So... Season 2 huh? What do you think will happen next?

1. Do the hosts really have the ability to have conscience thought or is it just programming?
2. Ford essentially killing himself as he was going to be pushed out, didn't want this, so he killed all the investors/board and in turn attempted to destroy the park. So is this really the assumed end of the park? Does new management take over? Has this happened before?
3. Did Maeve (sp?) really go back to get her daughter? That story line could have ended better.
4. Was it Arnold that put in the wake up command? Ford? Bernard? Who did it?
5. Is Will/The Man in the Black dead?

Just a few topics to discuss.
1. I’ve been debating whether Arnold pre-programmed the bots to appear as though they one day become sentient… I still don't fully know which direction to lean. Are they becoming conscious, or simply following their programming (follow up to this in my answer to Q3)

2. Im certain that when we first saw the secret lab (where Theresa had her head smashed against the wall by Bernard) that the bot we saw being “woven” or created was a Ford bot. The thing we saw shot through the head was indeed his bot, not Ford himself.

3. The note Maev received on her way out of the facility said “Park I”. This, in addition to learning of “SW” or “Shogun World” or “Samurai World” implies clearly that WestWorld is one of many themed parks. I say all that to say this – Maev’s decision to get up and exit the train to me demonstrates autonomy since she actively is putting herself again in harm’s way to locate her daughter. Ford described early on that Arnold’s ultimate goal was to create consciousness through forcing the bots to conquer their pre-programmed fears and inhibitions.

4. No idea.

5. The Man in Black (William) is definitely not dead. He was shot in the arm and seemed to enjoy it.
