Duplicate Westworld Hosts

Duplicate hosts.

While I think the re-appearance of Lawrence in Pariah so soon after the Man in Black kills him on-screen could be evidence of multiple timelines, there is another option beyond a speedy repair and turnaround.

There could also be two Lawrence hosts. Producing a duplicate host has got to be cheaper than producing a unique host so Westworld could reasonably have a Lawrence on one side of the map and another operating on the other side with the expectation that no guests would happen upon both of them in one visit. It also makes sense for important hosts to have redundancy so that the storylines they are required for may continue when one is damaged.

Besides, didn’t Dolores see another Dolores in the crowd at Pariah? She may have a duplicate which was used to lure her away from the guests.

I am a long time listener of two different hosts that have created two different Westworld podcasts. I ditched both those to stick with yours. Great show! – Steven G
