As the show goes on, I'm having a harder time reconciling the film-Hammond-esque Ford we got in the first few episodes with the novel-Hammond we've been getting since. Does that line up with the long halt in production at all?

Ford's new narrative is based on Delores (and maybe even teddy's?) actions 30 years prior. That's why the town was rebuilt, and his whole like about the new narrative being "a fiction that, like all great stories, is rooted in truth" the first time he discussed it. To what end? No idea.

the annoying, and probably correct, explanation is that delores arriving at the church tonight is the first time we've seen present day Delores since the night she got shot in the gut. Hopefully some of next week's 90 minutes will be spent telling us what she's been up to for the past week or so in show-time.

WE ARE BRRRRROTHERS!

It was implied they were sterile, so I guess he wanted a family? A few deleted scenes detail him watching a few generations of adopted children grow old and die, though, which you'd think would put him off of the whole concept.

Take off.

Gary Oldman can only do an american accent when doing an 'inside voice'. Any time he raises his voice, he becomes so, so English. His 'THEY KNEW WERE COMING!' from The Dark Knight is frequently quoted in my household.

Julia Child was from Southern California, born of new englander parents. Who the hell knows where her accent came from?

This is the world of television, where being knocked unconscious isn't an incredibly harmful thing. I loved MiB telling Teddy that he wouldn't be able to do anything that would 'leave a lasting mark' immediately after he gave him a TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.

It was something along the lines of 'y'know, I've been coming here 30 years and I still can't figure out why they paired some of you off' referring to their doomed romance.

First episode, said to Teddy and Delores.

Yeah, I mean, she literally cut his throat in this episode. There's no level of 'I really need this job' that is believable after a robot almost murders you on the job. Short of the techs turning out to be hosts (which is still a possibility), nothing about Sylvester as a character works for me at this point.

On the Abernathy point, I'm worried it will just be an incredibly unlikely coincidence. If she did know, why pick a known-to-be-defective-and-erratic host be be your mule? They'll pump him full of data, he'll remember his 'protect Delores' mission, storyline guy will die horrifically, and the corporate characters…

Outside of 3, these are all things that we, as an audience, already knew. We've seen Delores hallucinate before. We knew MiB was a philanthropist in the real world. We knew Theresa was working for the board because she told us she was.

I don't think it's really a need to have everything spelled out as much as a desire to believe that all of the hints, references, and inconsistencies are leading to a cohesive whole. I've been in the same boat since around episode 5 - I've already done 6 seasons of 'Lost' once, I'm hesitant to get onboard the 'very…

We, as an internet hive mind, have decided the thing we thought was great 6 months ago now sucks and always sucked.

Apparently, Frank Miller initially wrote the RoboCop 2 and 3 scripts as a single film, and the studio had them separated and that's how we ended up with the movies we did.

You know, I was half sure reading the article that the 'intro from SJ' would be addressing the whole race thing.

Are we watching the same trailer at the top of the page?

hell, she called Superman 'Clark' in front of a dozen DEO people at the start of the season.
