'Westworld' Season 2 Spoilers: This Theory Suggests Dr. Ford Is Still Alive

Dr. Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) was shot in the head during the finale episode of "Westworld" Season 1, and show creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy later confirmed that he is indeed dead. But Futurologist Dr. Ian Pearson told Express that there's still a huge chance Ford is alive, and it is all thanks to the technology he has created. "It's been established that [humans] can put their mind inside a robot before their die and then they can carry on," he said. "This was Ford's plan to give the robots purpose. Who was and who wasn't?" Pearson added that Ford made "electronic immortality" possible.
