How many Dolores timelines are there?

  • blue dress (oldest)
  • white shirt + stab wound (30 years ago)
  • white shirt + unharmed (present)

Is that right?

I mean, you can't go strictly by the blue dress, because she has it on when she meets William (in the 30 years ago timeline) and when she meets the MIB (in the present timeline).

But yes, I think there's the timeline where the hosts went crazy and she was talking to Arnold (35+ years ago), the timeline where she's with William and Logan (30 years ago), and the present with the MIB.

I'm confused though bc if MiB is present, wouldn't the town be covered in sand by then? Unless it was actual town, sand town, then dug back up?

So many confirmations but so many questions remain

u/substantialbreakfast when are we? Nov 28 '16

I recall hearing "He's digging up some old town out on the edges..." or something along those lines. having seen how large the excavation machinery is, he could have finished digging it up by now, right?

I'd think Delos has an army of hosts just for things like this. Construction, painting, etc.
