I hope we get a glimpse of that, it would be really cool. MC: What do you imagine the human world outside of Westworld looks like?ĪS: "When Maeve cuts a tech's neck and it's glued back together, it proves they're in a world that is definitely not the present. MC: I think there was a moment of empathy between Maeve and Clementine when Maeve says goodbye.ĪS: "That definitely exists for them.

But when they're constantly mistreated and used as toys-like that end scene with Teddy and Dolores-that inhumane treatment is what they suck into their brains." I think they have empathy, I think they do because they're these advanced creatures. But at the same time, whatever is done to them remains in their memory. If they're a clean slate, there's no agenda-just the need to survive. It's like the purity and clarity of a newborn. Whatever you do, they will learn, imitate, and do it back. Who will be their leader? Will they understand empathy now that they're free?ĪS: "I have a theory that the hosts are like babies. MC: Robots have no social order instilled in them. MC: That there are several other parks, and once the robots takeover Westworld, they'll focus their awakening on a new world.ĪS: "I agree, there might be a lot of other parks." The hosts are no longer under the control of these people, now it's time to fight back. This is just a guess, but looking at where things ended, now it's going to the next level. MC: What are your own personal fan theories going into next season?ĪS: "I feel like a war is about to begin. I'm in the same place you are- what is going to happen?! We're all excited to see what's to come." When he is shot by the hosts - a real wound that draws blood - he feels that he has found that truth. That's how the show was-we would go from episode to episode not knowing until the minute we read what was going to happen. Answer (1 of 6): The Man in Black (MiB) smiles because he is searching for something real in Westworld, the one true thing in a land of make-believe. In the wake of last night’s Season 1 finale of HBO’s Westworld, creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy left us with a plethora of payoffs and questions. They haven't given us any hints, nobody knows anything, I promise.

MC: Maeve's note indicated that there's more than one park.will next season play on that? Southworld perhaps?ĪS: "Honestly I have no idea, I genuinely don't know. He's a chameleon, in a matter of seconds he becomes something else." His voice changed, his demeanor changed, everything changed. You, blinded by the closeness of success do not listen to him, or even allow him room for maybe hearing him in the future. He started doing the lines from Silence of the Lambs, and I was like 'Oh my god, is this happening right now?' It was surreal. Answer: A dear friend, your intellectual equal, your partner. He did something really insane between takes, out of nowhere. Anthony Hopkins is the kindest, sweetest most creative person I've met. What was that like to film?ĪS: "We shot that scene for about two weeks. So he’s taken himself out of the equation to execute his vision.MC: You were in the scene when Bernard goes down the rabbit hole and realizes he's made in Arnold's image. (We’ve seen Dustin and Theresa go down in the lab before, but a as far as we know, a guest has yet to die before our eyes in the park.)įord explains that he’s come to terms with the robot rights consciousness business that Arnold saw decades before he did. But he’s survived gunshots from hosts before, so it’s unclear how much grief-accelerated host humanity, loop-breaking consciousness or orders from Ford it would take to make Clem’s (or any host’s) bullets lethal for a guest. She appears to shoot him, suggesting that his ego was the key to his downfall, which would be superb closure. Does Clem successfully kill the Man in Black? But if a broken arm can’t stop the Man in Black from being the least fun guest at the formal affair, surely Armistice the host can “survive.” If they did “perish,” though, they could always be resurrected for another season.ĩ. The show absolutely implies that Armistice and Hector, Maeve’s gun-toting recruits, are toast.
