Teddy’s Timeline

July 25, 2022

Hey guys,

Wow what an episode! There are a lot of reveals this week but one thing that has been bothering me the past few weeks is that I dont know if Teddy is existing on the same timeline as Bernard & the resistance. It could be weeks, months, or even years apart. This week when you watch Teddys scenes and Stubbs scenes, youll notice that the weather is completely opposite. The show took care to showcase gorgeous, sweeping shots of the city but in Stubbs timeline, the shots are sunny, blue skies, crisp, and saturated. Meanwhile, Teddy and Christina are shot in extreme fog that covers half the city, and a much more subdued color palette. If these scenes needed to have the same weather for continuity, they would have ensured shoot days had the same weather, but they dont. Its possible that the Teddy plant occurs by the resistance but weeks/months/years after Stubbs & crew go in to rescue the outlier. If not, then maybe the foggy weather was just symbolic, to show that Christina wasnt awake yet. Come to think of it, have we ever seen Christinas city in the same lighting and color scheme as Stubbs team did? I dont think so but someone correct me if Im wrong please!

Also, is Teddy truly even Teddy? I thought Bernard had a one-time entrance key to the Sublime so Im not sure he could have removed Teddys consciousness from there. Is the weapon Maeve rebuilding Teddy the best she could similar to Dolores building Bernard off of Arnold? Then sending Teddy into NYC to awaken Christina and start the next rebellion?

Cheers,

PS: The other thing that bugged me about the Outlier extraction is that Jay gets the notification about the breach while theyre in the desert and says they have to get there fast. Now we know why, because The Game usually begins and whichever host in NYC is closest to the Outlier at the time typically tracks down the Outlier and immediately kills them. So we know Hale didnt initiate The Game this time because she says so and she sends Willy Bot (petition to make this his official name) to kill the Outlier this time instead, because she doesnt want to risk infecting and losing another host. SO heres the question: if this all always happens so fast, HOW does Jays team always get from the desert (Nevada?) to NYC faster than hosts (or in this scenario, Willy Bot) could get to the Outlier??! I can only imagine that traveling cross country undetected in this post-apocalyptic world is extremely difficult. We finally feel confident that NYC is real and on the East Coast, but is it?? Has NYC been rebuilt somewhere in the desert near the Hoover Dam somehow? I dont know how they could simulate NYC weather and climate if they did, it seems far fetched to me but I had to throw it out there!
