He's been the most intriguing character since Ford mentioned him last week and I hope we meet him this season. Speaking of Arnold, that was the other interesting thing about Ed Harris's story this week, when he mentioned him as the creator of the park, and story that he's trying to find the end of. So I suppose now Ed Harris and Teddy will be teaming up to find him, for different purposes? Is he gonna end up being Arnold or something? Well I had no clue if Wyatt was supposed to be a name I recognized or not, and it turns out that's the name that they gave to Teddy's new programming the previous week, his former "army buddy" that is now terrorizing the countryside that Teddy was supposed to hunt down. The key portion of this story this week was when snake lady told Ed Harris that she was set out to kill Wyatt as revenge for killing her father. Didn't really understand the part where he met up with Teddy and untied him. I really enjoyed his parlay with the snake lady, and the way he broke that new character (Paulo from LOST) out of ail. Speaking of Ed Harris, he got the most screen time yet this week. I kind of enjoy Bernard and hers little talks each week, and it was a new twist this week that he mentioned to her the same "center of the maze" thing that Ed Harris is hunting for. Well I guess the theory that Jimmi Simpson is a young Ed Harris is completely demolished now that we see Bernard interviewing her just before she wakes up at the camp with him, and the people monitoring her current situation lines up with where we see her with him, etc. I mean, you can't do season after season after season of just a conflict between these hosts and their makers. It's clear they're setting up a revolt of some kind of the Hosts against there makers, but to what end, and what will be the long, multi-season impacts? Are they going to do an apocalypse thing, where they start taking over the whole earth? Or more of a human rights allegory, where they fight to be recognized as living creatures, etc? It's just not clear at all what everything we're seeing means or is leading to 3 episodes in. I enjoyed the performance of the women tech - she reminded me of Ellen Page, and wasn't sure if the male tech was a robot or real? When they find the Host and he doesn't respond to the Sleep command, that was freaky - seemingly a robot uprising is indeed coming!Īnd that leaves you to wonder: Where the heck is this show going? I mean, this isn't a one-and-done event, this is a 10 episode season, hoping to be a multi-season series. In the first 2 episodes it was the goings-on of The Man In Black, this week it was when 2 techs went out to hunt down a stray Host that had wondered away from everything. The show continues to have one storyline that seems very separate from everything else. the bad guys there seemed to be indestructible for some reason - are they Guests paying for a "ultimate bad guy" package? Weird. The story where Ford gives Teddy a backstory about Wyatt, and then him and the Sherrif (with some guests) go to hunt down Wyatt was odd. Now you just have to wait to find out if everyone knows (including the women sleeping with him) or only Ford. The way Jeffrey Wright has been playing him has been so deliberate in every way, and his dead child backstory seems like something Ford would write for him. Good - I thought it was a dumb theory anyway.Ī theory that does still hold water is that Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) is actually a Host himself, which I think is certainly true. Well the theories that Jimmi Simpson was actually The Man In Black 30 years ago and his scenes were all flashbacks is totally debunked when Dolores ends up at his camp at the end of the episode. This is good and doesn't contradict anything we've seen yet, but it does feel like a later idea and not something they had in mind when making the pilot, personally. Oooh, things got interesting this week! The biggest reveal is that Ford (Hopkins) didn't create everything himself, but had a partner named Arnold that co-created everything, and it was Arnold that was more interested in making the Hosts have consciousness.
