Argh, yes. I deserve a whoosh parrot for that display of idiocy.

In an earlier episode (8?), Bernard, and Theresa go through the cottage to the underground basement where they meet Ford, etc.

In ep 9, Dolores goes through the church to seemingly the same underground basement to talk to Bernarnold.

The church is buried in sand, in the middle of a desert, and we have seen the cottage in the present day, in the woods.

Am I missing something? How do they lead to the same place?

They described the cottage basement as an outpost station, where they could perform routine maintenance without taking the hosts all the way back to the central hub. They mentioned that there were a few of them all over the park.

Just put sky on the this morning to stick "breakfast " on and the finale is there to download. Available since 2am . Has that always been the case that you could view on download 2 days before airing ? No time to watch before work now though !!

Not for the series.

It was simulcast for the season finale.

This is distinctly possibly. I wondered if Ford is the AI singularity, created by Arnold who then kils off Arnold and promotes himself to be the overiding 'brain' who runs the park. Strange that Ford has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to control everyting around himself with no apparently physical outward sign when it suits him. Only someone/something connected to the park computers could do that.

Delores killed Arnold

But I think that Ford is a host

I think we've only got Ford's word that Dolores killed Arnold..

So as this has now aired in the UK, albeit at 2am, can we discuss this or what?

[ali_kat]

Oh, you're so funny

Of course you can, you had your own thread set up for it

Serious answer is - based on GoT I'm guessing not until the appointed hour in the thread title.

[Flip Martian]

Leave it to the UK air date - the spoiler thread is already there.

I've watched the last episode now but won't post anything here.

Enjoy for yourself

Delores said it in confessional didn't she? End of last week's episode. Although my attention with this had waivered. Seems a little predictable. And if not almost as if it's being made up as they go along! Probably based on theories put forward on the Internet by viewers because the writer's have exhausted all ideas.

Other than the fact that it was written and mostly produced ages ago, certainly well before air date.

oh wow, do you mean they really DON'T make multi million dollar tv series with loads of SFX every day then screen them immediately?!! I AM SO SHOCKED!

Dearie me, the idea they can make a tv series based on what viewers are saying about it on the internet...

[Janluke]

Just sitting done to it now, will be back later to hear everyone's thoughts

She did, but was it her saying it or her being prompted to say it and even if she did think she did it, did she actually do it or was it implanted in her memory a la Ford's son, etc..

In fairness, show runners can revise their plans for the following series based on viewer feedback.

This was Carlton Cuse, who worked with Abrams on Lost:
"I think both Guillermo and I are hopeful that fans are going to enjoy the show and we’ll be looking to see how people react. It’s instructive, as we’ll be looking forward to the second season to see what people like and don’t like. The advent of social media has created a real conversation around the show, and there were positive aspects that I experienced in "Lost"."

Although obviously he said "positive" there when what he really meant was "positive and HUGELY NEGATIVE".

I'm nor sure if that's ever been done for any HBO show.

[TEKNOPUG]

Absolutely loved this series. When can we start talking about the final episode?

Well I've seen it so from my point of view yes. But as per title NO not yet (Unless the final episode was last Tues, I lose track!!). There is another thread, if in doubt, you could discuss it on now though.
