Great podcast! I appreciate your guys’ structure with the Instacast, Deep Dive, and Telegraph. It’s really been a great compliment to the show and I enjoy the perspective each of you bring to the table. Now….on to the juicy stuff….

1st Topic – Maeve Degrading Sizemoore
– For one reason or another, the scene when Maeve made Sizemoore strip down to his bare balls was interesting to me (and not because I had been wondering this whole time why Sizemoore had an unrelenting urge to sleep with anything that moved). It was interesting to me because I couldn’t help but feel a sort of symmetry within this scene. I believe it speaks to the degradation that Maeve felt during one of the instances she was being brought back into the fold, in which the hosts were usually completely naked while being quality checked, and started becoming self-aware. I think it’s an interesting note towards her character in that shame is a key element of being human. Shame is attributed to an internal feeling of distress/wrongdoing and I feel it was her intent to transpose that same feeling within Sizemoore. I think it’s a beautifully subtle way to show the audience just how much Maeve has become self-aware.

2nd Topic – The Wolf Theme
– Here’s another thing I can’t seem to shake from my memory of episode 1 season 2, as well as snippets from season 1. I really enjoy Native American folklore and think the story of the wolf, and everything it represents, is a neat way for the writers to pay respect to the dichotomy of story lines throughout the season. My favorite wolf folklore is tied to the idea of there being two wolves within all of us and the one we feed is the one that influences the majority of our decisions and end up defining us as a person. Case in point, the differences between Maeve and Dolores….they each have the ability to be cruel, vengeful, scheming, empathetic, and manipulative but their actions consistently feed certain parts of their narrative and will eventually lead them down paths that define their place within the series. With the wolf showing up after times of chaos, but also during times of no significance within season 1 and now season 2, I think it’s going to continue to be a key symbol of the internal struggle each character will face throughout the series.

Just wanted to get your guys’ thoughts. Keep up the great work and I sure hope I’m one of the ones that makes it to the valley beyond.

Sincerely,

Daniel Martinez
