History on Fire has a similar feel to it <| sep |> I believe that it ' s entirely possible they are taking us on a wild trick ride into us believing something that is fairly basic in terms of a shocking reveal . I ' ve been showing Westworld to my parents and sister while home for the holidays and they have no idea what ' s going on in terms of the subtleties of the theory stuff . I was fairly confident bernardbot was true really early on because of stuff you get see pointed out on here . they ' re a couple of episodes out but I can already tell that ' s going to melt their brains . Same with the timeline thing , they have no idea whatsoever . I ' ve also discussed the show with some friends who are all the way caught up and when I mentioned multiple timelines they were like WHAAAAAT ? ? Our perceptions of how obvious certain things are is skewed because we hang out on a forum full of crazy theory crafting .
