Doesn’t Ford say to Dolores something along the lines of “you were one of the few who were there when it happened”?
Another mystery popped up regarding the woodcutter who bashed his own skull, in that he had some sort of implant that was secretly sending information up to a satellite. Huh? Who might be doing that? It has to be someone in the lab.
The uncertainty of the multiple timelines give me a headache. Dolores, Teddy, Lawrence seem to pop in and out of what otherwise would be linear stories.
And what about the “groundhog day” loops? I wonder if we’ll ever see Dolores ever wake up again at the homestead. Maeve on the other hand seems to be in a pretty short loop.
If there is a barrier or a dome keeping out real wildlife, it would have to be enormous. What we’ve seen of the park and what the map on the website shows makes it look like it covers many square miles.
Logan looked like he was getting a real beat down when William refused to lend him a hand, he was also about to be chocked out by the wagon. Could it be that this is the theorized older timeline, before all the guest protection protocols were in place? I’d be a bit miffed if my dream vacation ended up with me being tied up and beaten by a band of ruffians.
Way back when, I wondered if the MiB had been a guest back in the day when things went wrong and had been repaired with RoboTech.
In the previews for the rest of the season, wasn’t that Logan in the lab, hooked up to the programming computer?
Yep, if the dual storyline theory is true (and I don’t believe it is, mind), I think it’d make far more sense for the Man in Black to be Logan than William. I can’t see William snapping and cursing at folks for bothering him on his vacation, for instance.
We don’t know what William is about to go through. Maybe his time at the park will traumatize him in some way, ultimately turning him into a “black hat.” And even if nothing happens to him… he wouldn’t be the first man to slowly turn into the kind of person he used to hate.
There’s nothing interesting about a bad guy, like Logan, who’s bad from the start; a worthwhile villain has to fall from grace.
But one thing that’s interesting about the MiB is that we don’t know he’s a bad guy. He just knows the parameters of the park and uses them. The obvious difference between Logan and MiB is that Logan’s a smarmy little jerk. Maybe the story of how he matures and begins to approach “the game” with deeper sophistication is as interesting as the cliche good guy gets damaged and becomes bad guy with tragic backstory.
I don’t know, but he’s definitely an asshole. His only purpose in the story so far has been to spout exposition and serve as a contrast to William; I really doubt he’s someone as important as the MiB. The story simply hasn’t given him enough depth.
That’s the question, isn’t it? But in any event, if he *is *William, he either fell from grace or lost his innocence. Either way, we’ll soon see how it happened.
The website is interesting. When you ask “Where is Westworld?” at discoverwestworld.com, you get the answer, “The exact location of Westworld will be revealed once a host confirms your travel. As for the size and scope of the park, discovering that yourself is half the fun.”
I suspect a gigantic space station, myself.
Ya think…?
I noticed a “Snake Wrangler” in the closing credits.
Kudos for the Asimov reference. But as far as we know, any host would protect one guest from another when a knife is drawn and threatening words are spoken.
Oh we may think that but there is no doubt Hopkins is basically a god in the park. Remember last episode he made every host within a mile radius freeze then restart with the tiniest of gestures while they were at the outdoor restaurant.
