We got to spend a little more time on the inner workings of the park this week, with Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) continuing to chase down answers to questions he doesn’t want answers to and Sizemore (Simon Quarterman) crafting a brand-new storyline to satisfy Management.
Why Sizemore is written as such an indiscriminate asshole is bewildering, especially after his straight-up abuse of employees is followed by barely a mention from his supervisor Theresa Cullen (Sidse Babett Knudsen). Sizemore is typically immodest about everything so it’s clear, when he gives a big Steve Jobs-esque presentation on his “amazing” narrative, Ford (Anthony Hopkins) will shut him down. And shut him down he does.
His “reason you suck” monologue to Sizemore was well-deserved and dovetailed nicely with the themes I liked this episode, of guests using the park not to be who they are, but who they could be. The Man in Black fancies himself a supervillain but I’m almost certain he’s a paper-pusher in the real world a la Locke on Lost. William on the other hand is chasing the white rabbit of heroism. We all want to transcend our roles and be who we aspire to, for good or ill (“these violent delights have violent ends” we are yet again reminded. It’s a good quote but if this becomes an episodic thing, we might have issues).
Back to Cullen, turns out her and Lowe are sleeping together. I don’t really know what that added to the episode or the series, since neither actor has chemistry or characters we truly know and care about yet.
The actor also praised the freedom given on set.
