    Terminators age. I mean these are not exact giant dolls. The ability to make them age maybe possible.
    If he is a host . . that explains how he can program through 'thoughts'

    Maive is programming on the fly with voice and tone commands.

    it is possible and that would be some terrible writing.

    He doesn't even speak though. Bernard killed Teresa without a word being said for him to do so. When MIB was going to carve Ford open (to find out what's inside) Jesse intervened without a word. He was able to shut down the entire visible area at that dinner table with Teresa, not just the waiter right in front of him, but the field hands as well, without saying a word. And if he did say a word the field hands couldn't hear it.

    I thought he did mention something to Bernard about taking care of Theresa. I see what you're saying though. Maybe he has a switch or something. Maybe he's the first self aware host and this allows him to communicate with other hosts. Can't wait for these last two episodes.

    He did speak to Bernard but nothing that wasn't benign. He didn't say something that should be an outright "kill" trigger. There is some other form of communication going on from him. I'm not saying he IS a host, but I definitely think it's a viable option. The aging thing is silly. We are talking about someone who has a hidden basement with a 3D printer that will create entire hosts for him in a few days but it's a stretch to think he could age himself? It's a world with no disease or anything so it isn't like his health not failing would give him away.

    Great episode. They are working my brain now and it's about to explode.

    Timelines: You guys may want to consider up to 4 timelines. And I'm not joking. Now that the Delores' Father is being loaded with the parks code, he and Maeve are headed off site. The father is either going to find the photo of NYC for the first time ( creating another timeline or tying into timeline 2 ), or he's going to try and find the woman in the photo, who will be the still living wife of William/MIB ( This would tag onto timeline 2 ) I think. It's getting a little hard to follow. However, that's how I see this playing out. It would be hard to imagine this off site trip being in continuity with the current timeline with MIB if the photo is involved and the wife is already dead per MIB. The wife is our only connection to the outside world at this point. I've got to believe Maeve and Father are seeking her out and she had to be alive for that.

    Agree on at least three timelines ( Parks initial failure, Dolores/Williams, and MIB ). And by that I mean timelines that merge into one. The wife will nail it down, but the re-purposed host ( hot blonde ) is major. I love her. Plus the cuts at the river confirm the cut scenes at other locations. Again, timelines that merge into one...Not like the Flash timelines that diverge.

    The Wife: The Wife of MIB was obviously killed. That's no suicide. She may have been jealous of the MIB flirting with Delores or who he was becoming, but think not, think she is killed by the hosts. The likely suspect would of course be Delores. But I am not sure she is capable. I do think Maeve is capable, and of course, that is where she is headed. It's off site with the same guy, Delore's dad, who hates the MIB too! We got ourselves some cold blooded assassins hitting the world at large with all kinds of data and memories, and revenge on their mind.

    The Horse: I will come back to this theory later when I have time to jot it out. But the first thing you should note is that the Horse is in almost every critical scene with Delores, especially when she is at peace ( like painting on the river or when she arrives home on the river ) or in the middle of a crisis ( like when it takes her to William and she falls into his arms ) or when she first meets the two loves of her life and she drops the can. The horse is there much like R2D2 is always there in Star Wars. But take time too also consider that there are 3 key elements to the opening of the show. They are Delores, the gun, and the horse. And maybe the piano. There is no mistake about it. Do not take that as a coincidence. You can start with that and I'll give you some more later. But watch that Horse, the Native American Indians, and the bird tech. They are all coming together.

    Wyatt's Men: I don't know who or what they are, they appear masked, but if the show really wants to go sci fi, those could be aliens from another world. I don't think the show is ready to go there until season three, when they've played out the on world stuff, but if you really want to think of where this could eventually go, there's a portal at the center of the maze ( death ) that goes to another world in the milky way. Absolutely no evidence of that, but this is Sci fi and they at some point will need to satisfy the viewers. The hosts are already transcending worlds, and that is kinds of sci-fi ish, so they don't need to go there, that may be all they do, but they definitely could take this interstellar. So keep an eye on it. And that may be a world that Ford wants to take over, or maybe even that Ford already owns.

    The Center of the Maze: Just to be clear. The center of the maze is "death." or the process of death like they say in the Arrival movie. The rest of the Maze is current paths of life. When the hosts die they transcend into another world, the human world. And when humans die, they transcend into another world like outer space, or they can transcend into another life form that they would prefer to be, say like a horse. So they get choice.

    Can someone explain to me why those two techs are helping Maeve? What does she hold over them?

    The Asian one is helping her because he wants to be a programmer and create life. The white one is helping her because she threatened to both kill him and/or out the fact that he was running a pimp service using the robots as the prostitutes for the other techs.

    I feel like they could have easily erased her memory when she was out. She is still under park control, they could have decreased her intelligence or something. I don't know, I'm no scientist so what do I know.

    Yes they could have. That is what the white guy wanted to do. The Asian guy didn't want to so he betrayed the white guy. That was clearly spelled out. He sees Maeve as alive and doesn't want to "brick" her.

    Anyone do the assessment on DiscoverWestworld.com?
    It has a question about uploading your internal memories and stuff into a host or something when you die. I wonder who this would be in the show?

    This has been my biggest gripe about the show - how are these techs scared of her threat?? They can easily wipe her memory and reboot her, but they just go along with it. Just not believable at all.
