Westworld [HBO, Fall 2016]

Premier was dope. Such an fascinating plot and already you can tell shit is about to get crazy.

Already some thoughts - Ed Harris/The Gunslinger evil character, I wonder if he's really a host or perhaps he's actually an Android who has become sentient and trying to figure it all out. Bernard, the lead scientist under Anthony Hopkins, I have a feeling he's an Android too. Like he's Anthony Hopkins greatest achievement or believes he is, the rest of the Westworld probably aren't aware he's not human or shit, maybe there are more.

Anyways, so many different possibilities and directions this show can go from here, definitely had potential to be HBOs best show since GoT

That was my line of thinking. If the hosts absolutely cannot harm the guests, why would he, how could he, shoot him? Perhaps the bullets are fakes, perhaps there's some sort of safety implemented. But more than likely Ed Harris is an Android and he's figured out he cannot die, perhaps he's tampered with his programming to not "die". I mean, we saw the bullet go through him, or at least appeared to enter his back amd out his front. He's an Android, bullets ain't going to do shit. He was obviously trying to figure out how the Androids work, by draining most of the blood from that one Android and opening his skull to inspect his "brain".

Also, the Westworld workers mentioned there hasn't been a major incident in over 30 years. In another scene, Ed Harris said to the Android chick Dolores he's been coming there for 30 years. Doesn't seem like a coincidence. So I'm thinking he's an Android who's gone rouge, pets he's off grid. Maybe there are others, maybe it's just him, but I have a feeling he's going to lead a revolution and he's been tampering with them and the other Androids will follow him (every heard of cattle needs a leader to follow, a good quote early in the episode that seems to have heavy foreshadowing).

They set the bar extremely high with that premier so I'm anxious to see where it goes from here. Like you said, I'm sure there will be plenty of twists and surprises, maybe Anthony Hopkins wants this to happen, etc. Seems like this is going to be epic though regardless.

PLOT HOLES: Ed Harris cappin on suckas in mexico...how do the folks that run the park not know he is fuckin up their shit? Makes no sense. They seem to be able to live monitor shit.

They know about him. After the scene in Mexico, they went straight to the two employees and one of them mentions the posse he took out earlier. The other guy just replies "the customer gets what he wants."

So they dont think hes a robot for some reason.

I dont recall that scene being mentioned by the staff at all. I remember them cleaning up the town and the bandit had gone ape shit with the milk...

Rewatch it it happened like Cheaptimes said. They focused in on Ed and made a comment similar to "this guys taken out a whole army want me to send someone in to slow him down" and that person was dismissed because he's a guest.

Kind of messed up my Ed is def a droid theory. Although he still could be and maybe Hopkins or the lead scientist haven't informed the staff of all their droids for a different experiment?
