I've figured out the sum total of nothing. My mind is swirling with possibilities, and none of them make much sense at the moment. Is there anything Bernard does of which Ford is not intimately aware? If Bernard was not around at the time of Arnold, in particular, does that mean he's only come as far as he has because of the coding Ford created, and it's Ford's ability to make the AI uniquely human that may have surpassed Arnold's? With the unmasking of Bernard as AI and completely under Ford's control, everything we know and have witnessed of both characters has now been called into question. Or was he?īernard has been talking to Dolores and asking her questions, trying to set her free, but it could have been Ford the entire time, putting a completely different perspective not only on Bernard, but on Ford, as well. He was even given enough leeway to think freely. He wasn't programmed with much emotion, but he was programmed to be one of the most important people in the park as Ford's right hand man. We've been wondering for quite some time if he is or isn't, and Bernard's mystery was that he was such a stoic character. I feel a bit like Bernard at the moment, poor, far too free Bernard. Because we were treated a confirmation and a lot of conjecture with "Trompe L'Oeil." It's impossible to keep the brain from spinning out of control.
