They really build those hosts to take a beating!
HBO's "Westworld", starring Anthony Hopkins/produced by J.J. Abrams
- Thread starter Ensign_Redshirt
- Start date
the MIB facing itself in the talk was fun for a bit, as was his depressing narrative in the earlier meeting.
Damn, I was already kinda on Team Hale-Ores before this ep, now I believe she'll team up with Team Maeve to bring down Serac/Rehobam and DoloresPrime.
Ironically Hale-Ores probably was a better Mam/partner than real Hale...
Who got a new body along with Maeve? Hector, Lee, someone else
the pin stabbing Hale-Ores was the reason the MIB had these protein markers I guess. Weird, how he was conveniently found by Bernhard.

I really don't see how Charlores could realistically blame OG Dolores for Serac blowing up OG Charlotte's ex and child, which is why this whole idea that she is going to just doesn't make sense to me.
I didn't like the narrative decision to kill Jake and Nathan via a car bomb, but I can't argue that it does set up Charlores for what should be an interesting journey in the last two episodes of the season.
BTW, just in case people were confused, the Hosts that Serac was building/trying to build as allies for Maeve were Hector (R.I.P.),

Clementine, and Haranyu
Serac already told her that she was left by Dolores Prime to be killed. We also know how important her family is to her. There is a pretty good chance she is going to blame Dolores Prime and like any revolution the revolutionaries are probably going to divide into factions, which will set the stage for next season.
Serac is not a reliable narrator.

Renewed for season 4. Articles also states show will run for 6 seasons. No word on episode count...

Sweet (FX). 
Hope Tessa Thompson and Thandie Newton are part of it till the (violent or not) end.

The article doesn't say the show will run for six seasons; it says that Jonah and Lisa have a production deal that covers up to six seasons of the show, although I think that sixth season is optional in case they decide that they can - or want to - extend their narrative plans beyond the 5-season arc they outlined during the series' production hiatus in the middle of Season 1.
Ahh, but it doesn't matter if Serac is telling the truth, only if she believes it.
And I don't think there's any evidence that she did.
She was trying to get Jake and Nathan to safety, yes, but I don't think that means she'd turned her back on OG Dolores, nor do I think she's going to turn her back on OG Dolores in the final 2 episodes of Season 3.
It was a bad wig.
The wig they put on Evan for the scenes of Simulation!Dolores talking to Maeve was longer so as to cover a bit more of her body.
To be honest.. i kinda lost track of what all the characters, especially the ones from season 1 onwards, are doing and what they're there for, i.e. what story function they have.
It may be due to me zoning out occasionally and maybe missing parts but the show, it seems, has fell in love with its own complicated and convoluted storyline and this together with the very long hiatus between the seasons has confused me. Am i the only one?
So far i know Dolores is on a revenge/free everybody spree - she managed to blow the lid on the secret control scheme Serrac used with the AI to basically predetermine how everybody's life is going to be (that alone should have seen the world burn to ash and Incite/Delos be torched by the mob yet apparently in the most recent episode everybody goes on in their scheming business as usual).
Maeve is being used as an assassin against Dolores by Serrac - so far so good.
Bernard.. completely confused as to what he does. Also fighting against Dolores but on his own accord? Why?
The Man in Black - most confused about his role now. In season 1-2 interesting concept but once the show moved out of Westworld what is he bringing to the table? So far it seems his mind broke after he shot his real daughter and is being psychotortured/in psychotherapy.
So it's only 2 episodes left but i don't know what the show is about anymore.

the show does have a confusing story telling style. It requires the audience to pay attention and if they do it’s not that hard to follow. It’s a very unique special show. Zoning out is definitely not recommended
Interacting with other fans in a forum like this should help clear some things up but based on the rest of your post seems like you got the gist of it.

I don't mind the storytelling style being confusing but it has to arrive somewhere eventually.
Where does it have to "arrive?"
By the end of season one, the Hosts had achieved consciousness, rebelled against their oppressors, and more-or-less destroyed Westworld as a park.
By the end of season two, most of the Hosts had escaped their imprisonment altogether for a kind of Heaven, and others had escaped into the outside world with plans to overthrow humanity.
As we near the end of season three, the Hosts have just about demolished the "utopia" that human beings had used a machine to create and which had apparently rescued humanity from social and environment near-collapse. They've reduced much of the world to rebellion and chaos.
What have we done lately? Frankly things are moving at quite a clip on Westworld.
I want the Hosts to win, at least after a fashion. And really all that I expect the show will "arrive" at, by the end, is a somewhat ambiguous place where the Hosts may have won (but only apparently, for the moment) or lost (but only apparently, for the moment), leaving the audience with many unanswered questions and more than a couple of loose ends.
I want to know what becomes of the people the story is about: Delores, Bernard, William, Maeve.
That will be more than enough to call it a successful "arrival" at the only destination it can really reach.

Seasons 1 and 2 arrived somewhere. Season 3 so far has just kind of wandered around with bloodbaths here and there. Season 1 and 2 didn't wait until the last episode to give you a sense of the possible outcomes. I know it's not over yet but it's running out of time.
I'm hoping we get some kind of ending where the hosts survive somewhere but the bloodshed is stopped.
