She was a rapist with a drug addiction, not at all professional. Hence her getting restricted to a specific category of patients. Not entirely sure how she ended up getting the job, maybe she's sort an edge case that didn't manifest troubling behavior until she was actually becoming a psychiatrist so she just got dumped somewhere she could treat other rejects.

RedHotBoneEm literally charts the course of all humanity down to the individual. She probably was competent enough at her job to treat enough patients before she offs herself. The system basically allows for/maintains a level of human misery to keep humanity at a steady state. Her services as a therapist were probably useful enough to society as a whole to not get completely eugenicsed out.

Tessa Thompson was awful in season 2 but is very good in season 3 so from this one data point I can confidently say that Westworld is not a good measurement of how bad an actor is.

So...wait...is Dolohomores saying that if Caleb saw any other lady shot up and bleeding in the street, he'd ignore her? I...what....

She's saying that he questions her motives regarding saving humanity because she's a robot and that she could question his motives in continuing to help her because she's an attractive woman and men think with their dicks.

My question is why didn't Delores just give herself a combat frame from the start if the super advanced host bodies can be foiled by something simple as a white blood cell check.

smh all these boomer takes saying William is playing Counter-Strike. He's clearly turned the world into a Battle Royale. The dude is camping and letting people kill each other so he can pick off the remaining weakened targets so he can grab the good loot when it's all clear.

To continue the gamer analogy this season:

Dolores is playing the Sims
Bernard went to Gamefaqs and made a walkthrough that has branching option trees that he's checking the RNG seed against to get to the True End
Caleb is playing Dark Souls and clicking on every bloodstain and there's even a near-dead Caleb in the vent slouched in the same way as a random body holding a random soul

just straight up rape

It's basically this. It's unethical to go because at best you contribute minimally to robot suffering (except for your like $10,000 a trip funding the development of more robot torture) and in general even if you go Huntin' Bandits you're just shooting robots who have been programmed to be morally justifiable targets for your violence. All the positive experiences Hosts have are either programmed into them or grow organically from interaction with other Hosts. Once Arnold discovered that the robots were capable of sentience he realized the entire endeavour is just a moral blackhole.
