Neglected Timeline in Westworld

Published January 14, 2017 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hey Ghost Hosts,

Just a check in to hit what I think are some neglected timeline touchstones. I can’t do it without revealing my tinfoil, so maybe it’s all bias, but bear with me.

I’m a M.i.b.=William truther, and to that end I think that Teddy is a character added by Ford, post William’s adventures with Delores, to taunt Will (the incident-centric new investor) and keep [the new*] Delores on her loop. His job is to pick up the can, like Will did. This also illuminates M.i.b’s contempt for Teddy (‘you’re the loser’)

It’s bandied about that teddy is a Gen1 host (and that may be) but there’s actually been no concrete evidence that he exists in the ‘old logo’ timeline.

This makes the Teddy/Wyatt conflagration all the more interesting. It’s stated that Wyatt is not content to just kill, but mutilates his victims. With this theory locked and loaded I’d been waiting for William to massacre hosts. Not only did we get that in ep9, but had the robo leg stumping kicker.

Also of note; M.i.b. is playing Fords new narrative. Wyatt, the Minotaur guy, the unearthed city, all alluded to in the future tense during what I call ‘the Delos timeline.’ Ford bests the board and delivers the new narrative.

Did I lose you yet? I think ‘The Incident’ is whatever happens to Delores’s (Arnold prompted) awaking at the end of Will’s first trip to the park. I think Gen1 Delores is at the center of the maze, and that ‘violent ends’ Delores had to be made to replace her. (The Delores plans in Fords bunker?) I think M.i.b is in a rush because he knows about the ‘violent ends’ awaking of Mave, et al

I think there’s a bunch of red herrings happening at the tea dance, so I’m skeptical, but I suspect it’s actually Arnold at the reigns and ultimately it’s the site of his suicide. (We only know that Delores feels responsible for Arnold’s death)

You guys are doing a great show!
I never write in to internet stuff, but hearing you guys get so close sometimes that me shouting back at the computer is just not cutting it.

Keep up the great work
