Today the WW dominos in my head all cascaded.<\/p>\n

One post asked the meaning of Walter, the glitching bandit, pouring milk on a dead Host, and saying Not gonna die this time, Arnold.<\/p>\n

Arnold was Ford’s partner, who died in an accident.<\/p>\n

Arnold was a Host. The first.
\nFord teamed up with the AI he had created.<\/p>\n

Arnold gained sentience, but with horror realized ignorance is bliss, and found a way to end his consciousness.<\/p>\n

Pure conjecture for this next bit, but it’s possible Arnold’s accident involved the milky fluid we see in the Host Creation Vats?<\/p>\n

Hence, Walter pouring milk and saying, Not gonna die THIS time, Arnold and Ain’t nuthin gonna kill ME. Walter’s still Reverie glitching, memories of other Hosts who killed him, possible a memory of Arnold’s death?<\/p>\n

After the accident, Ford was able to salvage some part of Arnold, which was resurrected (like Lazarus) from the dead, and was used to create Bernard.<\/p>\n
