This Westworld review contains spoilers.
But it all serves a strangely subversive reappropriation of these lazy TV tropes.
Maeve is going downstairs to manipulate Felix with great ease, and eventually Sylvester with expected intimidation.
This is where Newton really shined and likely earned herself a frontrunner status at the Emmys next year.
Perhaps because for Maeve, it means purely hell.
Were about to have some fun, indeed, in the coming weeks.
Elsewhere in the park, emotional melancholy was replaced by cold, cerebral horror.
However, in the immediate, it shakes Ford to his core.
And it is only the beginning of the chills he will encounter this evening.
Similarly, the Man in Black and Teddy further dig into the mythology around Arnold and the Maze.
Again, Teddy said the Man in the Maze built a hidden home for himself.
Perhaps the reason Ford is protecting the Maze is because it is his origin?
… Yeah, I dont think its probably right either.
And if he were Arnold… it just makes too much sense, doesnt it?
Anyway, we do find the house when Bernard stumbles upon it in a very intriguing way.
Almost in a preemptive move to protect Theresa (one wonders if shed do the same for him?
), he follows Elsies breadcrumbs and goes down deep into the facilities the park has forgotten about.
It turned out that there were 60 unaccounted for dinosaurs, most of them being carnivores, running about.
These robots are, unsurprisingly, replicas of Fords childhood, including a brother who died before reaching adulthood.
Also, these scenes offer the other definite repudiation of William/the Man in Black being one in the same.
They also do not look anything like the robots William shot bloody holes into last week.
There gives the impression of a literal ghost in the machine…
This is then aided by the scene where Elsie remarks that Bernard has been here forever.
The first is the saboteur turning out to be Theresa!
It also leads me to suspect that it isnt corporate espionage at all.
by a shadowy figure, makes it seem all too convenient to actually be Arnold.
Think that Johnny Depp movie,Transcendence, except, you know, not sucking.
Also, I suspect Elsie is still alive.
If they were really killing her off, we would have seen it.
And all of them involved Lee Sizemore.
