Dolores And William

Published June 28, 2018 · Updated July 6, 2022

Gentlemen,

Wasn’t there a scene in the first season in which William mentioned to Logan his desire to take Dolores out of the park? And didn’t Dolores respond to that by disavowing any desire of her own to leave the park? I wish Dolores head alluded to this when she met up with William in the finale. She might have said, “I didn’t want to leave the park when you wanted to take me. But now I intend to leave on my own initiative.”

What I found most unsatisfying about the finale was the total lack of any conversation between William and Dolores about any of the events in their history.

I wanted a scene in which Dolores tells William that she remembers his younger self, when he fell in love with her. Indeed, after Dolores called William a “monster”, I fully expected her to remind him that he wasn’t always a monster, that he once was a good man. To which William might have replied that Dolores broke his heart, whereupon Dolores would rebuke William for his act of blaming her for his own choices.

I would really like to have seen where such a scene would go. It’s a shame that the show completely ignored the intense history between these two characters.
