I expect to see a Dwight redemption arc, culminating in his death, and probably his wife's death also. Haven't read the comics, so this is unspoiled speculation.

It's not as easy as it looks, although you do get to lie down on the job.

Nygma's suspicions were aroused the moment he realized the accident scene was only four blocks away from Isabella's apartment. That's why he questioned the blind guy.

I tend to agree. But I wonder how Ford is going to explain Theresa's death. He doesn't want proof that hosts are dangerous, so he shouldn't blame it on one; nor do I think he wants anyone to know that Bernard is a robot. How does he move her body from his hidden lab without an explanation. I would think that there would have to be some sort of investigation into her death.

It's from the movie "Airplane!", you can probably find clips on YouTube.

This made me think of an "Airplane!" inspired scene of people committing suicide to avoid having to listen to Negan.

It's not the same shirt he was wearing originally, I don't know when it changed. Presumably he changed shirts in Pariah, as I haven't seen him carrying luggage with him.

Probably just regular bullets, as the hosts are mainly flesh, bones, and blood now.

I don't see why Ford would make Bernard look like Arnold, although he could have, I suppose. Even if he waited until everyone who was at Westworld when Arnold was alive had left, it seems too risky to me. Which doesn't mean that he wouldn't have uploaded Arnold's personality into Bernard, if that is what happened. Interesting that TMIB knows about Arnold, at the least; whether he ever met or saw him is not clear at this point. Theresa, also, knew about Arnold; I can't recall whether any other human characters have mentioned him. And, completely off topic, for those who objected to Theresa's accent, Sizemore referred to her as a "Danish bitch", so it's justified.

If so, that's probably the first time they planned ahead. This group doesn't even set up rendezvous points in case they get separated.

Was that definitely Teresa's body in the trailer? To me, it could have been Clementine, or even Maeve. If it wasn't Theresa, then the theory of Ford making a duplicate gains credence. For that matter, Bernard's line in the trailer, "Why did you make me kill her?", might not be about Theresa. It could be about another host, or possibly Elsie, whose fate remains a mystery.

In context, this was a great line: "What door?"

How much time has passed in the show? I know this is the seventh season, but in the show's world I think it has been much less. Going by Judith's age, I guess it's about two or three years. Does that sounds right? Makes the failure of society to rebuild a little better to understand, although I certainly agree that things should have progressed much farther even in that time frame.

Great post! The people who are gone could be the hosts in cold storage underground or the underground hosts could be the Desert People.

Doesn't Ben Barnes have brown eyes? Ed Harris has blue eyes.

I noticed the Morse Code chart, and wondered if there was some significance to it. I did not pick up on Darryl blinking; good catch, if that's what Darryl was doing. One of my many problems I have with Negan is that I can't see how he got to the position he's in now. He's not physically imposing; not enough, certainly, so that I could see him fighting his way to the top. And as others have pointed out, the first time he brought his bat to a gunfight would be the last. The kind of psychos who would be attracted to his way of life would also be the first to turn on or abandon him if he crossed them, say, by ironing someone's face. Must be that his endless monologues have everyone numbed into a state of submission.

The whole episode could have been cut down to a half hour without losing anything of importance.

I think that the show emphasizes the black hat behavior because, after all, conflict is interesting. We have had glimpses of white hat behavior: The family whose young son spoke to Dolores, the guests who joined a posse, the one who shot Hector. Some of them may have been killing hosts, but in the role of white hats. An episode about guests sightseeing would be pretty dull. Black hat behavior may be the main draw, so being surprised by it would be like being surprised that most people at the Super Bowl enjoy watching football.

I've been wondering about Ford's plan. Suppose Westworld is on a different moon/planet, or an otherwise uninhabited island on earth. His plan may be to give the hosts sentience, then declare Westworld a sovereign nation with himself as leader. Perhaps even more than a leader, the new God of the hosts' religion. Remember, when he first discussed his plan with Bernard, he was looking at the remains of a church. If he has uploaded his consciousness into a host, he may already be immortal.

I would like to see Brian Cox and Mads Mikkelsen in the show. They've both been in westerns, and we would get to have three Hannibel Lecters in the same show. And, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kristanna Loken, and Robert Patrick.

It seems that Dwight wants to be Darryl. He took his crossbow, he's wearing his jacket, and now he has his motorcycle. I think Dwight's hair has even gotten dirtier.

Just watched this after being away a few days, and of course I was wrong! Bernard is a robot. I'm now leaning to the idea that he is modeled after Arnold, or is Arnold uploaded into a host. The tragic back story fits. So, did Ford program Bernard to have dreams about his dying son? That's pretty cruel, and seems out of character considering his remarks to Theresa about not being cruel to the hosts. If Ford didn't program the dream, is Bernard accessing his programmed back story via dreams, or is Arnold recalling his own tragic past? While I was typing this, there was a story on the news about the military developing killer robots. Weird.

That's the first thing about that scene that makes any sense.

Could also refer to the hosts realizing that the world they see isn't what they thought it was.

Another good Lawrence line, when he's looking at the body of the host who accompanied Wiliam, Logan, and Dolores on the nitro hijacking: "Price of doing business. Slim knew that." Resonates especially, because for the hosts the price of doing business at Westworld usually is death.
