I'd be surprised if William didn't bond with the hosts in some way that would mean he'd keep his white hat, but on behalf of the hosts. There's little doubt that if the hosts start to rebel while they're still in the park, Logan will do his best to put an end to the creatures in the swiftest way possible. Logan immediately treats the hosts like things. I wonder what the ratio is between potential heroes and villains coming into the park and at what level would be the normal person, who just wants to ride horses and goof around.Įven more importantly, will they be able to maintain their black and white hat status during their time in the park? Given what we know is going on, we can expect the guests to choose sides, even if what that looks like might not be such an easy discussion. It's in his nature to be the hero, while it's in William's to be the villain. William bumps into someone and apologies. But the general courtesies William shows others shouldn't be destroyed as easily as Logan expects. Whether those two roles hold up will probably be the point of all of this. We find out relatively quickly once inside the park Logan is a jerk and William remains kind.
And I can't fuckin' wait to meet that guy. But by the end you're going to be begging me to stay because this place is the answer to that question you've been asking yourself. This place seduces everybody, eventually. Logan: I know that you think you have a handle on what this is gonna be, guns and tits and all that mindless shit that I usually enjoy. As far as I can see, it's an assumption on his part. As he's in the initial act of doing said things, he has no idea whether they're playing a role or not. Logan is a long-time visitor and returns because he's comfortable with the idea of doing whatever he wants to the people in Westworld. Not knowing what lies ahead doesn't seem like his thing. He gets excited during his dressing, and, of course, picks the white hat on his way out the door, he carries trepidations with him as he goes. William: So how does this work? Is there an orientation?
Thankfully, we're seeing the "Welcome to Westworld" experience through William.
