I just finished Westworld last night, and I also didn't know anything and didn't check this thread until after watching, and I'm glad I did! The reveals were all shocking to me and who I was watching with - guess we're not eagle eyed and can't catch all the little hints.
I think my experience with the show would have been dramatically different if I had watched as this aired and followed this thread. Some of you were really on top of things early on! I think for the next season, and for the next season of Game of Thrones, I'm just going to stay out of these threads altogether. I'll probably enjoy the shows more that way.
In a way, I suppose this reinforces Netflix's way of releasing shows, as you're not going to be able to analyze everything to death when it's all out in one go.
