  • Westworld E4, S3 (Part 3 of 4) Types of Human Hosts
    If William is a host, who's controlling him?? Why didn't the board create a device that distinguish host from human. There are two types of human like hosts: "Factory hosts" are like dolls, generic ones that don't look like anyone, and are built to follow a script, made in a factory and put in the park. Then there's the "Clone" host - these are a copy of a real person made in the image of someone's pearl. Delores is making an army of "factory hosts" to follow her programming. Maybe later she'll create "Clone hosts" from the data aka guests. Then she can use the "Cloned Hosts" to play out the lives of the real person once she kills them off. Delores went from a victim to victimizer. Was the Paris scene just an example of what the rest of the "real, real" world looks like? What if Rehoboam predicted the entire world's future and the only path for mankind? And what if this world we see is an alternate reality, but they know they're headed for that apocalyptic outcome and they're looking for a way to keep that from happening. Or what if the system is keeping everyone on a particular course and need to stop anyone that deviates from that course or disrupts it, like Delores! If Incite is responsible for the simulation within a simulation, is it a way of controlling the actions of real humans like they’re hosts, rather than controlling artificial beings? Similar to Infinity End Game. But will all these series coincide with the linear plan for this season?? And what's the connection between Westworld and Person of Interest series?

  • Westworld E4, S3 (Part 2 of 4) Maeve is The One
    All of our Westworld episodes are SPOILERS!  So in a nut shell... Ron Paul isn't a good fit to play a Teddy type of role, so we expect him to turn the tables on Delores! Don't need to see Maeve fight! She needs her crew to do her light work! Really frustrating to see Maeve constantly getting killed so easily, especially when she just got there in the real world! Why would Serac send Maeve out to take down Delores without being able to take a bullet or stab wound!! The writers have a Lot of clean up to do with that!! Maeve is definitely Neo and Delores is agent Smith from The Matrix!

  • Westworld E4, S3 (Part 1 of 4) #FreeMaeve
    MCSFO's usual suspects, guests Darion and Tariq peal back the layers and give their thoughts on the following: Scenes that we liked, Cool fashion tech with Caleb trying on digital suit and tech to steel blood. Seeing all the OG characters in this one episodes. Got the big question answered about Delores being Mr. Smith and Maeve being Neo, but a lot more questions were created. Delores aka Mr. Smith - how do her copies differ, do they each develop their own level of consciousness and control?  (Delores Hale, Delores Martin, Delores Musashi). Keeping Maeve on another leash so long is a big problem for the show!  Since when did Delores learn martial arts?   Maeve learned the way of the Samuri.  How did Delores know so much about Maeve's Shogun trip! How would she know how Musashi felt back in Shogun world?? Possible inconsistency to have Delores Hale (Charlotte's body with copy of Delores Pearl), give off same mannerisms as Teddy just to throw off the audience but it doesn't fit the character of Delores, that's not how she acts. Delores is creating an army, so does this prove that the whole world isn't hosts, as Amanda theorizes, that all the humans are gone and everyone is a host? Theory - the "real world" is just a simulation created by Rehoboam? #FreeMaeve

  • Westworld S3, E3 (Part 6 of 6) "Rehoboam is Serac?"
    Now we battle out our final host theories! Is Rehoboam, Serac in a host form like in the movie Transcendance with Johnny Depp. Is Serac luring Delores to get that data of the guests that were in the park?  What if Arnold knew about Incite looking to take over and tried to kill the park to save human kind? Can't wait to see George aka Chappie Bot, go from being a "push over" LOL, to a mean Terminator!

  • Westworld S3, E3 (Part 5 of 6) "Caleb's the New Teddy"
    Guests Tariq, Glenn and Darion answer the following: Charlotte's husband played by Michael Ealy and Tessa Thompson had a short #SexyScifiEyeCandy scene together, do you think we'll be seeing more of Michael Ealy on the show? How close will Caleb and Delores get? Is Caleb another Teddy for Delores? Or is she catching real feelings for Caleb. Was discovering that Charlotte is the mole in Delos that obvious?? Did they always have a few hosts in the real world? This would be a familiar trope we've seen play in other similar movies like Wayland in Alien franchise, Blade Runner and Ex-Machina.

  • Westworld S3, E3 (Part 4 of 6) "Google-Rehoboam"
    Tariq, Darion and Glennn are asked to pull back the layers and contemplate Free Will vs Determinism. How realistic is Rehoboam for us today? Is Google and Facebook the beginnings of Rehoboam? Do you think we have the ability to predict someone's future or a probable future? And will that prediction be correct? How predictable are we? Are we more complicated than that? Comparing the show to our real lives and questioning if there are people controlling us today! Is Delores made more durable than newer hosts? How can she heal herself after getting shot up and injected with a deadly substance, while other hosts like Maeve is always on the table getting repairs.

  • Westworld S3, E3, (Part 3 of 6) What the Hale!
    In this episode we're arguing... rather proving our theories and tackling the biggest question, who's in Charlotte if it's not Teddy? Is Delores taken by Caleb? Will her relationship with Caleb change our perception of humans? Does Delores have other plans for Caleb? How will he react when he finds out she's not human?  Will he find out she's a host before he finds out he's one too?

  • Westworld S3, E3 (Part 2 of 6) "Around Westworld Tour"
    in this episode we dive deep into the shows stunning cinematography and architecture. Beautiful shots in Spain and Singapore inspires an idea to do an Around the Westworld Tour to visit all the set locations like The City of Arts & Sciences in Spain. Favorite scenes: The wide shot of The Riot Control Mech aka the Transformer bot and landscape in the background. Detailed and purposeful architecture - from the look of the hospital building to the Delos cold look The headquarters building looks like a big pearl set in the ground. Shows like WW inspires young filmmakers to create series more than film. Easter Egg - Arrows from the Rehoboam ball printed on Charlotte's son's bedding. Maybe a  reminder that big brother is watching, like in the movie Eagle Eye.  Or just promoting WW merch! Favorite Tech: The Drip - tech in the roof of Caleb's mouth Who the Hale is in Hale? Who's betting on Teddy being the pearl inside Charlotte Hale's body. Fan theory on why Teddy's pearl can not be inside Charlotte! (correction - James Marsden (not John Marsden :p)
