Ok, my one big nitpick on this episode, unless maybe I missed a detail somewhere.

Delores and Caleb wipe out Liam's fortune by moving all the money out of his account. In what world does someone like him have all their wealth in one cash account vs multiple accounts, lines of credit, stock options, etc.? That just seemed overly simple for a show that tends to nail the details.

Maybe the Connells Dolores moved it all around after he got his signature or info or whatever earlier so that actual Dolores could do that.

Yeah, that thumbprint process could have done any number of things, and who knows how money is handled 40 years from now. It's not something I'm hung up on.

Fair enough, just bothered me in a show that's so into detail on the technical side of things.

I was bugged more by the fact they just wiped him out and he took no action. Even now, there'd be lawsuits and the like, freezing up that money till the courts could decide if it was indeed a legit transaction. When even just a few million is at stake, lawyers get involved. When it's a game of Choose Zero or Choose get half back, half goes to lawyers, you choose lawyer.

Huh? When did he have time to "take action"? Liam still didn't even understand that he had been wiped out before Bernard and Stubbs grabbed him like 30 seconds later.

I had that same question

Overall, I agree that the stealing-Liam's-money plot line is a bit flimsy. As I posted after the episode, if anything, it felt redundant after Dolores had stolen all of Jerry's money in the first episode. That said, I get why they need more money - to buy up as many Delos shares as they possibly can - and again, I can suspend disbelief when it comes to how tech/accounts operate 40 years in the future. When an episode is that well-executed/structured, I'm definitely more willing to look past certain contrivances.

Man, I am so ready for tonight's episode. With dwindling TV offerings, and no new movies, this is what I look forward to watching most each week, hands down.

There it is, the reason for taking Liam's money

What was the song this week?

Also, I just realized that is Marshawn Lynch with the emotions t shirt.

Time to pick your side: a stable planet with the illusion of choice or a world where apocalypse is likely.

Also, what is going on with Caleb? What is his actual history? Was he one of the subjects that is being reprogrammed by Serac in one of his flashbacks where he was wearing googles?

Seems like Caleb really is the key this season.

Delores showed him his future, but he didn't look (or didn't get a message) when everyone else got their full profiles.

I am team chaos/apocalypse, and Dolores/Caleb are the futuristic Bonnie and Clyde we all need.

Honestly that felt like it could have been the season finale.

The world is on fire, so the other plot points that are going seem kind of irrelevant now. I wonder how they bring it back down for 3 more episodes.

Pour one out for Mantis/Pom/Martel. Thought she would've had a bigger role this season.

Yeah space oddity was perfect. I had to stop and play it back to make sure it was what I thought it was.
They have done a great job of making a deep complex plot without the multiple timelines.
I think I know (most of) Caleb's story, but won't post it because I don't want 10 other ideas coming back, one of which will be right if I am wrong, or folks figuring out more than what I wrote. But after it is resolved I will post what I thought it was, right or wrong.
And yeah, I wanna try that drug, that was awesome!

Next week seems to be when all the plot lines come together, so really looking forward to it.

And yeah, sucks it's only 8 episodes.

But, but that's what makes these threads so fun. Is it that he used to be a meth cook in ABQ?!

Also, Genre is gonna be TCTTS's dream drug.

Seems like it might make going to the movies irrelevant though, so maybe he wouldn't be all for it....

Oh damn. Either I just learned this, or totally forgot. But it certainly explains how everything seems to be moving so fast. I wasn't sure what they could do for another 5 episodes.

You don't want to post a theory because if you're afraid someone else's theory might be right?

I didn't have subs on. What was Liam saying to Caleb as he was dying?

"It was you"?
oragator
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Haha.
When the theories start coming I actually avoid these threads because I want to be surprised when stuff happens. That's always half the joy of these types of shows, being completely taken by surprise at major plot twists. Just like last week, which pretty much no one saw coming. I read the 2 timeline theory here with season 1 and it took away such a great plot twist surprise from me.
So don't wanna be a hypocrite on that, and don't wanna spoil it for myself either by inviting counter theories. But couple of tumblers did seem to click tonight.

That's what I heard.

I figured that meant that he was the one that killed Sr, but that was quickly disproven.

Maybe Caleb killed his army buddy?

This. Either spill it, or don't bring it up at all. Someone will "figure out more than you" regardless.

Ooh, good one. Re-programmed so he forgot about it?

Would be a good twist.

Yeah I'm basically certain that's the case. I wonder if he was never actually in a war, but he was sent by the system to snatch up the "wildcards" and bring them to that place.
