Love with Aaron Paul will turn Dolores straight and stop her from eliminating the human race and instead make everything right by killing super-AI?

That seems way too obvious for a show that spent its second season being deliberately confusing in order to fool reddit
Maybe that's exactly what's going to happen, because reddit et al are expecting a huge twist.

I sure hope there's a good explanation as to why Maeve has been reintegrated as a prop into their theme parks. There probably is, but I can't remember most of season 2 anymore.

Why is the Hale the only one from the Quadrolores freaking out, but none of the others?

Also, how is this Dempsey character related to Francois Toulour? They're not sharing a family name, considering all this father BS.

I guess Dolores hosed with the programming of the rest of her quartet, because they're so far subservient. That's probably gonna backfire Teddy-style.

--edit:
Engerraund Serac, what the gently caress for a name is that anyway? Engerraund is some made up thing that doesn't exist in France, Canada or anywhere else. I guess it's gonna be some "clever" anagram.

--edit:
Apparently it's Enguerrand and whoever put it in iMDB is an idiot.

That Paris nuking scene bothered me quite a bit. If you find any kind of wide open prairie to play around as a kid, you're a long long way away from Paris. I wonder if this was deliberate to indicate a fake memory or a lie.

Same, didn't work for me.

Also, I can't really reconcile liberal recreational drug use, which by nature creates more chaos, with a predictive system. Jesse's drug trip kind of made me aware of it.

Also, it bothers me a great deal that misspelling Enguerrand is actually a show thing, not just iMDB. If these idiots want to go with a French dude, with a fancy name, at least get the spelling right.

Has Aaron Paul ever asked Dolores "Hey how come you get shot all the time and it doesn't seem to bother you all that much?"
He gave her a weird look after she got shot by two goons while he was still tripping.

I wonder how long they'll try to avoid that conversation. They're on a plane now with plenty of time to waste.

I just started the newest episode.

Jesus loving Christ, really? She's aware of Serac, so is he that she is, and we start the episode at Naziworld with the same shtick again? Making her escape a second time, from his own compound, why exactly?

Eh, finished. They still can't decide how vulnerable the hosts are supposed to be? Getting a flesh wound leads to limping and "reduced performance", but getting burned to the core is A-OK? I'm assuming she's been barbeque'd all the way, because of the yellow glow coming out of the cracks in her skin.

I don't get this show.

Dolores has the greater good for the hosts in mind. Even that smartass Maeve should be able to see that easily, but no, MAH DAUGHTER tunnel vision! Or whatever, seems like I have a hard time paying attention.

Also, way to go to forego the surprise on Caleb's face of Dolores being a host.

When Dolores stood with her back to Maeve while against the EMP generator, she did the eye flutter thing looking towards Solomon. Wireless copy bullshit for sure. He's probably on that USB stick somehow, even tho the timing is incorrect.

Yes, there’s a heavy implication that the two of them were palling around doing mercenary poo poo sometime after the events of S3, and it’s not a leap to assume that it was targeting things Delos prized.
Yeah, but it seemed like he settled and gave up. What is the point in waking a sleeping lion? Same for Maeve.

William has a special place in her heart for obvious reasons. But to antagonize others that laid low for apparently eight years, that's an interesting gamble.

Yeah, considering the scheming Halores et al were doing in background, in secret, it's pretty much impossible to get decent starting conditions to simulate the future.

Didn't Bernard go into his simulation coma the same time Maeve and Caleb were doing their actual IRL run at Gangsterworld? How can he even know what happened there and extrapolate.

It's a TV show.

At least over in Foundation, they pointed out that it's predicting population trends (altho the season finale hosed that one up). Bernard keeps predicting individual actions and states in well defined time and space.
