Hands Of The White Man

Published May 28, 2018 · Updated July 6, 2022

Dear Shat Hosts:

When Bernard enters the cradle and he wakes up on the train, he looks at his hands and they look white. Why?

This reminded me of an interview with Peter Mullan which I found odd. You know in the behind the scenes shorts that HBO releases, they will showcase interviews with actors when they are in costume and are obviously filming e.g. you see Thandie Newton in her black sheath and Rinko Kinkuchi with blood all over her jaw. Well, you get an interview with Peter Mullan who had a cowboy hat on and he is being interviewed on the train, sitting next to the window, just like Bernard. I found that interview odd because we didn’t see him in that setting before.

Now, if my tin foil hat theory is correct and Bernard downloaded the information from Peter Abernathy and that information happen to include James Delos’ consciousness, then Bernard would bring James Delos, and his white hands, with him into the cradle.
