Westworld

The lack of security access protocols on Felix and Ginger is rediculous. Jimmies rustled. There's no way none of their actions aren't logged.

Also, looked like Ford had Bernard kill Elsie? Was really quick but pretty sure that was her getting chocked out right before the men wipe.

That's the problem, they made a big deal over how serious security was early in the show, but it's just lax when it's convenient for the story.

They immediately realized when Maeve was off-script in Westworld, but there aren't more stringent security protocols in the real world?

The original park was likely much happier and involved no violence whatsoever according to Arnold's design. There were no loops and resets so the hosts would learn and build on their experiences and interactions, except the happy wild west town isn't the most appealing model to get guests to pay to visit. Arnold eventually went crazy and was the one to shoot up the hosts in Dolores' flashback which killed Teddy in front of Dolores and triggered her consciousness / maze trip and then something happened that killed Arnold or forced him to go into hiding.

Ford then remarketed the park as a kill / fuckfest which mandated all of the hosts be wiped and reset constantly, and their deviations could be monitored by when they go off their scripted loops. Ford knows they can become self-aware but doesn't give a shit since he wants to be god and control them like puppets to play out his stories.

Sooo I didn't have HBO and now I do. Totally forgot about the hype train for this show. Worth watching for the first time now several episodes are out or did it turn into a Designated Survivor after the first episode?
I admit I didn't read the past 30 pages for obvious reasons. Was more just curious if it has remained entertaining as it has gone on.
Thanks bros and hos.

This episode really screwed with me as far as multiple timelines. Dolores living through a few of the things while "resetting" back to William, made me believe that maybe William and MIB's timelines are different than what we've always though. What if MIB is only 30 years into the life of Westworld, but William is 40-50 years in? He suddenly appears to be a future player. Especially with all of the Dolores memory fuckups regarding that town

Or maybe the multiple timeline theories are convoluted bullshit and this is all going on at once.

I like how sad and defeated MiB looks without his hat.

We know Ford dug up that town. If anything this episode puts more fuel on the multiple time period theories. Either way, I think we can all agree that the Maeve story line is terrible.

As far as Delores remembering, Ford and Arnold "played" in the park for some time before it was opened to the public. I imagine the flashback was one of those times.

Maev will get on the same train as Abernathy and blow them both up as they leave the park since she was really just acting out her part. Ford has manipulated the story the whole time to achieve that goal. Maybe even board lady will be on the train and get it too.

This one screamed filler to me. Absolutely nothing moved in any of the arcs, outside of the absolutely pants on head Maeve story line, which fully jumped the shark. Dude wrote a brilliant story line where someone could manipulate things real time with Root in PoI, that was fully feasible inside of the PoI universe, and yet he is fully fumbling this one. My viewpoint on the whole MiB and William thing remains the same. I don't care one way or the other. I'm just curious because many have said that the town has been unearthed by Ford in the present. The only thing I remember about Ford and that town, was in the early episodes, he is with that little boy, and they are looking at the buried steeple, and he is talking about bringing out the new story line. Where did I miss him unearthing it?
