    My buddy's been saying the same thing. I just rewatched the first 3 episodes and it's certainly plausible, but I'm still not sold on it fully yet. Some more evidence to support it is:
    Bernard conducts 3 interviews with Delores in the same room we just discovered (the one under the cabin). She's fully clothed and it's pretty clearly an uninitiated, off the books interview. We know that a.) ford is all for the hosts being unclothed, b.) that Bernard can't even see the door leading to the basement room, and c.) Bernard's conversations with Delores is very suspect.

    This all points to these scenes having taken place in the past...and that we are seeing Arnold conduct these interviews, rather than Bernard.

    @Slyk @Ordinary Joel
    certainly could give credence to the two timelines theory, right? like thats arnold activating dolores.... then the rest of the bernard scenes are present day..

    anyways, bad show

    idk im still watching it, but it's clearly lower tier hbo. too reliant on ti--ies and violence to sustain interest. im not invested in any of the characters, are you?

    It's quite the opposite in my eyes. Heavily invested in ford, William, & mib. The creative production approach, fresh concept, attention to detail, and ongoing theory discussion is top notch imo.

    Depending on how far along you are, the show may just not be for you.

    dual timeline theory still holds true, show would be a lot better for it if it turns out to be true.

    just going to repeat that the host ford was making has to be theresa. i wonder if he has done it to any other employees in the past? for the timeline theory to hold true, he would have had to done it to hemsworth's character as well.

    really enjoying this show so far... story, cinematography and plot twists have been awesome. lots of potential. a few things are sticking out to me though. Some of the acting is awful, I cringe every time those 2 technicians are on screen. Also the whole storyline with Maeve just doesnt make any sense. Why didnt they just reset her as soon as she started acting out? Why dont they just shut her down right now? I feel like this show could go one of 2 ways; either it really picks up in the last few episodes of this season and carries the momentum into the next one or it just gets too caught up in twists and turns and collapses under its own weight, like Lost. I really hope that doesnt happen. That being said, still really enjoyable show. Looking forward to see what happens next.

    Probably going to be both; after all, this is a "watch the theme park collapse before your very eyes story like Jurassic Park" so there's going to be some reasonable momentum but at the same time, there's too much cerebralness and I fear that the twist and turns will make the story too convoluted and pointless.

    The character relationships are pretty weak I'm just here for the concept of AI gaining consciousness/bicameral mind. :wow5:

    The mysteries keep pulling me in though tbh.

    i mean it may just be me personally, but I've enjoyed these storylines:

    - man in black searching for "the maze"
    - ford fending off the board with his own ulterior motives
    - Dolores and William finding themselves
    - Maeve gaining consciousness. I'm convinced that asian guy is a host

    I agree, show is becoming lit...

    Ford is becoming like one of the most interesting characters on the show, one minute he's philanthropal and sweet and the other he's just downright vile and manipulative.

    I think him and MiB will make a great Good v. Evil match... Except you don't know who is Evil and who is Good... For all we know the MiB could be on the side of good all along.

    Loving this "relay" and "old robots" stuff... Really makes the show believable and gives credence to the fact that Arnold is giving a chosen few the opportunity to destroy the park. Too bad all the new robots are stuck by their programming.
