Amen.

I'm not sure where Roy Orbison fits in but :magical:

this looks so loving good.

The same song was used in Blue Velvet and helped to reboot his musical career.

I'm not sure he can have another run anymore, man.

I hope there will be some easter egg player piano song for each episode and, if so, I want the goddamn soundtrack of them.

I'm getting some The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly vibes from MiB and Teddy palling around in army uniforms a la Blondie and Tuco.

(Unsure if that should be in tags or not since it hasn't aired and was only in a preview.)

Is there a reason for an alternate Westworld logo that doesn't involve timeline fuckery?

Right, I get that idea. I'm a designer, so I know brands have/can have primary and secondary logos. But the "alternate" one is featured pretty prominently in ways that seem odd from a branding standpoint.

With six episodes to go, we're going to need something more akin to that Bagger 288 than a little finger waving to deal with this thread.

Yeah, it's Dolores.

Like, dolor. As in, sadness/sorrow/grief.

Seemingly she grieves a lot as a robot lady who has her family murdered on a fairly frequent basis.

Also forgot the (potential) significance of Hopkins' character's name being Robert Ford. Some good thinkin' there, guy.

Yeah, the tour scene was good, everything else much worse than what we got in previous episodes.
The butchers. The narrative guy. The espionage scenes.
Made me cringe a bit at the quality inconsistency.

Sizemore is by far the most obnoxious character on this show and I can't tell if it's just the overacting going on or the character's inherent douche baggery. Or both.

Seriously, gently caress any time that idiot is on screen.

Now that I think about it, Maeve and Bernard are the only two hosts (inside the park) that know they're hosts, aren't they? And why did the Girl In White out in the 'lobby' area on the way in with William not have a freakout about being a host if that's such a problem inside the park?

Is she actually aware or just programmed to say "Does it matter?" when someone asks without actually thinking it, though?

If anything is taking place in the past, then "Bernard" interviewing Dolores while she is clothed is, because that is actively out of character for Bernard.

If the idea of the photo from Ford's desk is Arnold being on the right and not seen by Bernard because he is a physical replica of Arnold, then maybe those scenes where Dolores is being interviewed clothed in the basement is Arnold, not Bernard?

Yea, that was...

I mean, lol that his daughter says he's a bad guy even though he never really did anything bad in real life. That would be like having your GTA history used against you. Or your SA history

I always ask for and verify a person's post history in real life before I feel I can judge them accurately.

With the minotaur and the other people showing up, could this be a leak of Medieval or Roman world?

Those are members of Wyatt's gang/cult. They were seen in a previous episode (albeit, at night) wearing the horns/animal masks.

my question is whether or not wyatt is going to be a new character or just dolores/maeve themselves. we already know teddy's an unreliable narrator, so the guy in the flashback could just be bullshit.

They already showed his view was bullshit in this episode when the greeter host kept pushing him to remember and all the soldiers in his memory turned into the citizens of Escalante and he was seemingly the sheriff.

I don't quite understand why no one knows what Arnold looks like, since there's a doppelganger walking around in the present. You'd think he would be kinda famous and at least have some pictures around, or a park history documentary or something.

Arnold has been written out of the history books--Ford mentions it as explicitly in the earlier episodes where he and Bernard are talking in his office.

Yeah.

There's 3 different periods that Dolores is traveling in.

In one (~35 years ago) she is wearing her dress, traveling to the town and we've now learned that it is to meet with Arnold below the church.

In another (~30 years ago) she is wearing the cowboy outfit and is traveling with William. She travels to the old town (because she is remembering her first trip there) but it winds up being buried. In this time frame she (presumably) dies after being stabbed by Logan and running away from the Confederate camp.

In the last (present) time frame, she is also wearing the cowboy outfit. This is the one that confuses everyone. But if you rewatch the whole series and pay attention when Dolores is on screen, they often switch between present-Dolores and William-Dolores very subtly. When they switch though, the two different scenes are often lit very differently and Dolores is often alone in the present time frame. (in the town talking to the little girl who draws her the maze, standing among the crosses in the graveyard, at the river's edge where they encountered the ghost nation massacre, encountering the old once-buried town, etc.)

Throughout all of it, Dolores sees flashes of herself (often dead or dying), presumably showing us that she has done this (and failed) many times before. This is setting up that Dolores has been trying to find the maze in perpetuity since the William incident (or possibly earlier).

One thing that doesn't jive with that entirely is her wearing the dress in Sweetwater when she's daydreaming and Maeve comes over and tells her to get away from the entrance to the saloon and she drops the "these violent delights have violent ends" on her and makes her start to flip out, in the sense that there hasn't been anything to indicate that Maeve was the madam (or even around) that many years ago.

I'd have to go back to the episode, but when Elsie is in the abandoned theater at the end, doesn't she yell out "Arnold?" before getting grabbed? Because in Bernard's memory of it, she says his name and not Arnold's.

At the 13 min mark there is it a clip of the next episode.

Ford and the robo arny are going to kill everyone

Christ, I hope Ford does go ham and kill Charlotte because her stifled, smug bullshit acting is bad. Bad bad.
