![]() ![]() Bernard realizes that Ford must have made fundamental changes to the park's gameplay. Hale questions how the hosts are suddenly able to wield weapons. The team reviews the host's most recent memory and sees Dolores on a murderous rampage, stating: "Not all of us deserve to make it to the Valley Beyond." Days earlier, immediately following Ford's execution, Bernard hides in a barn with Charlotte Hale and a group of terrified guests. ![]() Costa cuts off the host's scalp, revealing the maze carved into it. Still passing as human, Bernard voices his concerns, but Strand insists drastic measures are needed to secure the park.Strand orders Antoine Costa, a Delos tech, to operate on a Ghost Nation host, to access its recorded memory. Bernard is troubled to see Delos security executing hosts, including Rebus. At the security base, Karl Strand, the Head of Operations at Delos, introduces himself to Bernard. They are surrounded by a buzz of private military contractors, including Maling. Relieved, he spots a friendly face: Ashley Stubbs, the former head of Delos security. Dreams don't mean anything, Bernard explains to Dolores, because they aren't real.Bernard wakes on a beach, surrounded by a Delos paramilitary team, and struggles to remember what happened. LewisIn a Delos lab, a confused Bernard confides in Dolores about his dream - from the ocean, he spots Dolores from a distant shore. Pity they had to come back.Journey Into NightWritten by Lisa Joy and Roberto PatinoDirected by Richard J. It wouldn't have taken us a year to figure it out either. Ultimately Irving's story confirms something we already knew, namely that Robinson Crusoe is a great story but it makes a lousy lifestyle choice for a mismatched couple from west London who would normally get no closer to the life of self-sufficiency than a visit to M and S. ![]() He seems content to be a bit of letch himself, focusing on Donahoe's nakedness while mercifully sparing us shots of Reed's reed. This is a fascinating story but its impossible to feel anything but irritation at these two characters and Roeg does nothing to pull us toward either of them. If Irving had hoped to spend a year bathing naked while Kingsland built the house and grew the food, she's as deluded as the old man who hoped to spend 12 months engaged in vigorous intercourse, pampered by his new wife in idyllic surroundings. In fact 9 months in and the two have virtually died from malnutrition. Some women might bale out at this stage and cut their losses but those sandy beaches are quite the lure and the two sad-sacks go anyway prompting 12 months of predictable implosion in which Kingsland angrily resents Irving's lack of sexual interest while she alone is astounded by his laziness, toe curling advances, crudity and total lack of survival instinct. She ignores the warning signs - Kingsland's obvious fear of female intelligence, the fact that he's had to advertise for a "wife" in the first place, his obvious interest in sex with a woman 20 years his junior and even, in a wonderful example of the will to ignorance, the way he contrives to spend all their money before they've left, forceing Irving to marry him in accordance with Australian immigration law. Initially she's not going to let anything, even the facts, get in the way of this protracted venture to la-la land. If Gerald Kingsland, as portrayed by Oliver Reed was as crass and obvious as one of those sex cards you find in phone boxes then Irving, as played by Amanda Donahoe is a priggish middle class suburbanite who tires of the grind of city living and facts of life like crime and Royal weddings and so imagines that she alone, despite having no idea how it might be done, will travel thousands of miles to be self-sufficient and uses Kingsland to make this a reality. If this introduction implies you should feel some sympathy for Irving then forget it. This is a gap year with a difference, in this case the gap between reality and the ignorant daydreams of a couple of selfish, moronic Londoners. ![]() A middle-aged misogynist letch harbours fantasies of groping a woman half his age who will double as a door mat and assume the role of a sexually submissive automaton on a desert Island and advertises for the same omitting everything except the woman part in this true-ish story based on Lucy Irving's account of year with this obnoxious, overweight behemoth. ![]()
