One more question, and it’s a bigger philosophical one. The show has been playing a lot with what it means to be real–your biology, your chemistry, your memories, a healthy fear of death and a need for self preservation.
But what if what makes you real…is simply believing that you are real? Can other people define your realness? Bernard was adamant “I’m not one of them” but when push comes to shove, he followed orders. But outside the influence of the Park Staff (say out in the wilds where Dolores is) can her realness become more “real” because there’s no one to tell her she’s not. William is clearly heading down the path of believing that Dolores is more real than his flesh and blood fiancee back home.

(Also, poor Clementine. That hurt to watch.) (Did Ford suspect the reveries would cause this retention of memories?) (How did Ford get the idea for Reveries?) (Did the Board ask him to look into it)
#SoManyQuestions
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m not quite sure where to start with this one, honestly. So…bullet point style
–Bernard being a Host totally shocked me. I got actual shivers the second he said “what door?” He always seemed the most human (which is probably the point). He had a believable backstory, he’s had interactions with his ex wife (is she a Host or…?) and he has a lot of traits that I would consider indicating humanness: philosopher, lover, husband/father, curious.
–The Board is the real enemy here right? At least in the overall grand story. They want that code (intellectual property) for something–I can’t believe they are just paranoid that Ford will wipe everything at a moments notice.
–People made mention of Ford’s Empire–is there another park besides Westworld? Can you have an Empire with just one park?
–Dolores and William getting set up for a love triangle with Teddy? Also, do you think William is right: Westworld doesn’t reveal your basest self but your deepest?
–How BIG is this park?! And does there come a point when the stories are so…neglected (most of the narrative interest seems to be at the center with the town) that sentience becomes more pronounced?
–I wonder if Lee, the head writer, is a Host. He’s such a cliche that now he feels like a old model of a Host before Ford got really creative.
–What does Ford really want? Just to tell stories? If that’s true, then I got a bridge to sell you.
–What’s the endgame? Westworld got renewed for S2 so it’s time to start looking at the big picture. Self awareness for the Hosts is part of it, but I think there’s more. And I think it’s all about the Board.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"That is the real information anyways, not his character name or the name of the actor.
Right. I don’t get why the name of the character or the actor is a BIG secret but the fact that a previously thought dead character is, in fact, alive and in SB is not?
Also, since there is no evidence that the Evil Queen is still hanging around maybe she will be gone by 610
I suspect she’ll be gotten rid of in 610
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Has the Evil Queen been on set in the second half of the season at all? As in after episode 10?
I too am curious about this. I thought she would be done by episode 10 and then Jafar would step in…but no Jafar.
Seriously!
So…David is really David Jr?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If Sneaky Fairy is actually Sneaky Fairy I am going to *demand* several million cookies from Daniel and Jeremy because for years they’ve laughed at me.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"but are aware that the ratings are in decline and probably don’t want to leave too much open-ended incase the show takes a bigger nosedive and gets an unexpected cancellation?
I think that’s it. It’s…insurance. Just in case ABC pulls the plug after this year they want to be able to say that they gave answers to some of the bigger questions that people hound them about (Lily’s father, the Black Fairy, ect). Now I don’t think ABC is going to cancel but…insurance.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well….I’m disappointed that the Black Fairy is presumably going to be a one-off appearance
Why do you assume that? Adam has welcomed her to the Once family, which seems a bit extreme for someone who is going to have a minor appearance in one episode… based on the actress, she may have a bigger role than you might think.
I think it’s more that he knows her character reveal was the big shock and Adam is milking it for all its worth.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well we are also a heavily capitalist society where TV is a business and unless you prove that you have staying power (by virtue of specific eyeballs) you’re not going to stay in business long. So yes, broadcast TV has become heavily focused on social media outlets and what is buzzworthy.
