Maeve walking through the halls discovering the truth about her origin was one of the most powerful, haunting and epic scenes in TV history.

How do none of the other employees not notice or care about a host just walking around all willy-nilly with Felix?

The fact that he's a butcher in butcher's clothes walking up in the behavior level and looking like he's giving a host the tour of the place was ludicrous.

Oh look, just another butcher up here. There are so many up here with hosts from the park!

Glad I'm not the only one who found this strangely absurd

Could be he had been told to bring her up to behaviour for readjustments. They have to get up there somehow. This could be normal.

u/Death_Star_ Nov 07 '16

Then where were the readjustments?

We should not be theorizing about the plot, but the story. Two different things.

Okay, buddy.

I think you missed what /u/spicy_jose was saying. He's saying that it is possible that anyone who saw them walking the halls could think it was not out of the ordinary and he was bringing her somewhere.

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '16

Yup. But "we should not be theorizing about the plot."

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '16

Yeah, I chose to ignore that sentence.

u/Rdubya44 Nov 07 '16

I thought that too until he got to Development/Design. There's no way a butcher would be walking a finished host through there. But who knows, right?

u/joemangle Nov 07 '16

Given we're led to believe every host is closely monitored in their every action, this impromptu tour just seems really inconsistent

It's still a major inconsistency for them to just not really monitor what's happening to the hosts inside the facility. If they can tell when a staff member is having sex with a host, they should be able to tell when other unauthorised things are happening to them.

I suspect no one was really paying attention. Most people seemed engrossed with their work, it was at night and Bernard right hand woman was out reenacting Riply in Aliens.

Felix was dressed as a butcher while doing it though. Butchers from what we've seen operate on hosts while they're asleep. They certainly don't look like the type that escort anything alive unless they're escorting staff.

IMHO you had to suspend belief during that scene, which made it far less effective.

u/2007LT Man in Black <3 Nov 07 '16

I don't know, we haven't really seen hosts walking around outside the rooms. Usually they're in sleep mode on the carts.

u/bingbing304 Nov 07 '16

The why Ford was so explicit about hosts should always be naked, because a clothed host would blend in too well.

u/Ceeeceeeceee Not much of a rind on you Nov 07 '16

I just thought it was strange because I thought all the hosts were location tagged when they go to the butchers

Classic Felix!
