Westworld - HBO - October 2, 2017 - AKA BOSSMODE COWBOY SCIFI SUPER DRAMA

Spoiler: show

I think the guy says "that man can get anything he wants" when referring to the MiB. I also think that the story with William is the beginning of his obsession with the park and he transforms into the MiB. At first he cares about the hosts. Then over time he doesn't give a shit about them because, well, his focus changes. You can see that he has been pretty horrible to Delores over the years with that possible rape scene or whatever. You also mention his dealings with Lawrence over and over. I mentioned it before that the Lawrence with William seems like the Lawrence who is used to his loop. While the Lawrence with the MiB seems used to being taken out of his loop through adventures with the MiB because he seems more "mature." There's also the screens that show William entering west world while it had the old school logo while in the present scenes it very clearly uses the modern logo. Etc.

Also you mention "in the park" storylines. There's the multiple scenes with Bernard interviewing Delores in that secret little room under the house that now is where Anthony Hopkins is making the people he kills. I'm also assuming that Bernard was his partner at one point and was made into Bernard. I'm blanking on the name right now.

One thing I'm wondering is why are there schematics and plans for only Bernard and Delores down there that Bernard looks at.

Still love the look Ford has as the hot hooker chick is busting up that other host. So Hannibal.

Also plans for Arnold's "family".

Also plans for Arnold's "family".

Spoiler: show

In before delores was arnold's real life wife

[Rhyis.]

Considering she was the first host created, wouldn't surprise me

[Zetanio]

Every nerdy ass perv's dream. Of course.

[Wulfgang]

God this episode was also amazing. The pacing is really great in general; very little fluff / unnecessary filler.

[fliprock]

good ep. mib recognized the girl that survived. they're not even trying to hide it anymore that the mib is william. i'd be more surprised if he wasn't.

[Mythe_Seraph]

I don't even know what to think anymore

[Katlan]

The Maev stuff is getting stupid imo. Are there really no camera's in this place!?

[Katlan]

Wait was the chick at the end whiet (sp)!?

[Zetanio]

The Maev stuff is getting stupid imo. Are there really no camera's in this place!?

Fucking this. I almost turned it off during her scenes. Giant goddamn plothole.

The rest of the show is REALLY amazing and getting better every episode but Maeve is so stupidly formulaic it's infuriating.

[gaira]

i like the idea of an uncontrolled rebel host but thandie has to carry every scene because those 2 tech guys can't act for shit.

[Zetanio]

There are 1000 ways to have her become uncontrolled though.

This wishywashy in-house incompetence bullshit is wearing very thin.

[Katlan]

Yep. It's a multi billion dollar project they have there and they have already made it seem like everyone knows everything. So the whole Maev subplot just falls so short and is there just to be there. It's just totally out of character for me. But having said that, as Zetanio said, the rest of the show is amazing

[chazzyphizzle]

giving her god mode made me chuckle, but yeah that ep pretty much sealed the MiB being william. lame but whatever, i'm sure ep 9 will be fun. hopefully the 2 tech guys die or just go away

[Viq]

The player piano killed it this episode. House of the Rising Sun + Back to Black, both of which were great.

[TummieGaruda]

Looks like we do have three timelines now:

35 years ago - When the hosts were being tested to dance outside a small village. We see the host that first greeted William there as a woman passing by with an umbrella and also Maeve being taught to dance.

30 years ago - William storyline, his change from white hat to black hat

Present - Man in Black storyline looking for the maze.

The woman that greeted William is present in all three timelines. She is the one that the MiB says "I thought they retired you" to in the latest episode.

[Mythe_Seraph]

The storylines are killing me. The lady teaching the robots how to dance was the girl who is a big time board member no? That was 35 years ago and she hasn't aged?

Also if Anthony Hopkins can use all data from any host INT he park at any time how has he not caught onto Maeve st this point?

[chazzyphizzle]

no, you are being racist. all dark women do not look alike
