Great episode, knew 99.99% of the stuff would happen, but hey ho. Didn't really ruin the fun for me. I just feel confused when it comes to fan communities - it can be super awesome and fun (unless people start crossing all lines, then it just becomes gross), and a part of me kind of wanted to partake in all of the fanhosting (bad pun, I kno) and speculating, but I'm also glad I never did - that subreddit has become like a full blown toxic circlejerk with some people even going as far as sending death threats to those who weren't salivating all over their tinfoil theories. In a few years, I swear this show will be best known for all of this shit and not the show itself haha.
EDIT: plus some people feeling sooo included when they mention "Doesn't look like anything to me" 35 times in every single thread. Cringe.

Robert giving Dolores the narrative of watching the murder of her family is direct revenge for her killing Arnold. An endless loop of suffering is a callback to Memento and, in a way, the Tesseract scene in Interstellar (if he never got out, that is).
Jeffrey Wright was absolutely stellar like the entire episode. Wow. I think I trust Jonah to pull this off, the Arnold mystery's resolution was exquisite. Still ambivalent about all that maze stuff but we'll see.
I was completely mindfucked by Dolores' wardrobe changes, but I guess that was the point
MIB = William is 99% confirmed I think at this point with the multiple timelines being a reality
I feel like the second viewing of this season is going to be much more satisfying than the first.

Didn't think of that... but damn, Robert is one sinister motherfucker
