She's not their property; they have no right to make a unilateral decision to 'retire' her. It's like the guys working in service at a Lamborghini dealership. How do you think it would go over with management if they suddenly decided that one of the Lamborghinis on the lot was evil, and they had to permanently disable…

Yeah, except…I wonder how this is going to figure into the search for Elsie (although with Bernard being a host, I guess he can be made to forget about needing to do that quite easily). We were told that Elsie had gone on her leave. But she wasn't able to be located within the park with scanners. So is it normal to…

I think someone has to first say to him "These violent delights have violent ends." That's the trigger phrase.

We still don't know where Dolores ran after shooting her rapist. They didn't have the camera stay with her continuously from the moment she left the barn until she arrived at William's camp. I'm pretty sure there were shenanigans played with cutting between the timelines there.

Neat. That middle part looks like a mirrored building reflecting flags.

Reverse that: player piano.

Never met any actors, then?

Thanks, I'd never seen that. Really good!

But we don't really know anything about the outside world. So it's not clear whether Sylvester (the "slimy guy") can indeed just get another job. Some fans have speculated that this is a Gattaca-like situation, in which you are literally *born* to do the thing you do.

But it seems like the employees are also prisoners of a sort; no one commutes in to Westworld and then back home at the end of the day. They seem to live there for a period of employment. That's what Bernard implied in his conversation with his wife (or rather, his "wife") anyway. Of course, as with many other things,…

Listen, I'm as much a linguistic purist as the next person, but you simply cannot impose rules like that on names. People can create whatever they want as a name, and there's no right or wrong spellings. I mean, if you are a woman who spells her name "Dolores," then "Delores" would indeed be incorrect. But to tell…

Ha, I would upvote this three times if that were possible.

I think you're incorrect. Bernard didn't ask Ford that when he entered the cottage, because Bernard didn't even know Ford was *there* at that point. Bernard looked at Ford's 'dad' and said to *him* (the dad robot), "Are you…Arnold?"

I jumped up off the couch and shouted when I saw him. It's pretty cool if the movie exists in the same universe as the show. I can't believe Zack didn't mention it.

Hosts also aren't supposed to be able to wake themselves out of sleep mode, or remember previous repair sessions. This host has already exceeded its brief, and obviously can do things that other hosts can't. How could Sylvester know for sure that Maeve wasn't able to hurt him?

I'm only a few dozen messages in at this point (busy time for me; I'm an election worker), but I'm hoping and assuming I am not the only one who saw Yul Brynner's Gunslinger in the lower-level room where Bernard accessed the legacy system, right?

Yes, there are people who spell it that way, including a civil rights activist from the early twentieth century, C. Delores Tucker. I assume the creators chose the "Dolores" spelling because of its relation to the word for "pain" or "sorrow" in several languages.

That certainly wasn't ALL areas of that tremendous facility. He walked her around in three or four different places, clearly all places to which he had access.

Glad I'm not the only one who read through this review thinking about cartoon cats.

No, that's how they refer to the hosts. You can even find it in some of the online in-universe materials about the park.
