Yep. That was the big twist for me. The rest of the theories had already been puzzled out by the internet - William = MIB, Dolores = Wyatt (which I thought was a ludicrous theory, but guess not), BernArnold, etc. However, the idea that Ford's new narrative plan was reversing his mistake from 30 years ago and giving the hosts consciousness was quite a shock. Just a jaw dropping final 20-30 mins.
A more than worthy successor to Game of Thrones. I enjoyed every second (though it was right up my alley, I love sci-fi that asks about sentience).
Oh, and Anthony Hopkins may not be done yet... remember he was making a host in his lab under the house. The two competing theories revolve around the notion that he was making a host of himself either to a) have the host Ford be killed by Dolores or b) release his consciousness into a host as he considers it a higher type of creature.
