Bravo on the analysis. I really have appreciated this whole season and thought it was a fantastic finale. Answered a ton but also opened the door to so many possibilities. Only things unanswered for me were who was Ford building in that basement and what happened to head of security guy (Ashley Stubbs I think?). The Samurais and the SW logo and Maeve's daughter location on the paper tease other parks/worlds

We know that Elsie is alive if you saw my last post. Stubbs has to be as well. They "died" off screen, and you really never see it, and for important characters who are probably the most likable humans in the show, I have a funny feeling we will see both return. What went down is another story. And some people are calling it "Shogun World," which I think sounds cooler haha.
I love the show. I had a few narrative concerns with the actual logistics of the final episode on a micro scale.....like how Ford knew Dolores would reach consciousness at that moment and how everything was planned the entire time with MiB and Dolores as one cohesive narrative....yet, there's so many variables to turn out just that way perfectly. And was it necessary for all that stuff with Bernard in the episode prior? Some things confuse me with how they played out over 35 years. Also, Ford's big reveal as wanting to help the hosts reach consciousness kind of didn't make sense, given much of his previous monologues, but I can be way too fastidious sometimes. On a macro scale it all turned out wonderfully, I thought. Maybe my confusion will be cleared up in time.
