Just finished Westworld and this is very much an awesome and worthwhile series to check out. It is also less graphic than Game of Thrones, though it still has it's fair share of violence and nudity. I notice a lot of the kill shots are cut away. It may be a style choice, or even due to the nature of the show trying to surprise you and leave you in suspense. My favorite twist was definitely the one involving the "Man in Black" as they call him. Though all of the twists were delightful and surprising.
Ending has me wondering where they go from here, leaves you wondering, but not is a Walking Dead cliff-hanger sort of way.
1) Will the hosts rebel and basically claim themselves as a nation/state/free people (and are all of the humans in that gathering dead or captured)? And because of this, I got to ask where the facility is located? On an island? In a big city? On a moon or different planet? Something even more grand than that?
2) And What of SamuraiWorld? Is it active and fully operational (and if so, are there even more worlds than these)? Or is it still in the testing/development phases? If there are multiple worlds, could we see the hosts from each world become independent factions/nations that fight among themselves? Who runs this world? Are there separate leaders for each world? If so, were Ford and Arnold involved? Or could there be another creator? There was a third person in that old photo Ford showed Bernard. Was that the person now over SamuraiWorld?
3) What happened to William's brother-in-law? And does William survive that final scenario?
4) I don't think that Ford is necessarily dead. He could have built himself a host. There WAS a body baing made in Ford's secret lad when Bernard was revealed to be a host.
5) Speaking of #4, if Bernard was aware of the secret transmission spot, why did he kill his agent out there? It was implied that Ford gave the order, but why? I'm not convinced it was an order from Ford. something else could have been at play there.
Thoughts?
