Westworld Theories

Hey guys,

Love the podcast and thought I would email in with my thoughts.

Last shot of dolorous is on the train. Except she is alone, no William or Laurence who were a moment before sitting drinking behind her.
At the start of the show Dolorous is on her own amid the graves. She closes her eyes and imagines herself in the church and hears a voice. When she opens her eyes William, Logan and Slim are now there.
Dolorous can shoot a gun in the timeline with William but she can’t in the timeline when Wyat exists
There is never any mention of the war in the Man in Black’s timeline
There is never any mention of Wyatt in Logan and Williams timeline

I believe this means that Dolorous is reliving the journey that she took 30 years ago with William and Logan except this time she is alone and we are seeing parts of both journeys. This also explains how she can be pulled out of the park by Bernard and Dr Ford without William or Logan noticing.

You asked what the connection between Dolorous and Arnold might be? I believe she killed Arnold, or perhaps more likely that Arnold made her kill him.

She was the only other person present when he died
She says the last thing he said to her was that she would help him destroy this place (perhaps by breaking the one rule and killing somebody)
She keeps imagining herself with a revolver (digging it up, finding it in her dresser)
She can shoot a gun

Not quite as much evidence on that one of course, just my opinion though.

Thanks for taking the time to read and thanks again for the show. – Pete
