Has anyone mentioned or considered if the "event" 30 years ago could be what happened in the original movie? Likely not, but it would be a nice call back.
- 30 years ago, Delores killed Arnold. Teddy helped.robthelad
- It clearly is.doggydoggdog
- @robthelad - Sure, but more than just that happened, I suspect. They should the lower levels of the building after.ETM

What if everyone on the show are robots? Robots took over a long time ago and started running the park. I'm surprise this isn't a theory yet.

Well then. Anyone still on the fence with timelines? When are we?
- after re-watching the fist episodes it's nonsense. every single character talks about the fact that the park was there 30 years ago.sted
- It's 100% linear one timeline.monospaced

Anyone else notice the Westworld mark/brand/id keeps changing within the show itself. Noticed a new one last episode on the glass doors in one scene.
- I was wondering that myself. Different between some background screens/displays, doors, misc. items etc.ETM
- Timelines!tank02
- The show logo is different too.monospaced
- After the last episode, I see no evidence of more than one timeline.ETM

So far so good. I can't wait to see where this goes. Oh, and I didn't realize there was a movie from the 70's that this based on. Need to go check that out!
- the original movie was great!!! I remember my dad showing me it as a kid - totally freaked me out! Its on Sky Cinema at the mo :]vivid
- ah cool. thanks!lvl_13
- Yul Brynner was in it. There was a sequel called Future World too.CyBrainX
- there is an easter egg of yul in the westworld series, and yeah, the film is really good.cruddlebub

Want to clear up some confusion about the source material. There was no book. This is not based on a book. It's based on the 1973 movie where Crichton wrote the script and directed.
Also Crichton is not involved in the series... given that he died in 2008.

What if the MIB is Arnold?
- I looked for a likeness in the old photo Ford showed Bernard. It's not the same guy, physically anyway.Luda

My favorite scene so far has to be Maeve waking up from surgery, and stumbling into the facility. We see Abernathy lose it over a "photo" he could not explain... Can you fucking imagine the fear, the absolute terror of seeing what she saw, knowing only the old west. The facility is unexplainable to someone completely sensitized to their contrived condition. Then, BAM! You see all these naked corpses that appear to be just disposed of like refuse. It's a brilliant scene, showing us, the audience what we already know, but through the eyes of someone(thing) that could not possibly process what is happening. I would make a correlation to what it would be like if one of us, suddenly woke up on an alien ship. There would be no comprehension or understanding of anything. You would most likely pass out from shock, or have a heart attack from the terror.

In the first episode they were pretty cavalier about the MIB scalping that native american guy... racial violence against native americans still gets a pass with much less thought than against other peoples.
- It's called creative license.cannonball1978
- Besides, nobody bats an eye when the injuns come a scalpin'cannonball1978
- though scalping was invented by native americans, it was more frequently perpetrated by colonists. and it's surely racial, tantamount to lynching for blackssarahfailin

I liked it as well.
The man in black (ed harris), I think he's just a guest. Which is why he can't be harmed by any of the hosts.
Milk? no clue yet.
Flies? Maybe so they could say, "She wouldn't hurt a fly. To which she would then smack the shit out of a fly. I dunno.
I totally forgot about the 70's movie Westworld. In the first episode they mentioned the last time there was a "problem" was 30 years ago - wonder if they were referring to the events from the movie?
But I really like the subtle editing to make the glitches and facial expressions. Read an article yesterday (which I can't find for some reason) that talked about the acting and editing and mentioned the movie which I had forgotten about, but immediately remembered the cover artwork from when I was a kid at the video store.
- Yeah the older robot that Ford talks to at the end is awesomecannonball1978
- Er not at the end... in the lab I meancannonball1978
- The man in black was a robot in the movie.
But James Marsden couldn't shoot him, so I don't know.freedom - 30 years ago was obviously a reference to the movie.freedom
- i'll point out that the 70's were 40 years ago, not 30 ;_; we're all aging incredibly rapidly.sarahfailin
- 1973 is the year it came out.sarahfailin

I think the flies give up who's a robot and who's not?
