Westworld (2016 Fall Schedule - HBO Premium Series)

[AzzarTheGod]

We know Ford fashions himself some type of god. I think he may not be aware of all of the mazes significance, but I think he is aware of the maze phenomenon and knows more than he's exposed about Arnold's history (obviously)

And its been shown he has a lot of secrets and side shows in his peripheral and is a bit of a renegade (towards the investors and management). Its not clear whether he has knowledge of the maze. I'd guess its possible he wants MIB to find it on his behalf even??

I would guess Arnold stored his consciousness or the sum of his work in the maze perhaps. The maze might have interest to Ford to finally stop Arnold/prove Arnold wrong in some way symbolically ("If you can beat the maze, you can be free")... All a shot in the dark though..

To-date, the series premiere episode of Westworld has amassed nearly 12 million viewers, continuing to track ahead of the debuts of Game of Thrones and True Detective. The second episode is now approaching 6.5 million viewers, slightly below Episode 1 over a comparable time period (close to 7 million).

Cooking both GoT and True Detective by millions of viewers so far.

Yet no season 2 announced. BUDGET ISSUES ANYONE?

reread your quote. WW debut smoked the S1E1 debut of GoT and of TD. but it still doesnt get GoT numbers from the few years, and when you consider how many more people have been watching HBO over the last few years, its really not overly impressive. i was thinking (and im sure HBO was hoping) that WW numbers would compare to GoT Season 6 numbers.

that said, WW was a good show. i just worry that i'm gonna lose interest if they just start visiting a new park each season.

I wouldn't doubt if a new park per season is the plan. Isn't the next season slotted for 2018 tho'?

they said at the last big HBO thing that it would be back late 2017 or early 2018, leaning towards early 2018.

Ah. Have a site suggestion for info?

So this is an amazing show. Just got done rewatching the entire season for the 2nd time. The thought popped into my head the other day that blew my mind and is making me have to watch the entire season again. That thought is that Ford is actually the first host. Ford is Arnold's Bernard. His original creation and helper to help him design the park. I need to rewatch the entire season from this perspective but one of the first things that made me think of this was the bar scene with Ford and the man in black and Teddy. The man in black goes to cut open Teddy and Teddy grabs the knife and Ford didn't say anything as if he was able to control him through thought alone(aka he's hard wired into the system and is able to control all hosts or maybe almost all other hosts at will).

Ford views himself as their god and savior and says that Arnold didn't know how to save them but he does...because he's one of them. I think the host family he has saved is actually part of his back story and the kid you first see him encounter is actually a "memory" of himself as a child from his back story. I'm still not entirely sure yet but I'll try and put more pieces together if I can find any. Another really good reason why I think this is true is that it's an epic enough of a twist to keep the show very interesting for season 2 which everyone(including myself at one point) seems to think has nowhere to go from here.
