Ford's new narrative appears to have disabled all the park safeguards. Hosts can kill guests, all weapons are effectively real, barriers between parks ineffective, etc.
And where did I miss the part that park guns now kill guests? How does that work?
1. People have guessed that they’re an old group of hosts, made by either younger Ford or Arnold. They’ve been in the park since the very first days. We don’t know what they want though.Just saw tonites new episode.
1) Still don't understand the Indians.
What are they?
Where did they come from?
Who programmed them?
whats their purpose?
What do they want???
2) Who knows that Bernard is a Host?
Yeah that was really jacked up.Spoiler's for Episode 5
Poor Teddy got mind raped by his lover. He is going to go on a murder spree but I have a feeling its going to backfire for Delores.
Many questions:
1) how does Mauve control other Hosts by voice?
2) if you set other Hosts to the same stats as Mauve, can they do the same thing?
3) so Ford successfully created a stable Host called Bernard, yet the Man in Black couldn't do the same with Devos even after decades of trying?
3a) Who else might be a Host that thinks s/he's human?
4) why didn't Mauve just control the Shogun??
I'm not sure that Alfred's consciousness really got uploaded to Bernard. I think that they just look similar.

1. We aren't totally sure. Chances are though when she was modified back in season one to max bulk apperception she also had herself made a voice command 'admin' like the humans are.Many questions:

2. Maybe in season one, if they were conscious too, but I feel like with the host breakdown in season two it wouldn't work anymore. Guess we'll wait and see
3. Nah, Bernard isn't Arnold, and doesn't have Arnold's mind. He's highly empathetic and likes the hosts, but he isn't convinced of their sentience at first like Arnold was.
3a. Well we know Felix isn't.Some people are guessing the red orb Bernard took is a finalized version of Arnold's brain. We'll get a flashback to when Barnard was with Charlotte and found all those Bernard body doubles, and then Bernard will remember it too. He'll take the orb to those bodies, and put Arnold in one of them. Then, Arnold is the one who wakes up on the beach two weeks later in Ep1, without the gunshot scar and wondering where he is. The "I did this" line isn't a reference to those specific hosts' deaths, but to the park itself.
4. Yeah, he was just real broken.People are guessing the Man in Black is a host. That he died and Ford brought him back. After all, he is the one who spent the most time in the park so they'd have the most info on him. A slow reveal of what he is through suffering and the fact that 'if you're looking forwards you're looking in the wrong direction" might be the safest way to bring a humanhost to knowing what they are.
I increasingly think that the whole thing is going to come down to a conflict between Delores and Maeve. Their philosophies are clearly evolving into diametric opposites. Maeve can never be really free if Delores is hell bent on taking everything and bending everyone to her will.
Bernard/Arnold might well be the person who tips the balance though, maybe thats what Ford intends.
so bernards brain is different than regular hosts.
wonder who else has thesebrainsred
. Yes, Wyatt/Delores seems to be in complete "burn it all down" mode and doesn't appear to have any real power other than she broke out of routine and uses thugs and brute force to get her way. Maeve on the other hand is a much more complicated issue in that she isn't scared to mind blast people in her way to slit their own throats while still allowing other hosts to chose their own paths. She seems to be getting more more human in each episode while Delores is turning into a raging toddler of destruction. I see it coming down to Maeve/Delores showdown cliffhanger over the fate of humans.
I'm still uncertain where the William/Williams Daughter/Indians story goes. There's a lot to unpack in this season. I almost need to go back and watch the first season again and see if I pick up more. [/spoilers]
Yeah, I think Maeve will eventually see Delores as no different than the humans who ran the park. Wanting to impose her will regardless of the cost and destroy anything that doesn't fit her vision of their future.
We still don't know what Will buried in the park, yet. I don't entirely buy that his daughter is there for only the reasons she's stating. The differing recollection about the elephants in Raj world is most curious. Maybe it was a test but who failed it seems an open question.
I'm not convinced that the elephant conversation was as much a test as it was an intended reflection point that William had gotten too far involved in the "fake world" and the "real world" memories were starting to be erased. But between alternative timelines and the intentional vagueness that the writers are leaving it's really hard to put a finger on where they are going with these two.
