I do like the idea of a storyteller/writer robot. It's in line with the supercomputers from S3 and Dolores's artistic talents. Whatever Christina truly is, I think she's the first of a new breed, just like Prime Dolores was.<br /><br />TheShadowKnows, I think you may be on to something. I mostly agree, but I think it's less "the robots never actually escaped from the park" and more "the robots actually escaped from the park like a thousand years ago and now they're just watching old re-runs."Logan Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927158558530539708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74901217134879525882022-07-08T12:13:06.371-04:002022-07-08T12:13:06.371-04:00Personally I'm not convinced we've ever se...Personally I'm not convinced we've ever seen the "real world" on this show. "The robots never actually escaped from the park" would be an infuriating ending for many, but I wouldn't put it past the showrunners!TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12517451764792854412022-07-06T13:06:38.525-04:002022-07-06T13:06:38.525-04:00Also, keys are a lot easier to carry around in you...Also, keys are a lot easier to carry around in your pocket than eyeballs, which can be very slippery. Trust me, I know.<br /><br />Christina has gone back to Season One Square One, except that now she is not just a character that someone else wrote. She is also a writer of other characters. Not sure if they are gonna go anywhere with that, but I think that is a significant difference. Dolores showed she could transcend what she was written as. Can Christina do the same? Does she even need to if she is fully flesh and blood human? Or is she?<br /><br />Hosts are already so much like their human creators (they were written that way!) that any physical difference may eventually be moot. But like you said they haven't really raised the curtain yet (have not seen Ep 2). We're just seeing the curtain move and hearing footfalls behind it.milostanfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601982445850157037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-36654771375726977992022-07-05T11:44:47.195-04:002022-07-05T11:44:47.195-04:00Quicker maybe, but not necessarily safer.

I'm trying to just roll with it, but it's hard not to go wild with speculation.<br /><br />Thank you for the comment, Josie.Logan Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927158558530539708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-6723764640765787642022-07-04T03:52:50.656-04:002022-07-04T03:52:50.656-04:00Nice review, Logan!
You've remembered a lot ...Nice review, Logan! <br /><br />You've remembered a lot more about the previous season than I did. (I truly couldn't figure out of the Man in Black was "real" or not, and then decided not to worry about it anymore.) <br /><br />I'm really curious about what's going on with Christina. And with Caleb. Caleb's world (and Maeve's) felt much closer to our own than I expected. <br /><br />I thought the retinal eye-scan thing was hilarious. It was so slow to work, and my first thought was that it was such a great example of tech causing more problems than not; a key would be quicker and therefore safer.
