    I am thinking, as has been said, we're seeing Dolores retracing the journey she originally took with William. That's why she's suddenly alone in the train with the nitro-coffin. Or maybe she's just "reliving" it as she remembers it?
  • It's weird how such a mainstream, high end vacation park would be set in such a racially charged time period.  Look at the crack the Confederado made about El Lazo, something about how he's the kind of brown person who knows his place and could be useful, or something to that effect.  A lot of minority vacationers would be turned off for sure, but maybe this is only the wild super advanced park story.

    I came here to post something like this. I haven't been convinced of the two timelines theory because of a bunch of inconsistencies that would appear. But if the William timeline is mostly a Dolores flashback (i.e., we are not seeing the william timeline as it actually happened, but as Dolores "remembers" it), that would make a lot of the problems go away. We know for a fact that the hosts are programmed to ignore a bunch of things, so that would explain the hosts looking like current ones and some of the other timeline issues.

    Is there ANY time in history that isn't "racially charged" ? When you think about it, most all of history is this way. They do have "family safe" areas (and we have seen proof of them "protecting guest children".

    Has anyone seen what the latest thing people are freaking out over? A simple anagram:

    Bernard Lowe = Arnold Weber

    I've been on the BernieBot train since episode 2 but I don't know about this. I don't think we've actually been told Arnold's last name. It's a fun thought though!

  • I've been wondering about that war. It's not the Civil War, which is clearly over. A campaign against Confederate holdouts?

    They are "defectors", the war may not be over, but we haven't made it to that part of the park yet. Logan mentioned that he heard the "war" is happening at the fringes of the park, but he's never made it that far out.

    Now with the above, it kind of goes to show Logan almost as the classic bully. He's a tough guy, until ish gets real and then he's out in his place.

    I think the ex-soldiers were basically mercenaries.

    Exactly a lot of ex Confederate army members moved West.

    Absolutely. As Rufus Carlin (the reluctant, time-travelling black pilot) in "Timeless" said, "Look at me. I'm black. There wasn't any time in American history that was awesome for me."
