If you're looking for a twisty glorious mess of a show, Westworld is for you! After last night's episode, it's certain that what we are watching in the show is stretched over two or maybe even three timelines!

Alright let's break this down, William and Logan entered the park in the past, we know this because you can clearly see that the Westworld logos are different when William and Logan entered the park and what we see in the new or “modern” timeline. In fact the only other time we see that old looking logo is, during Dr. Ford’s flashback on a lab coat.
Another piece of evidence is the fact that William and Logan don’t really interact with anything happening with the Man in Black and Dr. Ford. Going hand-in-hand with this theory is the notion that William, due to some trauma in the park, will turn into the Man in Black. Isn't it strange how we don’t know his character’s name yet?
Although there has been some back and forth among Westworld fans about this theory, Episode 5 seems to confirm the existence of at least two timelines when Lawrence was killed by the Man in Black only to show up as “El Lazo” in William’s timeline, how else can you explain that?
I think this conclusively proves that there are two timelines. I’m sure there are plenty of you who will argue that there could be multiple Lawrences running around the park which I think is highly unlikely or that the technicians completed his repairs in record time which I think is also just as unlikely.
El Lazo was already an established character in the William and Logan story. To have him played by Lawrence proves, that when the Man in Black told Lawrence they had met before, he was talking about exactly this, the time they knew each other as William and El Lazo.
And now for the third timeline! Fans all over the place, including Nerdist.com have come up with a theory that Bernard is not only an android, but an android with the consciousness of Ford’s old partner, Arnold. Ford said that Arnold was driven by personal tragedy, such as, maybe, a dead son just like Bernard? And while the androids keep talking to an “Arnold” as they malfunction, we, the audience, hear Bernard's voice in Dolores’s head as she goes off programming. But does Bernard just have the consciousness of Arnold, or is he an exact replica?
And there it is! I cant wait for the next episode so we can have confirmation on all this and see what else this show's got in store for us.
