It’s also notable that Ford essentially gave up on humanity in favor of the Hosts; and Serac, while also giving up on humanity’s ability to direct itself, never really wanted to give them up entirely. Serac genuinely wants humanity to succeed (at what, he likely has never even considered) and he wants to force them…

Might as well get that cheeseburger I wanted instead of this salad, if I’m going to be fat anyway.

I’m thinking her...lethargy in that scene is more from the taser than anything else. Bad things happen when you shock a computer, and I don’t think that Dolores has a typical (and more insulated) host body this time around (previews and lack of blood when shot.)

The initial meet with Caleb though, was before she replaced SecurityGuy. While I can buy the second meet being a set up, I can’t buy that the first was. I think she was taken by surprise, and the taser messed her up more than we’re used to expecting with her.

Bald head and full beard was a little...odd looking, though.

It focuses on dead-end character Dolores. The least interesting person in Westworld, and when one of your more interesting characters is Teddy, that’s really saying something.

Is it that she’s not careful, or is it that she’s gotten extremely arrogant? I kind of vacillate back and forth on that judgement.

I think that reaction is most likely because he saw that shot that went right through her but didn’t stop (or faze) her.

Status? Control? There’s probably a lot of stuff that it’s about, but it’s not really about her, it’s about him. I think, anyway.

We had one that lasted about a month and a half, I think. At one point people were adding instructions to their office co-workers on how to get off the reply chain. Via reply all.

Ugh, mine is Kevita, and I’m ready to murder someone to get to a Whole Foods right now to stock up.

Size 6? Where were you that some idiot called you obese? Although it does remind me of being out at a bar and seeing some jackass completely crush his date (who couldn’t have been any bigger than a size 8) by telling her “you’d be really cute if you lost 40 pounds.”)

Maybe do a batter bread? You can do savory muffin loaves that require no kneading at all.

I know most people hate the idea, but have you tried frozen? Really only works if you were planning to cook with the greens and peppers, though. I always have a bag of frozen mixed bell peppers because I tend to just eat them when I get them fresh, and then I don’t have them for whatever recipe I was going to buy them…

And it is actual cheese. When it was first formulated it was known as embalmed cheese, which...well let’s face it, the reason they stopped calling it that is blatantly obvious, isn’t it?

No, but the original recipes for mince(meat) pie did. 🤓 (Not hamburger per se, but mince which is their term for ground meat.)

She’s the kind of “marketable” pretty that they look for in so many visual industries here. I’ve always thought she didn’t have much life or character to her face (at least until she started to age) but again, that’s what they look for. She’s “pretty” by default because she and those who look like her embody the…

What I’m having trouble with is whether it’s a bad question by design. If it is, it lets them give the appearance of approval even though it’s not actually approval.

Really makes it clear why newspapers are dying, and the danger of homogenizing the industry. Our paper here is owned by Gannett, and has largely just turned into a delivery system for USA Today, which hasn’t covered real news since...ever.

Same here, but I think I have a copy. Might be a good weekend to dig it up.
