Oh, yeah, I was just trying to be funny. To me it actually looked like a crown of thorns or something.

Dolores is totally mimicking Bernarnold here, playing the master. But I’m having trouble telling if this is Dolores as just another character or really “her.”

Yes, of course. They’re flashbacks in a technical sense. I just don’t think its necessarily Bernarnold who “remembers” them.

The fact that we think we have anything figured out (even remotely) is ludicrous. There could be 5 time lines and about a millions twists coming for all we know. I choose to love that about this show, never being able to tell who’s who and who’s human in the first place.

First off, I can’t get enough of Ramin’s score. Absolutely love it. Secondly, ERW riding at full speed shooting guests with precision was a delight.

Reading the comments afterwards tells me that Zack didn’t seem to be paying too much attention, though.

I know it’s a stretch BUT there is one other red card we can clearly see in the hands of the Delos security guard. The man on it looks very much like the guest that horseback-jesus-hippie tells to get lost. Maybe that’s Logan?

I had the same thought about the Bernarnold in the opening scene with Dolores. Admitting he’s frightened of her somehow wasn’t a Bernard thing to say. I didn’t buy her whole innocent routine either.

I’m not convinced she’s there yet because she is still focused on the world within the park while Dolores and the others seem to have transcended that stage. She’s still too tied up with the emotional baggage in her “memories.”

My theory: their story ends there because that’s when Ford’s game is over, Teddy is dead, and Dolores leaves the nest. Hope it’s not true, though, ‘cause that was way too easy.

Also:

I think this has to be an artificial island fore sure. Look at the sheer size of this thing. There are at least six parks on it. Six! And Stubby refers to the what’s in the valley as a “sea” not a lake.

The idea of robots that can “sniff” DNA and have machine synthesize it afterwards is making me feel all kinds of sick.

I was thinking, all that stuff about being an android and seeing hundreds of people (and “people”) murdered, might have cooked the fluid around his “Cortex” maybe?

When Bernard figures out where Abernathy is, you can clearly see that it’s his Medical file he was looking at, his name is in the top right line of text on the screen.

In that case he should really know how to spell Delos, though...

Her old programming was homesteader and mother, though, and that’s all this memory of her daughter really is in the end, old programming.

What’s with the whole naming thing? Here its “Part Contagion Five” and, if I remember correctly, in episode one it was “Part One” followed by “Chapter Two” and “Part Three”

Did you guys also see dirt on (and around) the cow every time it popped up or was that just me?

I think Russo worked on Channel Zero, too, recently?
