Maeve - mild spoilers


I don't understand the control that Maeve has over Lutz and Sylvester. How is she is able to control and threaten them into doing her bidding? All they'd have to do is deactivate her and reprogram her.

Multiple choice. Pick one, or more, up to all of them:

a) pathetic writing as a weak plot driver
b) nerds got to see her naked. blood left their brains.
c) I'd guess people who keep watching (unlike me) find out they are also robots
d) everyone is a robot, all networked together
e) they are dumber than an equal square sided container filled with igneous granite.
f) there was so little else going on of interest..... why not?
g) they were using iPads and iOS was too restrictive to allow them to properly control her, or shut her down.
h) she's an "ANDROID" and can download apps to do anything, unlike iOS. (get it? "Android"? :D )

This is possibly my biggest problem with this TV show. That plot is completely unrealistic.. she never actually has the upperhand so why are they even remotely threatened?! grrr

Remember that she doesn't really have to "control" Felix Lutz, per se. He's been on her side from the get-go. Sylvester strikes me as too weak and dumb to consider opposing her, especially with Felix looking out for her.

Add to that her maxed-out intelligence, and it's not that unbelievable she'd keep them under her thumb.

Yeah, after she sliced Sylvester’s throat wide open, I’m pretty sure he’ll do anything she wants. The two techs may also be Hosts, and not know it, like Bernard. In the latest episode we learned that Delos is using Hosts as techs. We also learned there is a mesh network connecting all Hosts. Maeve might be using this network to command the two techs without them realizing it.
