Serac doesn’t exist. He’s just a figment that Rehoboam digitally projected. I think Rehoboam is another AI whose primary drive and function is threatened by Dolores.

That’s probably why Serac can’t be found in any info. databases.

[Randy.Bobandy]

Hale is Dolores. It's the two sides of Dolores. The innocent version and the Wyatt version. Hence the black and white yin and yang imagery, two sides of the same coin.

[TheRichardchaney]

Dolores obtained Caleb’s Incite data from the rich guy, Jerry, in the opening scene of the
season along with his money with the tablet exchange.
The symbols Hale has scratched into her body look like Orion’s belt. In season 1 ‘the stray’ the
woodcutter, who was trying to upload data, also carved this symbol. The inner
Charlotte trying to get a message out? Arrows turn into rehoboam in the opening credits and appear on Nathan's sheets and pillow case.

This show and a Better Call Saul are doing great things in these times

[lboslo]

Great video, as always, really enjoy your work.
There are two Halebodies, the one that Dolores walked out of the park in, then the one they showed her printing, in Arnold’s house. One body has a large mole on the left cheek, the other not. You can see in the Delos office scenes, no mole; Dolores scenes, mole.
There’s either two bodies cruising around, or D left an empty back at the house, and we’re seeing two timelines.

I am a huge fan of Westworld, despite boasting big visuals, tech and action the show maintains a complex, cerebral, esoteric feel. I am disappointed that the ratings continue to slide considerably, bit worried about the longevity of the show in that respect, but i do feel S3 is quite strong. I am fascinated with so many of the concepts and mysteries going on, which host is in Hale ? exact intentions of Rehoboam and Serac , who are the other pearls, more clarity on Caleb, Dolores' masterplan (which is becoming a bit more clear), how Maeve and Bernard will impact things etc. But many of these questions and intrigue do not seem to be resonating with the mass audience as much. I am open to other ideas and candidates but the more i am watching i am coming around to the fact that it could be multiple versions of Dolores as several of the pearls, one of which is in Hale which embody different degrees of elements of her past experiences and personas ; the level of familiarity comment seemed especially telling. Even current Dolores i would not classify her as purely Wyatt, she is not unhinged going around inflicting mass carnage, she has a deliberate plan and targeting certain people. With Caleb much more seems to be going on than what we have been presented - is he already dead ? is his whole arc a simulation ? And in general it does seem more likely we are getting simulations within simulations on a broad scale, i am not even convinced RICO is not a crime simulation program for example.

It does seem the show-runners who said S3 would be much easier to follow and a more straightforward may have exaggerated a bit with certainly many complex moving parts to follow and piece together, although i am personally extremely pleased with the season so far ; complex esoteric cerebral mysterious storytelling is some of my favorite. Just a shame the concepts, dilemmas and mysteries are not gaining more traction within the HBO audience and attracting larger viewership, hopefully that changes in short order.

[elsastark]

Dolores is actually Ford hence the you belong to me line and Charlotte is actually Dolores which is why she reveled in killing the pedo.

[thirty_ish]

Dolores is Wyatt and Hale is Dolores (with a little Hale still in there somewhere? Maybe?) It’s the only logical conclusion I’ve been able to reach. Who does Dolores trust more than herself?

[skullmonkey]

Hi Robert. Great content as always! I would like to share with you my own personal tinfoil hat theory. I think that Serac isnt human or is no longer human, but is an aspect or representation of Rehoboams self aware AI. I think it's motivation to gain access to the host heaven is so it can account for all variables that may effect the course it is laying out for humanity. It fears what it cannot quantify and a large group of self aware host consciousness locked away from its influence makes it very nervous!

[sjsphotog]

SUPERB analysis and recap. WOW @4:02 you called it !! that Delores was inside Hale! great job. LOVE this channel. you're the best. keep it up

[Tubbs_]

What about Calebs enhancements??? I was waiting for your take on that. Dont forget Calebs mom says the same thing that Nathan says to Hale. “I want my son back”. Hmmmm. Caleb is a host? And what about how Delores shows him where he will kill himself. Is Delores stuck in a time loop glitch again? Did Caleb ALREADY kill himself?? Looking forward to the livestream. Plus did you notice how Hales ex called her Charlie?? Same as Bernards kid. Or was that Arnolds kid? Was Charlie based on Arnolds real kid? Is Arnolds real child Hale? Oh man. Westworld. Here we go again!!

[tal]

Hale is Dolores and Dolores is Ford - maybe that's why Dolores said that Hale belongs to her, and that she knows them better than anyone.

[alguemalguem]

I have a probably wrong take on who the host inside Charlotte is. I think it could be the Charlotte equivalent of Bernard, like he was to Arnold. Faithful copies begin to break down once put in host bodies, so I think that Dolores, having gone through Charlotte's profile in the Forge, tweaked her to be just different enough to work once put in a body, like she did with Bernard using Arnold as the blueprint. All the issues Charlotte exhibited in episode 3 could be a growing pains version of what the conflict between mind and body the Forge's system said, and the things she went through, like killing the pedo that was grooming her son, and seeing the recorded message, they helped smooth over the cognitive dissonance.

[ravenlord]

Yeah, I'm convinced that the Hale body is Dolores, who is slowly being influenced by Hale's original personality. The Dolores body is flat out Wyatt.
I think Serac isn't human. My bet is that he is a holographic projection of Rehoboam into the real world.
Edit note: I'm half convinced that Caleb is dead in the real world, and what we are being shown is his existence in the mirror (Rehoboam) world.

[ToastOnToast]

I come back every time for that soothing voice, it's almost like a young David Attenborough started doing episode breakdowns.

[jackcoogan]

Is it just me, or did Charlotte’s ex husband call her “Charlie”? Seems to put some fuel on the flame that Charlotte is Arnold’s or Bernard’s
daughter

[seanahmed]

Tessa Thompson's acting was really something this episode. A robot pretending to be a human, in the process becoming more human than she wants to allow.

[semgroup]

Did you notice the pattern of Charlotte's son bedding. Arrows like in the opening ?

[portoc]

Also it's entirely possible that Serac's first data transaction was with either William or Ford. If it was 20 years ago then the park would have been open under Ford's control.

[hectorcorniel]

I have 2 candidates. 1st one is Grace, Williams's daughter . She knows business, loss her mother.
The 2nd candidate is kind of crazy, but maybe Dolores is Ford and Hale is Dolores. That's why she said remember I own you.
