The people behind Westworld seem to never be happier than when they are thoroughly confusing the audience. This seems to be made abundantly clear when very early on in this week's episode of the show, a character asks Bernard, «do you understand where this is going?» He responds that he does, and then the two characters talk in puzzles and riddles like they are omnipotent gods who have already figured out what the audience has no hope of figuring out just yet.
