Keep in mind I have not watched season 2 yet so maybe these answers will come, and if that’s the case; no spoilers please and thank you for the explanation!

Yes,
That was the point of her willfully turning around and heading towards her daughter. She isn’t even her daughter, but her code told her to escape, but she has stopped just shy of the threshold. Totally agree there Spock.

Lol. You definitely got me on that one. No, the possibility of two timelines, two Williams, did not enter my mind until you brought that to my attention several weeks ago.

Hey, do you think Maeve now has the power (her free will) to not have to follow the story she was programmed to follow (the escape)? It certainly seems that way to me, seeing that she decided (her choice, not a program) to return to go get her kid. Another victory for free will over predestination. Lol

Spock out

Hey Spock,
My interpretation comes from the fact that they drove out to the very edge, the borderline of the park. And when the obvious supposition was that William was doing this to take over Logan’s family business, and to be able to run things from then on. Which, we know for a fact worked. So whether he was dead or not, we know that for the past 30 years Logan has been gone and adrift in no mans land at the very least. Right?

And remember, you didn’t think that William and the MIB were even the same guy… right? Trust me. hahahah. Regardless, the conjecture and the chatter about the possibilities is what makes it the most fun regardless of who is right or wrong.

I do have one small issue to possibly rebut what you said- you said you believe “William sent Logan to his death…”. I’m not so sure of that one. Yes, Logan was sent off to who knows where, naked in fact, which I thought was appropriate, but do we really know he would not survive? Hmmm. Let’s just say, I’m not as convinced as you. You could be right, but I just need a wee bit more evidence before I make that call. But I wouldn’t take that bet because I do think your interpretation is probably the right one.

Heck, I’m not even completely convinced Ford is dead. Could that have been android Ford? Remember he was making an android in the basement of his childhood house. Who do you think that was? At first I thought it was going to be Theresa, but now I’m thinking, maybe it was to be Ford himself. So, is it possible the android Ford was killed? I think it is possible but probably not likely.

Actually, I do believe the real Ford was killed, because that would be poetic and much more honorable (a Christ figure is some way), but I also believe we are going to see the android Ford in season two.

Well, I guess I’ve said my 3000 words now. Later, and thanks again.

Hey again there Will,
Sizemore was just a pawn of Charlotte. Charlotte wanted ANYONE other than Ford to run the stories. And as she said in her own words, she didn’t care what he did, “as long as things got simpler”. Everything was starting to spin out of control and it was jeopardizing the park and the company.

So I just saw Sizemore as a creative – that Charlotte was using as a stand in for Ford after they finally got him retired. But Sizemore himself was nothing more than a placeholder. In season 2, I highly doubt that Sizemore will do anything of consequence because there will be no control over the hosts … or very minimal. Right?

NIce.
Also,
What’s your take on Lee Sizemore, the other creator that wanted to take Ford’s place, shutting down the power of the park..or train? It would seem that the facility should run 24/7 since the park is never truly “shut down”.

Hey Will,
That is really interesting. I’ll flip that scene back open again to see that. I just assumed it was standard to clap and to stand, based on social etiquette… but with this show, everything/anything is possible. I was sort of surprised when Felix looked at Maeve and was like – ACK! AM I A HOST TOO?!? – for Maeve to be like… no no no. You are human. (What did she say, “You are a terrible human, and I mean that as a compliment.” Love that.)

But yeah, it could be everyone is a host. Just various levels of host-ness. Some are new new models (virtually unidentifiable as hosts) and others are older models. Which, would be Blade Runner all over again. Right?

Good catch though Will.
