The most recent episodes was one of my favorites thus far. Great all around. When Bernard went down to the old facilities, that alternate logo was next to the login screen... Definitely starting to look like William and Logan are in the past.

There's some creepy stuff going on down in the lower level. The thing is....the Dad that Walter ran into that he called 'Arnold' looks identical to the picture of Arnold that Ford shared with him. So Ford is lying about something. Either that wasn't a picture of Arnold, or he's fabricating the entire Arnold backstory??

Definitely the same guy.



I don't think Ford is "lying". I'm starting to think he's a host who believes he's a human creating these fake beings. The entire intro of the show is dedicated to the idea of artificial life creating more artificial life, and I think that might be exactly what we're seeing.

I don't know what to think about Arnold. Unless Arnold is Ford's father, that's not him in that photograph. Though, I don't think Ford specifically said that was Arnold. We may have just inferred it based on the conversation being had at the time. I bet we find out that Arnold exists in all things within westworld. He uploaded himself into the world and has hard coded himself every host, and he can hop between them and do whatever he chooses.

Interesting theory on Ford. It very well could be he's AI. Certainly there's more than meets the eye with him as his behavior is very suspect.



There's an interesting theory out there that Ford updated Teddy when he and the MIB met at the cantina to be an 'adversary' to the MIB (that was the name of the episode) and that Teddy is trying to lead the MIB away from the maze. The MIB did ask Ford if he's finally created and adversary worthy of him....meaning Wyatt, but....what if it is Teddy in almost an undercover role?

Saw a new theory today that the Westworld show is in some way a sequel to the original film.  Interesting.  Especially since the original Yul Brynner character from the original was, in fact, briefly glimpsed on the most recent episode.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Will anything in this show be potentially spoiled by watching the movie? I really want to see it.

I don't think so.  After all, it's been out since the 70s.

Yeah I know. I just wasn't sure what the similarities were outside of the overarching concept of the park. If we find out at the end of the movie who Arnold is or what the maze is, I have no desire to watch it until the show wraps up.

I think the series is a re-imagining or even a sequel to the movie. I could swear I could see Yul Brynner's silhouette in the background in one of the scenes of the last episode.

You did. And it was intentional. Question is was it just a 'shout out' or nod to the original show or a clue as to if we are seeing a direct sequel

No, I seriously don't think the movie holds any spoilers. I'd have to think back pretty far for this, but I just remember it being pretty damn slow. As a reference point it's pretty interesting though.

It's a nod, nothing more. Nolan and Joy do a weekly interview with EW following each episode and Nolan explicitly states this.

Got back to the US last night where I could finally watch my HBO and really really liked that episode.  Definitely got a lot more story into whats going on with the people working at Westworld.  That whole sequence where Maeve watches the computer as she "thinks" and it gets hung was awesome.  Then of course the insight into Ford and his old robot family in the park... and yea something is not right with him, some good theories there.

Definitely a cool end to this week's episode. I can't say I was shocked per se, I'd heard that theory bandied about a while back and then I took some of the earlier scenes in the episode to be intentional misdirection.

Happy that it got renewed for a 2nd season, if it's true that they're coming back in 2018 then it's going to be a long fricking wait.

Very cool episode. Ford is so many steps ahead of everyone. I keep thinking that he will slip up somehow but he remains unstoppable.

Well, roll me over and fuck me sideways. Best episodes of the series so far. Hands down. That final five minutes opened up so many possibilities. Who knows how many people on the inside Ford has doing his bidding.

If you go here https://discoverwestworld.com/# and read 6B in the Terms of Delos Destinations....

"once you enter Westword, the company controls the rights to and remains the sole owner of, in perpetuity: all skin cells, bodily fluids, secretions, excretions, hair samples, saliva, sweat, blood, and any other bodily functions not listed here. What’s more, it reserves the right to use this property in any way, shape, or form in which the entity sees fit.

If I were a betting man, I would say that Ford got saliva or vaginal juices from Theresa off of Bernard after one of their sexual encounters. That host that was printing in Ford's basement lab after Bernard killed Theresa is going to be a copy of Theresa. She'll go back to doing her thing and no one that works at or for Westworld will notice. Ford said he needed a blood sacrifice. He's probably going to use real Theresa's blood in the host so she can still pass any kind of biometric security Westworld is likely to have. And Bernard made a comment a few episodes back to Theresa about  the specific ways her faced moved when she was angry and trying not to show it. Ford is getting info on every little nuance she has in preparation for her replacement.

Also, Hector being a sex slave to humans overseeing Westworld is an awesome way to hear all kinds of 'closed door' conversations, just like the one we saw. Fucking genius.

One thing I'm still a little confused on, why do the workers sometimes wear suits when entering the world and sometimes not? When they froze the park mid-day in the most recent episode, the employees were dressed head to toe in those suits when they removed Clementine. Also, just occurred to me that just prior to that, she said something like "get out of the desert and go some place cold". My guess is cold storage isn't what she had in mind. And to piggyback this scene a bit, Mauve didn't freeze when all the other hosts did. Strange.

I thought the same thing, that Ford is creating a Theresa host. Which like you mention Brian, leaves to question how many employees are actually hosts that Ford has swapped out?

He might be a mirror image of him.
