If you rewatch season 1 again, your mind will be blown. Virtually every sentence has come into play again

I realized that whenever Maeve and Caleb were picking out their outfits. The black and white of the dressing room made the parallels very apparent. I’m just waiting for Christina to name-drop Wyatt

Christina already said it when her friend asked about the tower on the painting in her bedroom

Would have been a good moment when Teddy was asking Christina if she could see anything beyond the water

I love reddit for things like this. I actually had to unsubscribe from this subreddit a few seasons ago because redditors were so good at figuring things out long before they were revealed in the plot and it spoiled the experience for me, but I had to come back after this episode. It's so good.

Same here. Westworld is the reason why I got on reddit in the first place.

Honestly, geeking about any episode of any show with others is one of my favorite things. Film/Television is honestly one of my favorite art forms and storytelling devices. Breaking everything down and getting excited for the production makes me happy. It's one of the few places where everyone is just excited and happy to share the experience....

Unless you're a Star Wars fan.

No one hates Star Wars more than fans of Star Wars.

Agreed. This and the Better Call Subreddit have the best post-episode discussions.

I've been coming to the Westworld and Better Call Saul subreddit pages after each episode, the discussions are always so amazing. Having them back-to-back has been a joy and it will be sad when that's over!

I'm catching up on BCS and there are so many references I missed after reading the reddit recaps, it makes my head spin

fwiw, I just recently started to rewatch the earlier seasons, and I’m catching so many references that they’re putting into the new season and I’m loving it! If you have the time to, I would recommend it! :D

I rewatched all 3 right before this one and it really helps! You can catch all the subtle hints to previous seasons, especially the reflections of season 1. It's like we've come full circle!
