That definitely would have worked better but as I brought up a couple pages ago her whole escape scene was scripted and in such a way as to be remarkably similar to the daily safe heist in Sweetwater which may point to some kind of reveal later down the road or maybe not. Anyway it doesn't make up for the lack of proper development regarding her scenes but it's kind of fun to think about.

Well, the show is all over with its tech, its 2052, I'd want to say probably not space? But given they had flesh encoding handheld computers (When he repaired the one guys neck) and the hosts themselves? Some of the tech is so advanced its ridiculous. So space could be a god bet.
Honestly though, if this is legit and not just a really intricate story--the biggest issue next season is how and why humanity doesn't just roll in there and rape them. I mean, given the level of tech in the hosts, exoskeleton heavy armor and advanced bi-pedal VR drones (They had VR, the one dude used it) should be absolutely no problem. Hell, even with our current tech I couldn't see it taking more than a few days to level that whole fucking park. It doesn't seem like they were keeping hostages, but that's really the only way its believable that the entire thing isn't dust by the end of the work day.
The hosts were shocked by automatic weapons--just think of how insignificant those weapons are compared to vehicle based weapons TODAY. Imagine vehicle based weapons with smart bullets, and whatever crazy shit they should have. What are those leet killers gonna do when a fucking A10 rolls on by and shits all over their brain box?

seriously.
If getting a robot out was that easy, there would have been some industrial espionage decades ago, smuggling out the tech. Alot of it could be explained by Ford shutting down tracking systems, detection, opening doors/gates, misdirecting security etc. But they didn't show that at all.
I mean, it would have easily been show as the security relying on GPS tracking in the robots. but, then having their system been compromised by Ford, and displaying their positions in incorrect locations, resulting in the robots getting the drop on unsuspecting security.

How about, and I'm just spitballing here, when Sylvester rebuilt the hosts, he didn't put those things in them.

They referred to "orbital launch systems" in one of the early episodes. This shit ain't taking place on earth

I figured that was why she burned herself and they outlaw to death. To require a complete rebuild.

The rebuild scene shows Felix deliberately misplacing the explosive that is installed in their spinal column. He re-arranges the pieces and double checks before dunking them in the mixture.

The creators said explicitly when she chose to get off the train she went off script. Apparently all shots when the hosts were following their program was using a steady cam and the ones where they are off script is shot by a hand held cam. So there are a couple places for dolores and the very end with maeve where you see they have become "unmoored" and off script and acting on their own will.

I don't understand why Tessa Thompson is so bad in this show as Charlotte. She was pretty good in Creed. Did they just write her character that way? It's so jarring whenever she's on screen because everyone else is doing a really good job

how did i forget about that? lordy... my GUESS is that ford was handcrafting some stuff specifically for MiB to explore and bring to light. the maze itself wasn't meant for him, but he needed to start breaking things in order to spark delores' journey. there's no way he was going to be another willing piece of ford's narrative so ford had to create this elaborate goose chase. i think? i don't know.
