^ Then why aren't people distinguishing the two theories as such?
...So, since you haven't read people saying they think there are multiple timelines but William isn't the Man in Black, there can't be multiple timelines without William being the Man in Black?
That's easy enough to fix.
I'm 95% certain there are multiple timelines based on this last episode.
I'm 66% certain William is the MiB.
There, theories differentiated

They have used different music, but always beautifully done, each time they have shown the Hector/Armistice saloon heist sequence. The best one was using Rolling Stone's Paint it Black in the first episode. The music the other 2 times (one was last night's episode) were familiar too but I didn't recognize them.
There was a brief flash where Bernard had his arm wrapped around her neck. Doesn't necessarily mean she's dead.
It was a quick flash. Ford goes to wipe Bernard's memory and before he does Bernard asks if can ask one question. Ford agrees, Bernard asks if Ford has ever made him hurt anyone else like Theresa. Ford pauses, says "No" and as he starts the wipe Bernard flashes to choking Elsie. You don't see her corpse so it's possible she's still alive but since Theresa is confirmed dead and Elsie is "on leave" to possible the new host Ford is making is her replacement.
Well looks like the William/MiB theory is pretty certain now given Angela showed up. Of course I guess MiB could still be Logan for all we know, that would be a nice double bluff.
Loved the piano version of Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, that was fab. I haven't recognised all of them but agree it'd be good to have an album of them all.
Dang so Elsie is dead then? I'm guessing those guys in the hazmat suits are in for an unpleasant surprise with regard to Maeve as well. Her slicing Sebastian's neck then getting Felix was save him was cold, but if you suddenly discovered your whole life was a lie I guess you wouldn't really care about the humans. So what's the betting on who began her path to sentience (or possibly supposed sentience) Ford? Arnold? MiB? Bernard? I'm kinda hoping Bernard goes all Yul Brynner on Ford now...
Are there 2 episodes left?

I was grinning all the way through it, quite emotional, Maeve is fascinating..
No way! He'd never do anything like that. He stands by his earlier comments. There have been and never will be any clues about "either" theory, and anyone who came up with it or have seen these imaginary clues simply "got lucky."
The producers/actors told him so. Thus, fact.
Because that's what a timeline is; a linear representation of events in the order in which they occurred. We're seeing them in different orders. Hence, different timelines.
Different time frames sounds more accurate to me. Do we call the flashbacks in shows like Lost and Arrow different timelines? Everything is happening at different points in a single timeline so its not multiple timelines. Buy the end of the season/show we should have a clear picture of the timeline. Just because the story isn't linear dosn't mean there are multiple timelines, just multiple plotlines and time frames.
That's nice. But "timelines" is the correct word nonetheless. Your personal preferences notwithstanding.
Explain why it's correct.
time·line
(tīm′līn′)
n.
1. A schedule of activities or events; a timetable.
2.
a. A chronology.
b. A representation or exhibit of key events within a particular historical period, often consisting of illustrative visual material accompanied by written commentary, arranged chronologically.

We are following two / three full plots in parallel separated by years. That they occur in the same universe doesn't mean they aren't "timelines". Being sequential events doesn't mean they aren't timelines. Otherwise you couldn't say "Here's a timeline of WW1 and here's a timeline of WW2. " since one follows the other.
It was quick, I caught the scene when I watched but still didn't realize it was Elsie until reading online.
Not sure 1b works with what being presented. Fiction doesn't have to follow a timeline chronologically. It can drop in at any point of a timeline as suits the story. It's not a history text.
I already did by giving the definition of the word, as did the poster who followed. Again: Your personal preference (or intentional ignorance in this case) doesn't really apply; "timeline" is being used correctly.
Note, too, the lack of the word "alternate" in front of it. That's probably what's confusing you. These aren't alternate timelines, just different timelines.
