Man in Black Has 2 Timelines?

Published December 11, 2016 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hi,

I generally don’t email in to American shows as by the time we see the episodes in Thailand it’s all over bar the shouting. However something that is being consistently glossed over for convenience is the thought that Dolores’ first meeting EP1 with the man in black is a memory or the second meeting at the church is.

Ed Harris certainly looked a bit younger or at least less worn in episode 1 and when Dolores is traversing the old office hallways below the church in her blue dress the techs are alive and she is able to talk to Arnold. Then she is back in pants there are no techs and she is alone. She returns upstairs and encounters MiB and she’s in pants. Either this is a continuity error or possibly there is more to be revealed.

Note the other incarnations of Dolores in pants are when William has her change out of her blue dress, she also has a memory of traversing the halls and the techs have been recently killed. How in the MiB timeline is she suddenly in pants?

Pants Dolores” William era
Blue dress Dolores” Man in Black era (could this be the Maeve /Child time)
Pants Dolores” Man in Black (memory or modern? As this could be before blue dress Dolores)

It’s 7am and memory is hazy so I should go check out previous episodes. Kind Regards,
