1984 Influenced Westworld

I have an observation that I think you might find interesting. I think the overall message of the show is going to be like that of “1984,” and can be extrapolated from what the creators did in “Memento.” Ford tells Bernard that there is no difference between the guests and...

Bernard Is Not Arnold (Maybe)

Greetings gang, Some thoughts- A) Bernard’s one-on-ones with Dolores have likely been explained. He was created around the same time to nurture development. We aren’t necessarily looking at Arnold in the past and Bernard in the present like had been proposed previously. The nature of the discussion makes it seem...

Westworld Finale Will Climax At Church

In reviewing this theory, it seems more and more to me that the culmination of the season may be Delores on her solo trip winding her way to ‘the center of the maze’ (which I feel is essentially an experiential construct somehow focused on the church) at the same time...

Wyatt’s Group Are Original Hosts

Can Maeve Control Bernard?

In Regards to Dr. Ford as the Singularity

Hi Fellas- Really appreciate all of the down the rabbit-hole theories and tin-foil hat crack pottery that sets your podcast apart from all the rest. It makes my own daily loops bearable to listen to you guys while I am working. That being said, I am shocked, SHOCKED I tells...

What Is a Crackpot Theory?

After the first eight episodes of “Westworld” there are some unanswered questions: Why did Ford create the Wyatt story? Why are Wyatt’s men immune to bullets? What did Arnold do? What is the maze? Why is Dolores retracing her steps? Why was the church and town buried? Why is Ford...
