Episode 10 Telegraph
Have a Theory? Share It Now!
While I love this show, I can’t help but be put off by the constant errors and rule changes the showrunners deploy.
For example, please help me overlook the following:
• How did Kohana end up in the Valley? She did not go through the crevasse. If Akecheta visualized her as part of his “new world”, then couldn’t Teddy visualize Delores?
• Why was The Ghost Nation killing hosts only according to Stubbs when he was speaking with Emily in the detainment camp, but yet we see them shuttling hosts to the Valley?
• An hour of Akecheta (which was a great episode) to see him shuttle people into the VB for 5 minutes
• What was the purpose of Delores killing people and saying the Valley was not for everyone? That makes no sense now.
• What purpose was there for “Samurai World Armistice” to join Maeve’s crew? Literally no importance at all. She said nothing and did nothing.
• The showrunners put emphasis on Maeve’s powers all season. Ford grants her commands and all she did in the finale was halt people for 20 seconds? She stopped Samurai armies previously for God’s sake

You’re right that there are definite rule changes and plot hole issues, but I can answer some of these:
Kohana was in Eden, because Ford put her there. After their discussion, where Akecheta said he would find her in the new world, Ford went down to cold storage and made sure she would be there. This wasn’t done for anyone else that we know of, so no Dolores.
Yes, after a beautiful hour of Akecheta’s story, we see him reach his final goal and get to the good, pure, untouched by humanity world, where he can be the person he was when he was created, living a life with his tribe and family all around him. He made it. He’s home. That’s great, not a problem.
Dolores only said that line about the valley beyond and not being meant for everyone once. We saw it twice, when we saw the playback of the ghost nation brave she killed, and then again when we see that scene. She didn’t say it to anyone else. She said it to that guy, because Ghost Nation was trying to stop her from going there, and said it wasn’t meant for her. So, this was a line thrown back in his face, because not only IS she going to go there, but this guy isn’t.
The purpose of Shogun World was because Lee and Maeve needed to have a bonding moment to justify Lee’s season arc where he comes to see the hosts as real and worthy of dignity and ultimately sacrifices himself to save them. Maeve needed to view herself from outside by observing her Dopplebot to help her understand this world more than her programmed desire to flee it. We needed to have heart added in the show, so we played it out in a park where the stories were still going, so the characters still had dramatic narrative arcs, where the characters still die and have longings that aren’t just the robot uprising. We needed Shogun world, because it was teased in season 1. We needed Shogun world, because now we can return to those characters in later seasons and explore what any of those other parks do now. Do they have their own forge,eden, cradle, etc?
