Westworld Theory: The Great Loop

The hosts are all set in their little loops, but this Westworld Theory suggest that the loops might be quite a bit bigger than that.

This fantastic Westworld theory comes from vonviddy through the Westworld subreddit. Vonviddy argues that we all know the hosts are in their “modest little loops” as Ford put it, but perhaps they are also in bigger much more significant loops.

Here’s how vonviddy put it:

"35 years ago, it seems Dolores completed the maze by accommodating her bicameral mind (instead of going crazy like all those other hosts in the church). The center of the maze was the confession booth/elevator, through which she gained access to the facility and started killing real people (including Arnold). As we know, Arnold’s intention was for Dolores to help him “destroy this place.”This happens again 5 years later. It’s a loop. This time, though, Logan (rather than Arnold) falls victim to “Wyatt’s” (Dolores’) trigger finger. Dolores again descends the elevator to kill everyone in her way and escape. But, William NEEDS this story. He loves Dolores as Dolores–as a western damsel. Not as a remorseless sentient killer robot. So William kills Dolores, to reset her and save the park.This is what MiB is referring to when he says he saved the park 30 years ago. Logan now dead, William takes the reigns of Delos and makes a fortune.Present day: MiB has a change of heart. He regrets foiling Dolores 30 years ago, and so he’s trying to complete the maze himself to free all the hosts. To his chagrin, MiB will find that the maze is not what it used to be. As always, Ford has the upper hand."

This plays in perfectly with the theory that Ford’s great new storyline might actually include the hosts and their rebellion. Nothing has happened in Westworld without Ford seeing and being behind it after all.
