Yeah me too. He was the only one having flash backs and "calls to a wife" like the hosts

What bothered me was Ford had an English accent as a kid, he now has a Welsh accent but his dad has a Scottish accent.

Also, I want to point out Maeve is an Irish name

Yeah that's a great analogy tbh, and it's a great way of really making you root for the Hosts. Even the ones who play a more villainous role in the park, I still feel for them because they're only doing what they're being made to do rather than being malicious by choice like a lot of the humans are.

I always thought Ford's accent was English (I know Anthony Hopkins is Welsh but I thought he was doing an English accent in this)

..yeah, you can't dislike them really because they're programmed in their actions but it's interesting how it's starting to turn and how they're starting to have 'memories' and how they're attaching and associating human emotion with those memories, like sadness and loss etc...in contrast to very little emotion being shown with the creators...that scene where he covered her up showed a respect and emotion but then it was just stripped away very coldly and more 'robotic' being starting to be shown by the creators as they're starting to become each other and the opposite of what is meant to be, I think...do you think also Lostie that it has a touch of The Truman Show with it as well...it's really reminding me a lot of that as well and one of my favourite movies of all time...

Oh Anthony can't hide his Welshness too well then

I've only seen bits and pieces of The Truman Show but from what I know of it, it definitely seems reminiscent for sure with people unknowingly living out a fiction and being watched at all times. I believe Ed Harris was in that movie too so that's a nice little crossover

[Lostie!]

Episode 7 is being hyped up on Twitter by the cast and HBO as a big one so my already high expectations are even higher now

[Ammi]

...ughhh Lostie, hold me...I finally got around to watching a catch up of this week's episode last night because I haven't had time to keep up this week...but I fell asleep and only saw a small bit......Maeve though, I'm quite falling in love with her, I loved her storyline this week../well the bit I saw anyway...I also love how they're showing balance to the man in black's character and also was that a whole episode without Kenny getting killed or did I miss that..?..and the reverse contrast to Anthony Hopkins character in that he felt a bit creepy../a bit darker...I'll have to try to do a catch up again before the next episode...

Yeah I'm so into Maeve's whole story, such a good character

I just watched episode 7

Spoiler:

Really cool to have the Bernard theory confirmed, the clues were there so I was hoping they'd do it. Ford having him murder Theresa though I've read a theory that Ford will have a robot version of Theresa created (perhaps the one that was being made during that scene) to cover up her death. I'd like this since it would keep Sidse Babett Knudsen around (and the idea of Ford having people killed and secretly replacing them with robot clones is terrifying Body Snatcher levels of sinister so I'd love it ). Also I haven't seen Futureworld but I believe that's part of the plot so it would be a cool reference to the lesser-known sequel

Clementine being lobotomized I hope she isn't gone for good

Maeve slamming the piano shut was such a brilliant little moment in reflecting how she's truly done with living out that same loop. I can't wait for the Maevolution

Ford is so sinister at this point but I absolutely love him, such a compelling character. I've had a bad feeling all season that he'll die in the finale just because I'm not sure how long Anthony Hopkins will want to stick around in a continuing TV series in the event that it gets a second season but I really hope not.

[Firewire]

Renewed for s2

[Lostie!]

Omg finally

Although

Westworld may not return until 2018 as HBO renews the show for a second season

Still, I'll take that over cancellation

Have you been watching, Jonathan?

[Firewire]

Not yet but I've downloaded them all

Just haven't had a chance to sit down and watch

[arista]

I love Barnard.

[Lostie!]

This little video they released with the Season 2 renewal is so odd

Youtube video

[Lostie!]

*hasn't seen The Goonies either*

Definitely will watch The Truman Show in full sometime though, the whole concept is something I'd probably love.

[arista]

Westworld renewed for season two after year hiatus
http://news.sky.com/story/westworld-...iatus-10658440


Sorry if already posted


Life In The Fast Lane

[Lostie!]

The year break is a shame but I shouldn't be surprised, the pilot was filmed 2 years ago

If they want to take the extra time to make the show as good as possible then it's worth it I suppose, a return in 2 years is better than none at all

[Niamh.]

Was that the last episode just gone?

[Lostie!]

No 3 left and then no more until 2018 though.

Have you seen episode 7?

[arista]

Episode 7
a Top Episode.

Season 2
14 months away
that's great,
as its Quality First,

I agree in the story that Hopkins
has TOTAL control (ref :ep. 8)
as the CEO.

[Niamh.]

Oh you gave me a fright there 2 year wait though? whaaaat?

Yeah i watched Ep 7, I could see that coming with Bernard, his flash backs were a give away I think. Maeve

[Lostie!]

I've read another theory that Bernard is a physical recreation of Arnold and the scenes of his secret chats with Dolores are actually flashbacks of Arnold. The room he's in when he's talking to Dolores is pretty identical to the room Theresa died in and people have pointed out that when Ford showed him the picture of him and Arnold, the second man actually looked like Ford's father and there was a part of the picture obscured, if Bernard was modeled after Arnold then he physically wouldn't be able to see him in the picture.

And it's been mentioned more than once that Bernard wasn't there when the first generation Hosts and Arnold were, maybe because he was only made after Arnold died because he's based on him?

Oh interesting I didn't really notice that about the room

[Lostie!]

Neither did I tbh, I have Reddit to thank for all of my theories

Bernard did say there are more like it around the facility so it could be put down to that but, when combined with the other things I honestly think it was an intentional clue. And another I just thought of, we've had those mentions of Bernard not being around during the early days but then Bernard had that joke with Elsie when he said "Like you say, I've been here forever". In a way, he sort of has if he's based on one of the founders of Westworld
