I suspect they’re playing catch-up - until Ford set all kinds of hell loose, they could stop hosts with command words and couldn’t be shot by them. Given the park had run without major incident for 30 years, you could see security being scaled back to save on costs

I have a feeling that Maeve was set in motion by someone else. It doesn’t seem to fit Ford’s narrative.

The way you wrote created a false equivalency. You made it sound like they had done exactly the same thing, without noting that Polanski’s crimes were far worse. He plea-bargained statutory rape to avoid getting hit with a rape charge which is why the judge decided that he should be given jail time in line with the…

I prefer “Equal opportunities - Hollywood Style”

Do you get the feeling they only booted Polanski because they couldn’t justify kicking Cosby out and not doing the same to Polanski? The timing is a little suspect...

Did Bowie and Jagger drug an underage girl before raping her? We’re not talking about consensual sex with someone beneath the age of consent (as predatory as that is), Polanski gave her drugs that left her incapable of giving consent. Fleeing the country, but continuing to work and being lauded is not exactly serving…

Out of curiousity, given that the incident with Costand involved Temple directly, could withdrawing the honorary doctorate have been construed as prejudicing the jury? Would doing so have given the Cosby legal team some grounds of appeal? It’s hard to see why they didn’t do it when the details previously covered by a…

I want to know who set up Maeve to leave the park and why - When they had that dialogue in the first episode about Delos waiting for a host to be delivered outside the park, I thought that was Maeve since in season 1 they implied that someone had deliberately triggered her awakening. Now we know that Delos is waiting…

I think the issue is that he felt William saw her as a real person and was in love with her, which wouldn’t exactly work with WIlliam marrying Logan’s sister (and the implications that would have with his father being in control of Delos)

Wasn’t it the case that Logan had been to the park previously before going with William? In my mind the pitch meeting happens before Logan’s solo(?) visit (or visits) to the park prior to going there with William. In theory Arnold’s death could have occured after one of Logan’s visits

For me, Ford’s messing with William may be a way of protecting the awakening of the hosts. Knowing what William knows, and his obsessions, it could simply be a way of keeping him out of the way. We don’t know for sure at this point, but leaving a trap behind to take care of William after he himself had died feels very…

The one thing he does have on his side is that the trial failed. Despite the tape existing, the fact he was found not guilty gives people permission to ignore it. I’m troubled by that - on the one hand, you can’t have a justice system and then pick and chose what verdicts you support (it’s way too open to personal…

Has there been a trial about Dylan Farrow’s allegations? That’s why I’m wondering about him, and as for Polanski, it may be a matter of what happens if the public turn against him in whatever country he is hiding away in at the time (and possibly how he reacts if people start boycottig his films albeit a few decades…

The existing stadium argument didn’t mean anything for England’s 2018 bid, World Cups are starting to develop an Olympic reputation for leaving white elephants behind (South Africa and Brazil have issues if I recall)

What does the “yet to score a goal” add to the article beyond a cheap pop at the kids expense? It’s an ignorant way to measure certain professional midfielders if they play in a more defensive role, so what is it trying to achieve here with a 12 year old?

Make enough money for enough people and it gets easier avoiding a proper sentence, and there are plenty of people willing to defend someone talented. Will be interesting if we finally see Polanski, Allen etc get some jail time...

A friend think the strongest reason not to watch the NFL is the way they enable lots of really awful behaviour until the media pays attention to it, and try to build redemption stories out of players who miss a few games for acting like pieces of garbage. CTE is my reason for falling out of love with the sport (all I…

That’s just dumb! I mean, I could get a program looking at how teams drafted 3 or 4 years ago (given the average NFL career length), including undrafted free agents, how they panned out, how the draft would be graded now vs how it was received back then - a show like that would have some value in looking at the effect…

That’s not true - look at sport, there is no difference between what happens with aging stars with falling production against players in their prime or with huge potential. Their domestic violence or sexual assault cases are treated equally. They also do such a wonderful job helping people take an ethical stand too...

Given the blacklisting that ‘difficult’ women experience in Hollywood, especially when dealing with someone celebrated, I’d love to know how much choice they felt they had in accepting that apology
