Westworld- Elsie Access To Lab With Bernard And Ghost Nation.

Published May 18, 2018 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hey Guys,

I really enjoy all the podcasts that you put out, it certainly helps sort things out and makes me look at some things in a different way than I would have normally. There are two things I noticed that I wanted to bring up that may or may not be relevant to anything. The first is in regards to the role of the Ghost nation hosts. I had signed up for the Delos emails from HBO Westworld site back in season 1 and in one of the emails that I had just received this week there is an “Delos Corp. interoffice” email thread that is basically a trainer for employees in the park on how to handle guests actions in the park under different circumstances that are occurring. When you click on each scenario there are three options to choose from to correct the situation described. In one of the scenarios the example is given that two guests are engaged in an escalating fight near the edge of a cliff and one of the corrective actions that is available to choose from is to dispatch the Ghost Nation hosts to intervene between the guests and cause a distraction to move them into a safe position away from the danger of the edge of the cliff which basically confirmed that the Ghost Nation hosts are a secondary safety or security force used in the park to protect human guests, at least in the Westworld area of the park. The second thing that I wanted to bring up for your opinions on was when Elsie and Bernard entered lab 12. In the first episode of this season when Charlotte and Bernard go to enter the lab Charlotte puts her hand on the handle to the doors and the access lights stay white until she explains to Bernard that he needs to place his hand on the door so the DNA sniffers know he is not a threat, at that point he puts his hand on the door and the access lights turn green and they enter the lab. In this weeks episode when Bernard takes Elsie down to the lab, that she supposedly had no idea even existed, she walks up to the doors with Bernard behind her not near the handles and when she puts her hand on the handle to open the door the light turns green and the door opens. Again I don’t know if there is any significance to that but why would Charlotte who knew of the lab and what was going on there not have the ability to access it without Bernard’s handprint/DNA and Elsie who knew nothing of the lab be able to enter by her own handprint/DNA? Again I don’t know if it is relevant to anything at all, just wanted to bring it up for a discussion. Keep up the great work your doing and I look forward to future podcasts.
