[@haraldhuber4328]

I'm pretty sure Dolores is Azor Ahai...

[@StarkaryenSnow]

with a bulletbringer

[@S1nwar]

one of the parks is "medieval fantasy world" :p

[@williamdrouin8063]

S1nwar grrm talked with Nolan and his wife about the possibility of a got park but it was just an idea, It won’t happen I think

[@spacepotato5524]

Dude tries to tell Maeve, a machine, that her daughter is just a machine. Lol, just give the robot its daughter, don't argue with it, damn. This is mind-boggling enough, man.

[@TheTakataka999]

That's not Dolores with Logan

[@SuperClarisso]

renard takataka yeah, that's the host who greeted william in the flashbacks, who became wyatt's follower in the "present" timeline

[@ginsengaddict]

Angela, I think that hosts name is.

[@SuperClarisso]

ginsengaddict that's the one. I find it funny that she is also Elon Musk's ex, and he is super freaked out about AI. And there she is in the trailer, with a crown of thorns shooting humans. It almost blends the show with real life.

[@vintagesummersx]

Yeah I spotted that too. Definitely not Dolores with Logan.

[@PresidentialWinner]

Looks like Talulah Riley

[@napiersh1]

Loved the use of heart shaped box in the trailer.

[@Salchipapafied]

I thought the same as well. It was a thoroughly enjoyable cover/re-imagining of the original.

[@AmericanMoviePodcast]

agreed it was DOPE

[@emotionallyslutty]

3:50 Isnt this the greeting lady from 30 years ago and not Dolores?

[@han__nya]

Yeah I think her name was Angela.And at the party she has her hair down, while Dolores has her hair attached in a bun.Definitely two different ladies and possibly two different scenes altogether.

[@ItsJessEdits]

yeah, its angela. Dolores was also at the same party but in a white dress, and her hair down. In a brief clip flashed across the screen, she is approached by either James Delos, or even maybe young william, and she's sitting down --- but HBO released an image of dolores in the white dress, outside the party. You can find some pictures here: imgur.com/a/heVBz

[@barbarajohnson1497]

but that photo of Dolores in the white dress shows her at a party with YOUNG Logan. The backdrop past the windows shows night with lighted skyscrapers...aka New York? where Logans sister was from. It also means it was a long time ago. The party scene where we see all the guests suddenly freeze.... means they are hosts. Hosts that are OUT in the REAL WORLD already and impersonating real people.

[@ItsJessEdits]

Yeah, the time with the skyscrapers has her in a black dress - im pretty sure that is current ( And i just realized she's seen what it looks like before when her dad, peter abernathy, showed her that photo at the ranch! ) and her hair is different - plus we haven't seen logan in that same shot of her. The parties are separate times and instances most likely

[@emotionallyslutty]

BARBARA JOHNSON OR it might be the Future World? :o

[@krystofdayne]

Great video. To be honest, I first got into Westworld because I saw your videos on it and thought "hmm Alt Shift X likes it, it can't be that bad". I do think you have that effect. So I hope you keep it up, and at any rate, I'll keep watching whatever you post because your quality is just always top notch!

[@guynumberfive9274]

I really appreciate how well these are put together. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@reddirt780]

Park 6 is Game Of Thrones. Dun dun dunnnnnnn!!

[@ThiccChickCrisha]

There are rumors of a breif crossover

[@williamdrouin8063]

Queen Smitherman not confirmed. Grrm talked about it with Nolan and his wife but it didn’t go beyond that. We might just be getting a medieval park and maybe a Rome park

[@AmericanMoviePodcast]

omg that would be INSANE

[@Mr.HotDogShirtGuy]

“If I die... don’t bring me back online.”

[@stephpavone]

More Westworld breakdown videos please. This video offered great perspective and information I’ve yet to see in the generic breakdown videos by others. Great job Alt Shift X!

[@leoberenson8476]

I actually cannot get over how fantastic this channel is. The thoughtful analysis coupled with the relevant visual aids just make every video an absolute pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@hugobeauvieux7584]

I've been on KZbin for hours, waiting for your video, thanks for your work

[@Mustachioed_Mollusk]

You are a youtube treasure, thanks for this.

[@Thedarkrainbow356]

I never comment your videos cause this channel is just so fantastic, please release more videos, I know it's a lot of work but we'll be so happy

[@Naberius359]

Love this channel. Your deadpan delivery is hilarious. Thank you.

[@wima13]

But what about Dany and her dragons?!?!

[@HxH2011DRA]

wima13 taking over Westeros all casual like

[@benjbk]

That's in world nr. 5.

[@mollymorris1482]

Medeival land

[@lake258]

fuck the dragons, when we have this

[@leolegendario1]

What about the Droid attack on the Wookiees?

[@PuertoricanFrodo]

Thanks for the Westworld video, my guy!

[@jilrme]

It's really nice to see your channel grows!!~

[@TheLastSoundNL]

I haven't seen a single episode of Westworld, but I still enjoy these a lot. Your voice and way of speaking soothes me, it's great to fall asleep with.

[@KillerFoods]

You never fail to make the highest quality content, great video as always

[@mfninja5190]

I’m gonna need a breakdown of every episode. This channel is great!

[@bcnofne5]

Shift, I really hope to see more WW videos. I'm digging the show and love your episode reviews. I know you have a lot to focus on now, and I hope to see ACOK Abridged continue, but your reviews are unbeatable. Keep up the great work!

[@michaelescobar90]

Love these Westworld videos! It’s an incredible, layered show.

[@jordanbrown261]

More more MORE Westworld videos!! AltShiftX is the only channel I trust for breakdown videos. I’d love WW theory videos like you do for GoT, too. Please!!

[@ItsJessEdits]

The person who slept with logan in that one shot wasn't Delores, it was Angela. She's also the one standing next to logan in the clip from the first teaser. Dolores is in the same room, and likely the same scene/time period, but she's in a white dress - you didn't show it in this video - but its briefly flashed in the new trailer where she is sitting down - and James Delos(or possibly young william) approaches her.

[@scrubplaceholder6216]

Absolutely I would want more westworld vids. Your video's are good mate, if possible, keep going.

[@LucarioZ1]

I appreciate the work that goes into these videos and I really enjoy watching them, I would definitely enjoy a week by week explanation video of Westworld season 2 and many other videos on the show. Perhaps videos on the FX TV Show 'Legion' also? That show always seems to need some explaining and theorisation xD

[@janjozefowski2423]

It's Angela, not Dolores next to sleeping Logan.

[@tomwalker5555]

Great breakdown as always, love this content

[@CharlesAbell]

Been with since the long long ago, you are the best of this “genre” of review videos across multiple shows. Have u seen Man in the High Castle? Would love to see your take on it.

[@sageakporherhe783]

great video as always man, cheers.

[@shaunthomason3712]

I'm so thankful for these videos

[@johnjohnson-os5gw]

Pleasepleaseplease do more Westworld!

[@Gillhawk]

Keep up the good work! I love your videos.

[@BrooksSeveer]

I have been waiting for this!!!

[@sophieyu9525]

I'm really going to need your season two explanation! The season one explanation was great!

[@LukeCampbellBrennan]

More Alt Shift X Westworld videos please. This long GoT night is dark and full of terrors, and these brighten it up.

[@JJ_957]

More Westworld! Love your Vids

[@SatyaVenugopal]

More Westworld content on AltShiftX? Yes, please!

[@kumachan9311]

[@Luishmedina]

Great video as always

[@LaurensCorner]

james delos reminds me of Abernathy...

[@paperhappymiss-studio]

This video's got me more hyped for season 2. I didn't catch them Bernards in the trailer, Charlotte's gonna make major trouble with those. Great one, ASX!

[@monty70]

Awesome video!

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Great stuff!

[@sarahgraves2618]

[@Holywind16]

[@haymaker710]

Find the door find the the door findor findor findor

[@colonelreb1014]

Hodor!

[@brianbrown7982]

[@evaneu7891]

[@DrINTJ]

Best show ever made and I hope they keep up the delicate balance between philosophical depth and entertainment.

[@StarkaryenSnow]

Super important vibranium unobtanium special nano stuff... thank you for reminding me of adamantium wolveranium Hugh Jackmanium...

[@niteowl365]

More West World, please!

[@russellroesner6073]

Ok. You win. Most logical, clear and to the point of anyone about Westworld so far. I subscribed and I NEver Subscibe to anything! Plus your pace is just right. Not to fast or slow.

[@Manking1337]

we want more westworld videos! :D

[@achraf7416]

more of westworld baby

[@3DaiYo4Kai56]

Hey you mentioned vibranium. Would love to see you do a MCU refresher analysis on infinity stones/gems before infinity war!

[@wetstoffels3198]

I want more Alt Shift X videos on Westworld.

[@akeee3855]

Yes more West World please :)

[@AmericanMoviePodcast]

agreed!

[@chillrace7417]

Ofc we want more of WestWorld from u

[@MiguelHernandez-cz2eh]

Nice video.

[@jasonhoffman4834]

Thank you.

[@seanclough7810]

It looks like some vibranium, unobtainium, nano tech stuff so ... keep an eye on that [I chuckled, ty alt shift eks for that]

[@jesmei6920]

MORE WESTWORLD VIDEOS, PLEASE!!!!!

[@ItsJessEdits]

Dolores didn't sleep with Logan; she's in a white dress with her hair down at the party, but it was Angela that was with logan. Look at these pics: imgur.com/a/heVBz

[@dogpiss6348]

Porn can wait...

[@bennygaray46]

Hey Vsauce. Michael here.

[@HerrJaeger64]

ikr

[@wadewilson9843]

Saladass It is better than porn

[@dantess2693]

The Drone Hosts look immense.

[@3DaiYo4Kai56]

Cool video.

[@eduardoschmitt2167]

Maybe it would be cool to revisit this video with all the information from the season 2.

[@simonwoodcock5455]

I wonder weather Alt sift x would consider doing videos on the Metro Books & or games.?

[@simba6698]

a video for every episode would be nice

[@BlackCrowOfDeath]

damn that was fast!

[@markelopez]

Yes, please, more WestWorld.

[@AmericanMoviePodcast]

agreeeeeed

[@boristhebdodger990]

Hey KZbin, I have NEVER bought anything because of your ads you bombard me with just to watch a video but I much appreciate you changing them to a alcoholic drink instead of shaving my balls.

[@moonyieqt]

Where’s Armistice?! 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bertvsrob]

find the door as well as being foreshadowing to Bill's journey to the gates of hell, is likely a reference/nod to the fact that even first gen bots like young robert could either sense something awry with their reality, or were gravitating towards behaviours that would lead to consciousness expansion. if you imagine young robert playing find the door at the cottage, and finding the door that bernard couldn't see, he would have unsupervised access to the remote diagnostic lab ergo may glean insight into his being

[@Qeldroma3111]

More please.

[@billtang79]

I can’t wait to see more of Maeve/Thandie Newton and how she is going to be a badass in shogun world searching for her daughter

[@amyfarrahfowler3563]

Yes. More!!

[@ThiccChickCrisha]

Who else can't wait for the season 2 soundtrack? That heart shaped box tho!...

[@---wq9xp]

The opening sequence of season 1 implied Dolores was going to be the man in Black (or maybe her origins as Wyatt. I'm super excited to see her turn from this demure, homestead southern Belle into this vengeful, wild west outlaw

[@AdrianMendoza23]

Cant wait

[@AmericanMoviePodcast]

agreed!!!

[@ghostlypigeon8823]

Perhaps the MIB is going to try and become a host and the ‘door’ is his entryway into it. This would give his life a new meaning: to help his hosts take down human civilization and become the next big species

[@FiresideHotTakes]

i want more alt shift x content on westworld

[@ILiekDeadpplz]

At this point, future WestWorld content is more important to me than future Game of Thrones content.

[@TheRandomYoYo]

YUS MORE WESTWORLD VIDEOS!!! Initially i wasn't very impressed with westworld due to the bold combination of "this is all a controlled environment and we are all very intelligent and serious people" and the thrown about facts that a Host can't shoot a Guest without explaining a thing (or maybe I missed the explanations?). But with video such as these, shifting focus to the more important aspects of the show such as the philosophy and concepts behind the story, I am getting very hyped and ready to look onto season two with better glasses. Thank you and keep up the amazing work! You never fail to impress!

[@InfoSecIntel]

I’ve never heard someone say “data” like that. Where is altshiftx from?

[@Buenomars]

Delos is making prototype Warframes!

[@Ani0227]

the girl in logans bed is not dolores. its angela. played by talulah riley. she was the greeter host that greeted william into the park and was then moved into the wyatt storyline.

[@rachelharrison568]

If you could break down every episode for Westworld like you do GOT, that would be great.

[@nwcarnelli6]

That isn't Delores @3:52... That is Talulah Riley, who was a greeter host at Westworld early on and then moved on from there

[@PunksterOS]

Am I the only one who was happy with how Season One ended here? Season Two I am sure will be fine but the story felt done at the climax of Season One, with just one or two things thrown in for sequel bait.

[@alexanderf8451]

Yeah, they setup a sequel but they also managed to tell a complete story.

[@asstaco]

I am, but i still wonder how things will go down :D i think the 2nd season has the potential to be as good as the first, maybe even better

[@Mobay18]

There was always planned 4 seasons as far as i know! Hopefully each season will feel like its own thing and hold the quality of the previous season.

[@infinitecrayons]

The top shows do feel like this; a complete story in their own mind while also setting up the next. This is especially important in a first season. Nobody wants to spend 10 weeks wondering what's going on and not finding out for another year nowadays.

[@PunksterOS]

Matic Debeljak I hope so but I believe that it will be a very slow burn in Season Two, especially compared to the first. There will likely be a hell of a lot of new set up to do, with them now knowing that they will get to make more, once season two is done. Planting seeds for a much later pay off. I hope not but that is what I am expecting. Mobydick Yes, I recall hearing that but that could just be Jonathon Nolan/Lisa Joy spin-doctoring because if I was in his/her shoes, I wouldn't want to reveal that it wasn't planned all along to have multiple seasons. That sort of information makes people nervous. It may well be true but considering how the first season was a bit of a mess before they did reshoots or whatever that 'Behind the scenes,' Drama was (I forget as I haven't thought about the show since it ended), I am doubtful they had planned anything past the first season at that time.
