\"Westworld<\/a>

Have a Theory? Share It Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div> Hey Hosts,<\/p>\n

Happy final westworld week! I am writing about a few points made in the instacast. <\/p>\n

I don\u0092t think the writers made Halores instantly good. She was always \u0093good\u0094 for being pro-host. She was just vengeful, evil to humans she felt were evil to her. She had good intentions for the hosts and that is the empathy on her part that Bernard tapped into. Clementine is a good example of host public opinion of Halores, and her respect of them. She, MIB and other hosts had the power to disobey Halores. She initially respected when they didn\u0092t want to transcend or when Clem wanted to do her own thing in outlierville. When the outlier \u0093disease\u0094 was brought to the forefront Clementine was \u0093supposed to be enjoying herself\u0094 in her free time as MIB was in his world. They were free in her world and enjoyed it so much they didn\u0092t want to transcend. They wanted to follow her! <\/p>\n

Only outliers, Cerac, the mega-rich humans who were free to visit westworld and those hosts in the know of real human nature pre-rohoboam (Bernard\/Maeve) would think she was evil. For average humans she\u0092s just the next level of rohoboam, as they had always been controlled in this story. We perceive her as the \u0091big bad\u0092 here but cheered her as Dolores shooting her way out of Westworld (or even as Early Halores smuggling those OG Dolores pearls out of the park). It\u0092s us who changed, not her. <\/p>\n

Original Dolores and Haleores only diverged once they discovered that the average human was essentially enslaved and not all were \u0093evil\u0094. OG Delores empathizes with humans which would make Caleb and his relationship with OG Dolores key to the story. I don\u0092t think this story is only about questioning \u0093what is being alive?\u0094 But also \u0093what is good?\u0094 The writers needed Halores to make Dolores good again. <\/p>\n

Regarding Caleb leaving his daughter, in addition to being tracked, these hybrids don\u0092t die they just go bonkers like Delos did in season 2. Remember when they found that old forgotten copy of James Delos spinning himself crazy in that room? They don\u0092t die until destroyed. It made perfect sense that Caleb would want to protect C from having to kill him, not to mention protecting her last memories of him. <\/p>\n

What bothers me is how Caleb breaks down like Delos did (stubs even mentioned to Caleb that hybrids still don\u0092t \u0093take\u0094) but host William \u0093took\u0093 and doesn\u0092t seem to break down? <\/p>\n

I\u0092m also annoyed we didn\u0092t get to know what transcendence for hosts was..only that it was supposed to be a better existence than the sublime. It does make sense that it requires them to shed their human form..as hailores did at her end. Perhaps it was them living in their true form. A bunch of floating pearls coexisting peacefully. Maybe that\u0092s why no host wanted to go haha. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u0092m rocking till the end of the cast because I do appreciate what you all do, even if we enjoy the show differently these days. <\/p>\n

Take care!<\/p>\n
