Westworld Time Line Jumping

Published October 27, 2016 · Updated July 6, 2022

Good podcast guys. Thanks for not using the word meta every other sentence.

Quick thought on the time line jumping. It’s been put out there that William can’t be the man in black from 30 years ago since Delores sees old man in black then stumbles into William and Logan’s camp.

This implies that if Delores is “remembering” old man in black then she can’t immediately walk into young man in blacks (Williams) camp. However who says her stumbling into camp follows that scene in the barn with the man in black? Is it possible that whatever incident happened in the park 30 years ago involved Delores and as a result she stumbled off into the night to find William (the man in black) and Logan?

The park then fixed everything and scrubbed Delores. Now 30 years later Delores is having another crisis and when she “remembers” old man in black it is from recent events like days or weeks ago. The two scenes could’ve been delivered back to back to throw us off the fact that William is indeed the man in black.

Also on a completely different train of thought I’m not sold that Logan isn’t in fact the man in black.

Thanks for reading the rambling –Lea
