The return of the fly (no pun intended) I don&#8217;t think this is an accident. S1E1 opening scene, the fly on Deloris&#8217; face.<br \/>\nS1E1, 41:10, the sheriff glitches when the fly lands on his face. S2E5, Deloris tells the story of how the disease of the herd was spread by flies. S2E6, 51:38, you hear a distinct fly buzz right as teddy goes terminator on the park security dude. not sure what this all means but why waste screen time with that dialog if it means nothing. <\/p>\n<p>2. now that we know the cradle is the matrix for hosts, some dialog from earlier episodes makes more sense. recurring phrase from every episode, &#8220;is this now&#8221;.<br \/>\nS2E4, 28:59, Bernard says &#8220;Elsie, I&#8217;m not here with you now am I?&#8221; then at 29:40, &#8220;they weren&#8217;t building hosts, not exactly&#8221;.<br \/>\nbut the control units (cupcakes) were red, not white.<br \/>\nnon-cradle\/matrix units?  human brain replacements? Mr. Delos experiments is a different type of control unit? <\/p>\n<p>3. religious imagery.<br \/>\nlots to go on here but the most obvious I thought were:<br \/>\nS2E2, 21:40, the solders having a meal.  imagery of the last supper. Deloris then kills and resurrects him.<br \/>\nTo be born in her image.<br \/>\nBut he rebels, the fall from grace.<\/p>\n<p>one could go on and on about original sin and the gift of knowledge relating to the hosts journey. (wisdom can not be obtained without life experience)<br \/>\nis Deloris still evolving now that she remembers HER decisions and is observing the consequences? (Teddy) (you have discussed Deloris changing Teddy , just not in the context of an overarching religious theme) why use the religious trope if it doesn&#8217;t foreshadow what is to come? <\/p>\n<p>that&#8217;s probably enough for now.<br \/>\n\ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nlove the podcast!<\/p>\n<p>Stephen from Jacksonville, FL <p><strong>Subscribe Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Android:\u00a0<a title=\"Android\" href=\"https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-android<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Apple\/iTunes:\u00a0<\/em><a title=\"iTunes\" href=\"https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-itunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-itunes<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Help Support the Podcast<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Contact Us: <a href=\"\/contact\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/contact<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Commission Movie: <a href=\"\/support\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/support<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support with Paypal: <a href=\"\/paypal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/paypal<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support With Venmo: <a href=\"\/venmo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/venmo<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Merchandise: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Amazon With Our Affiliate Link &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=shatmovies-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=shatmovies-20<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Theme Song &#8211;\u00a0<a title=\"The Ecstasy Of Gold\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/album\/hip-hop-feat.-western-fistful\/id383104544\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;The Ecstasy Of Gold&#8221; (Hip Hop Instrumental Version)<\/a> \u00a0by\u00a0<a title=\"Dj 2 Bad\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/artist\/dj-2-bad\/id380839995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dj 2 Bad<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Outro Music &#8211; By <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/simonsteric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Simon Eric Haywood<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Guys, Something to look out for in the up coming episodes I don&#8217;t think I have heard discussed yet: 1.
