Topless podcast - in honor of summer time
Is anybody on this show worth rooting for any longer? Bernard no, Delores not really, Charlotte Hale no, Dr. Ford (wildcard), Man in black - prob not - but i can see HBO wanting us to turn in favor of him. All i see is Maeve, and they may have ruined her character or at least her storyline.
What do you want to see happen in the next 2 episodes to get you back in?
Do you even wanted them to succeed? Or would you be secretly bummed if they did?
Westworld should be a Netflix show - it’s too dense to keep track — and the "binge ability” of netflix would help viewers retain important details.
Episode 8 June 9, 2018
Man in Black - shot to pieces, crawling towards a street. For an old man — he’s resilient
Ghost Nation guy finds Man in Black — he tells man in black “i remember you” — prob not gonna be good for him
Ghost Nation also has Maeve’s Daughter - daughter having flash backs when Maeve was her mom
British writer guy is trying to save Maeve
Ghost Nation dude gives us his origin story - another back story that was nice and went to hell in West World
Ghost Nation guy found the “westworld” map/ center of the maze design — and then they gave the ghost nation guy a “new life” - and made him a warrior.
Ghost nation dude finds William’s brother in law dude - Logan — can’t believe we’re circling back to pick him up
Ghost Nation guy found the passage to the real world aka Delos “base”
Tries to leave with his “former wife” from a former “life” - kidnaps her - Washes off his war paint - to win her back - yada yada yada
Ghost Nation dude’s name is Ake — and he tells her that he thinks he found the way out of westworld
Delos stole his lady friend before they could escape - and they replaced her with someone new — so he lost his lady. We get it HBO it’s a cruel world for these robots
Maeve’s Daughter helped Ghost Nation dude “on his darkest day” — ok so that’s a “loop closer” - which i guess is nice.
Heart Shaped Box on the piano — they love Nirvana on the Piano on this show
Ake lived for 9 years without dying in his narrative - interesting — he also finds all the decommissioned hosts — lost of “weener shots” but he finds his lady Kohana - but she’s decommissioned.
British writer guy “finds Remorse” for Maeve’s plight. What is the purpose of this show ??? But then - Maeve is “awake and playing possum”
Ake is spreading the “gospel of the Woke” — the symbol of the man inside the maze — and he and Dr. Ford get to have a “face to face”
Anthony Hopkins says - Keep watching, for a while longer — is that a plea to us as viewers ????
Who is the “Deathbringer”? Delores / Wyatt ??
Man in Black’s Daughter shows up to barter for her dad. Love how she’s fluent in their robot/ native langue // She’s going full heel turn on the man in black (or so it seems)
Back to Maeve - in the lab — on the operating table - Charlotte Hale shows up — and it looks like she programed Ake to watch over her daughter - cliffhanger ending - does Maeve die or live??? Tune in for Episode “niner” methinks
Episode 7 June 2, 2018
The episode in which Doctor Ford comes back inside of Bernard - he essentially tells bernard “he’s not up to survival” - kinda like delores telling that to Teddy.
I’m pissed about how they built Maeve up to bring her down so unceremoniously
Opening Handsome Security guy and Bernard - can picked up by bald “park emergency damage control guy”
Charlotte Hale and the aforementioned crew discover that Bernard has a zillion “droid versions of himself”
Charlotte Hale essentially water boards Bernard - tries getting info from him
Tactically “badass team” gets absolutely WORKED by Delores’ crew
Dr. Ford makes a reappearance - And explains to Bernard that the guests are the experiments and the hosts are the controls
Ford calls the human mind the last analog device in a digital world
The hosts essentially are there so that humans can become “immortal”
Dr. Ford promised “bernard a fighting chance and he wants to make good on it”. The Valley Beyond is where they’re all going, why? “isn’t the pleasure of a story discovering the end yourself, Bernard?”
Man in Black / show down with Maeve and her daughter - she does an unbelievable job at showing the man in black a world of pain — but he lives and she essentially is left for dead again — this is when it turned for me — but episode 8 gave me a little promise
As good as Maeve is with her host control — she sucks against humans.
System “debugged itself” which is essentially Bernard absorbing Ford’s consciousness
The Delores / Charlotte Hale Face to Face is pretty good
Can’t believe Charlotte and Handsome Security guy (ashley) escape - Especially since all other humans got wrecked
Delores lets Maeve Live — I think that’s important
bernard’s inner conflict with dr. ford is annoying — and bernard is gonna lead charlotte hale and delos to the Valley Beyond
Episode 6 May 27, 2018
Delores and Bernard flash back to him being frightened about what she might become/ says is she outgrows “this place, what will become of you?”
But Delores is now in charge of Bernard - and she’s “testing him” instead of the other way around — and she uses the line that young william used on his father in law in episode for. This is a test, what are you testing for, fidelity?
We’re back at the saloon and Delores is playing the piano and “new Teddy walks in” - he’s all business.. She seems more confused than pleased with his transformation.
Handsome security guy back in the now destroyed base and Charlotte Hale just showed up. Only “a week” has elapsed since the Ford shooting in season one. Charlotte Hale has Abernathy. She also has a “tool to call for help” to Delos.
The security guys Nail abernathy with nail gun to the operating chair
Next Shogun world - Maeve’s group has murdered all of the shogun’s people - Akane kills herself to mourn her daughters death ???? No…. she might’ve cut out her dead daughter’s heart “WTF?”
Maeve goes to rescue her friends — but we get a samurai fight instead - fun to get a sword fight - but I don’t care about the characters, so I don’t care about the sword fight
Good samurai beats bad samurai for those keeping score at home.
Man in Black, his daughter and Laurence are all on horse back — Man in Black thinks that his daughter is a droid - she shoots some ghost nation dudes.
Bernard and Elsie touring the “base/ control center” - heavy exposition in this episode thus far.
“QA” is fighting “the cradle” in terms of hacking the systems - essentially that’s why the humans can’t get things under control.
Maeve’s crew is walking towards a mount Fuji type replica. Writer dude and the two tech assistant humans are looking for a portal out of their situation. There’s a Coy Pond and Akane drops her daughter’s heart off in sometime of shine there. The shoguns aren’t going with Maeve — SOOOOO again, why the departure to Shogun World.
William’s daughter and he at the Campfire. She has potential beef with Charlotte Hale. She definitely is a bit of moral adversary to Man in Black’s thirst for the robot’s fighting back. But, she also said that she shouldn’t have blamed the mom’s death on him. She’s looking to “take him home” and keep him from committing suicide by robot. Man in Black seems to be agreeable to leaving WestWorld for “the beach” to get out. That seems very far fetched. And it is — Man in Black leaves his daughter while she sleeps.
Elsie and Bernard are at the “Cradle” aka a hive mine / server room of all the Droids and Ford or Bernard put data there. Bernard is having a flash back. The “Ball” Bernard “lifted” from sector 23 is something he’s remembering. And Elsie and Bernard just hooked his brain up to the mainframe. Bernard is now on the “west world entry train” We’re literally back at the first episode first scene
Handsome Security guy runs into new commando unit guy named Coughlin.
Maeve and the crew escape from Shogun world through a portal back to a cemetery in west world - it’s her old stomping grounds prior to the saloon arch. Maeve is going to find her daughter “alone” without her crew… again much ado about nothing // Maeve finds her old house on the prairie
She’s talking to her daughter (is this girl really here)? Oh man she is — and she’s got a replacement mom. And the Ghost Nation is about to attack them — WHY CAN’T MAEVE CONTROL GHOST NATION - CAN’T SHE CONTROL ALL OF THEM??? That’s a flaw in the story it seems
British writer guy sis calling for “help” from QA.
Delores and Teddy are on the train heading somewhere
Man in black under attack from the Ghost Nation guys
Special Ops team gets the map back up,,, in time for delores’s train caper - which she crashes into the base
And Bernard is back in the first scene of the series following Delores — and Dr. Ford is playing the piano at the end of the episode ??? Weird - long way to go - not sure we needed shogun world
