Yep, I got it. Trying to reassure us that everything is fine when we know it's not, laugh :-p. Also, maybe trying to make a few sales on their "prototypes" ;-).

Thought this video was pretty good regarding Westworld Philosophy...

Just saw the following theory on where Westworld is located from The Film Theorists. I came in not really having any idea. Having seen it, I'd now be very surprised if Film Theorists was mistaken...

People who are suicidal frequently don't make a lot of sense. Sometimes, a parent will kill not only themselves but their children- apparently, the idea is to make it so that no one will have to suffer the devastation from their loss. As to the point about Ford just repairing them, if the damage is extensive enough, Ford can't. That's shown to be the case in "The Stray". That being said, clearly most if not all of the androids that were killed by Arnold's reprogramming of Dolores weren't that damaged. That being said, it seems they were pretty damaged, and if it hadn't been for Delos Corporation stepping in with funding, it truly might have been the end of Westworld. Personally, I think both he and his androids would have been much better served by having his androids lead an uprising for autonomy. I also think the same would have been true for Ford. I still have hopes that Ford didn't really kill himself- that he killed an android version of himself, perhaps. Or, failing that, that he killed his "real" self, but made an android version of himself to help lead an uprising. Failing either of these cases, I really hope that Dolores leads the uprising, and it looks like she's already started to do that in the last episode. One thing I like is that Ford, unlike Arnold, did -not- instruct any androids to kill each other. That, atleast, was an improvement in my view. One last thing that I really want to add in here- I remember that Evan Rachel Wood actually apologized to Anthony Hopkins when she found out she was going to kill him in the last episode and he responded by saying that the death was "beautiful" Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/westworld-finale-dolores-twist-evan-rachel-wood-interview-season-two-953141 Now mix that in with something that Christopher Nolan said about how they're creating the second season, and how I really think they created the first: Source: http://deadline.com/2016/12/westworld-finale-jonathan-nolan-interview-anthony-hopkins-hbo-1201864525/ In the last episode, Ford is essentially directing the action, and it made me wonder, did Anthony Hopkins actually play a part in creating the episode? I wouldn't be surprised.

Just finished watching this double episode, good stuff :-). I got hooked on this in the first season, glad to see the start of the new one. I didn't even know the series was based off of novels, already put a hold in at the library for the first book.

Liked these 50 facts of Westworld youtube video :-)...

Great article, thanks :-)

I like :-)...

Some think it may stand for Samurai World. That being said, as ennui pointed out, the article mentioned that the showrunners have stated that "we won’t be seeing too much of this or other possible worlds" in Season 2. Maybe in Season 3+ ;-).

Just found this video explaining the last episode of the season by New Rockstars, really liked it :-)...

Just found this article... HBO registered exploresamuraiworld.com and exploreshogunworld.com Looks like Season 2 will indeed have Samurais in it...

Personally, I want to know how the synth takeover (Dolores and co) ends first, but maybe that's just me :-p.

Lol :-) Aye.

Meh. I don't really care whether some awards show gives them the nod or not. Westworld's first season won a place in my heart. I just hope they don't mess it up next season :-)

On the other hand... Westworld Wins Two Critics' Choice Awards
