The voice sounds like Bernard. "Come find me."

Also surprised they actually killed her.

The left side of Hopkin's face looks like it's being sucked into a black hole, slowly.

The Da Vinci man-style illustration we saw of Bernard made me think about how the ripped physique doesn't match up with Bernard's body at all. So I'm wondering if hosts are created paunchy, or if Bernard just didn't work out after being born with a perfect body?

I hope they repair Lili Simmons and bring her back.

These last two episodes have been great. Easily the best of the series so far.

I'm really glad they didn't go the "invasion of the body snatchers" route with Theresa. I've already seen Battlestar Galactica.

Can't help but think of Royal Tenenbaum saying "sorry for your loss, your mom was a
terribly attractive woman"

HBO/Cinemax Rule #1 : You don't cast Lili Simmons in a TV show with abundant nudity unless you're planning on having her do a nude scene.

I'm liking the show a lot, but the Maeve storyline has gotten a little too far-fetched for my taste. Unless Felix and Sylvester are actually hosts programmed to go along with whatever hair-brained thing she insists they do for her, it is an awful lot to look past.

Yeah, she's been my least liked aspect of the show even though others expressed the opposite an episode or two ago. Thandie Newton is good, but the idea that Felix was so enamored with her to listen to her every whim just seems like a stretch to me, especially with how often she's been able to wind up in their care and walk around like that.

Maeve is Skynet and is self-aware.

Pfft. People underestimate the power of a naked woman on some men's minds.

Not a fan of the Maeve stuff but her influence over the Sheriff during the shootout was hilarious.

With that said.... Thandie Newton should get more screen time and remain naked for the entire series run.

I'm finding the Maeve storyline to be the most interesting of the show so far. Felix had a crush on her and she used that to her advantage. She was also updated by someone higher level than Felix and Sylvester so her rapid awareness and intelligence is no surprise. Now she's got ability to hurt hosts, she's on her way to cause serious damage to the park.

Don't get me wrong, I think the idea of a host becoming "aware" and all that entails is very interesting. But the way they are going about having it happen stretches credulity. Felix and Sylvester are not behaving like semi-rational human beings. There is no plausible reason for them to continue doing whatever Maeve asks of them time and time again.

Never underestimate what the average wrong-doer is willing to do to avoid getting caught! They're flat out terrifiedf of her now.

It's interesting how Dolores and Maeve have become sort of a "Angel and Devil" type situation in their processing of their emerging awareness.
