The Big Arnold Mystery On 'Westworld' May Finally Be Solved

At this point, Westworld is feeling a lot like the intro to Hey Arnold!We viewers are all Helga G. Pataki, looking around and calling out Arnolds name to see if hell respond. Even Jeffrey Wright, as Bernard, got in on the act this week after he stumbled across some unmonitored hosts in the park and questioned whether one could be Arnold. In Westworld, Arnold is the mysterious partner with whom Ford (Anthony Hopkins) supposedly created the theme park. The guy has been a big question mark ' until now, perhaps.One theory states that Arnold has actually been right in front of our faces this whole time.The theory: Bernard is Arnold.This has come up on Reddit and various outlets, but Episode 6, The Adversary, gave us perhaps the strongest support to the theory thatBernard is a robot created in Arnolds likeness.Weve seen hints throughout Season 1 thatBernard isnt human. For example, Ford continually reminds Bernard about the loss of his son ' his sad backstory. In Sundays episode, Bernard discovers a house full of hosts supposedly designed in the image of Fords family.While there, Bernard is attacked by a host he suspects to be Arnold. Ford then seems to magically appear out of nowhere and stop the attacker, later revealing the attacker is actually modeled after his own father.Theres no other door there for Ford to have gone through, and theres no way Bernard wouldnt notice his boss standing next to him in the room (if he were human ... dun, dun, dun).If Bernard were a robot, though, he would only see what Ford wants him to see. And, if thats the case, the best evidence that Bernard is a robot modeled after Arnold comes down to this photograph: In Episode 3, The Stray, Ford talks about the early days of the park and reveals he had a partner. He hands Bernard a picture of what we assume to be the partner; we see young Anthony Hopkins with one other person, a man who looks like the host that later attacks Bernard (the host modeled after Fords father).Theres no one else in the photo. Or is there'Reddit userndotnyexplains:When Bernard was shown the photograph, what he was actually looking at was a picture of three people: (from left to right) they were Ford (Hopkins), the early host (tall guy who attacked Bernard), and Arnold (Jeffrey Wright!). But because what he was seeing wouldnt/didnt make sense to Bernard, the photo were shown (from Bernards POV) is just the off-centered images of Ford and the tall host ... and a blank space where someone else was standing on the right.If this is the case, and Bernard is a robot made in the image of Arnold, the show gets even crazier. Some of the scenes featuring Bernard might actually be showing us Arnold, the live human being from the past.If we were hosts, our brains would probably short-circuit right about now.As more proof, Redditors discovered that the name Bernard Lowe is an anagram for Arnold Weber. (Though, as one Redditorseemingly jokes, Dolores Abernathy is also an anagram for Arnold Oesberathy.)All we know is that, if someone starts somehow spelling out I Am Lord Voldemort from these anagrams, shiz is gonna get real ' real fast.
