Honestly, I kind of like this approach. Not that they really have a choice, but two years between seasons is going to make this whole endeavor feel even more epic.

Oh and loved the quick second of Felix questioning his reality after realizing Bernard was actually a host. This has been something I have been hoping to get all season, as I find it to be one of the most interesting concepts when dealing with AI. Ex Machina still did a much better job doing it, but the subtle pause and confusion from Felix was still great.

By the time this comes back I'll be convinced that Ford is actually Maeve or something.

I think this being on HBO affords them the benefit of not having to come back until 2018. If this was basic cable or even broadcast, this show would rushed into production and quality would likely take a **** in the name of production.

Wasn't this season in production and shooting for a long time?

I would think that if she was one then they would have put more focus on her instead of just a glance to show that she was an OG. I am leaning towards it looking like her but not being her but I could be wrong obvy

Though I shouldn't say two years. Sounds like it'll be back in the first half of 2018, as long as there aren't any huge hiccups, so more like a year and a half.

Think about it. Westworld season 2 and the final season of Game of Thrones could very well premiere back to back. Westworld in the spring and GoT in the summer. HBO is going to be loving life in 2018.

I'm pretty sure they called her out by name during the sequence

literally loled. Yes, I do like this too. What I've been telling people with this show is that you're not just getting movie quality actors and writing, you're getting some of the best in the business in both aspects. That's the main reason it has been so good. Now if you were to rush this to meet deadlines and just spit something out, that's when you'll see it become just like any other television show on right now. Nolan is the man!

But yes, I really hope we see an aged Ford at some point further along the series as a nice little twist.

BTW, the most unrealistic part of the whole show was that dude bating in a room surrounded by glass where literally everyone in the place could see him.

Boom.

Joy just CONFIRMED that Maeve had FREE WILL in that moment to get off the train. She literally said that was her first conscious choice in her new journey, and called it a "beautiful moment."

Can we all agree that finally puts this whole thing to bed?

One thing bothered me about Ford's new narrative. For Delores to reach the beach with Teddy and put on that show for the Delos Board at exactly that time, everything preceding that had to happen exactly the way that it did at exactly the time that it did. How is that possible if MIB (presumably human) could have interrupted or altered things at any moment? Ford would not have left so much to chance.

MIB is part of the narrative (in the past he has even called himself a God). He is part of what sets Delores on the path to self revelation. In one scene in the finale, he literally attempt to persuade Delores to 'eat from the tree of knowledge'. And Delores convinces Teddy. Even in their scene in front of the board, she said they have lived in "this beautiful garden". In Ford's garden, the Hosts had been immune to evil, before they had the knowledge. We also see a scene with Ford and MIB, where Ford tells MIB that he shall have what he has wanted (host consciousness, real harm/danger). MIB won't be killed. He will be a part of leading the Hosts on the Journey into Night (darkness).

Lastly, Ford is not dead. God does not die. The tell is handshake between Ford and Bernard, as Ford said, the old hosts were given away with a handshake. He became his music.

Btw, for those watching this Facebook live thing, I love how normal Nolan and Joy come across. They're just like this unassuming married couple, with zero pretension, who just so happen to have created the biggest show of the year together.

I have to admit, with all the music that came up this season by the likes of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails for instance, that we might have gotten Peter Gabriel's version of My Body is a Cage at some point.

No, read the bit I quoted from Nolan on the previous page.

On a light note this might be the funniest scene in the show so far. The existential panic was great.

Note: can drop in spoiler tags if staff doesn't like the cuss word.

Is the fish slapping over, yet? Has anybody changed their minds since 20 hrs ago?

All I want to know about season 2 is if we get to see more boobies.

How many seasons? Bear in mind the hosts aren't supposed to age

Nolan said they have five seasons mapped out. No clue if they'll actually make it that far, though.

Dude, she is SO CLEARLY NOT a Host! Didn't you see her slightly turn her head when she said the word "Maeve?" That sort of mannerism hasn't been displayed by ANY Host on the whole show. Plus is would ruin the whole theme of the live broadcast if they copped out and all of a sudden broke all their own rules in an attempt at a cheap "gotcha" moment. You'd have to be a moron to think she could be a Host.

You clearly have completely missed Nolan's point. Start looking for the center of your own maze you nonsentient fleshsack.
