Hi, sorry to hijack your thread again but your impersonator really loves Westworld and he’s back in my replies (exactly the same rant on AVClub and io9 posts - https://io9.gizmodo.com/1842963441

Thanks. I do think William is either the storage for the data itself or at least contains the decryption keys to the data. I think Dolores put something in him in the Forge. Something that allowed her to give him hallucinations of Emily and let her speak to him in his mind.

That was my first thought to but then I started to wonder if it may also came from Dolores being too good at being Charlotte. I mean she has information on her from her book which, as we already know, is much better than Rehoboam’s information. And then she also saw that video real Charlote made but Serac’s system had…

We know what kills a host - destroying their HCU (pearl) like Hale did with Hector. And we also know they are pretty hard to destroy - Connolls’ survived standing next to a bomb just slightly damaged. So yes, those guys burning hosts was a cool visual but seemed like showing “destroying” a computer by breaking the…

I keep wondering do all Dolores have the encryption keys or only Prime? After all Serac wants Hale intact but if all of them have it his Connells pearl should be enough. Maybe Serac wants to go through all of them to make sure he gets the right one.

I don’t think it was random. All of these stories were about choosing paths. About making choice and deciding who you want to be in this big fight. What are you fighting for and on which side.

Damn. I know 81 is good run but it still seems so sudden. He was still acting. He was just on Hap and Leonard and Blindspot. Some of his movies haven’t even come out yet.

Yes, I think whatever he was doing with Francis was more than just a simple personal Rico and Serac made him forget. I think Liam always knew but he was dying at that moment and blamed Liam for it because of what he knew about him.

Also, some of us gave low or no marks to Russia for political reasons despite the obvious merits of their video. So the runaway winner was Iceland because the system wasn’t fair, which, in the grand Eurovision tradition, seems right.

Well, outfits on this show are generally pretty fabulous.

I sure thought her character would amount to more. It ended up being a kind of boring cameo.

They killed Kenny!

Yes, Bernard kept talking to Connells about what Dolores’s plans are and how Connells doesn’t have to follow them. Bernard kept referring to Dolores in third person like he wasn’t talking to her even though Connells revealed who was inside him last episode. Like the plan only belonged to the original-look-Dolores not…

They said last week Genre drug would make the world black and white. I didn’t expect it to happen so literally. But then I didn’t expect the name of the drug to be so literal either. Still, Westworld always loved to play with movie genres and this way it could fit so many in one episode. Tailored to the moment…

At first I thought Engerraund (it’s time it start using his first name since his brother is Serac too and doesn’t have the first name but it’s not easy) was telling this story to Maeve but he was clearly talking to Rehoboam itself. But soon it became clear these were the files on him Dolores was watching. And then…

No, as far we know she can’t. She probably knows how since she’s also the head of Delos but making those is likely much harder than making the bodies so creating the right lab may not be easy. They still would have a use of making bodies as that allows for creating new cover identities - basically body swapping. Like…

Yes, but one of those 5 pearls was Bernard so she was left with 4. This means there can be 5 Dolores in total (4 pearls plus Hale she left as). We know the whereabouts of 4 Doloreses and Bernard so there is 1 pearl unaccounted for.

Dolores always wanted the hosts to get Delos-independent way of making themselves. It’s part of the plan to be free. But of course the bodies are the easy part. It’s the HCU that are going to take some effort to reproduce.

That’s a great idea. I didn’t think of that. I thought she just wanted to take Maeve’s pearl but replacing her with herself and then going back to Serac that would be perfect for her plan. Dolores would finally get to the man she’s been looking for all this time and he’d be none the wiser.

I missed that but in the hindsight it was another clue. This is exactly what she said at the end of last season. I just didn’t expect her to take it so literally.
