Those last pictures of the jellofish that he made had me in fucking stitches <| sep |> Alright you little shit <| sep |> Again , I completely agree with you , x 263 x ! I was just about going to post something about this . The top of the pyramid is the ability to perceive time . That ' s why the show is presenting its story in this highly convoluted fashion . When Dolores will be able to sort the past and the present , she will be human . For the MIB , his experience in the park is ultimately meaningless because he can restart all over when he fails . The videogame analogy is at play here again imagine how more immersive , how more real , games would feel if , when you would die in the game , you couldn ' t play it anymore and the game was really over . These are the higher stakes the MIB is seeking . There is no past for a machine , everything is in the present . Interestingly , Nolan has already kinda treated that idea in Person of Interest . The Super AI wakes up at one time and confuses all the time periods , wondering WHEN she is having the conversation with Harold .
