Free Will, Black Sheep, Etc.

Oh another possibility. Rehoboam calculates human future based on human data. But, does it take into account itself? What if human society is fated to be destroyed, if not by the outliers, it would be by Rehoboam? Depending on the genre of a time-travel movie, it’s possible that one needs...

Westworld Episode 305

Hi! Just a few thoughts/questions after watching episode 305 for a second time. Maybe better thinkers than I can figure them out. 1. When did Rehoboam come into being? At the beginning, Serac and Dempsey are talking and Dempsey says there’ve been so many iterations and asks Serac what this...

Villains, Motives and Marvel Comics

Hi Guys, On the subject of villains and motives, Cirac is quite similar to Magneto from Marvels X-men line of comics (one of the greatest villains ever created). Like Cirac, he was shaped in tragedy (a concentration camp in WWII) and seeing the worst side of human nature he decides...

Incite Website

“Hey y’all,” I have a couple items. First…In your last episode about Genre, Big D mentioned his suspicions regarding the timing of Caleb’s friends arriving as back up and started wondering aloud if Dolores knows their relationship. He even went so far as to assume Dolores called them. Am I...
