Ford is a host

I remember this one coming up in the last thread. I'm not sure if it's put to bed or not, but some goons were speculating that Ford was one of the first hosts. This appears unlikely, as Arnold recreated Ford's family and childhood home as a present.

I'm re-watching season 1 and I think that Ford is the man that built a house at the center of the maze that keeps coming back after he dies

Stubbs has got to be a host, he just stumbles on Bernard two weeks later? And Bernard isn't like the gently caress happened to you?

they should have voted for centrists and slowly over years and years in slow increments change would come while they asked politely for the rights all conscious beings should have

Is my memory off or were the hosts that broke out naked killing security at the end of s1 much more resilient, such that they could shrug off the smgs security were using? The ones in this episode were not so durable. Is terminator mode just for jailbroken hosts? If my memory isn't off then lol at the security employees or contractors having small calibre weapons incapable of putting down the thing they were there to possibly fight

I think maeve and her two cronies beefed them up

You joke, but that brings up an interesting point: how much is known outside of the park? We know the Chinese military have some idea, but past that, there has to be a lot of people - important/rich people, at that - who didn't come back from their holiday or this fancy shindig they were invited to. That has to raise a few red flags.

yeah but its easily covered up by picking out a few important people, like maybe the ones that are on red high priority cards, and if you do find them maybe off them anyways or if you don't find them or find them dead just replace them and say, "Welp we found him safe after our rescue mission, here he is! Nevermind the white goo dripping out his ears."

But now I'm really curious, because obviously Delos corporate didn't put that in, because they still needed Sizemore to get Abernathy out. And it doesn't really make sense for Ford because, at least as he told us, he thought simply inserting code to make hosts think they were conscious was a completely flawed way to have them realise consciousness. So who would have programmed that narrative?

maybe the hosts form of consciousness is just them writing their own narratives and it can still be accessed in their code?

maybe if we had a code reading tablet of maeve on the train her narrative would have changed to "find daughter"

I just find it funny at this point. That cradle scene cinched this as 100% a clown-rear end show to me. It wouldn't be so laughable if it wasn't trying to use these dumbass PMCs as an example of how Weak and Feeble us humans are. It's like having Dolores take candy from a baby and go all "Your kind... so weak, so helpless. But... this candy... it wasn't made for you".

maybe they're hosts too? Why waste real human lives when you can send in a bunch of robots. We already know corporate is using bots in their secret dna labs.
