WESTWORLD

Ok so I just binged the first four episodes and I'm fully caught up.

 

with that being said I'm obsessed with this show. So gripping and intriguing on so many levels. The man in black story line is easily the most interesting with William the white hat a close second. Although all the storylines are interesting in there own right .

im hesitant on giving out a theory or buying into the MiB=white hat theory. Need more content to develop a solid theory. Some twists are definitely coming but can't quite put my finger on it yet. Bernard seems to be a host to me. The way ford said his name talking to Theresa seemed to give it away IMO. Until we meet Wyatt I don't think we will have a solid grip on anything. Excited for Sunday

Another great episode tonight. Some answers but so many more questions 

[SOJA]

they're definitely teasing the two timelines theory but aren't giving any hints. Let's look at el Lazo:

The two timelines theory seems pretty dependent on the fact that william = MiB. MiB has a definite history with el Lazo and that was established with William in the most recent episode.

BUT el Lazo died in the scene with MiB right BEFORE William meets him. So it's entirely possible someone came to "clean him up" and reset el Lazo on his loop where he is always destined to be hung in some random place; meaning that MiB and William are in the same timeline.

Impossible to tell but I sure do love how cryptic they are being. This is going to be one of those shows with GREAT re-watch value once we know the answers. 

 

I think there are two timelines, and that William's company is the one who saves the park from financial fallout- hence why the MiB "gets whatever he wants"

[CarolinaCoolin]

I dont but the william = mib theory. If you listen to what MIB says about his past experiences at the park they are at odds with what William is actually going through. The biggest example of this is when MIB is talking about cutting open when of the guests and they are robots with mechanical parts. yet when watching williams timeline we see they are human like models which so that he isnt at the park when it first has opened. mib says hes been going to the park for 30 years. Arnold died 34 years ago. MIB deals with mechnical robots and William hasnt so i dont think william is MIB. I more think we are seeing william because of dolorous. she is having flash backs "remembering" the time she was close to the maze but didnt realize it. after the end of episode 5 her william and lawerance are at the back of the train car and she sees the symbol. then it switchs to her in the train by herself and she says im coming. william =/= mib.

Man, I just got caught up last night....holy poo!  I am obsessed with this show.  They do an excellent job of giving you JUST enough information to lead to a bunch of other questions.

I'm not sure I'm on board with the whole differing timelines theory.  I like it, but I'm not seeing it yet.  The William hat has a mole, and the MiB does not.    Then again, they are both business people.  So I'm not closing my own belief there.

Personally, I want to know about this maze and the buried church.  I thought it was quite telling when Ford said he would not interfere with a journey of self discovery.  He knows about the maze, and isn't scared of MiB finding out what's at the center of it.

But when Maeve woke up and wanted to have the conversation with the tech....man that's exciting!  I figure the park will collapse because of the growing sentience in the hosts.  I can't wait to find out why that's going to happen!

This show rocks.  I am loving it.  By far my favorite new TV show and Anthony Hopkins is a fugging master, Evan Rachel Wood is amazing, the dude who plays Bernard, Thandie Newton etc

It is kind of like Lost meets The Truman Show meets GoT.

I can't wait to see where it all goes

[d-dave]

So last night's episode....  Man, there was more heavy stuff thrown in there.

I strongly recommend everyone check that out.  I'll wait til later in the week before I jump into some more hard hitting commentary.  But vaguely:

The maze symbol is appearing more and more.

The hosts have started knocking the crap out of the guests a bit as we've seen the past two episodes.  They are changing, and man, that's interesting.

Please catch up folks!  I want to throw out my stupid ideas =)

Throw them out now. If you haven't seen an episode you should be smart enough to stay out of the thread.

I've been thinking for a while that Character was going to be the first real death on the show, I'm curious to see if that actually happens on the next episode

[Still Brooklyn]

Elsie? Classic cliffhanger. She'll be fine. The question is, who attacked her. My guess is Bernard.

Why would Bernard have to hide it was him? He already has her trust and walked up on her at any time and not needed to sneak up.

last night's episode sealed this as my favorite show going right now

It was good to see Yul Bryner leaning against the wall in the shadows in the back ground.

I saw that too, it was a nice nod to the movie.
