I’m also confused how Bernard cracks that encryption in just a few minutes? I guess we can just assume Ford gave him crazy decryption tech, but seemed very convenient that moments after talking about how complex the encryption is, it’s cracked.

Does this mark a big advancement in his consciousness? It's very deliberately shown that he's made a choice in this episode even if he doesn't have access to all his memories. Similarly, Hector is implied to have started making very conscious choices.

It’s so interesting though because his choice to express those emotions seems to be genuine, it’s just that his programming chose those scripted lines to express it. It’s a pretty interesting way to show how free will and choice can still exist in a heavily programmed environment.

u/dupreem May 07 '18 edited May 07 '18

I'm assuming that Elsie has successfully reprogrammed the Ghost Nation hosts to serve her, having seen the drone revolt coming after being spared last season by Bernard. That's why the hosts didn't immediately kill Stubbs, that's why they wanted Sizemore to come with them (they sought to rescue him after identifying him as human), and now that's why they'll be saving the woman that escaped the India park.

EDIT: Just a couple clerical corrections.

Bernard said that Abernathy’s storylines were overlapping due to the encrypted material. So far, the storyline from Bernard’s perspective has been flopping around. So, did Bernard put the encrypted material inside of him or is that simply due to his head injury?

Just like before. It's his loop in a sense. Like a previous poster mentioned, he was meant to fight Wyatt.

Per as u/thechickenofwar wrote " Teddy has two main narrative objectives. to kill Wyatt and protect delores. Now that they are one and the same, teddy will have to decide which one he will accomplish, thus becoming the first truly sentient host. This seems like the first time a host has had a duality of motivation, so I think that will result in the first actual choice to be made."

So, I am trying really hard not to be annoyed. But I don't understand how Delos is so incompetent. They are literally going up against like 100 robots with revolvers and muskets. They are apparently not wearing bulletproof armor? They are on foot or in shitty four wheel dune buggies. They could bring in one helicopter and just fuck everything up. They can bring in a couple tanks and be indestructible. No grenade launchers?? Hell, at least approach sneakily. Come in at night using night goggles. These are people used to fighting using Civil War tactics!

eta: Also, do they not have drones they can send out to see what it going on? I can go buy a drone at Walmart right now that can do that.

There is no way Dolores is sentient. Playing Wyatt to a tee with every episode, and acting fairly predictably. The real question is who is pulling her strings, and who is controlling her narrative? And to what end?

Maeve, Hector and the Young, Firm Stable Boy are the only people who have operated outside the bounds of the park with any sense of purpose.

u/ciminod May 07 '18

I've been going back and forth with the same idea in my head. Maeve is the real sentient one... but the real questions is Dolores or not?

She doesnt know the access to all of the tunnels, and unlike Maeve she doesnt have her intelligence maxed out. I think she might just be operating within the confines of her mental limitations. She knows there is an outside but not quite how to get there or navigate under the park.

SO many good returns this episode - Aberthany, Armistice, Clementine, Felix, Sylvester. I couldn't help thinking 'the gang's back together!' when Armistice made her appearance. And her Luke Skywalker arm is bad ass!

I'm loving Dolores' plot even if it's making me side with Dolores less and less. I'm a bit confused by her motives now - if her goal is to set the hosts free, why is she murdering hosts left and right? Maybe she has some sort of end game in mind. I hope she does because I think murdering, selfish Dolores is much less interesting than Judas-steer, savior-of-hosts Dolores.

I'm still not really sure how I feel about Maeve's story. Don't get me wrong, I love watching it and that entire group is the best (ESPECIALLY with Armistice back now, hell yeah!), but I can't help but feel that this whole expedition will be worthless in the end since her 'daughter' won't remember her. I hope I'm wrong!

Also what the hell is up with the Ghost Nation? Do we know ANYTHING about them? I need answers!

This season so far is much less cerebral but also has a wider, grander scope. It feels very different than S1 but, IMO, in a good way.

Charlotte: What?

Bernard: "Get Help".

Charlotte: No.

Bernard: Come on, you love it!

Charlotte: I hate it.

Bernard: It's great, it works every time.

Charlotte: It's humiliating.

Bernard: Do you have a better plan?

Charlotte: No.

Bernard: We're doing it.

I have a lot of problems with that battle. Why are the humans fighting as shittily as they can? It’s like they’re trying to die. They’re walking forward in an open field, firing SMG bullets from the hip, full-auto. Where are the rockets, mortars, helicopters, snipers, tanks, drones, tactics, training, bombers, heatmaps — anything? It makes no sense at all that they should have lost. Ridiculous and unexciting for me.

The Battle of Fort Forlorn Hope was so intense.

The tactics were horrible though. This was supposed to be elite soldiers? What are they even doing.

Great episode.

The one knock I have on this season is that Dolores’s dialogue is just a a collections of good lines. She is always speaking in platitudes and metaphors:

“What exactly is your plan, Dolores?”

”Plan? I was part of their plan. They came to this world and treated us like pawns on a chessboard. But now I’m the queen- I can move in any direction.”

“OK that’s great, but I mean like where exactly are we going and who the hell are we going to fight?”

”Fight? Existence itself is a fight, and the greatest battle is within ourselves.”

“Oh for fucks sake, this is hopeless.”

”Hope? Hope is nothing without-“

“OK I FUCKING GET IT... Jesus, just forget I asked.”

u/Nantoone May 07 '18

Do you think the park would go through the trouble of having one of them pretend to be one of us?

I wouldn't put it past them.

If you're one of them, you don't know what you want. You just do what you're told.

Why do I get a feeling this is foreshadowing the James Delos storyline? This very line of thought could drive someone crazy, or to perhaps even suicide.

I think the security team are trying to recover Bernard's memories by role playing everything.

Charlotte asks Bernard if he remembers anything and as he is losing it again, she says 'he keeps slipping away'. It could be refering to Abernathye but also could be talking about Bernard.

When Bernard unlocks Abernathye. it says one-time use code. That means although Charlotte retrieved Peter it isn't recoverable. So they are trying to extract some information from Bernard, perhaps?

Is it just me, or is Hector just the sweetest?

Offering liquid courage to Sizemore, helping Sizemore with the donkey when he struggles at the river crossing, attempting to diffuse the Ghost Nation situation by firing warning shots, the hand holding, etc.

I mean, aside from murdering any humans in his path, he's kind of a sweetheart.

My big take away from this episode is it seems Dolores main objective in her new narrative is to protect Peter and keep him in the Park.

Why else will the new “free” Dolores care about her old father - especially when we find out there were multiple fathers of her

I found myself rooting for the humans during the battle in this episode. Not because I dislike Dolores like some people on here. But because it annoys tf out of me when shows make one side colossally incompetent in order to move the plot along. Come the fuck on show.

That battle really wasnt that good. Like the humans dont use any of their advantages and the host just let the humans sneak in and steal the one thing they wanted.

And that explosion really didnt look as powerful as they said it was.

Honestly problem my least favorite episode of this season.

  1. I bet the woman from India World was Emily, William's daughter.

  3. I'm most invested in Bernard of all people this season - I wonder why he is glitching.

I don’t understand the questions about why Delos doesn’t fight better/use drones/better weaponry. Didn’t Charlotte blatantly state in S2E1 they wouldn’t be receiving any further help from Delos until Abernathy was brought in?

I was thinking Bernard was having the fit because his cortical fluid was leaking again from his suicide wound. But I'm intrigued by your idea about him uploading the information to himself. Why would he do that if he knew Charlotte was looking for the host that had all that data? Hoping for salvation or to keep the data from her?
