Dolores is obviously experiencing variations on events. Whether those match up to the broader "2 timelines" theory is an open question. But I agree with Gator in that I don't think we can assume that Delores showing up at the campsite in distress precludes the earlier timeline. She obviously experienced two discrete "escape" scenarios. One where she was shot and another where she wasn't.
Yea, I do not trust the order right now being shown at all. Not sure that I like it as a storytelling device in this instance.
I saw the getting shot by porch-**** guy as being a memory from one of her loops- she remembers it, and then breaks the loop in the current time and gets away.
So Violent Delights is clearly (to me) a voice command just like the "dream" command that knocks hosts out, that triggers the "psychosis.". Ford said yesterday that voice commands are what remain from what Arnold was implementing.
For hosts, obviously. They have thousands.
^ ThisShe's having memories from past loops and they are influencing her actions - being able to go off script and "think" for herself. Like the others. I don't think it is some convoluted parallel universe/time travel/parsed storyline.

That's part of her daily loop. Happens every day. But this time, she remembers a previous day.
Since she's been through that loop thousands of times, I assume at one point she got shot and she was remembering it. How does the show occurring in multiple timelines explain that any better? Either they are showing two timelines simultaneously where in one she gets shot and one she does not, or she is remembering another incident where she got shot. Given everything we have seen, including the main plot of the show, the bots are starting to remember their pasts when they aren't supposed to. Presumably this will lead to them developing independent thought and will drive their actions to go "off script". Isn't that exactly what we saw in Dolores' scene?
I think the whole 2 timeline theory is b.s.. It's just prior memories. The hosts are all starting to have flashbacks. She had a flashback of that very scene with her getting shot but she wasn't actually shot in the present. All the flashes are just prior memories.
That storyline has happened multiple times. In a previous time she was shot. In the present time she remembers being shot in the past and didn't get shot. one timeline
I'll put it in spoilers in case anyone thinks this is giving something away.
Did anyone else notice that that three shots he got in at close range had no effect on the people in masks?
I do not think people are saying there are alternate timelines, just that we are possibly seeing different moments in time with a lot of that being the memory jumps.shadyridr said:
I was thinking that they are hosts, part of Ford's new storyline. We've seen hosts survive fatal attacks a few times now. The stray who woke up after getting his neck sawed into, Meave on the operating table, the host who had milk spilling out of his gun shot wounds.
I think the only "back to the future" theory so far is that Williams is a young MIB. MIB indicates he's been coming to the park 30 years. I don't think William is MIB , but, I think their is little doubt that we see what has happened over the 30 years and some of the characters we'll see in more than one timeline. And since the major theme is consciousness there is little doubt some of the characters aren't who they appear to be on the surface.
I was intently looking for Ed Harris resemblances, thinking that he's Arnold and that's who they were flashing back to, that I didn't notice it until the last possible second. Then gave it a rewind to check it out. Very well done.
Agree. I forget what it was the last episode, but those scenes between Delores and Bernard don't seem to be in the current time.
Thought that the voice over with Delores in the first episode was with the security guy? Was there a voice difference?
He was also asking questions that the security guard did not ask at the end of episode 1
I'm not sure what you mean.
Ahh I had read something about the different W signs on Reddit, man I'm gonna have to watch all these episodes multiple times!
