Yeah, I took it as the MIB knowing that one of Teddy's prime objectives is to protect Dolores. Wyatt didn't attack the ranch and abduct her, MIB just wanted Teddy to hustle.

That's a really good catch, and an interesting idea!
Or - we already know there are multiple bodies of the same characters, swapping them out if they get injured so there's less downtime, so maybe their consciousness gets linked to a model in the basement while the surface body is "sleeping".

I love the weirdo medieval tinge they put on the music for the Kingdom. And Jerry! Love Jerry.

So will everyone who was on both be playing double roles? That'll be weird. I know Sarah Paulson did it on Hotel but that was just one episode so it seemed more of a curiosity. An entire season of that sounds messy as hell.

She's been around. She was standing behind the deer at the beginning of the episode and she was the figure Diana saw before her car crashed last week.

Yeah I didn't believe it was going to happen either, just a lot of wistful thinking from some who like to say they knew it all along. I am surprised at the ghosts being all unknowns, but in a good way. That real Butcher was creepy as shit.

So I guess they cast unknowns as the real ghosts because they knew we'd all be speculating on who would play which and if La Lange would dare return for a cameo. Turns out they're all just moldy gross anonymous ghost people! Damn you, Murphy.

I suspect he's the board's rep, smug little fuck.

Maybe Logan is the rep, he was talking about their company raising stakes in the park and told William their trip is also about work.

Those extra long fake lashes were so garish!

Her blow up at Shelby over the "too late" comment was gorgeous in its cringey twatitude. It's hard for me to dislike Sarah Paulson but Audrey is really pushing it, although the sad Paulson eyes when she talked about being away from Rory tugged a bit at the heartstrings.

Ad revenue, baby! Gotta milk that cow.

Matt seems so resigned to everything, it definitely feels like he knows something the others don't.
But not necessarily even in a sinister way, as much as fatalistic. I guess we'll see…

I noticed that just as it was ending, it went so quick!, and then had to rewind to see who played the real Elias. I didn't recognize him though.

Maeve was replaced as madam by Clementine in episode 2, after her interactions were going screwy. They cleaned her up and stuck her back in the saloon but maybe Clem is still the madam right now because Maeve is on probation?

I think she was remembering past loops as this loop was happening, like her father being the previous Abernathy and getting shot when she ran back towards the house.

So she's actually only raped if a black hat guest decides to play out the "attack the ranch" quest? That actually makes me feel better for poor Dolores.
The first ranch attack we see is because the MIB brought the bandits there, and the last one from this week is because at least one guest (creepy creeper from town)…

I know what you mean. It's the same inflection every time, like an obvious response from her programming.
I re-watch her interview scenes again and again just to revel in the micro-expressions and tone of voice. Evan Rachel Wood is astounding as Dolores.

Well we've heard her hear the voice before, when she woke up and unearthed the gun. Someone is giving her commands, whether it's from in her head (her newfound consciousness?) or outside we don't know yet. They could have gotten away with just an expression but I think they're explicitly tying it into the sleepwalking.

Right? If she had said "Who the fuck are you, Galileo?" it would have sounded far more natural and still been sweary. Where's the flow?
