I suspected Benard was a robot from the start. He was too quite and reserved and he never seems to change his clothes. I figured that Anthony Hopkins was using him to help manage his other robots in the park. After all he has story lines to write for the other robots.
It's a fair question. I don't think there was any one thing. His interactions with Dr. Ford just seemed "off". Maybe it was also because I expected a big "twist" and that felt like the most obvious one.
Well, this week's season finale ended in a bang (or two)! What a great show.
BTW I guessed Bernard was a host about half way through the episode, but wasn't sure until the "what door" comment. I really like this show. It took me a while to get used to the timeline jumping around.

So, for season two the limiters are removed from the hosts? 
Gonna have to watch the first season again sometime before season two starts.

I'm not so sure about that. The question might be who is really in control.
Remember that Maeve Millay may not be as unrestricted as she thinks. The "improvisation" and what she thought was here independent thought was scripted but the host refused to believe she was being controlled by any programming
Question for season 2 is will there be any guests left except for the Asian tech? Gotta love those FN P90's.
Love all the West World and Future World movies and the series is cool as well. I think Anthony Hopkin's character is not really dead. He built a host to be used in the finale to be taken out like the vips.
I have to go back and re-watch the whole series, which is still on my Dish DVR. We see a body being knitted in Ford's basement but really didn't pay attention to which timeline that was in. It could have been Arnold's/Benard's body or Ford's replacement if seen in the current timeline. I haven't payed too much attention to the on-line chatter and theories, but I think it was Arnold's replacement body Ford was creating to " have that perfect partner. "
Season 2 kicks off Sunday night on HBO, plus it's a free preview weekend. I haven't gone back to binge Season 1 yet, "Lost in Space" and "The Santa Clarita Diet" took up my last few weekends...
"Westworld" has definitely exceeded the bounds of its programming from season one. And an incredible performance by Thandie Newton (Maeve) in learning Japanese and delivering it flawlessly.
Last night's episode was probably Westworld's best yet. It really drew me in emotionally. Absolutely fantastic.
And I loved the piano cover of "Heart Shaped Box" by Ramin Djawadi - IMDb
(for those with iTunes: Heart-Shaped Box (From "Westworld: Season 2") by Ramin Djawadi)
Loved it last night. So is AI able to naturally awake and be born again?

Oh by the way . . . season 3 has started. This is the first season that I've signed up to watch week-to-week instead of doing just one month after the entire season airs. So far, so good.
