Sure didn't take long for MIB's right arm to heal up, seeing how Delores either broke it or dislocated it less than 24 hours before he made his appearance in S2 E1. Guess the writers thought surviving the robot apocalypse with only one usable arm would be a little far fetched. View Quote |

After rewatching I am 110% on board the "Delos knows Bernard is a host" theory. He's just in a loop of his own and Delos are letting him complete it so they can find out what the hell happened and gather intel. He's been missing for 2 weeks with murderous robots slaughtering everyone in sight, shows up out of nowhere apparently unharmed on the beach, no one offers him medical aid or food/water, no one asks how he is doing how he got there how he survived or if he knows where any other survivors are, they only ask whats wrong with the hosts whats happening with the code, Bernard finishes that other guys sentence like he had heard it before, the one security lady is acting funny and cautious around him like she obviously doesn't trust him. In the scene where he wakes up on the beach there are people walking around in the background, no one bothered to check on this guy if he was ok until he randomly sat up?

I wasn't impressed with first episode either.
I'm not into the "Lost" type of series. Last season was good in many ways. |

I'm not sure that's true. They must be partially organic. Click To View Spoiler Remember one of the first episodes, Maeve is in the shop. "She has some physical discomfort, have them do a full physical at her next rotation." And later. "Found it, fucking animals. MRSA in her lower abdomen." Or something like that.

In all of the production scenes it looks like polymer. |

Quoted: Oh yeah... But what organic material would they be using to 3D print hosts? In all of the production scenes it looks like polymer. View Quote I think at this point we should just go with the "more human than human" trope and assume the Hosts are physically human in every way that matters, except for the brain. |

just so i'm clear, what is considered a spoiler in this thread?
i assume anything we talk about on a current episode is GTG. but are theories read about considered spoilers? are our own theories considered spoilers? i personally hate when a show or movie is spoiled for me, i don't ever read reviews so i would hate to unknowingly spoil something for someone else. |

Real content of future episodes is spoiler.
Real, verifiable, attributable, statements about future episodes or general direction by the writers, actors, or anyone directly involved is a spoiler. Beyond that, I tend to spoiler anything that I consider as likely or probable. |

My wife and I talked about it a bit, we think bernard is the only host tgat is truly becoming alive the others are still in a loop Bernard may be off the reservation because of his 'brain damage' from the gunshot. That may be the key to evolution for the hosts, almost like a mutation that brings them to 'human' consciousness. I'm also starting to wonder if there may be multiple copies of some of the main hosts, some of which are active concurrently. |

Just re-watched S1E8, and I think Stubbs knows about Bernard.

S2E2 had a lot of information to digest. I thought it was a good episode.

I'm interested to see what the weapon is that Delores knows about. That was some huge machinery on the work site to build whatever it is.

I was guessing she was talking about a data center where they store the information about all the parks guests. She'll use the data on all the humans against them or Delos somehow. View Quote |

I'll be interested to see if they delve more into the tech behind Westworld. The modern hosts appear to be almost entirely human except for the brain. So it appears that medical technology exists which can heal any kind of physical injury (except possibly brain injuries since the hosts have mostly robotic brains). Yet regular humans still seem to grow old and can even die from disease.

Watched yesterday’s episode. Enjoyed it more then the first one of season two.

Delores is 100% in a loop. All of the hosts are.
Do you remember at the end of last season when Bernard said to Maeve “These things you’re doing, have you ever stopped to question why you are doing them?” My money is Ford is using them to destroy Delos. It also appears the MIB and Delores’ motivations are the same, to destroy Delos/ the data the Park has collected. The dinner party scene with Logan was great. |

Remember when he was telling Teddy last season about how his wife killed herself because of him and about how he lost himself in the park? I bet he feels like the park turned him into someone that ended up destroying his life and his marriage. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Don’t know if it deserves it’s own thread but I heard HBO announced season 3 is a go.

I recognized Gus Fring's voice and looked it up--yep, Giancarlo Esposito was El Lazo in the most recent episode. Too bad it was over so quickly.

All the below is just my own speculation:
I believe that Arnold wanted to actually create artificial life. Independent, sentient life. I think Ford wanted to take over the world. Ford and the Board of Directors, that is. William got so entranced with the place that it took over his whole life. He lost everything that was 'real' because of it. His whole life spent searching for hidden meaning was because if he gave up his whole 'real' life, he wanted it to be FOR something. He slowly comes to the conclusion that there is no hidden meaning - it's all an elaborate 'life imitates art, art imitates life' stage play. In the end, he decides that since it's now become 'real' for him, the only challenge to the game is to beat it - to burn it to the ground. The hosts ARE all still in a loop. They're following conflicting instructions left by Arnold before he died and Ford, before HE died. Arnold realized that his creations were going to be used for nefarious purposes and so wanted them destroyed. That's why he had to be killed in the first place. Ford knew he was on his way out, and he resented the board for his ouster - he triggered the entire uprising as a final 'Fuck you!' to the board. A 'if HE can't have them, then NOBODY can have them' play. I doubt that very much of this is true, but I cant' wait to see if I'm at all close. |

Quoted: Wouldn't that be crazy. I mean honestly, how can you tell hosts apart from humans other than cutting their head in half? View Quote And the MIB is overly obsessed with discovering the riddle of the maze and the true purpose of the parks which IMO is another hint that he may be a host. |

i like the show. but interesting characters make a great show. i dont think ww has it in that department. and tries to make up for it with complex plot arcs and mixing time sequences (post and current) and glitzy production.
this season, at least so far the plot has been a bit too complex and somewhat hard to follow. if it gets complicated enough, the audience will go 'meh'. i still hope the weapon at the end of the rainbow is bagger 288, that would be kool.... |

When Bernard is showing Delores his home, what country and city are they in? In the show that is.
