Official Westworld Theories & Speculation Megathread for S01E05 "Contrapasso"

By "flashback" you mean a revery from a recent, current event, and "past" is William's time, right? This is good, but I think it switches back and forth more often. Some of the shots of just Rebus and Dolores can be either current or past -- or both. :-o

52:08 [c] Rebus and Milk Gang with white hat newbie and friend 52:09 [c] "Got any use for this one?" I think these shots are actually Past. Walter is in this shot. In the current timeline he's in cold storage with Abernathy. So the bearded "No thanks" guy (and possibly the woman on the porch) is a guest here. White Hat here is another Host with Rebus. He's the host that shoots at Dolores. At 52:19 There's a quick shot of the Timid Blond guest that was afraid of Teddy earlier (around 24:00), so this is current. 52:20 [c] Rebus: "... no-one to interrupt this time" This shot of Rebus and Dolores here can be either 52:23 Walter and Bearded Guest again, so past. 52:24 [c] Dolores: "Interrupt... this... time" Yeah, good catch. That line sounds like a revery/flashback. 52:40 [c] Rebus throws her to the hay, closes door, sound of gun un-holstering. 52:46 [c] Dolores raises arm from hay, showing gun in it 52:48 [c] Rebus looks down at his holster, missing gun I think these three are in the past. This is where She originally got the gun. In the current she uses the gun she dug up (same gun?) 52:55 [c] Rebus: "Well well, got some sand after all, I see. Looks like your boyfriend taught you a thing or two. Having trouble?" 53:21 [f] MIB standing there with audio cue "Why don't we reacquaint ourselves, Dolores? Start from the beginning" 53:32 [c][v] "Kill him" 53:35 [c] Dolores fires twice angrily One of the shots of the gun could be present! 53:36 [c] Rebus shot in the neck Could be either. 53:43 [c] Dolores shocked at what she has done 53:48 [c] Dolores runs out of the barn 53:56 [c] Dolores runs to the house, sees her mom shot 53:57 [c] Dolores visibly shaken at the shot, horrified look 53:58 [c] "Hey, get back here!" NPC on the porch corner pulls gun, fires This is the White Hat Host from the Wide Shot with Walter and Bearded Guest. 54:04 [c] Dolores reacts, looks down, abdomen bleeding 54:10 [p] "Hey, get back here!" NPC on the porch corner 54:14 [p] Tighter shot of Dolores 54:15 [p] Dolores looks down, no blood 54:20 [p] Dolores runs 54:21 [p] NPC draws gun 54:22 [p] Dolores jumps on her horse 54:26 [p] NPC fires 54:27 [p] Dolores rides away, dodging bullets [cut to] head bashing incident ... [fade in] 56:30 [p] William and Logan at campfire 56:48 [p] Dolores walks into camp leading her horse and collapses.

Next episode starts with Bernard sending Current Dolores on her Maze Quest. The campsite scene also cuts between Past, Current, and Flashback/Revery. With William and warm campfire light in past; Darker shots of D alone with high, cool light from a full moon in the current; and Flashbacks of being repaired.
