75 thoughts I had while watching the “Westworld” season finale

Well, folks, we made it. The Westworld finale ended Season 1 on a very high note and now we have to wait two years until we see what happens next. Gaaaaah, I know. And last night’s extra long episode (at a whopping 94 minutes) was probably one of the best yet. Of course, there were lots of MAJOR reveals and answers to all our theorizing questions. And there were some very LOL moments, too (lookin’ at you Felix and Armistice!). Honestly, there was just a heck of a lot to wrap our heads around in general. So, here are a bunch of thoughts I had during the Season 1 finale of Westworld.

**WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD**

  • 1. I can’t believe we have to wait until 2018 for Season 2…Ugggghhh.
  • 2. WOW those are some very impressive visual effects, skinless-Host Dolores looks awesome AF.
  • 3. Nah, Man in Black, you shouldn’t trust Dolores with that knife.
  • 4. Hey look, it’s ARNOLD! Or is it BERNARD?! I can’t keep track.
  • 5. Still cannot get over how much Logan’s pin looks like the Hand of the King pin from Game of Thrones. I see you, HBO.

  • 6. LOL, I shouldn’t laugh at Teddy shooting that big jerk dude, but like…FINALLY!
  • 7. UH, we’re like 15 minutes into the episode and they’re ALREADY going to show us the END OF THE MAZE?
  • 8. “This is it?!” Our thoughts exactly, Man in Black.
  • 9. There better be some mind-blowing shit in that grave Dolores digs up.
  • 10. Nope. There’s a creepy old tin can with a literal maze inside.
  • 11. Come on Dolores, say it…“Mine! MY VOICE!”
  • 12. The Man in Black is SO CLUELESS.
  • 13. Can’t get over ~young~ Anthony Hopkins trotting down the hall with SUCH SASS.
  • 14. Oh, SHIT. Dolores is going to KILL EVERYONE!!!
  • 15. DOLORES IS WYATT CON-FUCKING-FIRMED!

  • 16. Dolores: “His path will lead him back to me, and when he finds me… he’ll kill you.” MiB thinking: “Oh, YOU MEAN ME?!?!”
  • 17. Okay, now I just feel bad for Logan.
  • 18. Sure, Charlotte, just go ahead and literally touch everything on Ford’s desk. Rude.
  • 19. Why are the Hosts’ mouths covered in tape?!
  • 20. OMG this gross lab guy.
  • 21. Nooooooooooooo. No to the nth degree.
  • 22. Hehe. Rodrigo Santoro’s butt just rolling around naked on a stool.
  • 23. Nope. Don’t do it. Don’t stick your finger in her mouth.
  • 24. EWWWWWWWWW.
  • 25. Wait, is that a mini tube of lube?! LOL and also, YUCK.

  • 26. OKAY HOW IS SECURITY NOT SEEING ANY OF THIS?!?!
  • 27. Nothing like pushing a guy through a glass wall while totally naked.
  • 28. It’s official. Armistice has THE best facial expressions. Love her.
  • 29. Here we go…they’re FINALLY going to confirm that WILLIAM IS THE MAN IN BLACK.
  • 30. THAT’S how the photo of William’s fiancé found its way to Abernathy’s ranch?! I don’t buy it. There has to be a better explanation.
  • 31. THE HAT. THE BLACK HAT.
  • 32. They’re at the end of the park, but there’s more land beyond. WHERE DOES IT GO?
  • 33. Bye, Logan.
  • 34. Bet he comes back next season as a very angry, old man, though.
  • 35. That fucking can of milk.

  • 36. WILLIAM IS THE MAN IN BLACK. BOOM.
  • 37. From here on out I’m referring to Man in Black as William.
  • 38. So, okay…WAIT… everything we’ve seen of William/Dolores’ adventure so far has just been ~present day~ Dolores having intense flashbacks?
  • 39. I’m still very confused.
  • 40. Oh, shiiiiiiiiit. Dolores is going FULL TERMINATOR on William!
  • 41. You go, Dolores.
  • 42. HAHAHA FELIX.
  • 43. “For fuck’s sake you’re not one of us!” Want that on a T-shirt.
  • 44. Oh SHIT. “Not the first time you’ve awoken, either.”
  • 45. For someone who OWNS Delos/Westworld, William is not too bright.

  • 46. Maeve’s still being programmed?!?!
  • 47. Betcha Ford is the one doing it.
  • 48. Apparently Westworld has a beautiful beach coastline!

  • 50. WHOA…ALL OF THIS REALLY WAS A NEW NARRITIVE!?!
  • 51. “Journey into night.” Erm, isn’t that a famous play?
  • 52. The “Old Field Lab?” Is that the place under the church?
  • 53. Okaaaaay, so Westworld security DOES have cameras in the labs. WTF?!?! Did they not notice the fucking disaster happening earlier?
  • 54. Oh, you all are fucked, LOL.
