Took me forever to figure out where I knew the leader of the people with Bernard was, and it's Sonny from Into the Badlands. I loved that show, for all it's camp it really was fun to watch.

I’m enjoying that not only is The Rehearsal doing Bernard’s plot from this season, but it’s way more dramatic and compelling.

I don't really get the feeling that she is some version/variant of Delores that aspect just isn't working.

I just often feel like she’s playing just a ever so slightly different version of bland in everything she does. Her Charlotte/Dolores character on Westworld having the smug factor turned up to 11 doesn’t really endear her performance to anyone, either.  Though there’s a few episodes left this season, so maybe i’ll be proven wrong.

I am extremely looking forward, on the other hand, to seeing a resurrected Maeve working alongside Bernard & Pals to bring down that evil WiFi tower with her mind and/or large shape charges. That poo poo could be awesome.

I had to check out Tessa Thompson's iMDB to see if there was something I've enjoyed her in and there is! I liked her in Sorry To Bother You and iirc she was fine to good in Veronica Mars.

this might be a dumb question but why didn't they just kill halores. like immediately. kill her, rip her head off. sure she probably has more copies somewhere or whatever but they just needed to know what her plan was right, they didn't actually need her for anything? seems like a good course of action would've been to kill her, finish off the william host, then just take your time in the lab working stuff out before whatever william and halores backups turn up because if i'm maeve or caleb gently caress if i'm listening to her obnoxious monologuing for even one more second than i have to. especially after she's already put the flies in my brain. "maeve, she put flies in my head, loving kill her already"

What a fun moment when Caleb overcomes the flies and triumphantly shoots old Jimmi Simpson and hes so proud and gives a sweet line to Hale and Maeve is so proud too shes looking back over her shoulder at him like yeah we did it and then he gets up because oh yeah, everyone in the scene knows you didn't actually solve anything by shooting a robot one time

Very rarely is a gunshot going to do jack poo poo other than make everything worse. (The correct way to fight is robot jedi mind tricks while the soundtrack kicks in at full volume and is kicking rad while everyone wears awesome wardrobes in perfect environments.) Also, holy poo poo does Teddy and D have amazing chemistry. That restaurant scene was fire.

I like to believe we’re to the point in the campaign that the Game Master would be letting William’s player upgrade his character’s morph with combat hardware. Honestly, it would have been cooler if the BAR had actually ripped William in half, but he still made shot Maeve because he’s crawling around like Bishop at the end of Aliens.

So is Dolores in the real world or a simulated world? I figured it was a simulated world, but the latest episode makes it seem like it could be that she's in the real world full of humans controlled by the parasite. When she writes her story lines for the game, those are then being played out by real people controlled by the parasite. And now that I'm thinking about it, people kept contacting her about "the tower" and now there is a big tower with the big mind control speaker on it. So maybe she's writing game pitches, but then the company is taking them and making real people do it to keep testing the parasite.

I think Bernard and Lesser Liam are joining the Resistance against Queen Hale and will use Maeve, of course, Caleb re-instanced as a host, most likely to combat his own daughter since she in Resistance leadership and Dolores is definitely writing the lives of parasite infected citizens and doesn’t realize it. Or, real simple: Hale = SkyNet and Maeve = Sarah Connor

stephenthinkpad posted:So can somebody explain the s4 timelines to me like I am 10? 26 years ago: Charlorris develops some kind of mind control, infects population using flies + takes over government with synths. Caleb and Maev try to follow that trail and get jumped. Caleb is uploaded into a synth and running through simulation. In between: some kind of crap is going where mind controlled humans are in their IRL simulation, which gets reset occasionally? Dolores respawns and is involved in it somehow (she works at the same building where Charlorris keeps Caleb). Now: Bernard comes out of statis, and simulated a whole bunch of possibilities, meets up with C (Calebs daughter) and leads her to where Maev is buried to use her as weapon.

I think Dolores and Teddy are in the real world because of how her roommate talks about the flies getting her and her parents. Dolores might be the Dolores that was in Hale, and Hale purged her somehow? Or there were backups or something. No explanation for Teddy, but he remembers who he used to be. He's probably a good guy here.

For those of you annoyed by black boxes, I am making a half joking argument that this season is good because it’s basically a Terminator movie and Hale pulled a ‘soft SkyNet’.

So Caleb isn't dead, like William they're frozen in a facility somewhere, streaming a bootlgged version of their minds out to a Host body with built-in limiters? The host versions clearly don't remember each iteration, but the human versions most likely do. I imagine there's sweet revenge for Delores in William living is a tortured slave. Calebs situation is less clear, why do it to him?

I wonder if Bernard was super loving thirsty when he woke up. Obviously, host flesh doesn’t degrade or at least decay, when protected from the elements. Though, you would assume that it still requires hydration to keep it’s synthetic muscles working. You’d think he’d dry out after a couple decades.

Writers missed out on Stubbs showing up with a cooler full of Gatorades for Bernard and stands there in awe as Bernard chugs, like, 20 of them. Consecutively. Then he burps for 20 seconds and says “Alright. Let’s go.”

BooDooBoo posted:So Caleb isn't dead, like William they're frozen in a facility somewhere, streaming a bootlgged version of their minds out to a Host body with built-in limiters? No, Caleb is (probably) actually dead. A big part of the earlier seasons is how one main purpose of Westworld was to collect training data on people, allowing the creation of host copies. William isn't aware of what his host copies are doing either, beyond when he's defrosted and taunted about it. stephenthinkpad posted:And he doesn't bother to wipe the spider web off Bernard. Not even use a duster. Hey, Bernard said not to touch anything! With the tower, it seems to be a clear mirror of hosts in a park. The housemate doesn't know what the tower is, looks like part of the instructions given to humans is that the control towers don't look like anything to them.

Yeah, it's kind of funny to think about the logistics of Stubbs and Bernard chilling out in some motel room for 23 years, it would probably make more sense if it had been a private home. And you'd think Stubbs would have dusted the place but I suppose you might not want to interrupt Bernard's adventures in the sublime.
