    How do you know the brazilian president speaks portuguese so badly? 😂 As I brazilian I thought that was ridicolous besides not speaking portguese well, they represented Brazil as generic "central" America military. Also they have a brazilian in the show, Vicent Cassel himself speaks fluent portuguese and have lived in Brazil.

    I think for creative purposes, they had to stick with France. And yeah, Bolsanaro is way worse. He is literally wearing a face mask and going to speak to the press and saying the lockdown is stupid and based on a Marxist plot. That's what he said about climate change and the Amazon fires. He loves to accuse something he doesn't like as cultural marxism which is a conspiracy theory and based on fallacious terms. He is so worse that he defends dictators during the dictatorship in Brazil and Chile which saw over 300000 leftists murdered for their ideological beliefs that he participated in and was dishonorably discharged for trying to bomb his unit. He's literally a war criminal. I mean, the US was supporting that a dictatorship that this monster participated in? This is a guy who advocates for torture, has stripped away indigenous rights, says he prefers his son dead if he was gay, and is so misogynistic that he gives Trump a run for his money. I mean, his own actions in dealing with the Covid- 19 outbreak is so bad that state governors in his own party and gang leaders are now practically in charge of said lockdowns in several provinces and cities. This is what has happened in Brazil.

How much of a leap is there really between Caleb getting the job he wanted in a free society but fucking it up because of who he is, vs. not getting the job because the company already knows the kind of person he is. People hold themselves back. It's a small percentage of people that "the system" holds down.

No need to mask his control to make it "realistic" for the population, because the population are controlled and harmless and have only the illusion of systemic influence.

    Theory: The circle representing Rehoboam's influence is not a singular circle at all, but an eclipse between reality (darker circle) and the white circle (Rehoboam). When the circle grows "chaotic" the circles simply move away from each other, when Rehoboam is less capable of controlling perceptions of reality. Strangely, this representation of world states rapidly changing via twin circles interacting is somewhat common: think of the "darksign" of Dark Souls, the eclipse in Berserk, and the eclipse in the show Heroes.

TV shows and movies just don't know how Brazilian people sound... Pretty funny, really Edit: The dude that plays Serac spoke it better than the guy that's suposed to be the president of Brazil

What I would say is that Delores has been shot lots of times, maybe on that one occasion in the tunnel she had damage to more critical parts of her inner workings. The hosts are bullet resistant rather than bullet proof.

    The woman in the hospital is not Caleb's mother, but Caleb has been "edited" to think she is. That childhood memory is a false memory created as a corner stone to keep Caleb in his loop. Without the responsibility of taking care of his "mother", Caleb would have escaped from his loop already earlier.

    Another possible referrence to both greek mythology and history is the use of the name Delos. In case it was not already mentioned, Δήλος is an island in Cyclades sacred to the Ancient Greeks. It was the birthplace of gods Apollo and Artemis: when their mother Leto was in labour, she couldn't find a place to give birth. Hera cursed her because she was pregnant with Zeus' baby. The only place in the world that accepted Leto and let her give birth was the island of Delos. Also, Delos was the chosen place were all the money of the Second Athenian League was kept. The money was famously used by the Athenians for their own purposes -much like Delos is doing with the Westworld guests.

    I hope Caleb is just a normal person and wasn't in Dolores' plans from before he met her. Not everything needs to have some super deep connection and that Dolores didn't somehow manage to plan something like Caleb and dozens of his actions down to the second. I like that Caleb is just a decent person who Dolores just wanted to help and that Caleb just decided to join her cause because he thinks it's the right thing to do. Super simple but it's fine because the rest of the story has enough complexities.

    If you check out one of the last scenes of S2, you will see that Stubbs has a smirk on his face when he lets Charlotte board the boat out of westworld. He probably knows she's the other mole and actually helps her leave without any scrutiny (he also said something like, "she's clear... Let her go"). An interesting thing no one is talking about is the implant that William has, similar to Caleb. It was shown in the initial trailers. Maybe that's what they put into ppl at the inner journeys center to "edit" or control.
