8 Questions We Want Answered In The Westworld Season 1 Finale

Somehow HBO's Westworld has managed to live up to all the initial lofty hype - it was touted as being "the next Game of Thrones" - and delivered a tightly-plotted rollercoaster of a first season, filled with terrific acting, great writing and shocks galore.

7) How Do They Reset The Park Every Night?

This isn’t a plot-specific question but a general point that has been niggling at viewers over the weeks. Just how do the Westworld staff reset the park and its inhabitants every night?

Early episodes presented it as very much a Groundhog Day-type situation – where Dolores would wake up in bed each morning, reliving the same day. Yet as we’ve explored the depths of the park further, there doesn’t seem to be a clear shut-off point where the hosts are all reset and put back in place for the following day.

We also want to know just how the maintenance guys get the fixed hosts back in place without interrupting the rest of the park. And are some hosts on different sized loops from others? Sweetwater, for instance, seems to reset everyday while the outer edges of Westworld – where the Man in Black and William and Logan play – seem to be active continuously for days on end.

The mysteries that drive the narrative are the prime concern of the finale, of course, but it would be nice to get some hint towards the inner working of the park as well.
