We’re thinking of making a short video explaining the timeline of Westworld S2E10 and of the series overall. This’ll be a basic explainer before a more in-depth S2E10 analysis video. Separating the basic stuff from the deep dive should make it easier for people to get the level of detail they actually want – and it avoids us having to juggle both the basics and the deeper analysis in one gigantic messy video. So I figure we’ll do a “Westworld S2 Timeline Explained” video over the next few days, then a “Westworld S2E10 Explained” video after that. Sound good?

Cause this finale is a real bloody doozy. Its central plot points alone are a lot to handle – the various human and host simulations in the Forge, Dolores’ machinations with the flood and the Valley, and her switcheroo as Charlotte. And the episode throws out many more unexpected curveballs – the death of Elsie, the Ford in Bernard’s head being Bernard’s own Bicameral voice, a deepening of James and Logan’s relationship,  Maeve getting BTFO for the umpteenth time, Kohana and Teddy’s roles in the Valley Beyond, Sizemore’s self-sacrifice, Stubbs maybe being a host, the mystery mind in Charlotte’s spare body with Dolores – and then after the credits, William being in some half-host far-future hell-loop with Emily.

There’s a lot of crazy stuff to work through here – let’s see what sense we can wring from this lunacy!

Cheers

Wait so your telling me we get 2 episodes for the price of one from the finale? Sounds epic to me ^_^

Yeah Kim Renfro has been updating that timeline all season, it's a great resource (:

Emily Knox

Yes, please. Two videos would be terrific.

Jay Hubik

I don’t see why not! Everyone and the mother doesn’t understand the timeline. I believe I have the gist down, but some back up from the great one would be nice.

Ashley Lancellotti

Yes yes! I'll eat up whatever additional content you serve!!!

Brandon Neil Howells

Please do a timeline if you can, Shifty, mate. I'm so _confused!_ Will wait however long it takes. Arigatou gozaimasu!

There are two things from season 1 that I still don't understand and if you could put them in sequence I'd be super grateful. 1 Dolores taking the secret elevator in the church confessional down to the basement and coming upon what looks like a post-massacre scene inside. Dead bodies are everywhere (can’t tell if they are host or human or both). The lights are flickering, as if this area has been abandoned. What/when is this? 2 Do we know why the lower floors of the Mesa were abandoned? I always assumed it was connected to the original massacre at Escalante and that Ford had both buried over the original town in the theme park and also abandoned the corresponding interior infrastructure of the company. But there is a giant globe with Delos on it down there. The first critical failure happened before Delos bought Westworld….

I think the second video is a really good idea! If Westworld itself can't clearly explain the timeline and all the plot points in an entire season, how the hell are you supposed to do it in one video?

Bible Spice

This would be super helpful.

Tyler Wise

Good luck, you got a difficult road ahead of you.

Matt Stephans

I'd love a breakdown (or overview) of the timeline of the entire series, if that's an option. Maybe just the key events over the 37 years.

Merlijn

Yes please do it! I will gladly wait for a more thorough unpacking of this whole thing, thank you very much.

Rikke Holmberg

Sounds great. If anyone can wring some sense out of this, it will be you.

Johan Törngren

Yes please! And don't feel stressed about getting this one out, we'll be waiting when you're ready :) <3

Shiera Seastar

I think you should, and make it all f*ed up just to mess with our minds!!!! Bwahaha!!!! ;)

Jeffrey Boerst

I truly hope you all take the Stubbs being a host bit with a HUGE grain of salt. I really think it's more that his season 2 story arc with his treatment by Delos has just made him not give a shit (as he said, his job is to keep the hosts safe, too) and having sussed Charlotte is a Host now (I don't think he knows which one) is just showing he actually IS savvy in his job but, again, "just don't care no more"... Thanks!

Jeff Hatfield

What ever happened to S02E09 explanation?

Jeffrey Boerst

He explained at the end of the E08, I believe, he was skipping the E09, and going right to the after episodes. Can't remember the reasoning but I remember thinking it made sense when I heard it explained. ;)

Johann Naylor

Doing a separate timeline video makes sense with the understanding that episode 10 is a resolution to like 4+ different story arcs. Formatting each of those story arcs out separately might work as well. Like your character focuses for GoT.

Yeah I like the deliberate ambiguity of the Stubbs thing. It's definitely leading the viewer to think Stubbs is a host, but it'd also be cool for Stubbs to be a human who is sympathetic to hosts..
