It's just all over the place with the plotline. Are the hosts alive? Is Emily alive? What timeline is what?

There's some nice action, but it just feels all so confusing in the end. Delos staff, hosts, William. I honestly have no idea what's going on.

After reading reviews and interviews by Westworld staff, I understand a bit more. It all comes down to Dolores and Bernard in the end. I think the Ford and Man in Black plotlines are over, but I can't say for sure. I'm sad that Elsie died, I liked her character quite a bit.

Yeah, I was pissed that Elsie died too. I liked her character and she was...kinda hot . I don't know what's going on with the man in black. Seeing him sit in the chair as someone stood over him with, a scenario that we've seen many times with hosts before, had me thinking that he was a host. Then when his fingers were blown off, I feel like I saw bone but I didn't go through the process of rewinding and pausing to confirm. The after credit scene, truly has me confused. If he is a human, why would he need to be tested for fidelity? If he is a host, why do they really care? He can function in the world and in fact, they discovered that human minds translate into relatively simple codes.

It would be interesting to see Dolores played by a new actor in the upcoming season, although I believe they might just print another copy of her old body. This question also shows that I'm confused about the ending. Whas Dolores really back in her original body? If so, who's mind is in Hale's body? The actual Hale? I'm definitely going to rewatch the season to see if I can pick up on the times that Hale was actually Dolores (no arm swinging, eyes move before head...check check).

I think my biggest challenge with this show is keeping up with the timeline. I just can't keep up with what is the present or past or future. Figuring out who is human is becoming a bigger and bigger challenge but like one woman said in season one, "if you can't tell, does it matter?"
