Having followed along, rewatching episodes and reading about fan theories, I felt like the length of the episode was a bit much. I felt like they were beating me over the head with it...
what song plays on the piano when Maeve wakes up in the salon?
That's Amy Winehouse's Back to Black if we're thinking of the same scene. You mean the one with the new Clementine, right?
It's not that one. It starts with a baseline and is on every time Maeve wakes up back in town after being killed. Probably the most used song on the show.
comes down to a matter of preference. I agree "spoilers" are much worse on something like Game of Thrones (actual spoilers) than with Westworld (people trying to, and succeeding in, putting things together).
It just lessened my enjoyment of the show a little bit to know about Bernard being a host, that he was based of the park's creator, the two timelines/man in black's origin, all only a couple episodes into the show. I understand that a lot of people might like the roadmap since if you're not following along the show can feel all over the place. Just a matter of preference.
Did anyone else think they were playing "exit music for a film" by Radiohead toward the end of the finale?
Why Sylvester (the other tech) didn't shut down Maeve when he had the chance.
The part where Felix worries that he's actually a host was hilarious.
I didn't think he got the chance? Felix gave her the admin privileges before Sylvester had a chance to shut her down, no?
Or are you talking about something I missed in the finale?
Either way, I can buy Felix and Sylvester going along with her until they arrive and see that she's actually killed somebody. You'd think that would cross the line. But I guess they're supposed to be scared for their lives as well? I dunno- I thought it odd- I figured they would abandon her/be killed by her once she started killing their co-workers.

The most used song has to be "Sweetwater" - a.k.a. "The Train Song", though it might as well be called "Teddy's Theme" or "Groundhog Day". Serious earworm, for something plinked out on an out-of-tune upright piano. Great use of train sounds and musical cliches from old westerns.

Not in the finale, but where Felix reboots her in an earlier episode.
The different worlds. SW was more then likely for Samari World for the majestic time period in Asia or MW for mid evil world for Europe. Lots of people that liked the movie clamoured for the sequels to take place in different settings, so I see this as an omage to them.
Why was William never phased by getting shot? He gets shot in Sweetwater when he's younger and Teddy shoots him multiple times on two different occasions (at Dolores' house in the first ep and then again in the Finale)
He gets shot again at the end of the finale and again, it barely phases him.

The first bunch he knew he couldn't die due to the Host/Human rules. The last shot he definitely felt it, but it proved what he was looking for so it was sheer excitement that his journey wasn't dead in the water.

Its a good question. The last shot he takes to the arm does seem to draw blood which none of the prior instances did. Maybe there is some programming both in the hosts and the weapons that make the bullets non fatal if a host is shooting at a guest and at the end the hosts were able to override that programming?

My impression was always not that the humans in the park were immune to gunshots from hosts, just that the hosts were programmed to never shoot to kill them. We see it with Dolores a few times.. she can't pull the trigger on him because her programming won't allow. But for some reason Teddy shoots him on multiple occasions.
there were a bunch of hosts who have shot at William but none of them ever hit him. I think with Delores she was never programmed to be violent but Teddy was as her designated protector.
I think it's that the Westworld guns are designed to not hurt the humans. It's why Ford and Arnold leave Dolores with that specific gun towards the end.. the one she kills Ford with. I think it's the same one she killed Arnold with... it's the one he planted in her drawer and buried in her yard for her to keep finding so she'd remember. I think that gun is from the outside world.

Makes sense. I originally thought it was planted to start getting Delores to think back on her past but you could be right.

Yeah- the guns in WW only fire real bullets at hosts. It's some sort of BB that it fires at guests.
If you notice, when the park is new and William is young, the guns packed a bigger punch than the ones in the present- which don't even cause him to flinch. The first time he's shot in the flashback sequences he has a hell of a welt- when Teddy shoots him in ep1, it's like he doesn't even feel it. I thought that was a nice touch to show how the parks technology and safety has improved over the years.

+1. Can't wait for season 2.

I just saw SW which I assumed was for Samuri World
I didn't see an EW
