Hi people. I really love this show; and the finale is tonight so I was wondering what people thought of it.

the show or the finale?

I've loved the ride so far, but I am very, very nervous that the show is going to go quickly downhill. An accelerated Lost situation, so to speak. I've already read some pieces about how the mysteries aren't really the point -- the mythology is. And if that's the case, I hope I can figure that out so I can stop watching.

Still, thus far it's been a lot of fun.

The show! And I guess the finale after it airs. \

I had a lot of reservation about that around episode 4ish, but I have felt thoroughly entertained up to this point, and I feel like they won't fall into that trap. Especially having Abrams being a part of it, hopefully we won't make that same mistake.

I shed tears multiple times.

Spoiler:
I'm pretty sure Samuraiworld is scrapped after this, though.

I hope William gets a slow death so he can enjoy finally losing for a while.

I am a bit confused about where the headquarters is actually located. It looks like in the American west and sort of seems incorporated into westworld the park, but presumably Samarai world is not located in the desert.

In post 4848, xRECKONERx wrote:rebuttals:

1)
I thought it was just Bernard being in control of his memories as well. We already saw that scene play out in real time earlier in the season and she didn't freeze.


2)
Bernard says "you get to the mainland..." then she smashes the computer. Also, in the code he shows her, the next item in the code after ESCAPE was MAINLAND INFILTRATION


3)
No, that wasn't Clementine that hangs MiB from the tree. That was the girl that Teddy killed during Arnold's mass murder Wyatt thing.
The rest of that is plausible, save one thing:
Maeve is part of Ford's "awakening" storyline, which he was launching at the event in the park, so she had to have been doing her part simultaneously or perhaps right before.
Spoiler:
1) I did remember when it happened in real time but I also was getting the feeling that it could have been a loop and one time for whatever reason they had to intervene and then later wiped the memory so bernard would forget. It's strange that they wouldn't make it a big reveal if she was a host but I also can't remember any other time in bernards memory where he froze time for someone but he kept moving. I'm pretty sure in the vision, only Theresa froze and vision bernard was still moving.

2) Yeah, thats what I've been seeing everywhere this morning too. I guess I misheard or didn't remember everything after the fact. Still, I get the feeling that there was something we weren't told on purpose. Bernard got cut off before we found out what the scripted end game was supposed to be. We don't know for sure if Maeve broke script or not, or if mainland even means "outside the park" for sure. I guess it was probably left intentionally vague until next season.

3) ah. I couldn't understand why I should know that girl at all or why she would know the MiB. Thought it was a repurposed version of clementine but guess not. Anyways, yeah, the wyatt ghost nation people were out in the park most of the season. Thats where I'm stuck. The hosts in storage didn't disappear until near the end of the last episode, so if Maeve's plot and ford's theatre were happening at the same time as presented then I can't really make sense of why the ghost nation tribe was around all season prior to that point or why they made a big deal about the hosts disappearing from storage when they did if the ghost nation tribe already existed. Seems like it was meant to tell us that the ghost nation tribe was the decommissioned hosts, so that had to have happened some time prior to the finale.

well i don't think it was the whole ghost nation tribe. i think we only saw bits and pieces throughout the season so it's possible ford just waited until the night of to pull the whole army and used the lockdown as a diversion

Greatest show on television, although I have some doubt about season 2 keeping up with the standards set.

As far as the ghost nation & Ashley, while it seems like a big deal I think it's just a bit of a red herring. There was some talk in the show prior to that about removing QA's admin rights, so that is why the ghost nation hosts ignored his voice commands, and the show has also made it perfectly clear that while hosts can not kill a guest, they can "hurt" them somewhat and there is precedent for guests being knocked out, captured, tied up, etc. I think in season 2 we will find Ashley is alive and well, but possibly still captured by ghost nation.

And no, ghost nation has nothing to do with the hosts in storage. The defective hosts are put in storage, ghost nation is an active story line.

Hosts mostly VT
Guests are scum or town power roles.
Delos employees are alt faction scum or town power roles.
Ford is the moderator.

Not saying it has to be setup like that, just theorizing how I would do things.
