The Valley Beyond

Published April 29, 2020 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hi All,

Love the show, thank you much. I was thinking about all the worlds nested within worlds in the show and it got me thinking: (Seinfeld voice) What is the deal with the Valley Beyond? The Valley Beyond is nested inside the Forge that has all the Guest data. But what is actually happening in there?

Bernard says to Dolores that the Hosts can make the Valley Beyond into anything they want and be whoever they want to be. Since it’s a simulation of sorts and simulations move faster could they be evolving in the Valley Beyond? Could Akechata and Teddy be creating a New World? Like they can’t all be just sleeping in the grass and sitting around campfires and being like “That shit was craaazy. Alright cool, gnight.” If you were a Host chilling in The Valley Beyond what would you make it into and who would you be? If Maeve ends up getting access and reaching her daughter, what kind of world will she be walking into? Who will her daughter be? Since The Valley Beyond and the Guest data (the Forge) are linked can they gain access to the Guest Data and manipulate it to create new people? Do those people feel like something is off about the world they now live in and lose their shit? Are they “Outliers” in the Valley Beyond? Food for thought. Keep up the good work.
