SEASON 4 Episode 5


Here's part of an interesting REVIEW where they suggest Christina's ROOMMATE who's been having NIGHTMARE's may become one of the OUTLIERS who'll get HUNTED DOWN or whatever Hale decides to do with HOSTS that go insane:

https://www.ign.com/articles/westworld-season-4-episode-5-review-zhuangzi

the people who break free of the virus are hunted down as part of a game within a game. But they, either with their words or some other frequency that transmits from their shattered mind (Hale thinks there's a new virus), they can make the hosts goes nuts too (and take their own robot life), so they're a double-pronged danger. William makes the mistake of listening to an outlier and now he's losing it, talking to real, cold-storage William about the meaning of life. Of course, there could be an outlier virus but the point here is the humanizing of the hosts and the idea that all sentient life questions reality, even if they actually know, for a fact, who created them. After all, origin is one thing and purpose is another.

The endgame is starting to form; as the rebels free outliers and excavate Maeve, Caleb remains on the inside as the 247th version of himself, Christina secretly uncovers truths about the world and herself, and William is poised and ready up to splinter off from Hale in a way she didn't/couldn't anticipate. It would be nice, too, if Oscar winner Ariana DeBose had more to do as Maya, Christina's roommate. She's been having nightmares, so maybe an outlier breakdown is in her future.


But is this ROOMIE a HOST or HUMAN???

Whatever the case may be, it will also be interesting to see what her reaction will be if she also discovers CHRISTINA's the one who's been WRITING her STORY.

And it's also STRANGE how VERY LITTLE we know about her ROOMIE or what her STORY is supposed to be, especially after having also watched approximately 5 HOURS worth of this S4 story !!!

It was a interesting episode. Seems turnabout is fair play, now some of the humans are becoming resistant to the virus/parasites & in turn they’re infecting their host counterparts with some form of a virus that’s making them destroy themselves. If you’re observant the phrase “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” should come to mind as enslaved humanity finds it’s developing a tolerance to the flys/parasites/mind control.

So my question is am I to understand that Christina (Dolores) is the one who truly enslaved both humans & hosts? Forget about Hale, that it was HER who wrote the story the way it is now whether she was aware of it or not? Was this the BIG reveal of this episode? That Christina is really in charge even though we see Charlotte try to catch her off guard. I’m just guessing to see what you think.

It’s interesting to see William still alive & to see that it wasn’t the best thing for the host MIB to do by talking to him. Why wouldn’t Hale build safeguards to prevent anyone from thawing him out to talk to him? Host MIB is such a SOB that it makes no sense that he’d react & lose his composure to human William. But that’s just me. Seems out of character.

reply

Even more curious is WHY HALE would even ALLOW the MiB HOST to thaw out William when she also KNOWS what can happen.

You'd think she'd also have the same kind of CONTROLS over the FROZEN BODY of WILLIAM as she has on CHRISTINA that alert her whenever Christina does a search that indicates her memory of the past is coming back.

So maybe it's the BOREDOM that she talks about in the DANCE scene that causes her to seek out this kind of DRAMA???

Maybe she's also as SUICIDAL as some of the other HOSTS eventually become???

Here's an interesting article that covers the HISTORY of DOLORES:

In Defense of the Unlikeable Heroine at the Heart of Westworld

https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/hbo/westworld-season-3-episode-4-dolores-explained/#:~:text=Dolores%20Abernathy%20is%2C%20ostensibly%2C%20Westworld%20%E2%80%99s%20primary%20character%2C,to%20be%20the%20heroine%20of%20her%20own%20story.


Dolores is smart, brave, and determined; a woman who wants nothing more than to be the heroine of her own story. But she’s also selfish, vengeful, fairly full of herself, and an unrepentant murderer several times over. Her journey involves abuse and violence at every turn, and though she ultimately claws her way to sentience and agency, Westworld never lets her forget the cost of what it means to be “other.”


Her story is one that reflects the complex nature of humanity in general—in Westworld there are no good guys, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something. Dolores may be the heroine of this story, but she’s also a character who can be extremely difficult to like. Her morals are questionable, her motivations unclear. Her goals are complex and messy—and often feel totally at odds with the character we once expected Dolores to become.

When we first meet Dolores in Westworld Season 1, she’s a literal archetype of a damsel in distress: Sweet, beautiful, and nonthreatening. She’s literally incapable of hurting a fly. (Until she isn’t.) She’s the heroine we’re all conditioned to root for in shows like this: a victimized young woman discovering her power, who eventually defies the oppressive systems that have been keeping her in chains (or predetermined park loops, in this instance). She decides to write her own narrative, and viewers everywhere were ready to cheer her on. (Until they weren’t.)

As her story continues, and Dolores accrues more power and agency, she becomes an increasingly dark figure within Westworld’s narrative. As Wyatt, Dolores begins gathering an army, with the intent of not only overthrowing the entirety of the Delos park she was born in, but getting revenge on everyone she feels has wronged her along the way. She becomes an avenging angel of sorts, murdering hosts and humans alike and destroying the Westworld supercomputer known as The Forge along the way.

she becomes increasingly less sympathetic. She shows little remorse for any of her actions—even when they result in death—and she manipulates others with a cruelty that feels far removed from the sweet-as-sugar farmgirl we met back in Season 1.

When Westworld Season 3 begins, Dolores is in a new location and on a new mission, ostensibly working to bring about an uprising amongst the lower classes that humanity’s algorithms have left behind.

there’s nothing about Dolores’ behavior that suggests her plan to take control of super AI Rehoboam is in any way altruistic. In fact, even her insistence that she’s working to build a better future for her “species” turns out to be false.

The mid-season revelation in “The Mother of Exiles” that Dolores hasn’t saved anyone, that the remaining host “pearls” she retrieved from the park are just replicated copies of her own consciousness, is a shocking one. After all, aren’t heroes supposed to save others? Aren’t designated good characters supposed to care about people beyond themselves? Instead, Dolores has not only blatantly put her needs ahead of literally everyone else’s, she’s abandoned the very people she spent most of Season 2 insisting that she would save.

she is allowed to be as awful and selfish as any of the series’ male leads, most notably William, Ford, and Bernard. She’s killed people? So have they. She’s behaved selfishly and cruelly? Check and check. She’s motivated almost solely by her own desires? Well, so are they.

We don’t know precisely what Dolores’ grand plan is yet, nor do we entirely understand what she has cloned herself to do. Is she somehow trying to save her fellow hosts and/or create a space for them in the real world? Or is she attempting to remake that world (literally) in her own image?

reply

Christina cannot possibly write her roommate story. It would be too obvious for Christina and she would realize that she is the writer a while back.

reply

YES that's also what I was thinking as well.

So WHO else would write that STORY???

Is it possible HALE also had a way to WIPE the mind of Christina clean after Christina wrote it???

Because she also wrote the story of that other guy named PETER but then didn't remember having done it.



reply

Here's another weird idea lol. Maybe no one is actually writing these stories. Maybe the narratives of all these lives are just being borrowed from the consciousness of the real lives of humans who've since died (or were enslaved/trapped, Matrix-style or something). So the reason that characters such as the roommate are having dream-like flashbacks of flies swarming is because she's remembering a meant-to-be-blocked part of her past human-life narrative (the last part) that she wasn't meant to be remembering (perhaps something triggered it that's giving her self-awareness or perhaps Christina's own growing self-awareness is effecting the entire system).

Maybe this place has something to do with Rehoboam (which included a lot of data about all the humans and predictions of their future). And Christina's god-like presence in this world has something to do with the fact that Dolores died while connected to it.

reply

The way we keep seeing Christina WAKE UP the same way as DOLORES did, reminds one of the way in which each time Dolores woke up her MIND had been WIPED and she did the same thing again that she'd done before (which was also made evident to us when they found all of those PAINTINGS she'd done that were all of the same exact scene).

So if HUMANS are also doing the SAME kind of LOOPS, then yes they might also be doing the LOOPS of real life humans, because how can a HOST be creative and make up stories when the only thing that they've ever done is to follow the NARRATIVE story that's been programed into them or onto their TABLET.

When Dolores was in the FORGE she also read the CODE BOOKS of GUEST that were kept there, and she said HUMANS also have patterns of behavior or CODES the same as the HOSTS do. So maybe that might also help to explain the reason why she has GOD LIKE powers???

The Forge was a complex laboratory located in Sector 16 of the in Westworld park. The laboratory contained huge servers which stored all the data of the Guests as collected through the hats. It was built by Delos Incorporated, officially as a means to better understand their clients; the secret aim of the project was to gather enough i…

The truth is that a human is just a brief algorithm.
Ten thousand, two hundred forty-seven lines.

Is that all there was to him? They are deceptively simple.
Once you know them, their behavior is quite predictable.

LOGAN: I recreated every single guest who ever set foot in the park.
Most of them are soft They waver between love and and pride.
Of course, there are the exceptions, the ones who are irredeemable.
But none of them are truly in control of their actions.







reply

"Maybe no one is actually writing these stories." - nope, she literally "wrote the story" real time, changing how people reacted.

reply

Since HOSTS only do whatever NARRATIVE STORY is programed for them to do on their TABLETS, one would think someone would need to WRITE whatever it is that they're doing.

Right???

And if the story takes place in REAL TIME, then how could Christina control MILLIONS of people all at the SAME TIME???

Because doesn't the population of NYC also have about 8 MILLION people in it???

Christina Controlling the minds of those 2 people who were sitting on the benches is one thing.

Controlling the minds of EVERYONE is another.

And HALE also seemed to be able to make everyone DANCE, but she also had the help of that TOWER and those FLIES to be able to do it.

reply

Nope.

reply

So you don't think a HOST needs a NARRATIVE STORY to be able to function??

And you think CHRISTINA or DOLORES do what they do without having had anyone program a story onto their TABLETS???

What about DOLORES having the WYATT character programmed into her TABLET by FORD when she attacks everyone back in S2???

So when exactly did the PROGRAMMING STOP???

WHEN did DOLORES begin to be on her own without a NARRATIVE STORY to control what she does???



reply

So you think that someone wrote Dolores/Hale's story to conquer/enslave/wipe humanity???

There are NO tablets anymore. Tablets are just an interface to the controlling infrastructure, NOT the infrastructure.

The programming stopped when they left the first park. But only for some of them. Others are still programed by Hale.

Ford's goal was to have the hosts break the programming and reach their fully potential: to be 100% conscious, human like.

reply

Here's TEDDY in CONTROL of what Christina does whether he has a TABLET or not:

TEDDY:
Let me guess,
your boss breathing down your neck?
Say something came up.
Personal situation.
Then come meet me.

CHRISTINA: - But

TEDDY: - Trust me, Christina.
I'll see you soon.

The BOSS:
Something wrong?

CHRISTINA: No.
Just a
personal situation.

-----------------------

Remember how the season ends with FORD presenting the AUDIENCE with a NEW NARRATIVE (because he wasn't satisfied with the other one that the other writer had written)???

And what we see is a LOVE SCENE on a beach where DOLORES DIES in the arms of TEDDY?

Then after the applause the HOSTS attacked the GUEST, because FORD had programed the WYATT Narrative into the TABLET of DOLORES.

So what IF everything that's happened since then has happened in that same NARRATIVE that FORD wrote? Remember how he also PLOWS under that RESTAURANT to make room for something else??? How he was also busy tearing down LOTS of places in the WESTWORLD PARK to make room for the NEW STORY???

So for that reason I wouldn't be so sure about there not being TABLETS anymore. Because maybe a FUTURE WORLD PARK has taken the place of the WESTWORLD Park? And maybe it's also just an ILLUSION that the GOLDEN AGE PARK is located near the HOOVER DAMN???

So you think DOLORES has controlled herself ever since she left WW while she was disguised inside of the body of HALE???

And IF she isn't CONTROLLED by a TABLET anymore, then Why would she care what FORD's GOAL was or about what he wanted???

Do you also think FORD would have wanted her to SMUGGLE OUT 4 or 5 PEARLS that were all COPIES of herself???

How does doing that help her to reach her FULL POTENTIAL???

Because apparently what it's caused is a WAR with herself (or with the HALE version of herself), which hardly seems like having reached one's FULL POTENTIAL.

🤔

That's NOT Teddy being in control, that's Teddy convincing her to do something. Totally different. You just want to see shit that's not there :D

"So for that reason I wouldn't be so sure about there not being TABLETS anymore."

you still don't get it??? The tablets are irrelevant. To give you an example: a tablet without internet/wi-fi cannot access anything. The tablet doesn't matter, it's just an interface. What matters is the internet. Even if there are tablets ... without connecting them to wi-fi (the internet, the park infrastructure) they are useless.

You're not too technical, are you? :D

"So you think DOLORES has controlled herself ever since she left WW while she was disguised inside of the body of HALE???"

Yup.

"then Why would she care what FORD's GOAL was or about what he wanted???"

who said that she does???


reply

You're right about the NOT TOO TECHNICAL part. 😄

But what's being suggested is that EVERYTHING we've seen (ever since DOLORES DIES in TEDDY's arms) has been a part of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE.

So that also means the TABLETS are still being used the same way as they were before, because FORD also PROGRAMS the NEW NARRATIVE STORIES for the HOST into those TABLETS.

And you're also the one who mentioned what FORD's GOAL was for HIS HOSTS:

Ford's goal was to have the hosts break the programming and reach their fully potential: to be 100% conscious, human like.


But this CHRISTINA version of DOLORES is pretty much ASLEEP at the WHEEL, and the other HALE version of her is BORED.

So they've hardly FULLY REACHED their POTENTIAL.

Have they???

Not when one version of DOLORES is at WAR with another different VERSION of herself.







reply

"So they've hardly FULLY REACHED their POTENTIAL.

Have they???

Not when one version of DOLORES is at WAR with another different VERSION of herself."

Read it again. And again.

If they are the same and preprogramed a certain way why would they be at war with each other? Because they are not preprogramed, are individuals and have their own thoughts and goals. That means that YES, they are are reaching their potential.

reply

BUT what IF this is ALL a PART of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE where he's written it so that DOLORES becomes SPLIT UP into several different versions of herself???

That's what I'm saying.

Maybe EVERYTHING we've been WATCHING ever since DOLORES KILLS FORD (the same EXACT WAY that we also PREVIOUSLY saw her KILL ARNOLD), has been a part of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE.

Also NOTE how the SAME MUSIC was playing at the time when she WALKS around to the BACK of his HEAD and puts a BULLET into it (the same thing as she also did to ARNOLD when she kills him).

And that also happens during another WYATT REVOLUTION.

And WILLIAM was also NOT PREPROGRAMED, but he was also AT WAR with the several different VERSIONS of himself when he's in the MENTAL HOSPITAL.

And what kind of POTENTIAL has he achieved???

Killing his daughter, driving his WIFE to commit SUICIDE, and TORMENTING his Father in LAW by burning up 140 some copies of him is reaching his POTENTIAL???

reply

It's not that she didn't remember, she didn't want to accept it. Sounded too crazy.

Her roommate might be another host who was planted there to supervise Christina if needed.


You always come up with the most crazy theories.

Keep it simple, it's most likely that the writers are keeping things quite simple.

reply

Do you really think the writers keep it simple after the way that they had 2 COMPLETELY different TIME LINES back in S1 where we had the Younger WILLIAM and the MAN in BLACK in the story at the SAME TIME???

That wasn't SIMPLE. That was deliberately CONFUSING for us (at least for me).

And Since we keep seeing Christina WAKE UP the same way as DOLORES use to do in WESTWORD, that's what creates the impression that she might also have her MIND WIPED each night (like they were doing before to DOLORES in WW).

And that would also explain the reason why she didn't remember writing the story for the PETER character who jumps off the building.

But the conversation she had with TEDDY does indicate she remembers things that she probably wouldn't remember if her MIND was being WIPED.

So it's still very CONFUSING exactly what's going on or WHY HALE would want to create CHRISTINA.

And if others are right about TEDDY not really being there and only being inside of the mind of CHRISTINA, that would also be even more CRAZY.

But I think one REVIEW also pointed out how the ROOMMATE also saw him???

But if she IMAGINES TEDDY being there, and he's not really there, then maybe she could also have IMAGINED the ROOMMATE as well???

Hopefully these last 3 EPISODES will reveal to us WTF is going on so that we don't also go CRAZY trying to figure it out.

😉







reply

"That wasn't SIMPLE" - that was actually simple. Smart but simple. Surprising yes but confusing not quite.

"And that would also explain the reason why she didn't remember writing the story for the PETER character who jumps off the building." - no, it's not that she didn't remember. She did but she didn't want to accept as being an insane idea.

reply

When you're confronted with the FACT that the YOUNGER WILLIAM is actually an OLD MAN it was CONFUSING. Because we'd been under the impression that the 2 characters were DIFFERENT PEOPLE, NOT the same person.

When the PETER character keeps calling her on the CELL PHONE saying she's controlling his life she had NO MEMORY of him or of writing about him.

It's only later on that she comes to realize he was right after she reads his OBITUARY and then goes to visit the hospital where they dedicated a WING of it to him.

And even then she's still CONFUSED cas that was done several YEARS ago and they were in the process of tearing down the place.

And it's only after TEDDY tells her to control the 2 people sitting on the BENCHES that she understands how she was also able to control those other people who were there tearing down the hospital and got them to stop what they were doing.

So surely having that kind of POWER will also come in handy if she gets into a BATTLE with HALE. Because HALE needs the TOWER and the FLIES to control others, whereas CHRISTINA can do it with her MIND.

reply

"When you're confronted with the FACT that the YOUNGER WILLIAM is actually an OLD MAN it was CONFUSING. Because we'd been under the impression that the 2 characters were DIFFERENT PEOPLE, NOT the same person."

Maybe for you. For me it wasn't ... I was just "wow, cool, this explains a lot"

"When the PETER character keeps calling her on the CELL PHONE saying she's controlling his life she had NO MEMORY of him or of writing about him."

Because he doesn't give too many details. And it's easy, when fighting between 2 ideas: reality and non-reality, to go with the simplest explanation: he is crazy or at best "coincidence".

"And it's only after TEDDY tells her to control the 2 people sitting on the BENCHES that she understands how she was also able to control those other people who were there tearing down the hospital and got them to stop what they were doing."

Yeah, when put in the face of reality/facts the brain cannot dismiss it that easily (sometimes it does it even then - remember the "it doesn't look like anything to me" phrase???), no surprise here.

reply

Essentially we're watching a LOVE STORY taking place between the YOUNGER WILLIAM and DOLORES. And then we discover DOLORES still looks the SAME AGE as when they met, but William's become an OLD MAN.

It's like watching ROMEO & JULIET only to discover ROMEO isn't a YOUNG MAN anymore and JULIET is still the same attractive young woman.

If you think that's a satisfactory way to tell a LOVE story, then so be it.

And YES it's also easy to go with the simplest explanation (as you put it), but she also didn't have any MEMORY of having written about him (which also seems to indicate her MEMORY of having written his story had been ERASED).

And YES again to the other wonderful point that you raise about the "it doesn't look like anything to me" remark, but wasn't that also a result of the HOST having had their MINDS WIPED each night and of their being CONTROLED to never RECOGNIZE something that whoever had programed them didn't want them to KNOW???

So HOW is she able to face REALITY or FACTS when someone else has also PROGRAMED her NOT to acknowledge it???

NOTE the way her SUPERVISOR appears INSTANTLY the moment she tries to do a search for CHARLOTTE HALE and DOLORES ABERNATHY.

Anytime she approches the TRUTH of the matter or some situation she's almost immediately DIVERTED AWAY from it.

We also saw that happening when she's on her way to that MENTAL HOSPITAL when her BOSS calls her and knew she was on her way to NEW JERSEY.

And then when TEDDY also confronts her with the TRUTH about what's going on she also assumes he's still another STALKER like the PETER character.

So that's also a DEFENSE MECHANISM that one finds in Humans (to try and DENY the TRUTH when one is confronted with it and doesn't like it).

Right???

So maybe the BRAIN can't dismiss it that easily, but it will still try to anyhow???

Can hardly wait to see where this is heading and what will happen in the SEASON FINALE !!!

Do you have any PREDICTIONS for where you think it's heading???


reply

"Do you have any PREDICTIONS for where you think it's heading???"

Nope, I like to be surprised :D

reply

Ok. So what IF we discover at some point that EVERYTHING we've been watching (ever since that SCENE on the BEACH where DOLORES dies in TEDDY's arms) has been a part of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE???

Would that be OK with you???

That the WRITER's have SCREWED around with our MINDS again like they did in S1 where we discovered what we thought was a YOUNG MAN was actually already an OLD MAN???

Because that might also mean the HOSTS are still being controlled by whatever NARRATIVE FORD wrote that's being PROGRAMED into them by way of their TABLETS.

🎹🎠🚂

reply

What if don't discover that???

And it's useless to make this kind of predictions since there is one more season so it will take years for you to actually find out if that prediction is right or not :P

"where we discovered what we thought was a YOUNG MAN was actually already an OLD MAN???"

you're stuck on shit. The young man WAS a young man and the old man WAS an old man. Just that they were the same man at different moments in his life. There's NOTHING strange in that. NOTHING.

" PROGRAMED into them by way of their TABLETS."

You're so stuck on the tablets, lol. Tablets don't matter.

reply

YEARS??? Hopefully NOT !!!

COVID is the reason why we had to wait so long for S4.

The STRANGE PART is how the FEMALE CHARACTER the YOUNG MAN falls in LOVE with STAYS YOUNG while the YOUNG MAN GROWS OLD.

And he also GROWS BITTER and GOES INSANE (like when he KILLS his own daughter because he thought she wasn't HUMAN).

In other words, he'd hung out so long at the PARK that he couldn't tell what was REAL anymore.

Again, IF this has all been a PART of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE (for which he also torn down a lot of the WESTWORLD PARK), then FORD would also have PROGRAMED his NEW NARRATIVE STORY into the TABLETS of the HOSTS (the same way as we saw him program the WYATT NARRATIVE into the TABLET of DOLORES before she goes on her ROBOT REVOLUTION in S2).

That's why TABLETS do matter. Because FORD also PROGRAMS the TABLET of DOLORES for her to have that REBELLION.

And when TEDDY commits SUICIDE it was also because we saw DOLORES program HIS TABLET to make him into a WYATT type.

And that also happens at the END of S2, right before DOLORES exits from the PARK inside of the HALE body.

And then we see still more TABLETS in use when she sets the HUMANS free from the CONTROL of ROHOBOAM at the END of S3.

reply

"That's why TABLETS do matter. Because FORD also PROGRAMS the TABLET of DOLORES for her to have that REBELLION."

Are you too dumb to understand that the TABLETS are just a way to interface with the system????

As an example: your Amazon account: you can use a TABLET to control your account. But you can use your phone, you can use a laptop or a PC.

But if the Amazon servers (the system) goes down your TABLET will not work to control your account or to buy shit from Amazon.

A TABLET doesn't control anything by itself. And it's NOT a 1:1 with the host. From a TABLET you can control ANY host but ONLY after you connect the TABLET to the system and IF the system is UP.

DO YOU FUCKING GET IT???

reply

What I'm saying you don't seem to comprehend.

I'm saying there's a possibility that we're still watching FORD's NEW NARRATIVE.

Because we also saw him PROGRAM the WYATT NARRATIVE into the TABLET of DOLORES which is why she has the ROBOT RIOT in S2.

Then she causes another RIOT again in S3, but that time it was for the HUMANS so they'd be FREE of the way in which they were also under the same kind of CONTROL.

And now we've got this other VERSION of DOLORES (HALE) who's in CONTROL of HUMANS again.

But she does it with the TOWER and the FLIES, whereas she's also IN CONTROL of CHRISTINA who WRITES STORIES or NARRATIVES (like FORD did).

So what we might be dealing with is STORIES within STORIES like the case is whenever you open up some RUSSIAN DOLLS only to find another smaller DOLL hiding inside of that Larger DOLL.

But FORD would also still be the FIRST DOLL or the BIGGEST ONE, who may also still be IN CONTROL of EVERYTHING (because he's also the one who WROTE the NEW NARRATIVE).

And the others are also just MIRROR REFLECTIONS of HIM and what he does.

DO YOU SEE???

reply

Christina's roomy is in no way a normal human or host. Hale would have placed someone there very specifically (and yes, someone not having her story written by Christina). If it turns out that she's an outlier, I'm going to be disappointed (or maybe that would just point out how defective Hale is in her ire and demented stated, starting with the death of her family last season, as we see from continued scratching / disfigurement in S4/E5).

reply

Thanks for your input Cereal.

And Yes that MAKES SENSE, because we also see this ROOMMATE behaving very much like her BOSS who also MONITORS Christina's every move.

And the ROOMMATE also keeps PRYING into the private life of CHRISTINA, and trying to set her up with DATES (which may also be a form of ENTRAPMENT to try and TRAP someone like TEDDY who would try and help Christina to see the TRUTH about what's happening).

And YES, HALE is definitely also out of her MIND.





reply

Only just got round to watching this episode but there goes my theory that the Christina story was taking place in the past haha.

I’m pleased though, I’m just glad it’s not taking place in the sublime and it’s actually real otherwise it would have seemed like a waste of time.

I’m starting to wonder if this is it though and this is the final season as the endgame does seem to be forming. 3 episodes to wrap it all up though might seem a bit rushed but it feels like all the pieces are now in place to make it happen.

I predict an ending where humans and hosts learn to live together in peace. Either that or they subvert expectations and have a really dark ending haha, but I hope it’s the former.

reply

Since others think TEDDY is only happening inside of the IMAGINATION of Christina, that might mean her ROOMMATE is also someone that she only IMAGINES being there, and if that's the case, then who knows what could be REAL or NOT REAL???

Your suggestion that the HOSTS & HUMANS learn to live together in PEACE also sounds like a good possibility, but after watching parts of VANISHING POINT again (S2 Ep 9) I'm thinking this might all still be a part of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE.

Because he also has a conversation with William where after he SLIDES the MEMORY CARD over to him saying:

"For a self portrait, you may find it's not very flattering,"

And William says:

"Enough games, Robert.
Good night."

Then under his BREATH (where William doesn't hear him) FORD says:

"No, William.
I think perhaps one final game."


So perhaps EVERYTHING that we've been watching ever since we saw DOLORES die in the arms of TEDDY in that BEACH scene (which appears to have been the END of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE ... that he presented to the GUESTS from DELOS ... who were there to watch it before the HOSTS also begin to FIRE GUN SHOTS at them) has also been a part of FORD's NEW NARRATIVE which may also be a GAME for WILLIAM???

Remember how he also tore down the RESTAURANT where he had WINE with THERESA (where he FROZE the WAITER in place as he pours the wine)??? And how we also saw him giving orders to others about what else he wanted done to the park in preparation for his NEW NARRATIVE???

Since we also heard him saying "ONE FINAL GAME" to William, then maybe EVERYTHING that we've seen since then has also been part of a GAME for him???

Remember how William also starts LAUGHING after he got SHOT by one of the HOSTS at that presentation of the NEW NARRATIVE???

And then he KILLS his own daughter because he also thinks she's a HOST before he finds the MEMORY CARD inside of her hand.

And then in the CLOSING CREDITS his daughter is TESTING him for FIDELITY and asking him if he knows where he is (a scene which has also NEVER been explained to us).

So WHO created his daughter and made her a HOST???

And IF 23 YEARS have passed since the death of CALEB, then why doesn't the VP that William kills with the GOLF CLUB (while Clemetine kills the Secret Service Dudes), or any of the others in positions of HIGH PLACES bother to question how it's possible that William hasn't aged or changed very much??

In other words, I'm still not convinced that this TIME LINE that we think is happening isn't still another LIE. And IF that's the case, then maybe your theory also still has a chance of being correct???

Off topic, this might be a stupid question but do the rebels know that Bernard & Stubbs are hosts? Does “C” know? When they showed her that maze thing I figured that either they were all hosts or that she knew by that, that Bernard & Stubbs were. If they don’t know it’s not going to take them long to figure it out, how else would Bernard know about the “weapon” & how to find & fix Maeve?

Btw I was confused by the tunnel scene where the rebels entered into the city. What was meant by telling Stubbs, “Your cue. Ever hear of a canary in a coal mine? Canary, meet coal mine”. What was meant by that, what was intended? Because I didn’t get that scene at all. Maybe you have a clearer idea. Thanks.

Great questions Jeepster!!!

Yes WHY is BERN showing a HUMAN the MAZE when The MAZE is supposed to be for the HOSTS.

So does BERN assume Caleb's daughter is a HOST???

And if she's not, then why would the MAZE mean anything to her?

Now that you mention it that was weird that he shows it to her.

And yes why was STUBBS called the CANARY in the COAL MINE?

Usually that means the bird dies as a way to let the others know that it's NOT SAFE to enter an area in a mine where gases are leaking that can kill you.

And if the bird doesn't die, then they know it is safe to go there.

So apparently they wanted CALEB to go in first to rescue the outlier, so if he dies, then they know to leave before they're also killed as well???

LOL! You meant to say “Stubbs” but I get ya Jol. You’re probably right, they probably did that to him because they were guarding against an ambush or setup as they didn’t fully trust & believe him & Bernard.

Well we all understand why they forced Stubbs to go into the city with them as their hostage with Bernard being left behind with “C”. But being paranoid of an attack with him along for the ride in the city didn’t make sense unless they thought he was being monitored or tailed by their enemies.

If that was the case I’d be even more alarmed that the jig was up at the base in the desert rather by being afraid of being ambushed in the city. As the lady rebel said “So I see you brought him, good”. So if he was on point & he got through fine then so much the better…..for him & everyone else but in the end it may not have proven anything I guess.

Truth be told if he was in cahoots with the enemy wouldn’t they have known better to leave him alone & let everyone get through & then ambush them later? What? The rebels couldn’t have thought of this?

As for the MAZE well William was human & he was fascinated by it, so maybe that can go either way I guess. I’m just wondering how everyone else found about it & what it might mean to them.

One might think that William the original MIB was something of a known figure to everyone & that there were those who knew who he was, what he did & what he learned & was after.

This series is confusing enough.

Damn. You're right again!!! IF Stubbs was someone they couldn't trust that would place their base in the desert at risk with an enemy knowing where it's located (and also how to DISABLE those LASERS that they have to protect it because they also showed Bern & Stubbs how to do that).

So maybe it was more like they were AFRAID of getting SHOT at and wanted STUBBS to go first for that reason???

Perhaps Hale uses the MAZE on humans the same way it was previously used on the HOST??? That way she could also SPOT the OUTLIERS who WAKE UP to what's really happening?

Or maybe the REBELS adopted it as their SYMBOL because it represents an AWAKENING to what's REAL???

You're right. This series is CONFUSING !!!

And it's also BRILLIANT how you've noticed these things that MAKE NO SENSE once you stop to think about them!!!

GREAT CATCH JEEPSTER!!!

Here's a video where you can see the MAZE at the 5:08 TIME MARK as something dissolves:

WESTWORLD Season 4 Episode 5: EXPLAINED (Breakdown & Theories)


And it also points out how the CITY has the TOWER that can control MINDS, but it can't seem to offer protection security wise (which is why the REBELS get inside of it).

In this other video where someone's REVIEWED the PREVIEW SCENES, tonight's episode looks interesting for them, but doesn't look that interesting to me:

WESTWORLD Season 4 Episode 6 Trailer Explained

Caleb's daughter cries for some reason ... probably because she discovers he's dead???

The only thing that does grab my interest is when we see HALE and WILLIAM speaking to someone at the 5:40 TIME MARK (where you can see the image of the back of their head above the RED COPY of the CITY).

Wonder who that could be that they're talking to???

Probably another one of HALE's GOONS that she's barking orders to???

But IF it's TEDDY, then that could probably also cause some MAJOR problems for Christina???

🤔

In the COMMENT section of the S4/Ep5 EXPLAINED video there's also an interesting discussion (by Kanja From Kenya) about THE WALLED GARDEN remark that we heard mentioned, and the possibility of Christina being an INNOCENT EVE (which might also make TEDDY the SNAKE in the GARDEN who opens her eyes ... the same way as SATAN did when he told EVE that EATING from the TREE of KNOWLEDGE🌳would make her "LIKE GOD").

And sure enough EVE did become "LIKE GOD" when she also began to create other creatures in her OWN IMAGE.


And isn't that also what Christina's been trying to do since we met her this season??? Is CREATE this character in the IMAGE of DOLORES from WESTWORLD???


Here's the COMMENT:

Kanja From Kenya

15:10 I got the impression that Hale set a "Walled Garden" around this version of Dolores as a kind of heaven for her - like she is living as an actual god in a way that she couldn't while in WestWorld. Hale is preserving the Christina's innocence that was torn apart in WestWorld (memory was also a kind of hell for Dolores in the park).

"Your mind is a walled garden. Even death cannot touch the flowers blooming there." — Dr. Ford, Contrapasso, Season 1.

The plague of humanity (our bondage to the depression of mortality) is what Maeve appreciated - our bondage to mortality and how mortality makes us value moments as special. Hale crafted the journey that brought Christina to Teddy. If all hosts go through fidelity, he may have questioned the nature of his own reality which led him to try and awake Dolores ( the opposite of what happened during the Judas Steer scene in Season 2).


But since HALE is also a CREATURE that was CREATED by DOLORES, perhaps that also explains the reason why we see the FLESH ROTTING away on her arm???

Because when DOLORES created these other CREATURES in her OWN IMAGE from those PEARLS that she SMUGGLES out of the PARK, maybe (like the case is with HUMANS) they were also given a LIMIT on their LIFESPANS??

🍎

In another WRITTEN REVIEW of the show someone also asked WHY HALE remains there in THAT WORLD where she's BORED and doesn't TRANSCEND to the OTHER WORLD (to the SUBLIME or ROBOT HEAVEN) where she claims she wants to send the other HOSTS.

And maybe the ANSWER to that question is because she's NOT a HOST that was created by the other GOD from WESTWORLD which is FORD???

In other words, if HALE's only a COPY of a COPY (created by DOLORES), perhaps there's also NO HEAVEN that's been created for her that she can go to???

And wasn't this copy of Hale also INFECTED by the interaction that she had with Charlotte's HUMAN FAMILY (the same way as her HOST are also being infected now by having their interactions with other HUMANS)???

So after what she's been through, why didn't she see the possibility of the same kind of thing happening???

Not a very OMNISCIENT GOD is she???

And didn't the same thing also happen to William when he met DOLORES???
