Right. Why was Dolores so appalled/afraid of seeing Billiam at the end of the episode?

He has clearly been up to something in the barn. I'm guessing that his routine for the last few years has been to repeatedly kill her family and then some sort of torture of her, either mental or physical, to try and unearth the sentient behavior she had shown in the past.  Now she has her memories seeing him must be like seeing the devil.

Sounds utterly plausible. I just thought when she saw him in the shadow (she thought it might be william) but then the MIB stepped into the light and her expression changed so I thought, hang on myabe she was expecting William but it wasnt him. But I was really tired and probagbly totally imagined that reading on it.

There's going to have to be some seriously elegant writing to tie together all the different timelines in the final episode.

I'm watching it, getting it, seeing that it's well made, but not actually enjoying it. I have zero investment in any characters as they can drop the "they are a host" line anytime. That and the fact that there isn't a nice human being in the whole place.

I'm enjoying it, but only for the philosophical questions it poses really.

I just can't empathise or have any feeling for any character. Even for those played by the actors I like. 

I'd imagine even if they wrap it all up it will still be the big reveal and hook you into the second season.

They should just concentrate all their efforts into creating a spin off sequel called 'Medievalworld'

Or ‘Definitely Not Game Of Thrones World’.

A series set in a park with hosts that recreate the Game of Thrones world would be ultra meta. Could even be good.

Confirmed the MiB for those people (read Americans) too thick to realise he was William, she even had to say it ffs.

Americans?

I can't fucking wait unit MiB and William appear on screen together so all those internet theorists  cry themselves to sleep.

Samurai World would've been better

Yeah, I was wondering about the head of security, I suppose he just got done in by the mob. Bit daft though, again it's surprising he wasn't missed.

I liked the control room lockdown, straight out of the film.

Maeve was odd. Was she scripted to leave the park and fought against her programming to go back for her daughter, or the other way round? Hers was the worst storyline by a country mile. Although I did like the simpleton butcher wondering if he was a robbit and her FFS response.

Enjoyed it overall, but I'm not looking forward to more in any way.

Yeah that was good. Glad that season 2 won't be carrying over any baggage.

Still loads of plot holes / mysteries / whatevers in there and much of what they've shown doesn't make a right lot of sense. But given how this show could have been left, they've done a decent job in wrapping up the main stuff satisfactorily.

Just because I love to moan - Fords suicide by robot doesn't make a lick of sense, unless he simply wanted to die (or Hopkins was too expensive for more than one season). The robots have gone on a killing spree anyway so why sacrifice himself? At least with Arnold you could see why he might not want anyone else to die and he wanted to go anyway. Thandie Newton isn't going to get on an elevator with armed guards firing at her, during a security lockdown and just walk out the bottom with quarter of an hour to kill before the train left. And so on and so on blah blah blah, it's all a bit stupid.

Still I'll be there for the start of the next season so it's doing something right.

90 minutes was very generous. But did we really have to see her chew off that guy's finger? Honestry don't know where they can go with Season 2 though. Thandie trying to find her daughter amid a park where the humans are hiding from the reawakened Hosts? Doesn't sound so bad.

I think Ford sacrificed himself to prevent the company from using him to get the hosts back under control.

Thandie not to get back into the park. Season 2 split (or season 3 set concurrently) about how humans survive in the park and about how Thandie survives in the world

So Ford wasnt such a baddie. He was giving the hosts time to reach the centre of the maze... It was mentioned that Arnold changed Maeve's code...he a ghost in the shell or summat?

Nice. Ideally some sort of blade runner miniseries told in chronological order of robot uprising in the real world spanning over 200 years. Thank you.
