I don't know. If some robot (host) has a moment of self awareness and chooses to attack a guest, all bets are off.
I had a thought about why I was so broken hearted for the rancher.
The hosts, when they have a moment of clarity are very much like Alzheimer patients. An Alzheimer patient tends to be someone who has to have things very regimented. Very consistent from day to day. If things are different for them, it can send them into hours of agitation. So, if their spoon is in the wrong place, it can make or break a day for them.
When this rancher host finds the picture, it has put a kink in his very regimented day. And although a guest can always change his storyline, it is still very much within the scheme of the wild west. But, this picture was of a girl in a modern day city. It messed with his very organized way of looking at the world. And like an Alzheimer patient, they can have moments where the fog lifts, of knowing they are "wrong." Something is wrong with them.
It is heartbreaking and I guess I saw that vulnerability in the rancher. Still breaks my heart when I think about it.
Tonight a new episode and more of the puzzle -- can't wait!

I heard Radiohead 'no alarms and no surprises'.

I hate to admit it but I don't even know this song - however they did show the player piano in several scenes so maybe it played more than one song?

WESTWORLD (Season 1) - Song/Music List
Actually I am recording episode two right now and just finished watching episode one from last week
Episode Two was much more engrossing and thankfully built up on the setup done in episode one.
More Anthony Hopkins is never a bad thing either.

so, what hat would you chose?
I watched a cartoon years ago called me Ben, in which he went into a fancy dress shop and chose his costume - then walked out the changing room door into his weekly adventure .
man, I'd love the chance to stand in Westworlds costume hall and chose my Stetson -

I wonder if the robot programmer is purposely planting virus to make the robots rebel?
Show two was a really nice entry. I loved
that Anthony Hopkins met the young Anthony Hopkins in the desert. That was a nice touch.
I see a lot of references, but missed this one. What was it?
When the one guy gets off the train and jokes to the hostess he's afraid of clowns.
Watched it last night and I was wondering the same thing, arista. Was nice to see Jon Snow's dire wolf taking a vacation at Westworld too.
I'm wondering if Ed Harris, our man in black is
Richard Benjamin's character from the original show. He was the only survivor, right? And Ed Harris has said he's been coming there for 30 years.
