sometimes it's better to leave that to the viewer instead of doing what they did to the end of Dexter.
Paige could probably handle being waterboarded. Henry would just tell them to get on with it because he needs to get back to the ping pong tournament.
The whole logistics of getting from the confrontation in the parking lot to bringing them in, Stan was like the dog who finally caught the tire and now is stunned by having to figure out what to do with the rest of the car.
it's over
Those are places that got hit with chemical weapons or dirty bombs. Nothing can grow there, which is part of why they are having food shortages. The workers in the colonies are removing the layer of topsoil to hopefully expose fertile ground.
Has there ever been a guest who got slashed by a katana? It's possible the blades are not very sharp and the hosts there are easier to cut. We know they have laundry chutes to deal with all the bodies, and probably cycle through a lot more than other parks. Maybe when the safeguards were disabled, the hosts were able to sharpen their blades.
Or it could be that they all had sharp blades except for the ones whose narrative might have them fighting a guest. It would still hurt like hell to get hit with one, but wouldn't be fatal.
What they are trying to do is match the new session to the original session with Delos, and that's how they measure success. That means the condition of the room must be exactly like it was at the beginning of the original session. But we see Delos in there moving things around, consuming tea, scotch, etc. Any variation of the room in its beginning state could affect the rest of the session, and they wouldn't know for sure if it was the room or something wrong with Delos that caused the session to go differently. So they completely wipe the room and the machines are able to precisely recreate its contents it in a way that would be difficult for humans to do.
There is one exception- the humans he interacts with are always changing across different trials. Like William aging over time and the assistant who appears on the screen to tell him there is a visitor. This could be a clue as to why they cannot successfully recreate Delos.
Yeah, Teddy is getting reprogrammed. But from Dolores' perspective, she is killing him because she's wiping out whatever it is that is allowing him to become self-aware.
People are always asking Bernard about stuff he doesn't know. Well technically he does have some of the answers, just not at the time they are asking him.
It's been implied that there are 2 timelines with William, but I think this episode was the first one where they explicitly show it is the same guy. William said Logan killed himself, my guess is William pushed him out of the company because they had vastly different ideas on how to use the technology.
The thing with Stan, remember his boss he really looked up to got killed and that had him messed up for a while. That's why I think he will go nuts on them when he finds out.
Episode 9 feels a lot like Breaking Bad when Walt got outed.
Speculation: There will need to be a couple scenes with Stan after he knows who they are. Stan would definitely want them locked up or even executed, but that won't happen. I think they will somehow help prevent a coup by the old guard like Claudia from The Center, because that keeps them loyal to the official government in Moscow and also benefits the US. However the summit in D.C. happened in 1987 and the August Coup attempt was in 1991. They may be in US custody or on the run during that time (or they play fast and loose with the timeline), then they make a deal by trading that info. Philip and Elizabeth will probably go free, either in the US or back home. I think they have a scene with Henry and Paige where they say goodbye. But storywise, they killed a lot of people, some of them innocent bystanders in the wrong place at the wrong time, I don't see them having a happy ending. Someone will be waiting for them to slip so they can get some payback, and probably they will be too defeated to care. Their kids will have a better ending.
it was supposed to be for disguise until she got to the newspaper building. When we saw her again, it had grown back out because she was there for several months.
In Gilead the husbands aren't supposed to have lust for even their wives. The latest episode had a newlywed couple and the wife covered her body with the sheet, but the sheet had a hole where he could "complete the transaction"
Season 2 goes more into the methods of control used by the Aunts. One is to punish the group for the actions of an individual, while the individual is excluded from punishment. That's how they are conditioned into attacking one of their own. This method was also shown in Full Metal Jacket, where the one recruit was lagging in pretty much everything. The rest of the group was being punished for it, until they eventually got together and beat the humanity out of the guy.
Under enough conditioning, they will turn on one of their own if given the command, because subconsciously they fear punishment.
It is similar to season 1 where it takes a few episodes to decide whether or not to do this, and it takes a darker tone with a few bright spots about halfway through. The trial is used to structure the episodes, where each one focuses on 1 or 2 witnesses. They answer some of the burning questions from season 1 (and also address some of the criticism), with a couple revelations so big that you'll wonder why they weren't in the tapes. Hannah appears in the episodes, but she really takes a back seat to the other 4-6 kids who still have their own stuff to deal with. That's what season 2 is about. It's worth it if you like seeing some of them start to make selfless choices that don't magically solve their problems.
He definitely needs something, because he is not very bright and neither is his future. He will eventually kill someone if he keeps going the way he has. That being said, he is abused by his father, and that's why he only knows violence.
There are 2 purposes for having that scene. The first one is to show the effects of having her poem stolen and published; the poetry was a safe outlet for her until that point, then it was effectively cut off. The other purpose has to do with the "warning signs" of someone who is suicidal. Once someone makes that decision, they can be very upbeat because they're no longer weighed down by trying to solve whatever it is they were trying to deal with.
What affected me the most was how quickly it escalated. We've seen Monty rough him up before, but this was clearly different, even before he went into the stall it looked like he was gonna beat him to death.
Naomi was in the Land Rover, that was the JIC vehicle Madison told Alicia to set up. I'm guessing when things went bad at the stadium, Madison got separated and took off with it. That would explain why none of them were concerned about Madison, they knew she had enough supplies and would be all right on her own.
