Big fan of the podcasts…<\/p>\n

I just wanted to point out a few things to you gentlemen:<\/p>\n

1. the body being created in Ford’s basement was that of Teresa. He planned out her death well ahead of time, as Bernard remarked, “these machines can create a host in a few days.”<\/p>\n

2. Also, I’m pretty sure that Bernard was created in the image of Arnold, as stated above, and that the flashbacks show his initial interactions with the hosts. He regressed from society and became disillusioned with the real world after the seat of his son.<\/p>\n

3. Ford may have the technology to transfer consciousness, maybe even relative to his body (another potential host? Is that what MIB is after?!?)<\/p>\n

4. In addition, Ford mentioned him having spoken to another board member, outside Teresa at the lunch sit down. This person is likely a host plant in the board, illustrated by his confidence in dismissing Teresa without concern for repercussion ( at the lunch meeting and when he kills her).<\/p>\n

5. I think fords plants may go outside of Delos into the real world, where he could control various organizations etc without detection.<\/p>\n

6. Dolores may be a hidden villain, and be the reason white hat William gets jaded into the MIB, as he falls for her only to later realize he was being played by ford the whole time! (Since Bernard is a host, he is essentially a lackey for ford. As such, he is the one that pumped up Deloros to go on This planned adventure with William.<\/p>\n

7. Lastly, as has been previously postulated, the maze is a topographical map of Costa Mesa, as the tech commented in episode 7 that “this place is built to keep [the hosts] from leaving,” hence, a maze. It is the “sum of your experiences” because a host only makes it there after “dying.” Therefore, they have to “make it out” of the maze in whatever condition their life\/remembered experience has left him\/her (i.e. A bullet wound, head injury, untrusting of humans, etc), so choose your battles wisely!<\/p>\n

I’ve actually got more but that is enough to chew on for now! Boom!!!<\/p>\n
