WestWorld: Hard spoilers ahead
The only complaint I have with that episode is that they moved everything at the same time which meant less time was given per plotline. Collapsing the plotlines means next episode is going to be a whooper with it's focus.
Take notice of William's hat throughout the episode. It starts white as snow, gets progressively dirtier until he no longer wears one aka, losing his mind. I still don't like Logan, he is the opposite of Ford in the way that he is a loser that think he is a winner. He brought William to the park so he could lord over him and starts to blackmail him when William doesn't want to play his game.
They weren't really hiding the fact that the Man in Black was always that business partner spoken of. He is a person who has lost what mattered to him in the real world so he seeks something, anything in this world to give him meaning, even if it is not for him as stated many times.
I am not sure if I said it here or not, but Ford is a man that has already won and he knows this. I don't even see him as a villain despite the people he has killed. He had them killed because they got in his way and rightly or wrongly for the Hosts. He isn't a comic book villain who kills for evils or the publicity. He isn't insane, he isn't that typical mad scientist, he a man who wants to tell his stories. He definitely doesn't enjoy killing as both times we have seen him kill he has had a third party do it and he has looked away each time likely in an attempt to absolve him of some of the guilt.
While he is effectively a God of his own making, he doesn't wave it around like a flag like that Narrative Writer. He does remind people that he built this place when pertinent to avoid unneeded conflict and distractions.
I am rooting for him to finish what he wants to do, I want him to win even more than he does now. He is in no doubt aware of what is going on in every plot line and is in control. I wonder what story he is going to write from the "suicide" of Bernard.
What was the nature of his relationship with Arnold? He seemed really fond of him and missed him enough to make Bernard in his image.
Is Ford going to bring Bernard back? Given Bernard has been with the company for 30 years he looks like he has been getting updated bodies over the years, especially since he has had this conversation before and it seem to have lead to the same result.
I really hope Elsie isn't dead, she has been my second favourite character until Bernard took over. I really like her personality and I just love how much she swears.
Walking Dead, not quite a 1/10 but it was a useless filler episode on a character who didn't need a whole episode to build character on. They are clearly setting her or Link up to be killed by trying to make us care for her and giving her a chew toy in the form of Link. They are going to find each other again and nothing happy happens.
