Westworld

What if Elsie isn't dead, but Bernard only knocked her unconscious? Ford is getting old, he needs someone to continue his work. He sees promise in Elsie and takes a curiosity in mentoring her to take over Westworld after he dies.

Or are we sure she is dead?

I'm pretty sure she halted Bernard's programming somehow before emitting the signal to Stubbs so that she could expose everything that's happening.

I can buy it, outside of the "Ford is old" part. Ford's a host, keep up!

Those should be commas, not periods. And it's alluded, not eluded. Starting to understand why you couldn't follow the plot...

Firstly, that's a bit snarky, second, I found it very funny.

Something I noticed, in the last scene when Ford walks away, there is a deactivated host in the background that seems to match Theresa for build and hair length.

also, this fucking autistition fucking calls Arnold's full name in relation to bernard 42 days before last nights reveal. Pretty amazing.

To be fair, guessing the full name wasn't difficult once you had the theory that Bernard could be Arnold. Arnold is a german given name, and Weber is in the top 5 of most common german surnames. It was as simple as jumbling the letters and finding the most german anagram you could come up with, once they revealed Bernard's surname was Lowe.

Also, Weber means "Weaver". Probably not a coincidence, considering all the mysteries and secrets he wove around himself.

To be more fair, out of all the people theorcrafting this he's the only one that typed it out. I think it's a pretty good call at the time cause the theory was tenuous at best back then.

That's what I'm saying. At the time, figuring out Bernard was a rebuilt Arnold was the clever guess, figuring out the name anagram wasn't the trickiest part. I meant no disrespect to the autistic gentleman.

Is that surprising? Theresa was obviously being recreated in the very room in which she was killed.

So are you saying that Ford's narrative is actually a plot to get rid of the board? Because that will be cool, like I posted earlier. When you say it's going to be for everyone what are you saying exactly? Sending Hosts into our world Blade Runner style?

I'm honestly not certain what Ford's end game is, but it's clear he wants to off some mofo's. Security guy is probably as good as dead, Charlotte is probably gonna get hers, Theresa got offed already, as did Elsie probably, etc... My guess? At this point, my guess is he tries to replace everyone who works at or for the park with hosts. That way he controls everything and everyone, and no one gets to interrupt his "world" ever again, but this is just a hunch. Because we haven't been shown what life is actually like outside of the park, it's difficult to tell what his true purpose might be.

But why? It's not like they hid her death. The body was recovered and shown in the following episode.

hes killing all the human workers, and replacing them like Arnold, the tech guys, and the security guy.
If no human is around the remembers her being killed. he can simply erase that memory from the replicates. like he did with Arnold already.

The whole killing the board thing seems so stupid. Killing the board off will set off massive red flags to the real world and the park could be shutdown because of the slaughtering of the board members. There has to be something else.

I still find nothing to dissaude me from my opinion that ford has/had a split personality. Ford/Arnold. Meds killed arnold, but ford remembers.....

"remember....."

seen by ......bernarold? who sees what ford want's him to see?

Nope. not that one.

Also, I got 2 bits that logan is the MIB, not billy.

Additionally, Delores's remembrances of arnold could also not be accurate, as it has well been established that she is not a trustworthy narrator.
