Straight from the showrunner's mouth who is returning with a glimpse of what to come.

Elsie not dead la! S2 official photos and Lisa Joy confirmed they are doing a story arc of her with Stubbs. Think there was a shot of her in one of the trailers.

Heart Shaped Box.
Three more weeks....

Goosebumps during the 2nd crescendo...drop the mic cover!!!!

A meaty concise breakdown of the trailer. There's a lot to unpack here.

Think it was this morning, during a Reddit AMA Nolan and his wife said they will release a full season 2 breakdown of each episode. So suffice to say it's spoiler galore.

All I got to say it's legit as hell and limit all discussions with spoiler tag in reference to the video.
Effing brilliant move.

Wow the premiere sets off two big question. Where to begin:
1. 2 weeks later mystery.
2. Peter Abernathy could lead to Future World premise which coincidentally Dolores appearing in modern settings. What if that is not a flashback???
Just in case if you're not aware of Future World theory.


Overall the pacing picks up considerably. Not much meandering and more questions than answers. Guess Ford is dead-dead and wrapped up his thread as it will be too many plotline to follow. Guess the adversary this season pretty much down in Delos playing cat and mouse with Dolores or Bernard.

.

While you are mesmerized with the colonial area 6 park, when this tune hits with the "I know that!!!" moment. It just mind-blowing again. The last two Kanye songs didn't do it but this is very majestic.

Nice to see all plotlines speeding up but now WTF with the sudden new player in the story???

On a personal note, not digging the new role of Dolores. Without her self discovery/hero's journey, Wyatt very two dimensional antagonist you seen many times before. Still prefer her to weigh in on the ethical quandary of going sentient. If want to go full villain, try to make her a female Walter White. Able to mix the good and the bad at the same time.



Well just being a nitpicky douche...lol...as it doesn't mean a thing until a full context of the season.

It's not about her switching personalities that I'm interested in, it's about her drive for conviction...her inner motivations as now all a little too on the surface for me. Your standard McGuffin of racing against the clock to reach destination. Again without full context of the story so there could be bigger surprise down the road or a switcheroo of role importance. Ask us to look at Dolores amped up actions but the real story is in Bernard or someone else. It's anyone's guess?
Again just me nitpicking....no need to convince me otherwise....lol....

Read in between the lines to get a deeper meaning of the actions of this episode.

That's what I'm talking...Bernard treading the grey area of good and evil. He can go both ways!

Also cloning a guest to host looks not to be as easy peasy or timeline masking the actual state of the technology. Is this the isolated incident because of his illness. Dunno a bit far fetched that the new body inherited defective genetics from DNA. If they can rebuild pretty sure to a degree genetic splicing also feasible....creative license to fit narrative outcome??? Maybe just me overreacting...lol....

Great episode overall!!!

Shogun world next! Heard majority of the scenes in Japanese language.

Chill bro just putting my tinfoil hat and curb your enthusiasm to correct people with every chance you gets. Which part of me overreacting that you don't understand...lol...

All I know they collect DNA samples just saying....

You are watching a Jonathan Nolan show no less and since when it's a straight answer to the question.

Ceasefire...ceasefire...we watch the same show la and heard the same dialogue.

Just the idiot in me like to overthink plotlines...lol....

Sad to break it to you Bernard most likely end up giving the short end of the stick to Elsie again.

If you're into feisty cute girl....try have a look into Killing Eve. Another show that you thought of going into one direction but it just does things beyond your expectations. Villanelle is a revelation to watch and her mischievous humour always comes with a deadly consequence. It's not any assassin you have seen, guaranteed!

Not completely Woah! by Maeve "Neo-ing" it out. No problems with them wanting to go there just her discovering the new voice a bit off putting for me.

On the other hand the music again does it job marvelously. My jaw still on the floor when Akane dancing to WuTang Clan's C.R.E.A.M. just when you thought revisiting Paint It Black is enough!

Ghost nation it is!!!

If based on the current timeline of Charlotte interrogating Bernard. Is Ford gone from being the ghost in the machine???

Cheeky writer slip in a Bible reference.

The LORD works out everything to its proper end-- even the wicked for a day of disaster.
Proverb 16:4

Coincidentally the location of Abernathy's pearl. Sector 16, Zone 4.
