My gut feeling on Ed Harris is that he is a long time customer who is willing to pay a lot of money to go on his own special story-line. That he only appears inhumane to us because we are anthropomorphizing the hosts. He doesn't do that because he sees them in the same way that we would look at an old Teddy Ruxpin, or a character in Grand Theft Auto. Dolores is just the hooker you shoot to get your money back after you kick her out of your car. Harris is jaded and he just doesn't give a shit.

Maybe this was already addressed and I missed it, but how do guests know they're interacting with a host/robot and not another guest? Also, are guests impervious to any kind of physical assault in the park, or just the parks firearms?

I'm really enjoying this show. Like GoT, it's one of those where I'm likely to re-watch the previous episode before watching the new one live.

It's a combination of Asimov's three laws of robotics and the lore of the West World franchise. Have you seen the original movie(s)?

I haven't. The guest on guest crime is my biggest question. With things so real at the park, I'm sure jealousy and other emotions are just as real if not more than in a person's real life.

Everything is very heavily monitored. I don't think you're going to get away with anything.

[BRC] Felt like a filler episode but it was still interesting. Some plotlines got moved along. I think sentience is spreading like a...virus. I still feel this way about Ed Harris:[BRC]

I'm pretty sure it's just guns, they mentioned something about how dangerous an axe could be.

There are three levels of 'protection' and the rest is suspension of disbelief.

The guns are engineered to treat visitors like paintball [feel and see impact, but no lasting damage], and treat hosts like video game casualties [strike positions start damage subroutines in the unit].

Some hosts are and others aren't programmed for handling of dangerous utilitarian items, such as axes, whips, and fire.

In addition to the 'do no harm' programming, the hosts are programmed to utilize human 'skills' to divert guests from danger. ie, if someone is pushing for a fist fight, or to shove a guest into danger [cliff, animal pen, fire, etc], the host will either try to diffuse the situation or offer him/herself up as the sacrificial victim.

So there are a group of guests in the park that have gone full on psycho, or is that just part of the draw for the thrill seekers? That group Teddy ran into at the end of the ep, he unloaded his gun into all of them, but nothing.....
