We guessed that the two were one and the same a long time ago, though I didn't believe it at first.

The Season 1 finale of “Westworld” airs Sunday, December 4 at 9 p.m. You can have a feeling, but until it’s really laid out, it’s just not going to make sense to you. You’ll never be able to really connect the dots. I should say, certain things you just won’t be able to guess. I dove into that and maybe figured it out beforehand. There’s a lot of mysteries surrounding a few of the characters that are still unanswered - these looming characters of Arnold and Wyatt. Were the three that you guessed ones that have happened yet? I ran onto set the next day and wagged my finger in his face, saying, “This whole time! This whole time!” Most of them were wrong, but I did guess three. He was my rock during the whole first season, and he would just get an earful every day from me about the thousands of theories that I had. We had a big text chain going around with Shannon Woodward, Jeffrey Wright and Jimmi Simpson, and poor Jimmi. It was torturous, but in the meantime all we did was spout theories.
So we all had to wait - for months! - to find out what was going to happen next and to find out how the series was going to end. It took us about a year to do Season 1, and we went on a hiatus right after we found out about Jeffrey’s character. That stuff cracks me up.Īnd since we didn’t have the scripts when we were filming, I was one of those people. They’re like, “Just remember: I said it first!” And they couldn’t be more wrong. I’m aware of some of them, and my favorites are when people will send me a dissertation on a theory they have, and they’re so sure. There are certain things that we’ll see which made that character so important to me and will make her so important to a lot of people.ĭo you read fan theories? Do you go online to see what people are talking about? The only thing I can say about Episode 10 is I feel like a lot of people are going to get up on their seats and clap. Every episode, she’s opening up more and more. She’s overriding her programming and her conditioning. I think as the show progresses, she’s transcending her role as the damsel, as the woman who’s supposed to stay at home. I’ve never been asked to stay and save the day.” I got a little teary-eyed and a couple of women on the set got a little teary-eyed, and I thought, “Wow. Everyone was kind of looking around, confused, and then I slowly crept back onto set and they asked, “What happened?” And I said, “I’m so used to running.
They grab him and pin him up against a wall, and he yells, “Dolores, run!” The first take we did, I ran - I’m not supposed to run. The moment that always sticks out for me is in Episode 5, when we see her take out five Confederatos that are holding Jimmi Simpson’s character hostage. Was there a particular scene or moment that made her stand out? I heard that out of all your past roles, Dolores is your favorite character. I think Season 2 is really going to be warp speed. I think it was always that Season 1 was going to be this backstory and set up - getting to know the park and characters. I know how our ending for Season 1 will segue into Season 2 and… wow. I know a little about what’s coming in Season 2. So do you know anything about what’s coming in Season 2? No one’s more excited than me to come back - I guarantee it! That’s the only clue I’m going to give you. We all kind of knew it was coming, but it’s such a relief to get the official word.
