Yeah, they mentioned his art school education when they first introduced him (not that it was all that memorable), when he was confident enough to try to date Penny. I miss that version of Stuart.
Me too. They totally ruined Stuart's character.

The inspiration for the episode title?

I guess money still has some value. $10 for an orange soda. I wonder how much drinks cost at the bar?

"He drives a red sports car."
That detailed description will really help track this guy down.

True Colors came out in 1986.
It was actually 1984.
"True Colors" was co-written by Cyndi Lauper and Rob Hyman. Hyman was a member of the Philadelphia band The Hooters. They had some decent-sized hits in the 80's with "And We Danced", "Day by Day", "All You Zombies".
QuoteThat same year, Bazilian and Hyman were asked to write, arrange and perform on the debut album of a relatively unknown singer named Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual, which was being produced by their former producer and friend, Rick Chertoff. Hyman co-wrote the song "Time After Time" (and also sang the lower harmony vocal in the choruses), which would go on to hit Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart and was subsequently nominated for a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

"And We Danced" and The Hooters version of "Time After Time".

Those fake EMT guys must have had some of Dexter's magic knockout potion.

The return of Sheriff Linda! Good to see she's still working in law enforcement. ?

I was just thinking about that show the other day. Weird.

Every time the "Chief" guy started explaining stuff I felt like I was watching a bad job training video.

How do they not have enough food but the bar is fully stocked?

They need new rent-a-cops, those clowns shot worse than stormtroopers. I like the show generally, but I hate it when they dumb something down (in this case making the human guards laughably incompetent) just to move the plot along.
I agree. Also, those guns that Hector and Armistice picked up apparently had magic unlimited ammunition.

More questions
1)Did Ford engineer everything? How did he know MiB would stab her so that Teddy could take her away and give that speech from West Side Story?
That's a great point.

As Felix and Sylvester explained to Maeve a few episodes back, there's not actually all that much difference anymore between a human body and a host body and its mainly the AI processor that sets hosts apart from humans. If they're made from the same stuff then it stands to reason that the same equipment that could fix a host could fix a human.
Which actually brings up an interesting point about the larger world that Westworld resides in... medicine is clearly advanced enough that significant trauma can be patched up with a "magic" torch. What else can future medicine do? Is cancer a thing of the past? (and if it is, what does that say about "Bernard's" memories of his son in the hospital... could they have based on Arnold's experiences 35 years earlier when such things had not yet be easily curable?)
It was mentioned earlier in the series that all diseases had been cured.

Speaking of Fleetwood Mac, I like this cover of "Gypsy" by Gardens and Villa.

Missing from that list is "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" and "Hasten Down the Wind" both by Warren Zevon (though I don't consider them superior to the original versions.)

Is anything to be made of the fact that Ford repeated the "blood sacrifice" language Charlotte used with Theresa? Just proving that he has ears everywhere, like he had her suite bugged? Or something more sinister?
The Hector bot was in the room during their conversation. Ford can access everything they can see or hear even if they are shut off.

I don't mind the anachronisms. I think any distant recreation of another time period would have mistakes. It is like our films of ancient Rome. We just have no real idea. It is all a guess. So mistakes are made. Or else the writers of the park don't care. Gold painted women? Why not? Black sheriff? Sure. Small British child wandering around? Okay. We really don't know how far into the future this show goes. The tech in the lab seems close enough to our time. The clothing is close enough too. People wear glasses. It all feels near future.
The only indication of when the show takes place is an interview where Nolan said it was in the 21st century.

I think they passed up a really good opportunity by not having Penny get a part in some sort of sci-fi show or something similar. It seems like there would be tons of material to mine from a situation like that.

I'm liking the show but the Jianyu character is not doing much for me. He's too stupid to be funny.

There have been interviews on ew.com with the showrunners for the first two episodes. This addresses the question of guest safety.
QuoteWe talked a lot about the rules of the park. A lot of it isn’t made explicit in the series but there’s something called the Good Samaritan Reflex within the hosts. So say you’re in a bar fight and some guy has a knife and maybe there’s even another guest that you didn’t know and he thinks you’re a host and he’s gonna stab you in the back. In that instance, a good Samaritan host would seamlessly intersect and get in that fight and literally take that knife for you. Now accidents can happen – falling off a cliff and things like that. But you know it’s mitigated somewhat because even the animals – aside from the flies – are hosts, so no horse is going to buck you to your death.

I was surprised they used Jade Helm in the show.

Those workers in the BunkerLab need to get some damned paperweights.
I was thinking the same thing. That would be pretty annoying every time the time machine zapped in or out. Also, there didn't seem to be very much security at Time Machine HQ.

I'm even more impressed that Pilcher had such wonderful cell phone coverage deep inside a hollowed mountain. :)
That's exactly what I thought during that scene.
S02.E10: The Garden of Beasts
in Colony [V]
Maybe it's just an inside joke/Easter egg. Like Klass County and Heuvelmans Lake from episodes of The X-Files.
