Purgatory

Hey Roger, Gene, Big D.

Sorry about that last message. I’ll do you a favor and only write in when I have some keyboard time.

I was definitely talking about Triangle (2009). You are right about Sisyphus and the film alludes to this. I would go as far as to call it Sisyphean Purgatory. I subscribe to the theory that Dolores’ loop is punishment by Dr. Ford. Again, I don’t want to ruin the film for you. If you have some free time after watching it, check out “Triangle Movie Logic Explanation” Youtube vid by Peng Yang. He may not be 100% correct, but it can help make sense of the film. And good luck with Bone Tomahawk. I love Kurt Russell. But, that film was a hard watch.

In regards to Maeve walking through Delos, I agree that the glass walls and conspicuous absence of security cameras are plot holes. It makes sense, however, that a plebe butcher would be the one to walk a host up to Narrative for diagnostics after getting fixed. I’m sure they wouldn’t let the hosts roam free and Narrative is too good to get the hosts themselves.

You guys were struggling with Arnold’s origin story during the Telegraph. If Arnold is not human, he was Dr. Ford’s first AI creation; Perhaps Arnold is even Jarvis to Dr. Ford’s Iron Man.

Again, thanks for making such a great podcast. I’ve even gotten my wife listening to Shat on TV. Have a great weekend! –Scott From Interlachen
