Westworld – My “Tin Foil” Theory

Published November 4, 2016 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hello Westworld Crew,
I love the your show and it’s a lot of fun throwing around the viewers and your ideas about the show. After watching episode 5, I have my own Tin Foil theory.

To me, it seems like everyone is really caught up on wondering when the Hosts will rise up and start killing off all of the Guests. I think this is all backwards. Much like in the Walking Dead the real people to look out for are the living.

The Man in Black wants a game with real consequences, which many of us interpret as the Hosts being able to kill the Guests. This, to me, would be if not only if hosts could kill guests but mainly if guests could kill guests as well.

I also believe that the Man in Black and William and Logan’s storylines are running concurrently. I think that William and Logan will beat the Man in Black to the Maze and this will enrage the Man in Black so much that he will begin to hunt William and Logan (a call-back to the original movie?) in the Maze, finally culminating in Dolores killing the Man in Black while defending William.
I know how pissed I would be if I have been trying to solve a riddle for 30 years and someone new just comes around and lucks into the answer before me.

Again, great show you guys are putting on. Looking forward to the full cast and Telegraph episodes.
Thank you, – Jonathan
