well shit, anthony hopkins is truly terrifying

I am not sure if you are talking about this character or actor himself. If you are talking about he actor I will assume you watched his Hannibal roles where he was way more terrifying

Hopkins in Hannibal still creeps me the fuck out.

her storyline is so dumb makes not want to watch the show. I am not watching it live anymore, just so I can skip her story.

is it wrong of me to think that the term "two timelines" is being used wrong?

it's more like 2 different points in the same timeline, so one is the past, and one is the present.

edit: to clarify. it's one timeline but two time frames.

If it is two timelines then there's been some incredibly shitty, deceptive editing going on. With the general quality of the rest of the show I find it hard to believe they'd do something this ham-fisted.

While i agree with you in general it seems very likely that this is exactly what is going on though.
It's disappointing but it makes narrative sense and the hints (different logos, etc) are there.


Interesting turn of events, the bernard = arnold theory seems plausible now hehe.
I have to say that i dislike the william and dolores part and the maeve storyline in the lab is quite annoying as well.
Hopkins is still great as Ford though, even though it's not really more than "the evil mastermind" trope tbh. But he just plays the character beautifully and every scene he is in is elevated to another lvl simply because he is part of it.

Welp what an episode. Couple of things.

I didn't like how they hinted Bernard being a robot just after he talked about robots unable to see some things. Is he some sort of more advanced bot where he has no loop and goes through his day based off improvisation?

About the timelines and WIlliam being MiB. If Dolores knew the MiB from her flashbacks wouldn't she steer away from William?

It seems we lost 3 PoV characters: Theresa, Bernard and Elsie. Elsie had no screen time this episode other then the mentioning of her being on leave. Maybe someone in admin got to her and changed her profile. I think it would be more Arnold centered since we havn't seen what actually happened to her and Ford doesn't seem involved.

Maybe Ford is using Maeve to start up a revolution if the board tries to forcibly remove him.

Maeve has the potential to be the most interesting story line if she manages to leave. That means we get to see a world that can afford a HUGE centre like the one here for researching AI and entertainment to cover a bit of the costs.

How have they made arrows and tomahawks safe to humans? Controlling who can use weapons clearly isn't useful in a chaotic battle between cowboys and Indians.

I think they aren't safe. In the beginning of the series it was said that the farther away from the center they are the more dangerous it gets. I'm guessing you can die at that point in the world.

I kinda thought the arrows being there at all was bizarre... precisely zero folks were using bow+arrow in the ~1870s when this appears to be "set." I get that maybe they did it for flavor, but it does complicate the safety issue too in a completely unnecessary way.

If the robots can simulate damage the arrows can be blunt. With some protective coating or similar on the humans that might work out. Can't see a normal way either though, a human can move into an arrows path during its flying time.

HBO has ordered a second season of the sci-fi robopocalypse thriller – along with renewing fellow fall freshman series Divorce and Insecure. All three will have another 10 episodes.

There’s just one catch: Given its epic scope, Westworld probably won’t return until 2018, says HBO’s programming president Casey Bloys. The Westworld pick-up was expected as the show has delivered a mix of critical praise, pop culture buzz, and strong ratings (the series is averaging 11.7 million viewers across all the network’s platforms – more than even Game of Thrones racked up during its first season).

It's amazing how scary Anthony Hopkins can still be, total Hannibal vibes. I also really like the fact that everyone could be one of his robots now, keeps us guessing.

Yeah, I guess it's impossible to make safe arrows. Also, with how far the guest can travel, dying from thirst might also be a serious issue with them being in a desert and all. So they probably have to sign a waiver or something. I mean the guy traveling with Dolores, they are hardly carrying any supplies.

I'd imagine that any modern park like that would/should have an emergency alarm thing you can turn on(be it on themselves or ask a nearby host) but that would also leave plot holes so such a system might not exist.

Or maybe it's just because he happens to be a well known star and so you associate his stardom with great acting, as with most Hollywood bullshit awards that are really just studio schemed marketing opportunities using celebrities as branding.

Oh come on. The scene in the restaurant was extremely well done. He's incredibly good at switching between kindly, confused old man to psychopathic maniac in a single scene... basically just by controlling his face.

Well, I agree that some Hollywood awards are just a marketing "gift" to some actors and actresses, but He is really a great actor, that is undeniable, his scenes is what I have enjoyed the most in this show, and it has something to do with him being in the scene, because I suppose the same writers are for Maev scenes and those are just terrible.

these are robots, they should be able to calculate the arrows trajectory well enough to at least not hit vital areas in the guests body and focus on the other hosts.
