I think folks are being a little premature in saying this second season is going to suck.

All shows that get a second season suck. The only good shows are single season gems that were cancelled too soon.

"Character dies in every episode on the first day of increasingly undangerous jobs" is an incredible premise for a show and I'd watch the hell out of it

Wasn't there a single season "good spy vs evil spy" show where the evil spy died every episode?

We're obviously gonna need four threads. One free-for-all, one no theories, one that includes the producer reveals but not theories based on the reveals, and one for theories from those that don't read the reveals.

Need something explained. On episode 3 season 1, Dolores gets taken into the barn, thrown on hay and she realizes she took the bad guys gun. She has a vision of the man in black and then shoots the bad guy. She runs off. Later at the end of the episode , she meets William and falls in his arms.

Assuming it’s the same Dolores from that hay scene, how did she have a vision of the man in Black ?

It was just an editing trick.

(Such tricks are one reason why I wonder if the show would've been better without "two timeframes" thing, but whatever.)

I speculated on this earlier, that they might be entirely autonomous to protect against tampering, but the tiger kinda sinks that idea. Or at least means it's an active signal, rather than fail-deadly solution. The fact that the tiger could ignore it sorta seems to indicate that it'd only work on non-malfunctioning hosts though, which doesn't seem particularly useful - at most it'd reduce the number of potential malfunctioning hosts.

They can obviously turn it off, so I don't see why they can't activate it except for plot purposes.

The mentioned in the first episode of this season that Ford must have changed the guns so that it detects the guests as hosts.

It is weird that that would be network thing that can be switched, rather than that just being a permanent feature in the bullets' tech, but okay, I guess they just wanted to handwave that and get to the action.

I don't really give a poo poo about gun tech, but if it was the gun sensors determining to kill or not it would've killed the rajworld guy in the intro.

I'm assuming that the first part was before the party and the hunt was after the party.

. (If the admins had to stop a host from killing another host, for instance, they might remotely jam their guns. So there's gotta be some kind of network capable of accessing those guns)

Has there been a throwaway line about QA trying and failing to do stuff with the network? Since they did use to jam guns and crap normally.

I'm in the camp that the ghost nation is separate from the other hosts and they are rounding up real humans to save them. Otherwise, why would they randomly just want Sizemore and let the other two leave?

They're probably getting the humans because they're under Elsie's control. If Sizemore had gone with them, he'd be chilling with Elsie and Stubbs right now.

That is problem for some people. They don't think the main character does a good job at all, and we lost Anthony Hopkins.

Another problem is that because we don't know what "Glory" is, we don't have a reason to care about anyone's journey for it right now. That makes the plot feel aimless.

Im doing a rewatch of season one and there are early scenes of Bernard video calling his ex-wife. Are we supposed to assume those were implanted memories then and what we saw was just the memory Bernard has and the conversation and woman didn't actually exist? Iirc it never comes up again right?
