Season one of "Westworld" raised far more questions than it answered. But that's why we loved it.
Like "Game of Thrones," it's one of those shows that spawns theories, making its ambiguity one of the best parts of watching it. Season one's mysterious story, characters, and expansive park left room for a wild second season, which expands beyond Westworld.
Here, we collected our biggest questions after season one that we hope get answered in season two.
Season two of "Westworld" premieres on HBO Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET.
Did Robert Ford want Dolores to kill him?
Ford, played by Anthony Hopkins, was the director of Westworld and one of the cofounders. In the season one finale, we find out that Ford planned a host rebellion, which he called his "final story." At a fancy dinner party, Dolores and other hosts come in and try to wipe out the humans. Dolores shoots Ford in the head. But did Ford intend to die? It seems like he did, but if he didn't that would tell us the hosts are out of his control.
Are hosts still acting on Fords orders, or do they have complete free will now?
Given that Ford is dead, it would make sense if the hosts, including Bernard, are relieved of the narratives he created for them. But Ford seems to have had a grand plan, which could've been planned to last long term. We think that Maeve acted against Ford's orders by getting off the train in the finale, but what about the other hosts? Does Dolores actually have the free will she thinks she has, or did Ford write that into her narrative?
Where's Elsie?
Elsie Hughes is the behavioral specialist who Bernard seemingly strangled under Ford's orders. Her fate was left up in the air, and word is she's somewhere in the park. Now that the hosts are in the park and unhinged, we're a bit worried about her.
