Loved this 4th episode. Probably the best among the 4 to me. Looking forward for the next one.

 

I've got a possible theory after watching this one.
 

Spoiler

Recovering pieces of memory does not seem to be the part of the 'new update'. The toy of the Indian girl which Maeve was interested and the general stories about them which seems to be prevalent among the Indians seem to tell that the hosts (or some of them) knew the existence of park authorities much earlier because they have seen them, pretty much how Maeve came to know of them.

Spoiler

Also I am very interested in Bernard and what he wants to achieve through Dolores. I believe he is using Theresa for something.

I am really liking this show. Ed Harris is really good as the MiB. 

I kinda think they've given him Yul Brynner's role, The Gunslinger, and then turned it on its head to make him a rogue human instead of a rogue robot.

Had a hunch he wasn't human though. I wonder if Ford is building a replacement of the woman(forget her name) he killed.

 

Holy ######. 

Spoiler

I got the hint when Bernard said "what door"  I knew then what he was then.  Didnt expect that.

I was wondering about Bernard particularly when Ford said he had a "sensitive disposition."

The  theory that some stories (Will and the guy dressed in black) not happening at the same time is shaping up even more, anybody recognized the lady that the man in black "saved" in tonight's episode?

 

It was the same host that helped Will get dressed up when he got to Westworld

Yeah, cause hosts have never been assigned to different roles, ever, and it's impossible for MiB to have seen her anywhere else. /s

 

People are too obsessed with this theory, just let it play out.

It's not that, it's the fact that MiB said 

Spoiler

"I thought they would have retired you by now,"

 

I honestly think that:

 

Spoiler

William = MiB, and Dolores = Wyatt. She killed Arnold in the accident that was the "incident" in the park 30 years ago. The maze isn't a place, it's a higher level of feeling and memories. I think MiB helped Dolores discover this by hurting her in the barn, the same way he did with Maeve by killing her child

He's been visiting the park for 30 years. There's nothing to suggest he didn't meet her in other circumstances or that she's been reactivated recently before the Wyatt plot came about. Regardless, with the way the plot is built, everything can be red herrings or plot twists straight from the writers' asses. The plot right now has not reached a coherent state and hinges too much on fan theories.

 

BTW, Wyatt was a guy in Teddy's flashbacks.

Should've put a bet on!

Anyone notice the picture that jerk guy gave William?

Spoiler

It was the same photo Dolores' Dad found that glitched him out.

 

I was mad they killed Bernard, I liked that actor & character. Maybe we'll still see him as Arnold in flashbacks though.

Loved the show!

I kinda wish they had added a tangent about someone visiting the park, and then

returning to the "real world". As someone who has been to war multiple times

and is well aware that I did not come back the same (PTSD, etc), I'm curious

how they would have handled it on the show. 

 

Imagine going someplace where you get used to (for example) just shooting

or stabbing someone for getting on your nerves, or raping whatever woman

suits your mood. And then returning home. Would you be able to shut down

the impulse? Would a person's cries or pleas for mercy stimulate your moral

compass the same as before you visited the park? I love shows that bring up

those types of questions.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By DrWankel · Posted

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.

      It is never going to be right, one thing go belly up in all that millions of lines of code and it could have any number of effects. Microsoft can't even stop a computer getting a blue screen of death, so how on earth are these other companies going to make other stuff safe? Lets just wait until there is one hell of a accident and see what is done then.
