Here’s what will keep us guessing until season 2:
1.
What happened to Elsie and Stubbs? This was probably the biggest omission. Two key characters vanished without a trace before the finale. The last time we saw witty tech programming Elsie she was being kidnapped by Bernard several episodes back, while the steely security chief Stubbs was ambushed by Ghost Nation natives in the penultimate episode.
2.
Where is the park located? We expected to get a revelation, or at least a major clue, in the finale. Maeve seemed on the verge of finding out when she got on that last train to escape the park before all hell broke loose. But when she abandoned her plan to search for her daughter, putting a key mystery on hold until the show returns in 2018.
3.
What happened to Logan? We last saw the callous park guest tied naked to a horse being trotted off into the distance in what we realized was a flashback to decades earlier. We can assume William out-maneuvered his Delos rival when they got back to the real world. But will we ever see him again?
4.
How many robot worlds are there? The tantalizing backstage glimpse of Samurai World, and Maeve’s note about her daughter being located in “Park 1” strongly suggests there are multiple Delos parks. But how many, exactly?
5.
Did Lee Sizemore, Charlotte Hale and the Man in Black survive the initial slaughter? The Man in Black is definitely returning for season 2, and we just assume the TV death rule here on the others – if you don’t see ‘em die, they’re still around.
6.
How much of Ford’s new narrative was seen by the VIP crowd?We know the black-tie crowd saw the end of Dolores and Teddy’s tale play out on the beach. But were they also aware of the previous scenes with the Man in Black? What about some of the initial scenes of Maeve’s scripted rebellion backstage? How meta was this story, exactly?
7.
Was Ford really human? And now, is he really dead? Ford’s ending has the feeling of actual finality to it. But with
Westworld, you can never be too sure.
8.
Is Maeve still on her script? Bernard said that Maeve’s movements were being scripted, including (during a bit of foreshadowing) getting on the train to escape the park. So is her decision to get off the train and search for her daughter really her own? Or is that by design as well?
10.
What was Delos’ top secret project? That the corporation has a super-secret project that goes beyond a mere theme park using Ford’s technology has been teased from the very first episode. I’ve been assuming – and continue to assume – that it’s a way for humans to upload their consciousness into host bodies. There was another reference to the project in the finale between Hale and Ford, but it’s exact nature remains a mystery … for now.
