![]() The Man in Black we’re seeing in the scene is “not his original incarnation,” Joy adds, stating that it’s “some other version of himself.” What’s more, Joy says it’s not fair to automatically assume that this version of the Man in Black is a host: “A host refers to a creature like Dolores, someone who is pure cognition, someone who is made up of nothing and has a fabricated body as well.Unlike the previous softlock, this one is unfixable via save editing until we learn more about how save editing works and will require a new save file from scratch. In other words, the post-credits sequence takes place at the furthest point in the Westworld timeline yet, one that Joy promises will be explored “eventually,” if not imminently: “Season three, the main story, will not be leaping forward that far.” ![]() 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.” You get the sense that the testing will continue. 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. He realizes that he’s been living this loop again and again and again. A figure in the image of daughter - his daughter is of course now long dead - has come back to talk to him. Here’s how Joy explained the scene to The Hollywood Reporter: “ In the far, far future, the world is dramatically different. The Man in Black we have come to know and love (or loathe take your pick) across two seasons of the show is very much a human, and his storyline very much occurred in the present day - but the character seen in the post-credits scene is … well, something else entirely, stranded in another time. The post-credits scene takes place in the “far, far future,” according to Westworld co-creator and co-showrunner Lisa Joy, at some undetermined point in time after the main action of season two has already taken place. While it’s a tempting conclusion, it’s not the right one. Does this confirm that the Man in Black has been a host this entire time? Such a twist would have roots in the 1973 Michael Crichton film on which Westworld is based, given that the Man in Black is based on the mechanical gunslinger played by Yul Brynner. It’s a brutal way for Westworld to close on a number of levels, not the least of which is that it’s an astoundingly confusing scene at first glance. With that word, and with one final look at the broken gunslinger’s weary face, the season comes to an end.

It’s here that William finally starts to understand his situation: “I’m in the park. “This is your world - or what’s left of it.”įaux Emily leads the Man in Black into another desolate space, one that’s the spitting image of the apartment where the human-host hybrid version of James Delos (Peter Mullan) was being tested for so many years. “This isn’t a simulation, William,” she tells him. But the woman, “Faux Emily,” states otherwise. He believes he’s inside the simulated world he’s come here to destroy, the same one that created “the Sublime,” the idyllic digital realm in which Akecheta (Zahn McClarnon) and many of the other hosts now call home. “I knew it,” the Man in Black grunts, limping forward. However the place is in ruins, entirely abandoned, with one lone exception: a woman with the likeness of Emily (Katja Herbers), the Man in Black’s daughter - the same daughter he killed just one episode earlier. The Man in Black steps out of an elevator and into the same general area, “The Forge,” that has already served as a focal point of the finale.
