Exactly, including the "karate lessons" that she herself is giving Paige, and asking if that's stupid.

Porn doesn't typically focus on the emotions and the honest feelings/opinions/desires of the women.

I think the question of consent is already there, particularly at the end when the blonde women sells her "forgiveness". Basically, can you really call it consent when it is bought? And when the women have no other choice but to sell?

Not to mention, simply having the baby in the same place as where he lives is going to upend his life, let alone expecting him to help raise it, all without asking how he feels about it, is a total dick move. She's practically giving him an ultimatum: help me with my baby or move out.

Noah has her beat though.

Please explain why Dolores is having flashbacks to 30 years ago while she is currently with William. Or thematically, why it would be satisfying (or even make sense) for her current awakening of consciousness to be completely undone just to go back to her rancher's daughter rape loop 30 years later just to fit the…

I agree, but it was because of her adventures with Arnold, some of which are exhibited in her flashbacks. She only just met William.

while technically true, you can't deny it has been the female prostitutes and female nudity that has been emphasized and highlighted. You have to go out of your way to notice the males you speak of.

I assume the "nightmares" she talks about are the flashbacks back to the Arnold timeline, not diagnostics. I think she spoke to Ford and Bernard before she escaped her loop and hasn't been back since.

I'm thinking this is the one example where multiple timelines can be applied (as opposed to the whole William/MIB nonsense). At the start of the series, there were talks of malfunctions occurring due to the reveries/recent upgrade, causing many hosts to be recalled and "interviewed". Dolores's went on longer than…

This is in contradiction to the fact that Bernard was asked why he kept taking Dolores out of rotation.

How would that explain Dolores having flashbacks to the Church, etc in the same timeline as William and Logan?

If the system doesn't reward that it wouldn't be unlike the majority of video games that don't let you avoid combat and violence to get to the next level/move the story forward.

1.) I think he's human. Even the park employees comment on him and said "that guest gets whatever he wants", presumably because of how much money he's been plopping down for 30 years. He's VIP at this point.

seems more like exploring the types of people that would WANT to pay just for simulated rape, torture, and murder (though many video games are just that) In and of itself, this should be disturbing, but it's also bound to attract sociopaths.

Not only that, how do they even know if some other event was going to be disturbed by their changing the future that also led to Frank not being born? It's not as if only one variable is at play here! (And even among the one variable they place importance on, whose to say the direct ancestor of Frank was born in the…

the acting is on point, but those high tech eye lash extensions all the actresses wear these days certainly help too

I have to say I am so let down. I was really looking forward to an interesting character study and critique of people and their belief systems, how they come to believe, how their belief affects their lives and relationship dynamics, etc (albeit heightened for TV drama).

I'm late to the discussion, and have only gotten this far into the season, but so far I keep reading references in the comments about Eddie's "vision" as if it was actually a true vision. It wasn't! It was even confirmed in this episode when Miranda told Cal that Eddie LEFT and when he came back he was yelling that…

I agree, but I'm betting Paige's anguish will have more to do with the obvious fight training her mother has had, forcing her to wonder how often its used. Her parents are not the non-violent missionaries they have made themselves out to be, and thus have been lying to her.
