonder if this wasn’t arnold’s original intent—to destroy westworld as a place where humans could come and destroy/desbase the hosts, with the hosts having very little agency. maybe arnold just wanted people to learn something without all the violence perpetrated against “helpless” hosts. maybe he wanted…

i’m not buying the MiB as William because he would know about the maze already, if he’s going along with Dolores in the past, because how do you not notice a maze, or dolores’ search for one? and everything up to this point has been the MiB searching for another level of the game. unless all this means is they don’t…
