I found cs 50 by harvard on edx which is nice but not exactly what I was looking for . <| sep |> Assuming Elsie is dead by Bernard at Ford ' s direction , Elsie was an unknown variable that might Push Bernard outside of his Fordapproved loop Continue to investigate areas Ford doesn ' t want disturbed Be a competent coder that was a threat to Ford being able to do what he wants to host programming without oversight Have been a kill for the voices in Bernard ' s head . The way that the scene with Ford being asked if he ' s made Bernard do thing type of thing before is stitched together with the flashback of Bernard makes me think it ' s misdirection , since we are asked so often to assume things about Ford , that he is even responsible for the Reveries , as a very basic assumption . He is in a position of control and can sit quietly and take credit in the audience ' s eyes for what he will . Here ' s hoping for Elsiebotv 1 . 0 , any episode now !
