report them to who?
As I said, I don't know but obviously the 2 guys were scared enough to do as she demanded.
The wipe is not working on her so she could tell the guests
why would the guests care?
Yelp. And that's how the management would find out about the repair guys "five minutes in heaven" side business.

I'm stuck at the midway point of episode 4. I want to like the show but I don't think I care.

Well, I was wrong. Kinda surprised by how that ended as well.

- Spoiler: show
- So, I'm thinking with Bernard being a host and all - is it possible that he's based on Albert and that Ford (obvi) is a straight up monster who killed Albert but still wanted to create something in his image? Just spit balling but plenty of possibilities with the Bernard revelation

It is certainly possible.

I don't see articles complaining about the nudity in this show like we got with game of thrones

I've seen it mentioned, but it's usually just a casual "Westworld has the same issues with nudity as GoT." I think even people who feel strongly about it just are fatigued by the fact that flagship HBO dramas just
need to have excessive nudity. There was a slight rumbling when Elsie was ogling a black guy's dick, but it was a different sort of criticism.

And yeah the Bernard reveal was executed well, but I feel like we've all just come to expect things like that in mystery box shows. The work they did with Teddy in the premiere was much more effective; here's hoping there are no more hidden hosts out there.

Westworld is actually just a room in the old age home of the future where they've given Anthony Hopkins his dream come true as his real self succumbs to dementia. Nobody else is real.

Why? What in the show mandates multiple timelines?

Apparently William (the guy hanging out with Dolores) keeps strolling past "old" Westworld logos, or something.

Never noticed. But couldn't that be because they are in rarely used areas of the park?

The running theory is that: since no humans have interacted between the William and Man in Black stories (only hosts like Dolores and Lawrence, who don't have a lifespan and don't age), that there's no reason to believe yet that they're occurring at the same time; many people believe that William is the Man in Black (which is why we haven't heard his name yet, and we know Ed Harris is rich, and we know that William is about to marry into money). There are holes in this theory, but it's possible.
And now, with the last episode, there are people who believe that the scenes where Bernard talks to Dolores in the basement where Theresa dies isn't Bernard at all, but that it's Arnold from back before he died. When Ford is telling Bernard the story of him and Arnold in an early episode, he shows him a picture that's ostensibly of him and Arnold (
http://imgur.com/o8xcZIH). That man in the photo is the host that Arnold meets in the cabin, which is why he asks, "Are you Arnold?" However, since we see this in an "over-the-shoulder" shot from Bernard's perspective, it's now fishy that we've got two dudes (one we know is a host) in an off-centered photograph. The theory goes that there's a third man in the picture, Arnold, off to the right, but Bernard can't see him because he can't see things that would hurt him ("What door?" / "It doesn't look like anything to me"). Bernard is his own consciousness that was designed by Ford, just like everybody else, but physically he's a recreation of Arnold.

Possible, but it might also be that like GoT they were shot at the same time in different locations so it's geography and budget that prevent the actors from being in both scenes.

Bernard like "been Arnold"? I dunno. Possible I suppose. You are on to something with the photo, they wouldn't have shown it if it weren't relevant, but it seems like other people (not hosts) would recognize him if he were. Esp. given the 'no aging' of the hosts. One thought I had was that maybe Ford was making himself in the basement lab.
