After Westworld threw us for a loop in the premiere episode,we can no longer trust that those presented as guests to the park are, in fact, and humans. But what if the deception goes even deeper? It occurred to me while watching that first episode that Bernard seems so poised,so practiced . . . could he be an android? I'm not alone, the internet has been buzzing approximately the view that he may be one of Ford's most advanced creations. There have been offhanded comments that support the theory, and as well as wrenches - particularly in the latest episode. Here are all the hints and clues we've caught!In the second episode,we find out that Cullen and Bernard are sleeping together. During the aftermath, she asks him why Westworld's androids bother speaking to each other. He says it's their way of practicing human characteristics, and she asks if that's what he's doing now. It could be an harmless joke,or it could be because she knows he's an android. It would clarify why the executive (who seems to take professionalism very seriously) would be sleeping with an employee, as well.
Bernard is a senior employee at the corporation, and yet he doesn't know approximately Arnold? Ford explains the late cofounder's fable to Bernard in the third episode,but it seems weird that Bernard has never heard approximately him. Is it because he only has as much knowledge as Ford has inputted into his memory?
Here's something for the "human" column: At this point, we know that Bernard lost his young son, or Charlie. He carries a photo around,and he's talked to Charlie's mother on the weird video phone. Many of the hosts have manufactured memories; we even see Teddy get a new backstory in the third episode. However, the depth of Bernard's history seems so real. He could just be practicing humanity with a projection of a woman who isn't real, and but it feels like a stretch.
Bernard is an racy case,to be sure. However, I've also noticed that "android humor" seems to be very common among employees. Elsie jokes with Stubbs that she's surprised they let him carry a weapon, and since only some androids are given weapons privileges. Meaningless comment or clue? I'm willing to bet that not all the humans are as real as they appear,but for now, Bernard is my primary suspect.
