AceShowbiz - HBO's apocalyptic series "Westworld" didn't even give fans a second to breath. Right in the premiere episode of season 2, fans of the hit series starring Evan Rachel Wood and Jeffrey Wright were offered a timeline twist. Barely recovering from the confusing plot, fans were further sent into bewilderment with the post-credit scene in its season finale.
Written by series creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the scene featured the Man in Black (Ed Harris) finally passing through "the Door", the destination he's searched for all season long. Instead of going inside and meeting Dolores (Wood) and Bernard (Wright), it was later revealed that he had arrived in an entirely different timeline as the scene was packed with multi-layered timelines.
When he entered ruined "The Forge", he found a woman that looked like his daughter Emily (Katja Herbers) though he knew it was not her since he killed her just in the previous episode. Referring to the simulated world, he said, "I knew it. I'm already in the thing, aren't I?" The faux Emily responded, "This isn't a simulation, William. This is your world -- or what's left of it."
Explaining the scene, Joy shared, "In the far, far future, the world is dramatically different. Quite destroyed, as it were. A figure in the image of [William's] daughter -- his daughter is of course now long dead -- has come back to talk to him. He realizes that he's been living this loop again and again and again.
"The primal loop that we've seen this season, they've been repeating, testing every time for what they call 'fidelity,' or perhaps a deviation," she continued. "You get the sense that the testing will continue. It's teasing for us another temporal realm that one day we're working toward, and one day will see a little bit more of, and how they get to that place, and what they're testing for."
