Yeah, someone said they saw the Man in Black glitch out at one point and now believe him to be a robot as well. Gonna have to rewatch the episodes because I didn't see it.
That was my initial supposition, but to my mind that they showed the control room call him out specifically kind of put that to rest in my head.
He also references the cost he pays to go there in E1. Up in the air though, I hadn't heard about the supposed glitch, and it still wouldn't be a stretch to write in, so we'll see.

he's not a glitch, he's expirienced user of those park (mentioned "30 years ago" few times and "glad i'm back"), security also knew about him and he definitely knows lots about NPCs and quests
maybe somehow related to previous versions of westworld or some incident?
what's the deal with those maze still remains uncertain,any ideas? :/
Hopkins seems like playing God with his new story, it was a bit creepy in the end actually

Guessing the Maze is a map/entry points that guests use to get in and out of the park i.e. Rail lines.

While i enjoyed the second episode as well, i still have a problem with the show (already).
Too much hinges on mystery imo. The characters fall flat. This could be a problem in the long run, at least for me.

Yeah i also think it's about getting into the real world. The little girl told the MiB that the maze isn't meant for him, i think it might be meant for the hosts instead. When they realize westworld isn't real, etc

I think the maze could be related to getting into the HQ or operations center? I'm not sure, because otherwise it seems like a kind of City Slickers plot line. Some hidden part of the game for the most dedicated tourists.
If the MIB is actually a corrupted host or something, he would have to have been an early build, or a pet project of Hopkins creating a host that isn't technically a host to do testing. I dunno, there are many ways to explain it out that I can come up with.

Didn't the maze look some kind of circuit? Why would that dude have a maze of the rail lines on the top of his scalp?
The thing that bugs me most about this show is that it's not clear how/why the guests are unable to harm other guests. It can't be just some kind of stupid "smart gun" thing where the guns won't fire on actual humans, right? What about knives or whatever?

This maze may be some kind of high level quest as well, only for "experts"
They will explain everything, step by step but i'm also curious how exactly those world works.
We don't even know what year is it in a show :|

It's been 2 episodes. I'm sure it will be revealed in time.

Westworld has become Sky Atlantic’s most successful new series debut, eclipsing both Game of Thrones and Fortitude in its first week.
A total of 1.84 million people have watched the sci-fi series since its launch on 4 October. The previous biggest series premiere on the channel, Fortitude, drew 1.74 million in its first week, and episode one season one of Game of Thrones was seen by 1.45 million.
Westworld is set in a hedonistic theme park populated by lifelike androids and is based on the 1973 film by Michael Crichton which starred Yul Brynner as a murderous robot cowboy.
The remake boasts an all-star cast, including Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood and Ed Harris, and counts Star Trek and Star Wars: Force Awakens director JJ Abrams among its executive producers.
The show has also been a hit in the US, providing HBO with the largest premiere audience since the first series of True Detective with 3.3 million viewers across all devices. It has also received a largely positive critical response on both sides of the Atlantic, and was described by the Guardian as “a seamless marriage of western and dystopian sci-fi corporate thriller”.
However, in an indication of how rapidly viewing habits are changing, the bulk of Westworld’s viewers tuned in after it was first broadcast either recorded or on-demand, with just 448,000 watching live. The total number of viewers for Westworld in the first week is likely to increase further as Sky’s Now TV and and Sky Go app are not included in the catchup figures.
In contrast, almost half of those who watched the first ever episode of Game of Thrones in 2011 did so on launch night, while 722,000 caught Fortitude live when it began in January 2015.

What I find interesting about The Man In Black, is how his role in the plot will develop as the hosts start to gain more awareness.
He's been going to the park for so long that he's likely to have had interactions (probably negative), with many of the hosts. This is supported by the dream sequences in Ep. 2, where he appears at the end of the nightmare. So, the MiB is essentially a part of the subconscious of the hosts, taking the role of Boogeyman.
Assuming that we reach a point where the hosts gain awareness and the ability to harm the guests, we'll have to see how this impacts the MiB's quest. Likely there'll be some kind of reckoning with vengeful hosts.

I absolutely love it, now after watching #2, i feel like Dolores her acting is not on par with the rest of the cast haha, beautiful series, I barely have any tvseries to watch nowadays so I am so glad that HBO delivers.

Good episode. They will have to show what happens to the people dragged miles from the train station and get scared like that one girl or just in general. I wonder if they have like helicopters and shit.
The glitches and stuff are getting a little out of hand though especially paired with geniuses not shutting down things when something goes wrong. "We cant shut them down now, we have narratives to do!"

meh i find this show boring so far

Bernard wants them to continue glitching as he is fascinated by 'real' consciousness maybe because he wants his son back as was hinted. Robert Ford on the other hand knows a lot more than he his saying and knows what Bernard is up to and he seems more interested in his own project whatever it will be.

The special effects that made the young Anthony Hopkins in the flashback, that was amazing.
So his character is going a little insane maybe?

First episodes he admires them because humanity has reached it's limit/peak then he goes off and cut one to show they aren't real but he designs them to bleed and so forth.

I don't think he admires them and it seems to me that he's totally conscious that they are not here to play god (and that it is a serious mistake to try to). Which is why he cuts the robot to show the probably new guy that those are just robots and not humans.
