jesus christ those last 20 minutes. So many twists. MY HEAD IS SPINNING
I thought that Times Square photo confirmed dual timelines earlier in the episode, but then Dolores walking through the church seemed to imply the "blue dress" version of her was 30 years ago, and the current day version was reliving those moments, which would mean it's still one timeline. I think?? The MIB walking in at the end when she asked "William?" is the only thing that makes me question it, but I feel like it was too ambiguous if they were actually trying to reveal something. The simpler explanation is that MIB and William were in the same timeline after all. BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE PHOTO
Maeve's storyline continues to be the weak link of the show, I thought after last week it'd get more interesting, but then she easily overpowers Bernard and it's back to her being a god. A big reason Dolores' storyline has been so much more engaging is that she actually encounters challenges. Though I guess with Bernard being dead and Maeve killing herself again, she might meet with Ford? I feel like that'd be a pretty fitting showdown for the finale
The times square pic helps support the two timelines I think. I'm so certain that this is the case and that William=MIB at this point that I'd be shocked if it wasn't the case. I imagine it'll be revealed in the finale so I'm excited. They have a good amount to get to next week
It probably is the case, there's really no other way to explain the photo. I guess the fact that Dolores was wearing the "cowgirl" outfit instead of the blue dress in the future was meant as a misdirect to make us think we were seeing her in the William/Logan timeline after she ran off. Makes sense how her wound suddenly healed too (appeared to anyway). Wonder where she's going in the past timeline then? I would think they're gonna keep with that storyline for at least the finale, and she couldn't have been going to the church unless this is her THIRD time there
And I'm still curious to see what the POINT of all that misdirection in general was. Like the entire season has been building up to this at this point, I would hope it's leading to some (other) huge revelation
I agree that William=MIB and I've been holding out for a long time on that one. My thing is, I feel like Dolores would recognize the MIB as William at this point- so that means that in the "30 years ago" timeframe, he must've done something awful when he finally found her.
Despite William showing his dark side and slaughtering the Confederados, it'd be a pretty huge leap for him to do something to Dolores in that timeline and I don't think it'd make much sense. I think it's more likely that Dolores still hasn't put that piece together quite yet - she's still remembering things bit by bit, and I think MIB walking in at the end is what's gonna make that part click for her
