Ok, why is Ford not shocked to see Bernard in the final below the church scene when last he requested, Bernard offed himself?
I thought there was perhaps a tiny missed opportunity to wrong-foot the audience in the confrontation with Dolores -- when she resisted him on the basis that someone who "truly loved" her was going to rescue her, my first thought was William but I then assumed (because William would be such a predictable answer) that she would actually be referring to Teddy. Doing this would have necessitated a slightly different reveal, but it's a small point. The full extent of his evil was nicely confirmed in stabbing Dolores -- having thought that she'd finally beaten him, my jaw absolutely dropped when he stabbed her.
I actually was thinking she was going to say Teddy the whole time with a slight chance she was going to say William. When she said William- I thought "awesome"- but then, he just kind of shrugged it off. I think they really, really missed a good opportunity there for MiB to have some internal conflict and stuggle- if only for 2 seconds through facial expressions. Even if the end result was the same, he just shrugged it like he didn't really care and it was just a "minor" reveal. When in fact- she has had his memory on her mind for 30 years- he was truly the one she loved the most more than the thousands of the "loves" she had over the 30 years. That deserved a little bit more intricate of a reaction from Ed Harris based on that revelation. I thought the ball was really dropped there.
Clearly, on some level and at some time he did feel strongly for her, so there should really have been some hesitation or something, even if as you say it had only been for a split second.
Right- a "one dimensional" character is so 60s. The audience, and us, don't want that- because we know one dimensional people don't exist. Give him the ability to turn good if he has to in future seasons, or give him some complexities and make it deeper. Make him hurt in situations, even when he's doing them. I'd much prefer him to be the conflicted villian, honestly, because we just spent a season "feeling" for the guy. Make me "feel" for him in this situation. Oh well.
Everything shut down in the station as no guests were coming so the hosts etc were not needed to be active
But Felix stated that setting to 20 would make a bot far smarter than a human.
How did you arrive at that? Many guests were walking through the station and Maeve wasn't effected.
I wrote out a long, bulleted character 'study' for each character but deleted it because it was too long and made me look like an insane person.^ I found Bernard to be likeable and found Maeve to be admirable within her apparent limits.
