Summary: <a href="http://postshowrecaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/thandie.jpg"></a><br> Listen to the Podcast:<br> Welcome to Westworld! Every week, Josh Wigler (<a href="http://twitter.com/roundhoward">@roundhoward</a>) and Jo Garfein (<a href="http://twitter.com/jopinionated">@jopinionated</a>) will discuss the new HBO series about an old west theme park built in a futuristic world, populated by robot hosts and human guests. Theories, analysis, and overall madness is sure to ensue.<br> This week, Josh and Jo talk about “The Adversary,” the sixth episode of the series. It’s a Thandie Newton showcase as Maeve questions and answers the nature of her reality, discovering the full basic truth about Westworld and her existence as a host. Plus, Robert Ford reveals some secrets of his own, and we can now officially name the young boy “Robot Ford,” much to a troubled Bernard’s chagrin. The mole stands revealed as well… or does she? And even without Dolores and William in play this week, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it development that all but confirms the two timeline theory.<br> Subscribe at <a href="http://postshowrecaps.com/westworld">postshowrecaps.com/westworld</a><br><br> E-mail us at <a href="mailto:westworld@postshowrecaps.com">westworld@postshowrecaps.com<br><br> </a>Send your questions and theories in through our <a href="http://postshowrecaps.com/feedback">feedback form</a>, and ping Josh and Jo on Twitter.<br> Curt Clark (<a href="http://twitter.com/curtclark">@CurtClark</a>) provides his thoughts on the two timeline theory:<br> <br> In listening to your Episode 4 recap, Jo mentioned that Westworld isn’t the sort of show you can multi-task where you can multi-task while watching. And she was 100% correct. I felt completely lost and resolved to go back and binge watch the first five episodes…and I began to observe some interesting things that largely support a dual timeline narrative…one centering around William and Logan and one for pretty much everything else.<br> As I began to track the William and Logan storyline, which was featured in Episodes 2, 4 and 5 (with a brief touchpoint at the end of Episode 3), I noticed something interesting…there are quite a few characters, both in front of and behind the scenes, that NEVER intersect with their storyline. To note, William and Logan have never interacted or crossed paths with the following people: Teddy, Maeve, The Man in Black, Ford, Bernard, or anyone else working in what I term “Mission Control.” We only see them interact with Dolores, Clementine and (in Pariah) Lawrence. Of note, when Mission Control is considering retiring Maeve, they mention that Clementine could take over the brothel because she’s run it before. In Episode 2, we only see Clementine at the brothel when William and Logan first arrive in Sweetwater…no Maeve. Is she running it at this point? This also fuels my theory that Teddy is a host that was made as an homage to William…the two main “good guys” in Dolores’s life. Recall that both William and Teddy have an encounter with Dolores where she drops a canned good out of her bag and it rolls and they stop it with their feet…this could be viewed at the surface as just a nice parallel between two moments…or was Teddy re-enacting something he was programmed to that was meant to mirror a moment William shared with Dolores many years ago? And note that the Man in Black also mirrored the same “can stopping” action in a third instance. Further connection between William and the Man in Black?<br> There are a couple potential violations of this, depending on how you view the edit. First, at the end of Episode 3, right before Dolores shoots her potential rapist in the barn of her family’s homestead, she has a momentary vision where she sees her attacker as The Man in Black.
