Which raises the question of how a cowboy outlaw knows how to operate an autoloading gun, as opposed to the single-action revolvers we have seen on the show. Maybe it was part of his upgrade by Maeve.

It's just hard to believe that two people whose job it is to patch up bullet holes would have the access or know how to print a whole new host. And with no one noticing. Security there really sucks (or Ford is behind it all, which seems to be the case)

Having his hands tied makes it very suspicious. It's not just "death by misadventure." Some other person had to have tied his hands. He would not have been able to mount a horse with his hands tied, either.

Am I to understand that Felix and Sylvester printed Maeve a new body and had to somehow transfer her entire "mind" into it and they never thought of just not doing it once she was incapable of moving?

We see Bernard grab Elsie, but not a neck snap. When William first got to Westworld and was met coming off of the train, going up the escalator, he said he understood he couldn't be hurt. Angela tells him he can be hurt "only the right amount." So, I figure that not being able to have a human be (seriously) hurt was already in the programming at that time. I don't understand who was leading the horde of undead hosts from the cold storage area. Was that just Ford's doing that they would return and attack, or was it Maeve who re-animated them?

There is a similar "trick" going on if it is later revealed that when Dolores stumbles into William's camp and collapses that that did not happen after she fled her farm, as we were just shown. If she stumbles in 30 years prior to the escape from her farm, and it wandering alone at night for some reason we are not given, I will feel cheated/tricked in a cheap way.

I think the Westworld land is kind of rough for a shirt to last that long. But I can accept that they are the same style of shirt, as you say.

Are you suggesting that that is a 30 year old shirt?

The "headgear" is supposed to be terrifying.

I don't see how that can be concluded. If William is MiB and he marries Logan's sister, I don't see how their child ends up non-white. I mean, sure Logan's sister could be adopted and of another race, but I don't see why one would assume that given no evidence.

Very good work on the timelines. Yes, there must be at least three, cause of Dolores' flashbacks of the town with the church. One minor point though. Logan talks about his company increasing their stake in Westworld. They must already be invested when he visits with William. Ford lets the "money men" in sometime before that visit. They very well may increase their stakes afterwards.

OK. I thought you meant the other scene with Elsie and the "necro perv" technician. He definitely didn't know anything about anything.

Maybe it was night? During the day, when guests are about the park, she may be killed and repaired numerous times in quick fashion. If this was her final "death" of the day, the pace and monitoring maybe more leisurely.

I don't remember any mention of being able to erase the records.

Why do you think Teddy was "one of Arnold's?"

Elsie's shaming of the other technician for having sex seems to argue against that proposition. That's how she blackmailed him into letting her examine the woodcutter.

Why aren't there security cameras all over the "operations" areas of the company. We know that the "butchers" can get away with having sex with the hosts, play with birds and get held with knives to their throats and no one even notices. And all the walls are glass! Fire the guy in charge of security first.

If I were making a race of robot hosts, I wouldn't bother with different blood types.

When Dolores is with William in Pariah, she sees the little girl at the fountain. The girl says "don't you remember?" The Church is now where they have orgies. It seems that whatever event happened (robot uprising?) was before her time with William.

The logo thing is intriguing, and I hadn't seen any mention of it until yesterday. Then again, we see Dolores having a history with MiB in the barn before she flees and ends up at William and Logan's camp. If that's a misdirection, I'd be disappointed. That she leaves the farm on horseback 30 years after she showed up at the camp. What are we to make of Dolores hallucinating? remembering? pulling a string from her arm? Like Elsie found in the woodcutter who had a satellite uplink transmitter in his arm. Was/is Dolores implanted as well? By whom for what? (Anyone noted that "Dolores" refers to "sorrow"? Which matches being the damsel who get attacked every day for sure.) This show reminds me of Carnivale, in that there is so much going on and so many theories about what it all means. I'm enjoying the ride and hope it ends up somewhere. I hate it when writers don't have a plan.

I believe Delores and the others have run through their loops multiple times and that is what her "flashbacks" represent. Different outcomes form different iterations. You can say the same about MiB, who is obviously playing like a video game. He knows what is going to happen and, for example, how many bullets he will need, because he's come this way before. He is even impatient with the idea of riding with the gang to free Hector and wants to use his pyrotechnic privileges to move along faster. But I don't see why I'm supposed to believe William grows up to become MiB or that these events are decades apart. I'm open to being wrong, but I doubt it right now.

Or say "something is afoot at the Circle K."

Bill S. Preston, Esq. Is "Logan" really the character's last name?

And why would he need to cut a host's scalp off to learn a clue about a maze, if he knew about the maze 30 years ago?

Not buying any "two timelines" theory either. What we do have is androids (like Delores and Maeve) remembering things that happened on previous loops. Stuff they should not be able to remember. These characters run through the same loops. When Delores is confronted with the bandits, she remembers, being shot, then she runs away this time. Maeve remembers being a mother and being attacked by natives. In that sense there are multiple timelines that we see glimpses into. But as for a story, no, I don't see why people think MiB and William are not contemporaneous.
