As far as fan theories are concerned, there is arguably no show that gets fans’ tongues wagging more than “Westworld.”

Fans enthusiastically guessed plot twists and big secrets in the show’s first season, and they have gotten so good that show creators Jonathan Nolan and his wife Lisa Joy revealed during Paleyfest that they were forced to change the script for Season 2, episode 3, according to NME.

“Reddit has already figured out the third episode twist,” he said. “So, we’re changing that right now. It’s annoying sometimes when people guess the twists and then blog about it, but the engagement is gratifying, on one level, because if someone guesses your twist, it means you’ve done an adequate job [of structuring the series].”

However, Nolan is pleading with fans to stop because it’s difficult changing something that they have already elaborately planned. “You can’t complain when people are that engaged,” he added. “It’s very gratifying — but stop doing it, please.”

Meanwhile, Nolan cannot help but applaud fans for correctly guessing the truth about Maeve Millay (Thandie Newton). In the finale episode of Season 1, she changed her mind at the last minute and decided to go back to the park and find her long-lost daughter.

Reddit users deduced that it was her first act of free will, according to Entertainment Weekly. Nolan said they were correct. “I’ve been waiting for the message boards on Reddit to tell us,” Nolan said. “The way that we designed it and the way we shot it… that is really the first decision she’s ever made. For me, it’s a very emotional moment in the episode because you’re seeing the first freewill.”

For the next season, Ed Harris has confirmed that he will return as the Man in Black. But his younger counterpart, Jimmi Simpson, is still unsure whether he’ll be back as young William.

“Westworld” Season 2 will return to HBO in 2018.
