re: Westworld S1 E08: "Trace Decay"

I am thinking two times and no to Will=MiB. I think the scene with the church being buried seals it for me.

But I think for sure MiB and SuperMaeve are both happening in the present.

If anything they proved MIB does not equal William. William is in the future timeline. Not the past. The girl they showed with teddy and MIB was the same girl walking with the umbrella in Delores flashbacks. So to me that means they are in the same timeline.

That was also the hostess that greeted William when he arrived at the reception center before he got on the train.

So, to recap

1. She was in the old town Dolores was in where some earlier hosts were learning to dance, and I'm pretty sure where the massacre happened
2. She's with Teddy and MiB
3. She was William's greeter when he arrived before he got on the train.

THREE TIMELINES?!

One timeline

William is not the mib

Bernard is most certainly not Arnold

Most theories posted in the past 7 threads all debunked in one episode

Just had my mind blown by a friend of mine. Teddy (Theodore) killed the Minotaur.

Yeah I have no clue where all of these People are saying 2 timeliness confirmed. The opposite happened it actually pretty obviously showed it's 1 timeline. Some people just refuse to take off the tin foil hat

"Doesn't look like anything to me." is usually what hosts say when they see something real that's upsetting to them.

Keep telling yourself there's only one timeline, robot.

I don't think I have seen anything that proves multiple timelines.

"Doesn't look like anything to me"

Okay, how about that fricking church then?

It's nice and intact when Dolores is there with all the early hosts that she flashes back to massacred in the streets.

It's burned out and half buried when Ford goes up there with little boy host.

Two timelines. At a minimum

Not at all, in fact it confirmed one timeline. You clearly see that Delores is having flashbacks to the massacre 30 years ago when she's with william. A big point of the episode is in fact explaining how she's in the present remembering the past which is where she massacred everyone and then killed herself. Potentially with the help of a guest and this old town and church that she and William just discovered, which is the old church ford has something planned for, is where it all went down original and must've been one of the first towns in westworld.

I don't agree. Talahah Riley being in the park and her interaction with the MIB is present timeline. Her interaction with William is in the past. Hosts don't age but wear and tear still occurs. MIB's surprise at seeing and his words to her means her job as aWestworld greeter was years ago. It also could mean that William is MIB. There are at least three timelines going on here.

Added: on rewatch Talulah Riley was also in the town with the church before the massacre. Three timelines easily.

There's actually 3 timelines going on. You heard it here first

Nah. 12 or 13 posts above that.

i would have an easier time getting on board with the multiple timeline theory if not for one thing. this might be easily explained, but ford has interaction with people (including MiB) and hosts in both/multiple supposed timelines. he looks exactly the same in all of those interactions. he's an old man. wouldn't he either look younger or older in some of these interactions?

maybe if the timelines are within a short amount of time of each other, but i'm seeing 30 years being thrown around in this thread. he has looked the same age in every episode.
