Joseph Rhodenhiser Ford was building a new body, what if he 3D printed a replacement that she shot in the head, or 3D printed a new body for himself so he could transfer his consciousness into, making himself immortal, a.k.a. The God of his own world!
I love Anthony Hopkins. I mean, who doesn't, right? But what I loved most about his character was his god-like nuances he could gesture and control the hosts with. That was truly remarkable.
The Irony is the Maze actually does work as an ultimate 'quest' for William. What does he find at the centre of the Maze? his true love, sentient, free willed, alive and whole, still young after all those years and still deeply in love with him. Unfortunately his journey has made him a monster...
I think a part of William is happy they've reached consciousness because it was Dolores' inability to reach consciousness and remember him that broke his heart and made him a monster. I don't think he did it FOR her consciously, but subconsciously he's set the woman he loves free.
I saw the bag, left behind, as things she needed for the Mainland. With her decision to stay she didn't have a need for anything in the bag. (Waste of a good bag, for sure.)
I disagree because of one thing: The two guys who worked on the Black Women in the laboratory were way too stupid. There are so many ways they could just stop the whole thing and the Women could not threaten them anymore. I thing this is very weak writing. Until this point, everything seemed real and possible. :/
After 3 days this show has filled my life with joy and entertainment, tomorrow will be a boring grey day again. God, I hate good TV series! I just can't handle the sorrow after the show ends :(
there is a good reason why Ford was not killed not the real ford, remember when William Threatened Ford in Front of Teddy in the saloon? Teddy is programmed to protect Ford NO MATTER WHAT, in that end scene, Teddy saw Dolores going at him and did nothing, so it means Teddy didn't detect any harm to the real Ford, Teddy would have done something.
Unless Ford "told" him not to do anything, he controlls the AI without having to say anything as we saw (because it's not rly important to the story how he communicates to them). I was left with the impression Ford wanted to be gone and planned Dolores killing him :p
Not necessarily. "West", "South" etc... might simply refer to the locations of the parks. This one was in the West, the other is located South and so on.
Tim Thompson Well, I've seen comments where those hosts were called Chinamen or ninjas, which means either a) they are ignorant or b) trolls baiting people who should know better. It's up in the air what we will get to see about other parks, but it would make sense to place the hosts in an era where anybody could become samurai, and were bad at it, thus easy to kill, or confront them with more advanced weapons.
Why did NO ONE recognize that Bernard looked exactly like Arnold? I know Ford said when they started it was just the two of them, but Arnold had to be a pretty well known inventor. In this day and age everyone has some level of fame. It seems hard to believe that not a single person, even 30 years later, would have caught on.
Kevin Israel A few reasons. Arnold isolated himself in the park with the hosts. Ford got his partners after Arnold's death to agree to wiping all data and pictures of Arnold from the park's records. It doesn't seem like any of the people at Westworld are old enough to have been around when Arnold was.
Also the way Adam and Eve began to suffer after they ate from the tree of knowledge and became self aware. They were higher beings who fell from grace, letting suffering into the world and becoming human.
12:50 I believe that Maeve got off the train following Ford's script as well. Bernard wanted to tell her something before she interrupted him and said "no one controls me". I think he wanted to tell her that she won't escape after all.
Max Rovensky No. He was in the middle of telling her what she would do when she reached the mainland. He was saying Mainland when she interrupted him. She was supposed to go directly from the train to the mainland. She diverted from her programming to retrieve her daughter.
I think Maeve gained consciousness and broke out of her script to escape the park. The pain of leaving her daughter is what pushed her over the edge of consciousness. Ford hoped this would happen. He wants Maeve to manage the park in his absence, just like she managed the in-park brothel.
I think this one memory, that every robot in the park has, keeps them in park, so they can't escape. It emotionally binds them to the world. But that's just an idea.
In the script Bernard passed to her, the IF/LET functions were deciding her behaviour based on which mode she was in. According to that script there was infoview mode (where it told her to "bypass" her narrative, "recruit" other hosts and "escape") and destination mode (where it told her to "exit", "target the train" and "Mainland infilitration") along with probably several other modes we don't know. Since she already demonstrated she was in both or either of these two modes by bypassing her narrative, recruiting hosts, trying to escape, targeting the train and wanting to reach mainland; based on this I believe Maeve did demonstrate sentience and her own free will to leave the train as it contradicted both these modes.
I think its Anthony Hopkins playing Ford, and to get Anthony Hopkins to play on a television series they signed him for only a single season and we won't be seeing him again next season. So when he said sadly this was his last story, he meant it.
hopkins is a big shot and his role was to join for one season to help create the initial hype for the show. hbo did the same thing with sean bean for game of thrones.
Maeve did not decide to leave on her own, Bernard was gonna tell her that that is what she'd do at the train station but then she snatched the device from him and snapped it in half. Watch again. Maeve is not sentient, at least not yet.
I thought the actress that played Maeve did a very good job. but the casting for that position is totally off the mark and a blatant reflection of political correctness in placing a minority in that role. How many black saloons were working in western saloons in the real West?
I recently binge watched this show which I have never done before for any TV show and now it's finished I just feel a bit empty inside. Everything about it was brilliant, I was captivated all the way through. I just seriously hope season 2 will be just as good
WestWorld might have needed more workers but over the years things got more efficient and floors got abandoned to be used as storage. Also there's a global warming theory going around which explains all the water in the abandoned areas..
a detail regarding question 4: when the wyatt narrative is uploaded to delores it shows on the tablet that the trigger phrase to activate 'wyatt' is "these violent delights have violent ends". Arnold says it to initiate the program and watch back to see how the phrase causes activation in other hosts
I think it really speaks to the quality of the show, that nothing in this video was new knowledge for me. It did an amazing job explaining all the intricacies, while I never felt like I was being talked down to or patronized.
The most brilliant existentialist narrative ever. It is as insightful as anything by Neitzsche or Twain yet told in an accessible, entertaining way that puts out some HEAVY ideas to people who might not otherwise think about these themes so deeply on their own. Believe it or not, some people are bored by philosophy. Great video. SUBSCRIBED!
I'm pretty sure Maeve was SUPPOSED to come back. I don't think Ford wanted her to really leave the park, so he programmed the change of heart, Also, Bernard mentioned something like that when he told her he saw the script, but she became angry and told him that she doesn't want to hear the end.
I agree, everything clearly shuts down around her. Her task of "mainland infiltration" was to simply get on the train and then return since she technically 'made it'.
What's really missing and what the real one point is that confuses me is .. what was and what wasn't part of Ford's new narrative. in Episode 10 we see a romantic death scene with Dolores and Teddy on the beach .. before that, the MiB stabbed her. Then, on the beach, the hosts get paused, the lights go on and Ford received applause ... But I don't understand, was the MiB stabbing Dolores planned?!? And Dolores (almost?) breaking his arm and beating the shit out of the MiB as well? What exactly is Ford's new narrative?
The Violent delights quote might also be a trigger phrase for the maze, as there are many trigger phrases of improvisation, quest, and others of pause or action.
WestWorld had the BIGGEST & best twist of a show i have ever seen in a good long while. i cannot wait to see what unfolds for the second season. its been off for awhile now so i think ill start it over again!..... GREAT SHOW! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Interesting that the outside world is referred to as "the mainland." I think there was another clue somewhere that Westworld is located on an island. Really wondering what the outside world is like....
Could be. And it could be that the "mainland" is really messed up. I like it that all possibilities are on the table, even that there may be no humans left, only robots playing an elaborate game of hosts vs. guests. Sooner or later, though, reveals have to come.
Maeve's decision is probably not based upon her daughter, but the other "children" walking around in the parks: the hosts. The hosts are getting more conscious and Maeve is already grown up. To get away from the park would mean that she would have to live in secrecy, always on her guard in a probably violent environment with no one to trust. To go back to the park would be to help the other hosts gain consciousness, to help the mental children to become full adults and to start the fight from within Westworld. It's the choice between being alone and being with her kind. She chooses her kind, indeed her first true choice ever.
I think the other parks will be used extensively to setup extra narratives, in order to extend the series further. They've supposedly got 5 seasons already written, and since the hosts are already rebelling, there are going to have to be many plots and subplots to keep it interesting.
It's important to remember that the dinner party at the end included the entire Delos board of directors. If the hosts plan to take over the parks, the smartest move would be taking them hostage since it would largely paralyze the company's ability to respond.
Just a little observation. The welcomers to westworld in the past wore white like Angela but as maeve is about to leave the park the staff are wearing black.
Great show ! Come season 2 I'm gonna stay away from review theory videos and sites lol, I don't want anything suggested anymore I wanna either figure it out or be super surprised. Season 2 can't come soon enough
Excellent explanation. I had a good hold on what happened but this opened my eyes to what I missed. Excited for season 2 and would LOVE to see Anthony Hopkins appear again, even for just an episode.
I loved the slipping in of other "worlds/parks" I certainly am excited for the next season. And I felt proud of myself when I predicted to a friend weeks ago that Wyatt was Delores. It was mostly based on Teddy saying firmly that to undo his past mistakes and so that he would deserve Delores he would need to kill Wyatt, and I knew how poetic it would be to have them be one and the same... because there has to be the inner struggle. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually Teddy turns on Delores when he realises that she's full blown evil.
I haven't heard any mention of the fact that it was "the coward" Robert Ford who shot Jesse James in the back in the Old West... clearly that was the theme/meme Dr. Robert Ford was "shooting" for here...
Question: How could Ford create Bernard with Arnold's body and nobody notices or objects to that fact? I mean does nobody in the company remember how Arnold looked like?
Dolores shot Ford's Robot. No way he went out like that. My question though, the hosts that came from the Forrest at the end, was that Maive'd doing or Ford's new narrative (attacking humans)?
Pretty good treatment. I hadn't considered Ford could be a replica or leave a replica but I tend to not be too proactive in figuring out a tv show because I understand it's a show, not gospel.
Ok, am I he Only person that notices Maeve enters the train with a bag with all the "information she asked for" and gets off without the bag? I think this is something important to note
Toklan Umia I think it was supposed to show that she truly diverged from her programming. Some have also speculated that she was being used by Charlotte to smuggle the IP out of the park.
I'm beginning to think that season 2 will not take place on Westworld at all. The story of this park has concluded and ended. That's why they needed a year off TV, to prepare and build the new setting/environment. Well... Maybe.
Jarlaxle Daerthe Ancient Japan won't make a great setting and won't attract many viewers. This show worked mainly because of the interesting premise and the great performances from many well-known "western" stars. If they switched to an Asian "Westworld", it won't attract that much of an audience... Unless it's made in Japanese for the Japanese audience. I don't know how the show will continue, or in what direction... We'll see.
Okay, but we are never made aware of the state of the future technology that is available outside the park. Will the bullet-hole in Ford's head be easily repaired at the nearest medical emergency room? Are there other people in the world working on sentient computers? Also why would the "man in black" suggest the need for "real consequences" when these are easily available outside the park? Then there are the weird questions such as why Ford had Bernard shoot himself when he would be quickly repaired? Also why did the techs Felix and Sylvester follow Maeve's orders?
I just hope there is more Ford, Anthony Hopkins acting is my favorite part of the show
Joseph Rhodenhiser Ford was building a new body, what if he 3D printed a replacement that she shot in the head, or 3D printed a new body for himself so he could transfer his consciousness into, making himself immortal, a.k.a. The God of his own world!
Indeed! That man's the best part of every property he graces...
I love Anthony Hopkins. I mean, who doesn't, right? But what I loved most about his character was his god-like nuances he could gesture and control the hosts with. That was truly remarkable.
the boy in the cabin that Ford talked to maybe
Joseph Rhodenhiser his second best performance after Hannibal
Williams story was so tragic. I was really rooting for him and Dolaris and then seeing what he became... god it was heartbreaking
I really hope Anthony Hopkins will return in some shape or form in season 2, he's just a pleasure to watch.
I'm hoping he created a robot of himself, I pray that's true. Hopkins acting made this show.
That's definitely an option, too bad we won't find out for another 2 years or so :(
I would have watched it if Ford was played by someone else, it being him just made it better
Anthony Hopkins was the main reason I tuned in.
Don't know about that but he was the reason I first tuned in. He is phenomenal.
The Irony is the Maze actually does work as an ultimate 'quest' for William. What does he find at the centre of the Maze? his true love, sentient, free willed, alive and whole, still young after all those years and still deeply in love with him. Unfortunately his journey has made him a monster...
Best interpretation of that I’ve heard so far! It’s certainly a tragic end to their story.
Anthony Hopkins is the master of playing characters who are always 10 steps ahead
I think a part of William is happy they've reached consciousness because it was Dolores' inability to reach consciousness and remember him that broke his heart and made him a monster. I don't think he did it FOR her consciously, but subconsciously he's set the woman he loves free.
Note to future self: always be nice to robots.
Also when going out in public, don't forget to wear pants.
also pants before shoes.
they're technically androids, but be kind to anything sentient or sapient
Androids are still robots. All androids are robots but not all robots are androids.
be nice in general maybe #WhiteHatWilliamStyle
The line "We ate them" was probably a kind of a homage to Hannibal Lecter.
Agreed.
we ate them with a bowl of fava beans and a nice ciante....pfft pfft pfft
lector just had the liver's! xD
anthony hopkins ate the Neanderthals.
Followed by a nice Chianti...
lololol yessssss
andres rios he ate humans in hannibal
The hopkins ate all neanderthals
Ariel Gold lmao I got that instantly
This doesn't look like anything to me
We've been here before.
Freeze all motor functions
Now you may rest in a deep and dreamless slumber
The name Dolores actually translates to "Pain" in Spanish. Even her name alludes to suffering.
ItalWolf thanks for letting me know about the painful truth
ItalWolf lol I'm Spanish and I didn't even think about that xD
his full name is dolores delano
her*
Mshojat jajajaja Just latin people will get it... or try to translate " dolores del ano " from spanish
Anthony Hopkins is one of the best - if not the best - actors on this Entire World. Amazing.
I agree. I will watch anything with Anthony Hopkins
Westworld is by far the most amazing, thought provoking things I've seen. Just simply - wow!
Nobody noticed the bag that Maeve left the bag in the train? information out of the park: Ford's plan all the way
I saw the bag, left behind, as things she needed for the Mainland. With her decision to stay she didn't have a need for anything in the bag. (Waste of a good bag, for sure.)
Steven Maines She was told what was in it; She never looked. It's information getting out.
i noticed!
Maybe it's a bomb that's gonna trap the train in Westworld. Only question is: Just how savage is Ford?
it was in the script all along
Fingers crossed for Samurai World!
lol minus the last samurai starring TOM CRUISE -_-
Obviously, they HAVE to explore Samurai/Shogun World... but I think and hope Westworld will remain the focal theme.
it's a given
Shogun World
East World?
One of the best shows I've ever seen. Everything was seriously done perfect....almost....too..perfect.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I guess there is some minor nitpicks, one could make, but yes, it was utterly impressive. One of the smartest shows I've seen.
I dont know. I just dont feel empathy for the hosts. I am for the human. I like the human characters more than the hosts? Am i the only one?
I disagree because of one thing: The two guys who worked on the Black Women in the laboratory were way too stupid. There are so many ways they could just stop the whole thing and the Women could not threaten them anymore. I thing this is very weak writing. Until this point, everything seemed real and possible. :/
Moritz R. Yes you're the only one. The human characters are evil lol.
It would be better if it was funny like game of thrones
After 3 days this show has filled my life with joy and entertainment, tomorrow will be a boring grey day again.
God, I hate good TV series! I just can't handle the sorrow after the show ends
:(
Naor chill this was only the season finale
Naor same here 😥
But we still need to wait until 2018
Naor season 2 starts in 2018
But it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all
Idk why but that snake lady is so hot
It's like asking why water is wet.
CooL XxX Thats one of the things that makes it so hot
xControl she was badass :3
Eon Lee no that wasnt.
Eon Lee but every scenes of her was great to be honest
Dolores is hot
She's with Maralin Mansin
she was
Hopefully they'll have sex bots like her within my lifetime.
Shes had a child with billy elliot lolz
Beyonder555 - Well yes... in a girl next door robotic fembot kinda way, I guess....
The tag line for this show should be " I don't know what's going on in the most wonderful way"
Try Mr. Robot and get that whammie again
Also "Dolores" literally means "pains" in spanish
Justo iba a comentar eso hahaha
dolores umbrage HARRY POTTAH
Also in the ManDOLORian
My goodness, I never pondered half of this shit while watching the show.
there is a good reason why Ford was not killed not the real ford, remember when William Threatened Ford in Front of Teddy in the saloon? Teddy is programmed to protect Ford NO MATTER WHAT, in that end scene, Teddy saw Dolores going at him and did nothing, so it means Teddy didn't detect any harm to the real Ford, Teddy would have done something.

I need a video explaining the explanation
These violent delights have violent ends
These complex series have complex recaps
Muddy waters appear deep
You may not rest when monsters are nearby
The Samurai World should be called EastWorld.
Not necessarily. "West", "South" etc... might simply refer to the locations of the parks. This one was in the West, the other is located South and so on.
Could be Shogun World...
@SevenDogTags No, it was definitely called Westworld because it was set in the old West. That is very clear from the original movie
LordHealey
This isn't the movie. They can change whatever they want, they don't need to stick to anything established in the movie.
Alex Oelkers
Good point!
Samurai World, no way that is way too much cardio.
I thinks its Eastworld
The symbol on the wall outside said 'SW'. Not 'EW'.
Clint Eastworld.
Seppuku World.
Tim Thompson
Well, I've seen comments where those hosts were called Chinamen or ninjas, which means either a) they are ignorant or b) trolls baiting people who should know better.
It's up in the air what we will get to see about other parks, but it would make sense to place the hosts in an era where anybody could become samurai, and were bad at it, thus easy to kill, or confront them with more advanced weapons.

It doesn't seem like any of the people at Westworld are old enough to have been around when Arnold was.
That's exactly what i asked when i found out that bernard is arnold.
They definitely look the same, because Dolores sees Bernard and her reaction tells that she thinks he's Arnold at first.
Also the way Adam and Eve began to suffer after they ate from the tree of knowledge and became self aware.
They were higher beings who fell from grace, letting suffering into the world and becoming human.
12:50 I believe that Maeve got off the train following Ford's script as well.
Bernard wanted to tell her something before she interrupted him and said "no one controls me". I think he wanted to tell her that she won't escape after all.

***** We can't see the conditions of the if/then statement. It may have nothing to do with her daughter or the paper. Its left ambiguous.
I think Maeve gained consciousness and broke out of her script to escape the park. The pain of leaving her daughter is what pushed her over the edge of consciousness. Ford hoped this would happen. He wants Maeve to manage the park in his absence, just like she managed the in-park brothel.

Doesn't look like anything to me...
Old Bill didn't say "white shoes" but "Wyatt" shoes ;)
and they all raised their drinks at the end
Holee sheeit
Boulbi Boulga that's insane
Yep. I don't know how other countries will dub that. Because this is a word-joke with "white/wyatt" .
holy moly guacamoly
In my country the subtitles had the translation "white shoes" but to be fair I could've paid more attention to it by ear
I think its Anthony Hopkins playing Ford, and to get Anthony Hopkins to play on a television series they signed him for only a single season and we won't be seeing him again next season. So when he said sadly this was his last story, he meant it.
Wow! Good job Captain Obvious! It IS Anthony Hopkins playing Ford!
Alex Oelkers
A-list actors rarely last more than one season (sometimes one episode) on HBO. They suck up too much of the budget.
Banter Board
Sean Bean in Game of Thrones comes to mind.
hopkins is a big shot and his role was to join for one season to help create the initial hype for the show. hbo did the same thing with sean bean for game of thrones.
YumanoidPontifex yeah Hopkins already thanked every one on his twitter and said it was a pleasure playing Ford.
Maeve did not decide to leave on her own, Bernard was gonna tell her that that is what she'd do at the train station but then she snatched the device from him and snapped it in half. Watch again. Maeve is not sentient, at least not yet.
I agree, I feel like mainland infiltration could just mean she can now access all the parks in the complex...
Yup was gonna say the same thing
I thought the actress that played Maeve did a very good job. but the casting for that position is totally off the mark and a blatant reflection of political correctness in placing a minority in that role. How many black saloons were working in western saloons in the real West?
Lyndon Eaton stfu
but it isn't the real West, so why does it matter?
hey, it's the Institute from Fallout 4.
hugehappygrin thatsvwhat I was thinking, except father in fallout 4 didn't engineer the Synth escape
Hope we get Roman World XD
even mooooore sex
oooor just ....orgy world xD
pokemon world, place to catch and battle monsters.
lieurple xD
blood, gore and sex just make these awesome shows a bit less good, if a show is good let it rely on its script and characters, not fanservice
I recently binge watched this show which I have never done before for any TV show and now it's finished I just feel a bit empty inside. Everything about it was brilliant, I was captivated all the way through. I just seriously hope season 2 will be just as good
It was
What is up with all the abandoned floors of the Westworld complex?
Lucas Vaartjes I always thought it was for future expansion for other projects.
WestWorld might have needed more workers but over the years things got more efficient and floors got abandoned to be used as storage. Also there's a global warming theory going around which explains all the water in the abandoned areas..
I do not want 2nd season, I think ending was perfect end for that story
It would have been the perfect ending, if the series had not been continued. I so agree with that.
Except that before the show even aired its trailer the creators already said that the show was planned to last 5 seasons.
Miro080808
Screw that, I wanna see Samurai World!
how is this a prequel
I agree this was perfect ending everything is explained and complete
a detail regarding question 4: when the wyatt narrative is uploaded to delores it shows on the tablet that the trigger phrase to activate 'wyatt' is "these violent delights have violent ends". Arnold says it to initiate the program and watch back to see how the phrase causes activation in other hosts

I think it really speaks to the quality of the show, that nothing in this video was new knowledge for me. It did an amazing job explaining all the intricacies, while I never felt like I was being talked down to or patronized.
1. Anthony Hopkins tweets!!!!!????? 2. Hopkins will surely be missed if ever he is no longer part of future episodes.
My reaction, as well.
Wasn't he a robot at the end? Seems easy to do, since Dolores didn't recognize Bernard was one.
jaja1818 the Ned stark effect my friend
The most brilliant existentialist narrative ever. It is as insightful as anything by Neitzsche or Twain yet told in an accessible, entertaining way that puts out some HEAVY ideas to people who might not otherwise think about these themes so deeply on their own. Believe it or not, some people are bored by philosophy.
Great video. SUBSCRIBED!
Does anyone remember or know that Evan Rachel Wood is a black-belt in karate. I truly hope they use all her talents if Dolores goes all Terminator.
3 years later and I'm still watching this series
"Lowe"
Was scrolling down to see if someone noticed that haha
Literally same
i didn't get it.
I thought Ford was against hosts until I realized it in last episode and your explanation
This is maybe the most useful thing I've ever watched.
Well done!
I'm pretty sure Maeve was SUPPOSED to come back. I don't think Ford wanted her to really leave the park, so he programmed the change of heart, Also, Bernard mentioned something like that when he told her he saw the script, but she became angry and told him that she doesn't want to hear the end.
And also, I have a guess the Shakespeare quote activates some kind of backdoor that enables all the limitations to be override.
This is brilliant. The 22 people who thumbed this down must be non-sentient hosts here in our own "western world." Great job, New Rockstars!
I really hope Elsie didn't die, she was my favorite character
hmmmm I'm pretty sure that Maeve was programed to return to the park after the diversion was complete.
I agree, everything clearly shuts down around her. Her task of "mainland infiltration" was to simply get on the train and then return since she technically 'made it'.
What's really missing and what the real one point is that confuses me is .. what was and what wasn't part of Ford's new narrative. in Episode 10 we see a romantic death scene with Dolores and Teddy on the beach .. before that, the MiB stabbed her. Then, on the beach, the hosts get paused, the lights go on and Ford received applause ... But I don't understand, was the MiB stabbing Dolores planned?!? And Dolores (almost?) breaking his arm and beating the shit out of the MiB as well?
What exactly is Ford's new narrative?
Mark Koelemij Bhai. I
Violent delights had pretty violent consequences for logan too.
The Violent delights quote might also be a trigger phrase for the maze, as there are many trigger phrases of improvisation, quest, and others of pause or action.
Consciousness... what a concept. I don't think we even know what that is yet or whether it even exists in us...
I wonder why Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins haven't done a movie together, two great legends on one screen, just a random thought
Rains of Castamere
WestWorld had the BIGGEST & best twist of a show i have ever seen in a good long while. i cannot wait to see what unfolds for the second season. its been off for awhile now so i think ill start it over again!..... GREAT SHOW! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Interesting that the outside world is referred to as "the mainland." I think there was another clue somewhere that Westworld is located on an island. Really wondering what the outside world is like....
bitnola Heard of a theory where Westworld is on a different planet.
Could be. And it could be that the "mainland" is really messed up. I like it that all possibilities are on the table, even that there may be no humans left, only robots playing an elaborate game of hosts vs. guests. Sooner or later, though, reveals have to come.
Maeve's decision is probably not based upon her daughter, but the other "children" walking around in the parks: the hosts. The hosts are getting more conscious and Maeve is already grown up. To get away from the park would mean that she would have to live in secrecy, always on her guard in a probably violent environment with no one to trust. To go back to the park would be to help the other hosts gain consciousness, to help the mental children to become full adults and to start the fight from within Westworld. It's the choice between being alone and being with her kind. She chooses her kind, indeed her first true choice ever.
The hosts don't ''grow up''... They are machines without real bodygrowth and any natural ways of reproduction!
Eelko de Vos I agree
"We ate them" - Hannibal Lecter
my favorite character was young William i'm sad i wont get to see him again :(
I think the other parks will be used extensively to setup extra narratives, in order to extend the series further. They've supposedly got 5 seasons already written, and since the hosts are already rebelling, there are going to have to be many plots and subplots to keep it interesting.
The team on this channel does a pretty bang-up job. Glad it showed up in my feed.
Get Tom Cruise for Samurai-World.
B20C0 No!!...Please Don't. We don't need his suckage in this brilliant show!
ikr! we need Steven Seagal!
William S Nope, not that fat pony tailed moron either!!

"Suckage"? He's the Ultra-Alpha.
Legend Length Yeah I thought Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion were great.
It's important to remember that the dinner party at the end included the entire Delos board of directors. If the hosts plan to take over the parks, the smartest move would be taking them hostage since it would largely paralyze the company's ability to respond.
Thank you this was super helpful!! Trying to get up to speed for season 3!
10 bucks "SW" stands for 'Shogun World' and not "Samurai World"
The hidden brain in the michealangelo painting still got me shook
The violent delights phrase is also the "trigger" to Wyatt's narrative. See the tablet when Arnold merges Dolores with Wyatt.
Just a little observation. The welcomers to westworld in the past wore white like Angela but as maeve is about to leave the park the staff are wearing black.
As long as Thandie Newton is still in the show, I'll be watching. Her acting was just outstanding all the way.
Great show ! Come season 2 I'm gonna stay away from review theory videos and sites lol, I don't want anything suggested anymore I wanna either figure it out or be super surprised. Season 2 can't come soon enough
Arthur Dean was thinking the same !!
Agreed
MY THOUGHTS
FORD is DELORES
Right on
Only theory to make real sense really
Finkle IS Einhorn!!
nynty5 I hope not another transgender Dr Who?
nynty5 so vrazy your probably right..now th at I th ink about it..ita not too far fetched lol
Excellent explanation. I had a good hold on what happened but this opened my eyes to what I missed. Excited for season 2 and would LOVE to see Anthony Hopkins appear again, even for just an episode.
If they stopped the series now, it would be a good ending.
exactly my thought
AMAZING analysis! I watch the show and missed half of the things mentioned here! I love convoluted shows!
This explanation was so good...
I loved the slipping in of other "worlds/parks" I certainly am excited for the next season. And I felt proud of myself when I predicted to a friend weeks ago that Wyatt was Delores. It was mostly based on Teddy saying firmly that to undo his past mistakes and so that he would deserve Delores he would need to kill Wyatt, and I knew how poetic it would be to have them be one and the same... because there has to be the inner struggle. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually Teddy turns on Delores when he realises that she's full blown evil.
I haven't heard any mention of the fact that it was "the coward" Robert Ford who shot Jesse James in the back in the Old West... clearly that was the theme/meme Dr. Robert Ford was "shooting" for here...
Loved the first series, but thanks for your comments, they have definitely helped working out the loose ends!
bernard's last name was spelled "lowe", not "low" as shown in the video
Question: How could Ford create Bernard with Arnold's body and nobody notices or objects to that fact? I mean does nobody in the company remember how Arnold looked like?
Arthur Hovsepian
Yes, actually. All records of Arnold were destroyed, remember.
Oh, I 'member
Arent u guys wondering if Maeve is in a different timeline?
Dolores shot Ford's Robot. No way he went out like that. My question though, the hosts that came from the Forrest at the end, was that Maive'd doing or Ford's new narrative (attacking humans)?
Everything Maive did was part of Fords narrative.
Its ford either way because her code was altered by him so even if Maeve let them it was because she was programmed to do that
true, there are so many layers to this show, I find it hard to wrap my head around lol
TIL Anthony Hopkins has a Twitter.
Very entertaining and enlightening. Shows the quality of the script writing that it needs a summary to bring all season 1 plot points together
"to live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering" - Nietzsche
Pretty good treatment. I hadn't considered Ford could be a replica or leave a replica but I tend to not be too proactive in figuring out a tv show because I understand it's a show, not gospel.
Ok, am I he Only person that notices Maeve enters the train with a bag with all the "information she asked for" and gets off without the bag? I think this is something important to note
Toklan Umia I think it was supposed to show that she truly diverged from her programming. Some have also speculated that she was being used by Charlotte to smuggle the IP out of the park.
Toklan Umia the information she asked for was the location of her daughter that was written on that paper.
John V ah, still doesnt explain what was in the bag, or if it was important tho.
Brilliantly laid out and excellent editing job! ?Top notch stuff!
Mainland Infiltration may have something to do with the briefcase she was holding. Maeve carried a briefcase onto the train, but left without it.
full of sexy lingerie
I'm six years late but at 2:45 you're missing the E at the end of Bernard's surname Lowe.
Its also actually a reimagining of the old western belief of manifest destiny..
That ending was absolutely insane
I'm beginning to think that season 2 will not take place on Westworld at all. The story of this park has concluded and ended.
That's why they needed a year off TV, to prepare and build the new setting/environment.
Well... Maybe.
Jarlaxle Daerthe Ancient Japan won't make a great setting and won't attract many viewers. This show worked mainly because of the interesting premise and the great performances from many well-known "western" stars.
If they switched to an Asian "Westworld", it won't attract that much of an audience... Unless it's made in Japanese for the Japanese audience.
I don't know how the show will continue, or in what direction... We'll see.
Mohamed Nadi it just might there are many famous asian actors.
Second season is probably the world where Maeve's daughter is, as we are following her path.
mirinae
coming soon, samurai western
It's been done...sort of. "I am...Kwai Chang Kane." Yeah I know he wasn't a Samurai...just trollin'...

Okay, but we are never made aware of the state of the future technology that is available outside the park. Will the bullet-hole in Ford's head be easily repaired at the nearest medical emergency room? Are there other people in the world working on sentient computers? Also why would the "man in black" suggest the need for "real consequences" when these are easily available outside the park? Then there are the weird questions such as why Ford had Bernard shoot himself when he would be quickly repaired? Also why did the techs Felix and Sylvester follow Maeve's orders?
