10 Awesome Moments From The Westworld Season 1 Finale

The first season of HBO's sci-fi western smash hit Westworld has now come to an end with the feature-length finale, titled 'The Bicameral Mind'. As was promised by showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, it answered pretty much all of the questions that have been plaguing us over the past ten weeks - from the identity of the Man in Black to the truth about the Maze - as well as opening up some new ones that will bug us until it returns to our screens in 2018. The result was probably the show's most exciting episode so far, and one that leaves us the future of the show wide open.

2) Maeve Makes A Choice

Thanks to Hector, Armistice and Felix, Maeve makes her way out of Westworld and onto the train that will take her to a brave new world. But when mere moments away from freedom, her old motherly instincts kick in and she decides she can’t leave the host child who was once her daughter in the park. As Ford’s voiceover explains that he wants his creations to make their own choices now, Maeve elects to go make the bravest choice possible – to go back into Westworld, possibly never to get out again.

It’s a powerful moment, and makes for an interesting contrast with Dolores’ own choice. While the once sweet farm girl chooses freedom through violence, the ostensibly more trigger-happy Maeve chooses the more human route of acting on love.

We just really hope it’s a decision she doesn’t come to regret next season.
