Exactly, so if he can't prepare for everything then building an Arnold replica is quite risky.
he also appears to be totally insane so maybe he just thought "ah, fuck it"

I mean he's more in the calculated evil genius mold at the moment which is sort of opposite, but I'll go with that.
― Evan, Tuesday, 29 November 2016 23:10 (seven years ago) link
so bernard is a robot & also arnold huh, looks like everybody in the entire world guessed right. wish they'd just had one unbelievably long slow boring reveal for both those pieces of information instead of two. How many of these are left? The fun is draining out so fast for me.
I did like post-massacre psychobilly doing his most mcpoyley acting yet.

since there's only one ep left I guess they're going to empty their bag of reveals in that one : it will be christmas !(and they'll try to figure out how to make sense of it all in the next season...) like they did in the middle of s1...
Production was temporarily halted for a couple of months in early 2016 so that showrunners Nolan and Joy could complete the scripts for the last four episodes of the first season

oh I'm sure they will find plenty of things to surprise us...
what's up with the MAZE ! the new story/world built by Ford in the part under construction of the park ! Maeve becomes a member of the board ! Dolores' former father is Wyatt ! Logan fucks Elsie's corpse and brings her back to life ! Dolores and Teddy are reunited and kill everybody they meet (which definitely pushes William to the dark side and he steals Logan's black clothes) ! the security guy kidnapped by the indians becomes one of them with the name little big man ! the host dog killed by the kid following Bernard/Arnold's order contained all the big data ! the asian tech guy brings Theresa back to life after his successful attempt with the bird ! Charlotte is killed in the british story guy's story/plot against Ford !
and of course, many more massacres !
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 12:29 (seven years ago) link
Elsie is probably still alive. No onscreen death typically says as much in these shows.
― circa1916, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:14 (seven years ago) link
yeah, definitely. speaking of which, as someone pointed out upthread, Bernard being able to get there to get her while he was still with Theresa when she called him was a bit eh...
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:23 (seven years ago) link
very glad that Bernard and Arnold are same dude now, since I couldn't keep their names straight

I suspect if the last episode isn't mindblowing we will have to deal with some whiny internet letdown narrative until season 2, which will be way more annoying than the actual show

I suppose but I doubt anyone will force you to consume westworld content in the interim
― Evan, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 15:30 (seven years ago) link
Kind of looking forward to the finale not being mindblowing, which will mean I can have closure on a mildly disappointing but not wholly worthless cultural product and never have to think about it again

this show is all kinds of inconsistent but I don't care, I still find it very enjoyable. except I do fall asleep in the middle of every episode for five-ten minutes.

i thought they already showed wyatt at some point. I fell asleep when they discussed that dude's (the guy who was in love with dolores) backstory in episode 3 or 4 though when all that was introduced and have been slightly confused ever since.

wtf I hadn't picked up on that at all. I also fell asleep again in the middle of this episode though.

in last episode the robots leave the park and find out that Earth has been a nuclear wasteland for decades. One of them picks up a charred "Trump 2020" poster and says, "If only they'd known. If only they had a warning."

and why has Ford stopped having chats and drinks with buffalo bill in the fridge ?maybe it's time to have a poll about our favourite character in the show. I suppose Maeve would win it easily. Or Dolores.

It is nice, after years of seeing the internet's theories about Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones turn to dust, that finally we have a prestige show whose big reveals were predicted by the second episode.― duped and used by my worst Miss U
― duped and used by my worst Miss U
I was really into Breaking Bad, but even with all the fan-theories about anagrams and colors and whatever, the show's creators were intentionally throwing curveballs that only somewhat rewarded the close-watchers/Internet predictions, but ended up taking the show to even higher heights that nobody predicted. With Westworld, the whole multiple timelines/Bernard Lowe-Arnold Weber/William is the Man in Black/THE MAZE stuff seems like it only rewards the close-watchers by giving them the gratification of proving them right, and episode 9 was only there to spell it out for the more casual watchers.
