Everything Ford said here is applicable to my experience with Westworld as a viewer. Sure, the violence and nudity are appealing but those are not the things that made the show great. It was the attention to detail. The layers upon layers of characterization. The elusive mysteries. The Journey Into the Night.

No, they don’t. It ended badly 😢 I was a huge fan of this series.

This scene and the buildup to the end credits are what truly captured my interest in Westworld. Very reminiscent of the early part of LOST and the creation of the sense of mystery that makes you want to see behind the curtain. Doesn't hurt to have a legendary actor deliver these lines and "extend the invitation".

There are many factors that make this show and scene great, but I think it really comes down to the writing. Ford is essentially a writer and with him being so old and smart, it makes sense that they could write dialogue essentially talking about why we enjoy stories in the first place. Which is really meta because we are seeing it done in a story

its somehow not related to main story, but one of best moment yet. If you use story line which full of action, big adventure, epic etc, the guest will feel like a gamer playing in west-theme park. Storyline that Ford wanted is storyline which makes guest feel so immersed that they become someone else in this other real world by give them believable storyline like become bandit, sherif, love finder, farmer, serial killer, prison breaker etc

I'd say it is actually important to the main story because this scene tells us exactly what Ford wanted his creation to be for and what it is at its best (and what it does for William), and it also shows us exactly what Ford thinks of just about everybody who's actually been using it all these years and about how they've been playing. No wonder he [ENDING SPOILERS].

A version that is free. Sizemore being a real person knows he is not free. He is bound by his bosses, deadlines, paycheck without which he cannot drink or fuck or live. But in the park, a free version of Sizemore is probably Hector. You can say Sizemore and Hector are the narrator and Tyler Durden.

Westworld is so layered, textured and deep...I love it. I also feel stupid as hell sometimes because I have to admit much of it goes right over my head. Just binged watched season 3 and I am as clueless as ever.

Imagine working as a storyboard artist, or a writer, on this show, then being faced with this scene. I think that'd ramp up the internal pressure pretty high.

Ofc there are some other shows that have had their quality dropped because they just dragged on for too long. Walking Dead is sad example of this.

0:40 ford looks amused but later he looks positively insulted

This doesn't look like anything to me.

Ford says, ".....they already know who they are. They want a glimpse of who they could be." That means the guests deviate from the loops in the park, isn't it?

I think both Lee and fords approaches to story telling both work and can/do work together as one. Think about it nothing has ever sat there and proclaimed "I have a good story,I have subtlety I have detail." It's that up to us as the viewer/reader to decide? The obscurity of those very details is what gives them meaning and every story needs a something to drag you in. A mask with witch these details can hide behind and jump out to the eyes of the observant. This is also true for how the Guests interact with the park. Lee: Guests find who they are Ford: A glimpse of who they could be. DROPING MASSIVE SPOILER BOMBS TURN AWAY NOW UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED THE SHOW. . . . . . . . . . In Willams chase he saw his darker side as who he could be in the park slowly embracing it so who he could be became who he was over time,Affter all if lee was wrong about people finding themselves will never would have done so and thusly invested HUGE shares into Westworld saving fords project. After all isn't our experiences that change us? Westworld is another experience yes those guests often act differently to how they normally would in this simulated environment, even if it's a glimpse of who they could be it still changes them. I really love this scene and all it's meaning to the show as far as foreshadowing is concerned. That and this was the first scene from the show i watched All be it out of contexts saw it differently then as a Commentary on differing approaches to story and writing structure and i guess judging by my comment i still do. Ether way have a good day everyone and enjoy the impending season 2.

The 'something quite original' with image of the cross on the church is a foreshadowing of self-sacrifice to free the hosts. Quasi Judeo-Christian allegory. Ford had been working on it for some time. Plays out in the finale quite accurately. At least that's my preferred view of the meaning.😃

Back when this show was truly well written, full of amazing scenes like this one. And this isn't just down to Hopkins' performance. The script was just so. Damn. Good. Leagues above anything that came after. Westworld went from storytelling masterpiece (season 1), to good but inconsistent (season 2), to absolute shit (season 3). At this point they can't possibly stay on the same trajectory, or season 4 will be straight up unwatchable.

He's supposed to essentially represent how HBO attracts creators with big ideas. They get the free reign to write the highbrow stuff they want to do, but there's still going to be plenty of blood, sex and overall nastiness to bring in viewers who want that stuff. The key is being good enough that while the R Rated stuff gets the audience, the highbrow writing keeps them.

'Something Quite Original' - Man once you've watched the whole season its pretty foreshadowing

Gracias por la escena, la primera temporada tiene un muy buen guión.

One could say that Ford just explain why old films and series sometimes beat the new ones, sure they new ones have better camaras and all that shit, but their movies and series doesnt had enough depth to catch the viewers.
