Did West World Season 2 just jump the shark or is it Crazy like a Fox
West World Season 2 - Delores is not Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Places listening - UK second / Colombia third (Ashburn VA #2 this week Props to Frankfurt Germany, Lima Peru and Hengelo Netherlands
Curtis Fingers watched a Derek Lowe tribute on NESN? And got teary eyed?
Possible Silver linings —
Maeve realizing she has telepathy mind control in any language may have been a necessary evil
The man in Black’s daughter showing up / right after the decided that the live forever project is the wrong thing - could prove interesting
This is classic early in the series epic saga HBO move — you take the long way home, everybody starts to get a little impatient and then… BOMB SHELL
Delores is essentially building a mutant droid army - even Teddy wasn’t safe - i predict she makes Man in Black’s role miserable
I think once the explain delores’ dad’s deal with Charlotte Hale and the Delos Board — we finally should be able to go back down the funnel to a more succinct story line with more of a zero sum game plot line
Episode five May 20, 2018
Back to Maeve and the Samurai World peeps - Her power over them isn’t working like it did in west world. We learn the the Samurai world is for people who think west word is too tame.
“Paint it black” plays on a japanese instrumental arrangement — and the Japanese droids are just samurai versions of the the westworld gang. British writer guy mentions that he didn’t have enough time of character development and therefore they’re basically the same characters. Fun “meta wrinkle”
Maeve speaks Japanese — i like the wrinkle of bizarro west world - Maeve escapes
Back in West World Delores and Teddy stumble onto Sweetwater again and everybody is dead as usual
Delores and Teddy are out on the Range - thought Delores was gonna kill Teddy just then
Maeve is ready to kick it with the SHOGUN and his army - he cut off their ears so avoid Maev’s mind control — but she’s got mind control now — so it shouldn’t matter write.
Teddy and Delores finally have a bonetownScene
And then she double crossed Teddy - and they just did some crazy alterations to Teddy’s settings - likely to make him meaner
Wow WuTang 36 chambers on the Japanese flute / fiddle/ etc C.R.E.A.M. cash rules everything around me - And a Decapitation of the Shogun by Akane - BOOOM Roasted — since he killed Sakura
And Maeve gets all the dudes to kill each other with telepathy
Episode four May 13, 2018
Elsie Comes back — Bernard has had her chained up in like sector 22 or 23 — and he keeps having flashbacks to previous trips to this facility
Bernard is at the center of the whole darn thing — we keep thinking he’s a mope or loser or getting played — but i think it’s obvious he’s not in control of himself and who ever programmed him still has a chance of “winning” at this contest.
Elsie explains to him that his memories aren’t anchored sequentially - which explains more about why he’s so confused — and likely why we’re all so confused.
Jim the father in law is “what they were making” in Sector 23 — and when Elsie and Bernard find him — he’s in a really bad spot. Bernard effs him up. We get a poignant quote about the devil not being real but the reflection of god laughing back at him
Interesting when William sees Jim as an older man. Explains that he’s hit a “Cognitive Plateau” He’s been brought back 149 times. He’s lasted 35 days this time around. So, William is basically coming around to abandoning the idea of Delos and living forever. “People aren’t meant to live forever”. "The world is better off without you Jim, possibly without me”.
Bernard mentions that another “live forever printer” is created but we don’t know for who - my guess is man in black. Also Elsie trusting Bernard (BAD IDEA JEANS)
Also the scene where the droids kill all of the scientists and then themselves at Bernards command and then he curb stomps the last guy — crazy scene and Elsie is screwed methinks.
Does Elsie look a lot different than she did in season 1?
The Facility with the faceless droids - is trashed — we find out that bernard ordered it to be trashed.
The confederados capture the man in black and Laurence
The scene with Young William and his father in law in (Jim) the chamber — is Delos’ play making people immortal? The guy died but they somehow have maintained at least a portion of his consciousness. The actor playing Jim is really good at the part where he’s not programmed to keep going
Man in Black tells the confederado he knows how to find “Glory” — when he shoots the bartender’s hand off - I think i’m supposed to hate the guy… but I just don’t really care about him.
Confederado talks about “death being an old friend of his” — and Man in Black hits him with some hot truth — death is the only thing that’s true — and then he stabs him in the throat with a broken bottle and lights up the whole crew. and then he makes the guy drink the “nitro” and let’s Laurence blow him to bits.
Laurence’s daughter tries to call William out (as Ford) one good deed doesn’t undue everything else.- William says he’s going to play the game to the bone, and she says then you still don’t understand the game we’re playing, if you’re looking forward, you’re looking in the wrong direction.
Also man in black’s real life wife killed herself
Handsome security guy and the lady who almost go eaten by a tiger are with the Native American tribe — and the lady just ran off into the woods. The lady who ran off in the woods is Willam’s real life daughter. WOWZERS, now we’re talking
