@allstar: You have noticed I never talked much about this here. Mostly because I deemed it more fun to speculate without the internet. People delve into all the little details and this way can unravel a lot which is to come, since it's all in the story and they don't just drop a twist on you without a single "hint" towards it.
This show makes you think and I like that about it. But come on, are you really going to tell me you never once thought Bernard was based after Arnold, you are also going to say that you didn't see the "Bernard is also a host" twist coming? Regardless of whether or not you posted it here. Otherwise you weren't watching closely, or perhaps too closely to what other people say on the internet.

It's cruel yes, but it's supposed to not only show how human he is, but that he's also consciously being a hypocrite.ComptonTerry wrote:Didn't think of that... but damn, Robert is one sinister motherfucker

The chapel scene is also one of the more daring takes on God and religion that I've seen in awhile. The idea itself has been foreshadowed quite a bit through the season, but still - seeing it manifested physically kinda gave me goosebumps.

predictable or not, I'm glad my ass was finally recognized on this boardNomis wrote:Ruth did say so.
Also,
Hopkins really plays the character brilliantly too. Age hasn't effected his acting. I hope he's able to make it to the second season, it would suck if something happened to him but he is getting oldChristNolan wrote:It's cruel yes, but it's supposed to not only show how human he is, but that he's also consciously being a hypocrite.ComptonTerry wrote:Didn't think of that... but damn, Robert is one sinister motherfucker
I think Robert Ford will go down as one of Nolan's best characters. It's a beautiful amalgamation of all the themes the Nolans have been obsessed with since Memento.
Frankly, I'm not sure how much more we can tell of him. It's entirely up to the writers on how vague they want some of this to be, but it does feel like we're coming to the end of his arc. Especially if something major were to go down in the finale. Then in the next season, the other characters will have to live with the consequences of his choices, much like the later seasons of Game of Thrones. His legacy can come back to haunt in many ways. I'm just spitballin' though.ComptonTerry wrote:Hopkins really plays the character brilliantly too. Age hasn't effected his acting.

The problem is -- none of the characters outside of Robert Ford and Bernard are all that interesting. Once the mastery of Hopkins is gone, will we really care about this show much longer?
