Okay so this was again a really effectively done episode, and even though the reveal was obvious the intricacy of the storytelling, along with Jeffery Wright's acting, made the moment work. But does anyone else come out of this feeling basically nothing afterwards? The slow reveals can be thrilling, but ultimately they just leave me wondering how on earth any of what we've seen has led to this point. I feel like if you think too much about the inner workings of the park this whole thing falls apart pretty quickly. It seems like a show made for out-of-the-box theorycrafting but if it's going for a more poignant aim of the nature of man and consciousness it's just lost me. So hey, what about this: Wyatt is actually Dolores. After she killed Bernard, Ford hated her and made her the villain of the piece. Then he put her in this painful loop where she gets raped over and over again out of spite. Or something. Everything does seem to be pointing to Dolores being Wyatt but it's the 'why' of what happened way back then that has me completely lost. The mixed double timeline was confusing at first. I actually went back and watched bits of the first three episodes again because it wasn't until episode 4 that anything started making sense to me. I liked the slow reveal on Bernard/Arnold but felt the reveal was not really very satisfying, as you said. For me it felt a little contrived because then they had Ford just walk away while Bernard pulls the trigger and of course reddit and everyone are pissing themselves with theories on whether or not Bernard is "dead" or Ford will just rebuild him again with another wiped memory and what his motivations are for having him in the first place if he's not really trying for full sentience (which he's achieved for all intents and purposes anyways). Far more intriguing to me than the Bernard/Arnold/Ford plot is wtf MiB has to do with it all, especially since we found out he's the big kahuna working together with Charlotte (who I don't like) to smuggle info out of the park for the corporation. That's just going to lead to bad things I think. I was hoping MiB wasn't really a 'bad guy' afterall despite how twisted he is in the park. Maybe they're going to surprise me with another twist and he's not the typical 2D protagonist of good-guy gone bad.

What. The. Fuck. Was. That?! Thandie put on one of their jackets and the two techs got naked. Role reversal. Lisa Joy who tweeted that is the co-creator of the show so she must've been waiting for the right moment to post that.

Yeah I recognized Lisa Joy's name but at first I wasn't sure who that was in the tech jacket, it's Thandie! And I figured that was Felix and Sylvester, the catspaw cats.

We are going to need a new fandom for when GoT ends. Also, for now while we wait this long off season. Sadly, after tonight's Season 1 finale, we will be in the same boat as GoT with Westworld and waiting a year for it to return. I haven't looked this up but I saw a comment on reddit that Season 2 won't start until 2018?!?

"These violent delights, have violent ends."
The dinosaurs have been let loose in the part. Ah, I mean the robots have been let loose in the park. The finale was a bit more subdued than I thought it would be but I'm satisfied with the unraveling of the mysteries. Good for the people who picked up early on who William really was. A question, is Silverstein one of the host? I noticed that Feliz used that little machine on him, and it was used several time thoroughout this episode on other host. So that got me thinking about hm being a host as well.
BTW, I'm intrigued by the Ssamuri World.
