The Devil's Advocate
Call me Dad
i think y'all doing a little too much hereI been on to MIB for a minute but I'm not 100% sure like I was Bernard last season...
I think the reason for that is because MIB is William unlike Bernard whose mind is Ford's creation implanted in the body of Arnold...That's an important distinction...
MIB clearly thinks his daughter is a host but that scene makes more sense if its the other way around...He was genuinely surprised by her correction of that elephant story, as if he wasn't expecting to hear that...That could be because he thinks she's a bot and was testing her but why freeze up like that cuz she caught your trap? Whether she answered correctly or not shouldn't result in a freeze because he's setting a trap...Maybe he wasn't expecting her to get it right but if that's the case and she did why the fukk would you abandon your daughter in the middle of nowhere with murderous bots around? It makes more sense he wasn't setting a trap and thought he had that story right, his daughter correcting him spooked him and that's why he bailed on her...
I think the game William aka MIB has been playing is finding himself...He's as unsure of what he is as we are unsure of what he is which explains why his daughter spooked him...Delos wasn't the only human host hybrid, we know that because Bernard said so and in his flashback he takes one of those host brains with him...This immortality idea was Williams conception, he's the one that introduced it to Delos...Delos was the first test subject but it makes perfect sense William had future plans for himself...It's also worth noting he keeps searching for a game Ford told him is only for the hosts...That always struck me as odd and his daughter hasn't seen him in years because he spends "too much time in the park"...
We know with Delos every time he was told he's a bot he spazzed out...What if with MIB/William, Ford took the opposite approach...Don't tell him what he is, let him loose in the park to discover it on his own...Hence the game...
This show is a mind fukk...
william been so lost in the game, he didn't even pay attention to his wife and daughter... that's been his theme since day 1.. he comes in the game, and it's the game, no time for the outside world. he'd bring his wife and kids there, but really he didn't give two fukks to learn anything about them or care to remember... he just wanted to play
now he's trying to play dad.. ford forced his outside world into the game.. now he's trying to do that and can't even tell his wife from his daughter.. his surprise was at the fact that he really didn't know shyt about her. i think this will play into him not even remembering how his wife died (goof with the slit wrist vs taking pills)..
i don't think either one is a host.. i think that whole scene was showing that william will put this game before his own child.. before her life (left her abandoned in a killer game)... before her love (threw away his last chance with her).... and about to throw away his own life (suicide by robot)
