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.
1. Yea I this is one of the tracks that can/will be explored throughout this entire series. It is what makes this story one of the best on television right now.

2. Ah so you think it was all a "gun and pony" show. I would like to believe he is actually dead; especially after hearing that they are having difficulty getting their star cast back for the following seasons.

3. Good eye. I didn't really remember the lettering on the note. Clearly with additional parks more seasons are in order, but to ATG's points, to me, it really will would put a damper on the story-lines/success of this series for HBO.

4. Ok then.

5. Yea I hope he isn't dead.
