Curious development. The article mentions who Wood is playing (at least on the surface).
HBO's "Westworld", starring Anthony Hopkins/produced by J.J. Abrams
- Thread starter Ensign_Redshirt
- Start date
Some of Jo Garfein's crazy theories about the Hosts could be coming true.
Things get crazier and people die.
Teddy's back! And we're getting a robot love story!
Some thoughts on episode 4.1
I liked the more straightforward/less convoluted beginnings.
Let's see how the season evolves.

- Caleb is (unknown to him for now) a host (grave injuries in the flashback).
- Maeve probably just wiped that part of Caleb's memories, in case she needed his help again and also didn't want to alter his personality.
- "Blackout" Maeve is (again) awesome
, too bad she's not THE primary focus of the series IMO.
- William MIB's cartel "negotiation" was fun
. He had the last laugh (for now)
- my guess the creepy flies are fly sized "swarm nano probes" to reprogram or take over humans on the fly (pun intended)
- I missed Hale/Halores, Bernard and Stubs
- (bland) Rachel Wood in a Dolores version-whatever (feels like a Matrix 4 + Free Guy + "Wonder Woman 1984 Romance comeback" in a blender)
- the tower is the source of the control signal over the "city/region-park"
- the inhabitants (humans and unknown to themselves hosts) have no idea that they are "in there".

Did Thandi(w)e Newton change her stage name or is that a weird ass typo?
So Robots are outlawed now, and RoboWilliam is using Robots as kill squads, along with his Nano bugs?
Sure seemed like NuDolores was about to pitch her Westworld story as a game there and then changed it some. Repressed memories coming out as her stories?
Or
Anyone else wondering if NuDolores' story is in the past, and she/her stories are who Westworld Dolores is based on? Hence Teddy?

Decent opening. Lots of table setting and nothing surprising. Well, I guess Teddy was suppose to be surprising but I saw the news of James Marsden returning a few weeks ago, but either way my response would've been the same. Eh.
That said, I did love the cold opening with William simply owning the cartel. I was also relieved that Hoover Dam is actually playing Hoover Dam instead of trying to do some kind of futuristic stand in like they did last season with Valencia.
Did anyone else think the second time Christina woke up that her scare would be missing and she wouldn't remember it?
Nice to see Caleb again but I figured his not-so-relaxed home life wouldn't last long. At least, my two favorite characters are together again already.

Actually, her name has been misspelled for the last 30 years and she's only now (well, as of April 2021) fixing that mistake.
The most unrealistic thing Westworld has done so far is showed Lake Mead decades in the future still having water in it.
Yeaaahhh...that really stood out especially since I had just watched the Last Week Tonight episode about water usage...and John Oliver specifically called out Lake Mead.
It's pretty clear now the woman who looks like Dolores is in the 'Door'.
I'm going to speculate Ford added a copy of himself to this version of Dolores with subconscious admin access to the simulation. That's why she's being pressured to write tragedies but secretly wanting to write happier stories for her creations. Those were his thoughts at the time he injected his code.

There's no change in the aspect ratio - which is the show's established visual language for differentiating between what's real and what's a simulation - between the stuff with Christina and what's happening anywhere else in the episode.
How else do you explain her writing pen having magical power over people? Unless it's somehow connected to William's mind control bugs? Not to mention who was watching her at the end of the episode.
At this point you can't even assume they are people. Who knows what the situation will turn out to be. There could be a hundred different explanations for what's going on.
There's no evidence of this actually happening.
We don't know why Christina and her mystery savior/future blind date look like Dolores and Teddy, respectively, quite yet.
There’s 1000 possible explanations but “These are normal people in the real world who coincidentally look just like hosts” is not one of them.
This isn’t Picard, actors don’t get reused just for the f*** of it.
And actually having a cut on her arm means they are not hallucinations.
And remember Bernard ended last season going into the simulation and did not appear yet.
Agree to disagree.
