Westworld Timelines Surrounding Angela

Published December 3, 2016 · Updated July 6, 2022

On further review the hostess character has me mired in timelines.

She greeted William (“Does it matter?”) helped him pick out his hat, so Hostess in 30 years past timeline. (I)

She is the survivor of the Ghost Nation attack in the Tough Teddy/MIB timeline. (II)

She is the Hostess in the promo video in the Maeve tour. Though perhaps this meaningless; Maeve herself appears in a different role in the promo video than the one she is currently portraying. Doesn’t she? She died as the Madame to get backstage then, correct? So, I or II? Or I-b?

William doesn’t see Maeve, only old Clem when he arrives, right? Is Mauve in the Mother/Daughter loop in I? I think so, and think William ends up killing them to begin his metamorphosis into the MIB. Is the uprising that Mauve is fomenting the ‘incident’ 30 years ago? Or is it concurrent with the Hale/Ford power struggle?

One last thing: I am beginning to suspect that while Bernard was modeled after Arnold for Ford’s comfort, actual Arnold resides within the little girl: Lawrence’s all knowing, not freezing, slightly wry daughter.

Still don’t know what to make of that ending.

Thanks for providing the musings.
