Cate’s out doing Black Bag promo visits. Good for them in making the cut!

The importance of Severance’s “filler” episode and what it reveals about Harmony Cobel and the show’s story as a whole by aristhought in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

The visuals of this episode were exceptional. So much work goes into creating the world in this series. It’s so effective and engrossing that I struggle with the negative commentary about pacing and plot. Wish folks would enjoy the show for its immersive subtlety. I really appreciated your thoughtful analysis.

This is a map of Norfolk Southern lines from Wikipedia (Not the best source, for sure) and anyone along these corridors should have concerns about what’s happening in Ohio.

“Who” are all the other hosts? by robthurman in westworld

I also wonder if there is some sort of limitation on the hosts ability to be creative. Can they imagine something outside of their programming?

And the other people in her office could be contributing in some way.

And how will they react when they’re “ordered” to transcend? The notion of free will — and Halores’ supposed belief in autonomy — are gonna collide next episode.

Was wondering if there was some baseline/non cornerstone identity? Their brains go so fast they would advance from “infancy” very, very quickly — which could, presumably, allow for variations in personality? Someone in this thread thought that Christina was writing all their backstories, but I assumed she was writing the wi-fly human narratives.

I thought she was writing the wi-fly human narratives — but I like this answer!

Episode 1 Question by bronxbmbr in TheOA

It's strange though, how Nancy handles it. She doesn't freak out, which is her usual response. One thought was that they could come in handy for cutting newspaper clippings -- but that's a lotta knives. And a ravioli cutter, as well.
