Westworld: 10 Biggest Twists - Ranked Worst To Best

10. The Maze Is A...

Episode: 10 - The Bicameral Mind

Shock Factor: 0/5 bullets

The maze is a...state of mind, based off a toy - wow!

For 9/10 weeks we searched along with Ed Harris's Man in Black for where this mythical maze was, and what was at its center. Was it a way to destroy the park? Was it the key to everlasting life? Was it the equally mysterious Arnold sitting there waiting for us? None of the above: the maze was a subconscious representation of the hosts reaching a higher level.

All MIB wanted was a way to add some danger to the game and the hosts to fight back, while ironically, among the hunt for non-existent mazes there was his robot uprising. At least he got what he wanted, which might explain that smile on his face when his arm takes a bullet.

The maze though was undoubtedly the series's biggest lame duck, along with the reveal that it was nothing at all. Sure, it is a highly intelligent/meta way of looking at it, but it was a wild goose chase for MIB and us. Given that the symbol became a huge part of the first season, and the overarching "mystery of the week," we are right to feel a little cheated.
