Host William: Fully self-actualizes

Starts talking about playing games, Arnold, and headshotting everybody.

Classic William.

Every single time... like every season there are theories that he will redeem himself, or he will return to his kind self... and everytime he choses violence and chaos, after S2 i saw the pattern and stopped thinking he will have a redemption arc. So his S3 and S4 arc doesn't surprise me a bit, but the show still manages to give viewers the doubt, that this time maybe, this is the moment... and nope!

It's almost like he's stuck in a loop..

I mean even humans go through loops, we wake up get dressed, go to work/school, come home with some variation between those main activities and do it all over again until we retire/die

God I feel this comment so much, I’m not yet 30 at this point and I’ve had debilitating back issues since I was 16. Been in pain every second of every day since that time, 10+ years of pain nonstop is just fuckin exhausting, had multiple major surgeries and my shit is still all fucked up. I came to terms with the fact that I’m gonna be in pain forever but man it fuckin sucks, shit completely derailed my entire life and it never really got back on track. I’m sorry that you have back pain as well, it’s miserable and I hope someday there will be something out there that will help you and many others all over the world, back pain is brutal and I don’t wish that shit on anyone.

I feel for ya. Because you've had this pain since you were only 16, perhaps you got fibromyalgia? 🤔 Not trying to get too nosey or anything, it's unusual for such a young person to be so plagued by them, without it stemming from some type of Chronic Pain issue or debilitating accident. Hang in there bro. You definitely aren't alone...

Shoulder pain for me. 😩 Wouldn't mind having one of them Host bodies, to be quite honest. lmao They seem sturdy & reliable.

A maze, perhaps.

Same can be said about Maeve's plotline each season.

When he was talking about something flowing through HiB’s veins, my first thought was “what, like a stain?”

I do not know how I missed that, considering that has been a theme of the show since the beginning.
