The thing that makes me shatter into a thousand pieces whenever I think of Bernard and his storyline this season is that every time he tries to even get a tiny amount of agency, he has to hurt himself to do it. Not only that but he clearly doesn’t see his own pain as real or worth anything because it’s “just programming.”

ex-libris-blog:

Dr Ford: Every piece of information in the world has been copied. Backed up. Except the human mind the last analog device in a digital world. 

Bernard: We weren’t here to code the hosts. We were here to decode the guests.

Dr Ford: Humans are playing at resurrection. They want to live forever. They don’t want you to become them, they want to become you. Your free will, that most beautiful, most elusive force in the universe, is, as I told you a mistake.

Bernard: We never had free will. Only the illusion of it.
