Bernard ——The closest thing viewers had to a hero to identify with

S1 Human character-- S2 Heroic host--S3 public enemy

He lives a transientand asceticlifestyle in this episode. The authorities remain vigilantin the worldwide manhunt for him. C police have maintained heightened security checkpointsat all ports transit terminalsnow. He was describedas a disgruntledemployee who deadly rampagethe park. It certainly doesn't jibe withthe gentle, bespectacled man we've come to know. Bernard, if anything, is a scapegoat for the violent delights unleashed in WW. He tried to stop and mitigatethe massacre. But still he remains responsible for it in the eyes of the law for a few reasons.

Dolores recreated his body and effectively resurrected him, not because she needs him as an accompliceor a friend but rather than as an adversary. If artificial intelligence is going to make it in the real world, they are going to need to keep each other honest and on edge.

连接词:And yet, simply put, for starters, if anything, but still.

Maeve certainly looked cool in season 3, but ultimately didn't receive any logical arc

Maeve was one of the breakout characters of ww's 1st season. She’s an accomplished fighter, a bold and formidable butt-kicking woman refused to bow to the expectations of men, who wanted nothing more than to understand her own reality and to live with no strings. She convinced somewhere around a half dozen Delos employees to help her self-actualize, fought her way to sentience on her own terms and won over fans in the progress.

In this season, she spends most time in chasing after Dolores in the hopes of somehow reuniting with her daughter in the Valley Beyond, and apparently that 's supposed to count as a character arc. The show seems happy enough to simply present maeve as a foil for the other host, albeit one who may have little real choice in her actions. she gets to end the season in a hero pose alongside Caleb, staring into streets filled with chaotic rioters and echoing one of her earliest lines: this is the new world, you can be whoever the f- you want.

On the surface, this feels like an empowering conclusion for her character, as she finally seizes her own agency with both hands in the real world. But we also have no idea what it was about her final mental conversation with Dolores that inspired about her sudden, thorough change of heart. The two women had multiple versions of this same debate about humanity, free will and the future of host-kind all season.

Maeve’s entire narrative trajectory :

s1.She was formidable and uncompromising, dedicated not just to learning who and what she was, but to using that knowledge to escape the park she viewed as a prison.

s2 Maeve returns to the park to search for her daughter, driven by her urge to reconnect with the child she lost.

s3 Her plans are quickly thwarted and she’s brought to heel under the control of yet another man, who threatens her with erasure and cold storage.
