Come on, that's an absurd reason to find their actions grotesque. Olivia is a minor character, someone we barely knew. She wasn't going to get the Glenn treatment, complete with burial, cast members crying, and people talking at the grave. Just assume they buried her respectfully sometime offscreen. I mean, I doubt…

Swear to god, so did I. That would have been really funny. "I used to be the god-damned mâitre'd at the Waldorf Astoria in Kansas City. Do. It. Right. Salad forks outside, Carl, 'cause you use 'em first!"

My husband's quite tall, so i'll have to tell him he's doing it wrong. :-) (Oh, and I used to work in the music industry, and one of the American composers we represented was Stephen Paulus.)

Ah! You rock! (Although I have a preferential bias toward Pauls: my husband is a Paul. :-) )

Oh, dang! Really? I missed it, and didn't see any reviewers pick up on it. Thanks, Crooked Paul!

Because she increased his administrative privileges, but only to a certain degree. That's not the same as programming him to agree with her, to follow her, to fight for her. She *convinced* him to do that, and then loosened his privileges leash just enough so that he *could*.

"Mab" (sometimes seen as "Queen Mab") is definitely an allusion to the Celtic Maeve (or in Gaelic, Medhbha). And I hoped from the first episode that there was something to Maeve's name related to the Celtic myth! Something else interesting is that Maeve was originally considered to be the personification of the…

On the Delos website it mentions that hosts generally are returned to the same techs for repair. Probably because being familiar with the physicalities of a particular host makes the repairs go faster.

But you can't divorce their names from the fact that this is a fictional world and that somebody deliberately wrote them as such. I doubt it was to make the point that in the future, those names have come back into fashion.

By that token, the wrong tech was working with Tweety Bird.

No, Maeve explicitly told Hector that she *could* program him to do what she wanted, but that wasn't her way. She wanted to convince him, not coerce him.

Right, it doesn't happen all at once, but I thought the implication was that only certain hosts had the 'spark of life' or whatever code would ignite that. I've watched the whole season multiple times, but not specifically with that in mind. I think it's time for another rewatch… :-) This show really rewards you on…

Oh, ha. I get those, too, but have been too busy to read the 11/30 one yet! Thanks.

That's part of my problem with the killing of Bernard. Everyone's referring to Ford being the puppet master, but he couldn't foresee *everything*. What if Hector or Armistice had killed both Sylvester and Felix before they got down to the cold storage area and found Bernard? Could they have fixed him themselves?

So we've for sure got Maeve, Dolores, Bernard, Abernathy, possibly Hector and Armistice (not 100% sure if that was sentience, or just continuing programmed behaviors), and from the last look he gave, I'm pretty sure Rebus, too. We can assume that the hosts who have achieved (or have the potential to achieve) sentience…

I think Dolores just wants to *live*; Maeve wants to rule.

Lower East Side World.

Enjoyed the finale, maybe not as much as some of the other episodes, but we got some great stuff in there. Loved Samurai World, and hope we get to see more parks. Loved that Clementine was with the rough army that was coming out of the tree line — the way they framed the shot, it almost looked like she was *leading*…

I'd vote this up 15 times if I could.
