I'm excited. 


Yes, because that's clearly what I was talking about.
While speaking at the westworld panel at sxsw last month, westworld showrunners jonathan nolan and lisa joy teased that they had a "controversial" plan in order to deal with spoilers, and in a recent reddit ama, nolan and joy have proposed a massive reveal of the entire plot of the upcoming season.
Here's exactly what the westworld showunners said about the proposal on reddit:
Jonah and Lisa said:hey reddit!
Many thanks for your great questions and thoughts. As i've said before, i've been a member of the reddit community for years (no i'm not going to share my original username...). And i greatly enjoyed watching the friendly folks at this subreddit guess the twists and turns of the season.
It creates a larger problem for us, though, in terms of the way your guesswork is reported online. 'theories' can actually be spoilers, and the line between the two is confusing. It's something we've been thinking about since last season. The fans of game of thrones, for instance, rallied around and protected the secrets of the narrative in part because they already knew those secrets (through season 5).
We thought about this long and hard, and came to a difficult (and potentially highly controversial) decision. If you guys agree, we're going to post a video that lays out the plot (and twists and turns) of season 2. Everything. The whole sordid thing. Up front. That way the members of the community here who want the season spoiled for them can watch ahead, and then protect the rest of the community, and help to distinguish between what's 'theory' and what's spoiler.
It's a new age, and a new world in terms of the relationship between the folks making shows and the community watching them. And trust is a big part of that. We've made our cast part of this decision, and they're fully supportive. We're so excited to be in this with you guys together. So if this post reaches a 1000 upvotes we'll deliver the goods.
Hasta victoria siempre!

Nolan and Greg Plageman picked all the music on POI.And all it will accomplish is trolls going around deliberately spoiling it for everyone else who actually has patience to wait.Haha, man, this whole "spoil the whole season in advance" thing is so ridiculous & unfortunate.
I get why they do it, try to sate the spoiler types and implore them to keep the hell quiet for the rest of the fandom, but still. The fact something like that even needs to happen is pretty sad.
It already started. comingsoon.net has the ending spoiler in the titleAnd all it will accomplish is trolls going around deliberately spoiling it for everyone else who actually has patience to wait.
