Telegraph: Westworld Time-Fuckery

Have a Theory? Share It Now!

They said they weren’t going to be doing all the time jumps in season 3, but I absolutely think we’ve been seeing time-fuckery with Deloris since season 2, but we were so turned upside down with Bernards time-fuckery, we didn’t notice it happening with Deloris at the same time.

Serac says “history now has an author”, He said he had been waiting on Deloris, Maeve, and the others to arrive for years, and one of the most annoying things about Deloris from season 2, is her acting like a know it all…but maybe she was after all.

I think the mirror world is just re-written history…hence “history now has an author”. I think there is the original timeline where things happen as they naturally would, and then Rohobo takes what already happened, and runs all possible scenarios to determine the best path, which then plays out in the mirror world.

I think Deloris is the one person (thing) besides Serac that is aware of this mirror world, therefore she is able to manipulate it, the main difference being, that Rohobo has the ability to calculate all possible scenarios, and Deloris doesn’t, but Deloris has a leg up because Rohobo can’t keep track of, or predict her.

I think when we see Deloris, we are seeing the original series of events, and the mirror world events seamlessly edited together to make it look like it’s happening all at the same time. Humans are on a loop, so we’re always going to do things the same exact way unless Rohobo inserts a new variable. Deloris has total recall so she can experience an event, and will know what to change in the mirror world, but unlike Rohobo, she can’t predict the outcome of her changes.

The best example of this is the scene in the ambulance. If you pay attention, the heart monitor thing (that looks like headphones) keeps changing positions throughout the scene. Sometimes it’s over her shoulder, and sometimes is under her armpit. I think at the point when it’s in one position, it’s the original version of events, and when it’s in the other position, it’s the mirror version of events.

Deloris seems to know things because she’s already experienced them. Think about it

How did she have a Connells host built and ready to go and show up at the exact right time? How did she know to hide a knife to set herself free when Connells had her tied up? How did she know to take the bullet from Teddy’s brain ball and put it in Williams gun so he would shoot off his hand? Before entering the Forge, she tells Bernard to come with her because has a role to play. If she’s never been there, how in the hell does she know Bernard has a role to play? How does Teddy’s body end up in the flooded Forge? Why did she remake Bernard knowing he was against her and would try to stop her? I know it’s been implied that she brought him back to give herself “checks & balances”, but I refuse to even consider that theory because it’s just stupid. Thats like robbing a bank and bringing a cop with you knowing that they’re going to try to stop you. What made Deloris suddenly have a drastic U turn on wanting to save the Forge data and host Eden, when just moments before, all she wanted to do was destroy it?

I think when we saw Teddy shoot himself, it was the original version of events, but when we saw her take his brain ball and the bullet, it was the mirror world. When she tells Bernard he has a role to play outside of the Forge, it was the mirror world, but when we see them walking through the Forge with Logan, we’ve jumped back to the original version of events.

It’s cut together so seamlessly that what seems like one cohesive scene, is actually multiple versions woven together. Deloris is re-doing what she’s already done.

Teddy ending up in Eden makes sense because Deloris had his brain ball, but his body was far away from the Forge, and we never saw him walk through the door, so how does his body end up in the water with the other hosts…maybe there was a mirror version of events that we don’t see where he does walk through the door, or where Deloris does somehow get his body there.

I could be way off, but if you rewatch some of Deloris scenes with this theory in mind, it starts to seem as clear as day.
