Have a Theory? Share It Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Hey Guys,<\/p>\n

Coming to you from England! There’s a few of us now listening to your show from across the pond!<\/p>\n

Few thoughts<\/p>\n

Was listening to your deep dive and heard you talking about the theory that Jim Delos was maybe sold the concept of immortality. Given the dropped detail of him being terminally ill I think this is likely. Terminal illness I feel is a feature of the show. The drive Arnold got to bring “life” to Dolores came about after Arnold found out his son was terminally ill. We now know Jim Delos was terminally and I suspect William in the present day timeline is also terminally ill. Do you think his quest for the hidden level of the park could be driven by this if he knows he is on a limited time span. Or maybe he thinks he can obtain it himself? I remember Dolores last season telling William how the years had taken their toll on him and one day he would be dust.<\/p>\n

This could also be why Logan becomes so disillusioned by what he sees coming. If humans can upload to perfect, repairable machine body what does that mean for the future of humanity?<\/p>\n

Couple of final thoughts – did you notice the camera focus on Dolore’s frozen face a couple of times during the scene where Jim visits the park? I think we are being shown that the hosts record everything even when they are frozen. Now Dolores is self aware she can access all her memories including the ones where she has been frozen. There could have been lots of things she has heard over the years which she now has access to.<\/p>\n

One slightly strange thing – when Dolores sees Angela getting dressed after a night “entertaining” Logan I presume, is it just me or did it look like she gave her a …..bitchy look?<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading and keep up the good work<\/p>\n
