Okay I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this :joker:

Oh my god. :joker:

Loved Shogun World :clap1: Felt like a bit of a filler episode it was bloody enjoyable. I loved all the parallels to Westworld characters and storylines and Akane is brilliant, really hope she sticks around. Bit disappointed that Sakura didn't make Maeve reminisce about Clementine though, I get that she's focused on her 'daughter' right now but it would have been a nice poignant moment since Sakura was clearly a parallel of Clem as well as her daughter.

Speaking of, the scene with the two Clementines was so haunting. Actually probably my favourite part of the episode even though it was brief.

The opening and closing scenes of episode 6 :worship: :worship:

The Dolores / Bernard fidelity test seems to be happening inside The Cradle since it shares the aspect ratio with the Cradle scenes. I've no idea of what might be going on with that yet :joker: I wish the trailer for the episode didn't give away the sudden turn halfway through the scene but it was still a really great scene (and further highlighted how great Evan is).

Ford :worship: That answers my question earlier in the season about whether his consciousness was still alive in cyberspace. I'm so excited to have Anthony Hopkins back properly, even if it's only briefly.

Dolores being unnerved by Teddy now being a violent sociopath when she made him that way. Girl.

I hope Angela gets more to do. She's by far one of the most intriguing characters for me but since the uprising she's just been a henchwoman for Dolores. Hopefully she's involved significantly in the endgame of the season. Speaking of, I read in an interview that the thing she's wearing round her head is a crown made of bones which nicely ties back to Teddy saying Wyatt's cult wear the bones of their enemies last season.

(I know I'm pretty much talking to myself at this point because this forum only really appreciates CRAP but I'm dead set on keeping the thread alive dammit)

Just watched Episode 7 and its getting intense and very interesting how it all is playing out. I'm finding this season much better compared to season 1.

I loved the episode but I'm disappointed if Angela and Peter Abernathy are gone for good (like with Logan, missed opportunities for characters who I thought had more story to tell). I was really excited about both being upgraded to series regulars and I don't think either has been utilised as much as they could have been, particularly for Hosts as interesting as those two (they did both serve really important functions with her destroying the Cradle and the code in his head but still, I'm annoyed if they're gone :laugh:)

I also had an issue with that security guy being stupid enough to let Angela seduce him, but they had established earlier in the episode that he was a reckless arrogant dick so there's that. And her speech before pulling the pin was everything.

I love that Ford is quite literally the ghost in the machine now. I never thought I'd see him wielding a machine gun and my life is now complete.

I really liked the scenes between characters who don't often share screen time too (Maeve, William, Lawrence / Dolores, Charlotte / Dolores, Maeve). Really felt like all the separate storylines are converging now going into the final stretch.

Appreciated the Theresa callbacks too (I still miss her). Nice touch to flashback to her death in episode 7, it was episode 7 of the first season when she died. And both episodes are named after art styles. Certain neither are coincidences.

I have to say though, Maeve and Lawrence both had plenty of opportunity to kill William just by shooting him in the head rather than body. I get that the plot demands he doesn't die yet but it's pretty glaring when people have a sure fire chance to kill someone and don't.

I really enjoyed the part with Maeve turning William's allies on him though. I guess it didn't work on Lawrence because he's finally gaining sentience.

Watching the latest ep now, YASSS @ Maeve shooting up William :clap1: The day he's actually killed off I'll celebrate

Oh @ her getting shot by Sizemore's goons

All I know is, when Maeve's out, I'm out!

I gave up after S2E3, I just couldn't keep up with whatever that is going there :worry:

When you watch, do you think in your mind that the actors are robots or do u see them as humans? It really does play on your mind, when I watch in my mind they are only machines and nothing more not humans at all its kinda trippy thinking about it.

Episode 8 was brilliantly written. I genuinely believed that the tribe were trying to save Maeve's daughter, but the twist made so much more sense and I never saw it coming. I enjoyed seeing the virus play out from a brand new and more heartbreaking perspective, and of course I can't argue with a Ben Barnes cameo.

Yes a Memory
was one episode
only at the end 10mins we see what is really going on.


Also because of Complex story lines

I caught up after a few weeks of being behind. Maeve facing down an army with a samurai sword is EVERYTHING (Shame they skimped out on the battle afterwards but oh well).

The Ghost Walkers :love: It was obvious that they were saving people when we saw them trying to take Sizemore from Maeve and when they tried to capture William's daughter but I didn't see that they were trying to protect Maeve's daughter all along at all. It was a lovely twist. The whole episode was just brilliant, some people might consider it filler and it kind of is but it's exceptionally well done filler.

That being said, if Maeve dies I'm out tbh.

I liked the episode but expected to like it more after seeing it had such rave reviews.

I loved that this episode finally expanded on the Ghost Nation and gave us an explanation for the Maze symbol appearing everywhere last season. And the new context of Maeve's flashbacks will make rewatches of that in season 1 much more rewarding.

I know they had a big story planned for Kissy (the Host William scalped in the very first episode) but scrapped it when Eddie Rouse died, I wonder if any of that has been repurposed for Akecheta's story.

I don't get why the Native American Hosts weren't involved in Dolores' original massacre though. Hope that's explained. I also thought Akecheta being able to go on a stroll of the facility without anyone noticing was pretty silly (but I loved them incorporating the Heart Shaped Box cover from the trailer into the scene and the parallels to the similar Maeve scene last season).

The Deathbringer is a cool af title for Dolores.

Just watched 5 episodes back to back, binging is the way to go, ugh love season 2 more than the first

i only watched the first few episodes of the second season, but then i got into other series at the moment, so i've given it a hiatus for now, but i will definitely resume watching westworld once i am done with my other shows Lost, Lost in Space and Supergirl

These last few episodes have really torn at me emotionally.

I'm not too keen on the Man in Black (to the point where I was cheering him on when he put a gun to his head) but I did quite like those flashback scenes. He really did need fleshing out as a character so I like that they introduced the family setting and how his "obsession" per se had affected them. His descent into paranoia leading to him killing Emily was actually quite intriguing, and probably the first time I have enjoyed one of his storylines.

Also, Teddy in that final scene:

Was always hoping the MIB might have a bit of a redemption arc but killing your own daughter kinda makes that difficult. Were they just highlighting his paranoia with the whole digging into his forearm thing or might he actually be a host :think:

I think William really should have died at the end of the last season, a lot of his scenes feel like filler that ultimately don't serve a point. The only relevance he's had this season are in the scenes when you found out what Delos was up to.

This episode wasn't bad but it did feel as though the show was spinning it's wheels to fill the time.

He must be quite important to Ford's new narrative and whatever the endgame of that is though seeing as Ford said this game was meant for him

But it's not interesting to watch. I think they could easily take William's story relevance and transplant it to someone like Charlotte and you wouldn't lose much. It would have been more poetic to have him die at Dolores' hands at the end of S1.

Unless they pull out a gamechanger in the next episode, I can't see him as anything other than filler.

Yeah I've been completely bored with older William all season (although his increasing paranoia about everyone being Ford is pretty hilarious). I was interested in seeing more of his back story but his younger self has only appeared fleetingly this time around.

That said, his paranoia reaching fever pitch and him shooting Emily in this episode was definitely a shocking, interesting turn of events. Though I'm not completely convinced she's dead until we get definite confirmation. Same for how permanent Teddy's death is.

The Ford and Maeve scene was lovely, quite striking seeing Ford actually on the verge of tears. Although her being his favourite will be an idea to get used to since this was only their second scene they've shared throughout the entire show :laugh: It definitely makes sense though as for why he gave her the "escape" narrative.

Very interested to see Clementine in action now they've tinkered with her code to incite nearby Hosts to violence. There's definite intentional symmetry going on with the two Hosts having powers over the others being her and Maeve since they were so closely linked last season.

The promo for the finale was pretty bloody epic, anybody else see it??
