![]() ![]() That incident comes in the form of William’s (Ed Harris) final game. While we don’t need many outside influences to be self-destructive, the end of the human race could use an inciting incident. Westworld has made it clear that humanity was always going to destroy itself. Here is everything you need to know about the ending of Westworld season 4. Well, wouldn’t you know it but Bernard was right this whole time! The ending of Westworld season 4 sees the destruction of the human race (save for some stragglers who will die off eventually) but hopefully only the beginning for humanity’s robotic offspring. In fact, Bernard knows he can only mitigate the end, not prevent it. He repeats this fact to just about anyone who will listen. That's as good a reason as any to give somebody a VIP pass.Upon returning from The Sublime at the end of season 3, Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) has been convinced that the end of all sentient life on Earth is imminent. ![]() After all, he literally saved the place from being destroyed –according to him, anyway. This little tidbit also manages to explain why MiB has super-special VIP privileges while in Westworld. This seems like a huge hint that the Dolores/William portion of the storyline is heading towards some encounter with Arnold – one in which Dolores (wittingly or unwittingly) participates in nearly destroying the park, only for William to prevent that from happening. MiB also explained that the "man" he's referring to almost took Westworld down with him when he died 35 years earlier – and would have, if not for MiB. While not definite, it's quite clear that this man he's referring to is very likely Arnold, Ford's former partner and the most likely culprit for the one who's leading Dolores astray during the William/Dolores scenes. MiB retorted that he'd need to dig up a "man died 35 years ago" in order to get the moral. Ford asked, quite straightforwardly, why he doesn't just ask for "the moral of the story" if that's what he's seeking. Exhibit B – William's Confrontation With Loganĭuring a very tense conversation, MiB attempted to explain to Ford why he is seeking the maze. By all accounts, William has stopped "playing along" and is now all in on Westworld – which could be a dangerous first step in the direction of becoming the park's "ultimate villain" in the future. On top of all that, William abandoned Logan, allowing his frenemy (and future brother-in-law) to be beaten to a pulp while he escaped with Dolores. Though technically she initiated the kiss, he was all too interested in continuing it. Plus, that steely-eyed look William got when he shot the soldiers and "saved" Logan? It's pretty familiar – quite similar to the hardened look we've seen in the Man in Black's eyes ever since he was introduced.Īlso notably, William kissed Dolores. This is a prominent moment because he'd promised the group that nobody would get hurt, and Dolores was, obviously, horrified at the sudden violent outburst. ![]() First, he killed several of the Union soldiers during the nitroglycerin robbery. He turned down Clementine's advances twice (most prominently on "The Stray") and has refused to resort to violence – unless, of course, saving a damsel in distress.īut "Contrapasso" saw William finally lose his cool, several times. He's been the quintessential "White Hat." Whether it's pleasures of the sexual variety or straight-up violent debauchery, William has 100% not been into indulging in anything. Thus far in the season, William has resisted "giving in" to Westworld's temptations. Here are several pieces of evidence from tonight's episode that appear to support the William = Man in Black theory. The evidence for this theory thus far is surprisingly solid, and "Contrapasso" serves to make it even more likely to be proven true. The other, with William, Logan, and Dolores, is approximately 35 years earlier and is the origin story of the man we'll come to know as the Man in Black – formerly known as William. One, with Hector, Maeve, Teddy, the Man in Black, and the Westworld employees, is the present. Many viewers believe that we're actually watching two separate time periods simultaneously. One popular theory connects two leading characters in a surprising way – and this Man in Black and William Westworld theory might have been confirmed in the latest installment, "Contrapasso."įor those unfamiliar with what is arguably the most likely of the Westworld theories floating around out there on the internet, it's very straightforward. On top of all that, the show is filled with subtle hints towards a much deeper story, leading viewers to form many well thought-out fan theories. The phenomenal performances, the amazing music, the beautiful visuals and scenery are all contenders for the short list. There are so many things to love about Westworld. ![]()
