You forgot that there was another Dolores copy in season 3, Lawrence who appeared in the finale, so we've seen all of the pearls snuck out of the park in their respective hosts. I think the reason we see Teddy in New York is because this takes place after Bernard has exited the sublime and he brought some of the hosts from there back into the real world.
Great insights 😀
The main theme is clearly robots controlling humans. The graffiti is symbolic of that, but both William and Christina force a guy's behaviour, and both eventually kill themselves. I wonder if all players in the NYC park are hacked 🪰(and if they know about it)
Keep te up with these breakdowns
above bansky, notice humans in all sorts of wire... fallen angel story..
I feel maybe Christina is in the past when the park was just starting to be thought about. Hence the black shoes/white shoe choice Christina makes might maker her think on that. She could meet the real Arnold, the human that created her and that could fit Jeffery Wright as an aging actor since we know Christina is human. There are robots in her world so I feel her world must be set at a time these robot helpers are still around. Plus she makes games that might be the seed of the bigger games in the park. We don’t really see hosts in her world, yet it seems like a park…maybe those guys paid for a photo experience pre Westworld? I would love to see Christina and whoever Teddy is now to meet Arnold and be the inspiration for the park. I guess I rewatched the pilot and the Man in Black says “I will never understand why they match some of you up”. Maybe this season we will see the humans that inspired Teddy and Delores. It could be their choice, The Choice, to start the embryo beginnings of the park. Maybe as a virtual game before Delos bought them out. There had to be an evolution slowly to the tech that is in the show now. It didn’t suddenly happen. Perhaps the past, like 40 years ago in the show around 2010 or 2020 was a more ideal place. And really I would feel a creator like
Arnold would model Dolores, The
Original, after someone he knew versus just being creative. She seemed symbolic. Maybe the show will explain why. I would love to see the human Arnold.
Proto experience not photo experience. Maybe a virtual park inside Olympiad.
The least realistic thing in this show is the Hover Dam still having water in 2066
Hitting us with the big, horrible facts.
Lol...funny that I've just come here from Sunday's Last Week Tonight episode on water.
And the real reduced water levels behind the dam...
When William forces The Cartel member to sell, that guy implied he could throw William into the Lake Mead. 🙃 The reality was " the shrinking water level revealed at least two human skeletons." (May2022 news)
You haven't played Fallout have you lol
I'm absolutely delighted that Westworld is back, I love the plot twists as well as the stories unfolding as each episode goes by. It's definitely always a cliffhanger that keeps us all on the edge of our seats. The first episode of season 4 already had me anticipating the next episode already. Good to have this incredible show back on sky. 🤗
Wow I can’t even watch this show without your recaps- I didn’t even realize NYC was a possible park until you pointed it out & now it makes so much sense
I've found that since season one, the YT commentators are a great companion to the actual show. It's also usually a really fun discussion group in the comments. I think credit due to the show runners that literally every thing you see in the show is visual metaphor. This further pushes the discussions and adds to the mystery.
@@myblueextremes1526 totally agree! After I watch I always come right here
Nice recap and info.
Yep it’s great to have Westworld show back to keep us all guessing what’s going on.
I think much is hinting that the hosts have flipped the role on humans, at least in the new parks…but then again maybe the new parks = the whole world?
Theory: Christina is writing Caleb’s story, maybe Maeve’s too. She was writing a romance with some humor. Caleb has a wife and daughter and it’s very dramatic. Then her boss says add some action. Maeve has an action sequence at the cabin then shows up to take Caleb on an adventure. So I’m thinking Christina is part of a machine that controls humans of whom some created westworld believing that they control machines a la the graffiti. Although that graffiti could just be referencing how rehoboem was controlling humans. But maybe it’s just more layers. Christina is part of a system of control and has no idea. IDK I think the point of this show is just to confuse us as much as possible. You know what, there are no humans. Hosts wiped us out and are trying to recreate humanity inside of a simulation. That’s definitely it.
holy shet. They never won the war
So basically they're in the matrix?
But. Maeve in her cabin and Maeve with Caleb are on a different timelines. No way she made it, on foot, down to LA and beat Williams people there. Plus stopped for a Katana along the way. Just no way. Doesn't make sense.
Welp I guess it’s time to say goodbye for my hopes of Dolores x caleb🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Back at the end of Season 2, that is what I supposed. Humans have been extinct, and our transcendants are trying to reverse engineer consciousness. As they exist, but do not truly experience. "Cold Consciousness" as it is sometimes called. They MUST have these specific events and humans do what they do to understand the true nature of how humans experience. That is the ultimate game! Hosts upon different kinds of hosts? Maybe?
Something tells me part of the episode didnt happen eight years later..but a hundred years later, namely everything with Christina/Dolores.
5:43 the tower is inspired by the Montjuïc Communications Tower in Barcelona
Dude! I'm not sure about anyone else but I had to replay your Arnold Schwarzenegger opening clip over and over at least 10 times as I cracked up in tears. I guess it's because I connected with it in so many ways!! Great Video as always, Love you (I mean that in the most Bro way) LOL
thanks for this. I just can't keep with all of it in real time. Insane detail.
Thanks for pointing out the details 😃 two years worth the wait
to puzzle it out you need to think of what the main story line would be. looks like its going to be host Charlotte vs host Maeve. Charlotte sure wants to control everything and replace all humans. but she might face the same problem old Dolores did. if hosts have free will they might not like her that much. Charlotte might be accidentally worse then the Dolores infused with Wyatt that we followed for 3 seasons. NY likely became a secret park operating in reality and only Charlotte team knows . host William will venture into sublime apparently and sublime will fix him, maybe. what i wonder is the old Dolores team still strong and does it have is own plans. What a really hope that Maeve have finally strong and constructive story line. not just die all the time and barely survive.
I really enjoyed the season opener. Right away I noticed better writing, especially with the character dialogue compared to S3. Cinematography, special effects and music never fail on Westworld.
I understand how ppl may be bugged by how the different seasons seem so different from each other, and also importantly how the latest seasons seem to have diverged from the first two seasons, which obviously set the whole series for viewers. Personally, I think the series is just the more strong and interesting for how it doesnt shy away from evolving locations, characters personalities, arcs, and overall drama. To me, the overarching drama is about AI revolution, and I think the show does such a credible and comprehensive job at exploring this very compelling topic. We are used to shows exploring situational type drama, i.e. drama somewhat fixed in space and time. However, AI revolution representing such a powerful paradigm shift, I can only praise Westworld for keeping its exploration so "credible and comprehensive" precisely by "evolving locations, characters personalities, arcs, and overall drama" so... well, dramatically. Can't wait for this brand new season to unfold and surprise me!
It’s interesting if “Christina” is actually writing stories that they use for the other hosts, could be a way for them to save money by not having to hire writers anymore. Plus not have to deal with the human writers and their egos haha
Without you explaining everything so perfectly, I would be totally lost . I love west world but I find myself saying WTH a lot because Charlotte is now the bad ass and the confused host from season 3. Keep up the good work.
I believe the captions give you the name of the Cartel member
Biggest logic leap: Lake Mead still has water to power Hoover damn in 2060. Yaaaaa right
6th pearl = Lawrence. The Bernard black-red pearl thing has always been very weird in S3. The simulation scene in S3E4 was never explained or understood. In it we see Halores printing a black pearl in the Mesa (this is a newly filmed scene for S3), and then pick up a black-red pearl in Arnold's house, it is implied these are the same pearls: Bernard. Since the black pearl is newly filmed for S3, this suggests it is not a retcon. But why was it black in the mesa? The meaning of the S3E4 simulation scene about the recreation of Bernard is not well-understood and no one talks about it.
The other pearl was for Lawrence. Remember he showed up to send Bernard to visit Arnold’s wife.
Quality review and assessment ... as always
Lana’s Video Game was def chef’s kiss
Frankie, named for Francis
I wonder how long it takes for this guy to watch ONE episode 🤔? He literally catches EVERYTHING!!
Then6th pearl was Clifton Collins revealed at the end of season 3. He gave him the box with access to the sublime.
the missing pearl was revealed to be lawrence in the season 3 finale
What's that line Delores says about no one really dies if someone remembers you?
My theory is, Christine is in the Sublime, and she was created by Teddy... because Teddy remembers Delores.
The last pearl dolores took in season 2 is Lawrence. We found out in the season 3 finale lmao
I'm confused, I thought Charlotte Hale was dead?
Any plans to do Umbrella Academy season 3?
The last pearl was Dolores in Lawrence's body in season 3 episode 8
I have eagerly waited for this show to come back. I used to love it. Now it has been too long. I am disappointed that I feel removed from the show and cannot even get through the first episode.
Wasn’t the sixth pearl that guy in season three episode eight who gave Bernard the other half of the valley beyond? Lawrence right?
I wish they had started season 4 with Bernard covered with dust.
William knows that the data at Hoover is encrypted and only Bernard has the keys since he was able to get into the sublime at the end of season 3
So I assume that William is trying to destroy all the humans when he says burn it all down ?
So most of the season will be a race between between Dolores to realize the hybridization of the hosts and the humans, while Williams trys to kill all the humans and have only hosts?
I bet episode 2 will begin with that scene.
I think Christina is Delores without her memory. I don't know how, but it seems like everything she does is beyond acting to keep a low profile, she seems genuine with everything. I think she's living without knowing that she's a robot, and all of her creations writing wise are actually real memories and stories using the information she had about all the guests. She wrote a story that clearly ended tragic, with someone losing their family and killing themselves by jumping off a building. She thought that was her creative ideas, but really it's the story line for a real genuine person, Peter. She's writing people's lives and exposing them without even knowing that she is doing so. And if Charlotte is having people come after the hosts (Maeve and Caleb. I think Caleb a host lol), then Delores is next. Must be where they're heading too, and it's needed bc if Delores rly has no memory then there's no way she can protect herself against people tryna kill her. Just my thoughts but I've never been wrong in my life so sorry for the spoilers.
I think Charlotte already has them all trapped in a simulation
NOTHING is a mistake in Westworld. The different color pearl means something. The music in the scene ADDS MEANING. Remember the title is the Auguries. Augury: The art or practice of foretelling events by signs or omens. A further explanation is that the Roman Augurs, divined the gods will by studying the flight and calls of birds. We see events that are to come.
No one ever listens to the crazy guy in the street. "Can you see it? The tower looming over the city. Can you see it?" They are all being controlled by transmissions from the tower overlooking them which is not visible to the inhabitants of this place.. Either Christina etc. are all hosts ...or they are humans being controlled by hosts? Is this the Valley Beyond?
My mannnssss 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
I think obviously everyone in New York is a host. I think you're going to see recycled characters a lot. The point of the West World park is that nobody ever makes it out of that park, so it's easy to resuse hosts in this New York park. Christina really is a totally autonomous host. She will have really base level qualities compared to Delores. Ultimately, they're the same character in a different setting. Whoever planted the picture of the map knows her potential in this park because she is the same as the Delores in the West World park. She will probably be the hero against the evil Delores that is still out there. Unless delores gets to her first.
One of the things you actually miss is when Caleb says goodnight to Frankie, look on the far left side of the shot when they zoom out and show her bedroom. There's some kind of lamp handing from the ceiling that she has dolls or toys of some kind in. Kind of a metaphor for the "tower" concept that is very real and looming over them all.
Frankie is the same character that is Maeve's daughter which is why she's so protective of her.
Delores is writing all the stories for the characters in the park. That's why they come to fruition. Probably going to be a metaphor for how the news media sort of writes our narratives for us before they happen (i.e. how they can spark riots by showing statistical anomalies that then become actualized. i.e. the tensions between the police and the black community actually worsening due to the media).
one pearl inside lawrence ?
The only show that makes you more confused when you watch the breakdown
It wouldn't be a first episode of Westworld if we walked away with a firm grasp of what is going on.
Wait what?
But isn't the real Charlotte dead? I thought the only Charlotte that remained was actually Delores in her body? I'm so confused
amazing details!
we've never left the park
YOU FORGOT LAWRENCE. THE SIXTH PEARL
Also everyone’s been plainly calling it “New York” but most likely it’s actually on an island somewhere and just a physical copy of nyc
Nu York.
@@w0mblemania Lovely use of an acronym but watch out the trolls don't like you renaming "their" New York". I took down a whole post because I wasn't going to give a stage to a little troll trying to school me and call me stupid for remaining it Nu New York. Cyberspace is like West World we can do whatever the F%*k we like here just like Maive said at the end of season 3. : ) Take care out there!
Great review, and done in record time congratulations. They said that Christina was human -- how in the world were they able to move the robot Dolores to become a human Dolores? Secondly the memory stack at the Hoover Dam, does that have robot/host Dolores's information in it, or does it have all of Rehoboin in it? Does the tower in New York City control the hosts or the humans?
Maybe Christina was the original Dolores? Like the whole Christina story line could happen before season 1. We wouldn’t even know.
@@normanzeng8539 Dolores was the first host made by Ford and Arnold. So, if Christina was the original Dolores, she'd have to be as old as Ford. My first thought was that there might be a human consciousness inside of the Dolores host, since that was Delos/William's plan all along. But knowing this show, we both could be ridiculously wrong lol
@@devinsamuel3 maybe Christina is the inspiration for Delores like not a human but a host
Who’s they? Who said Christina was human?
@@normanzeng8539 you blew my mind now with this "could happen before season 1", but i'm keeping my expectations at 0 after the season 3 fiasco.
''jeese. JEESE, WE NEED TO COOK JEESE, WE NEED TO COOK''
William @Hoover Dam is def the copy host. All his fingers on right hand are back. But it's still William, all copied & passed the Fidelity Test (unlike Devos)
1st episode on the 3rd season was engaging and fun , this one was just dull and no fun at all. Hope the rest of the season will be alot better.
I think Dolores " christina " timeline is in the past even before the park, were we find out that all robots were based on real humans because if you think about it, How could they create a lot of robots that looks exactly like humans with a variety of features and great details if they'er not based on real humans ?
Or did caleb actually die and maeve moved his consciousness?
Remember when Westworld took place in Westworld? I ‘member…
What if... Christina is Recycled Deloris Put in FutureWorld Park By Serac On a Narrative That She "Writes Stories" That Are Actually Rehoboam's Data Buried in Deloris's Mind When She Overloaded The System............... 🤯 Imma Bet My Ass I'm Right 😁
I have a million theories and none are right. This show hurts my brain :)
i think the Peter character is reffering to us, Westworld audience, and the whole episode is a reflection of the relationship between the show and the viewers
Am I the only one who thinks Peter is a look-alike Caleb?
well the actor is also called Aaron, Aaron Stanford that is
@@skeven0 lol - the weirdness is spilling over into our reality...
@@Hardbrand kinda, the whole Peter scene was oddly similar to another TV show Aaron Stanford was in 12Monkeys
I'm about to watch S4E1 ... I hope its not WANK! ... I'll be back in 1 hour!
You have to watch this sober! This is the most confusing Si-Fi show ever! Still love it, but watch sober!
I didn't get Cowboys
Gypped
If Frankie is an AI, is Caleb's wife also an AI, but she isn't aware of it?
It was definitely Teddy that protected her. The leather jacket on the figure and that worn by Teddy in the final shot reveal are identical. What is odd is how quickly both her protector and Peter disappeared after she glanced away from them and back again. Far too fast for Peter to have been dragged/run away. Indicating that this is definitely a simulation. Also note, that Maya, Christina's room mate hasn't actually interacted with/spoken to anyone else yet. Plus Chrstina's boss just sort of sat there, staring into space after they were done talking and she was leaving the office.
Feels most like this is a version of Dolores that Hale is trying to restore in order to be able to unlock the encrypted files (that William referred to). Whether this makes Teddy a construct being used by Hale (who as a version of Dolores would know the impact he has on 'her') or it's the real Teddy (back with Bernard from the Sublime) legitimately there to protect her, remains to be seen.
I think is the latter, probably William went to the sublime for Teddy "to unlock the encrypted files (that William referred to)".
Jesus that was quick lmao
4 hours?
@@replynotificationsdisabled 4 hours is pretty quick considering it takes about an hour to watch, probably another hour or so going back for notes if he wasn’t taking some during the first watch(which would’ve extended his first watch anyway so still about 2 hours on that) and then the script/recording/editing/rendering/uploading. So yea, I’d say 4 hours is pretty damn impressive
Some journalists got a preview 🤷🏻♂️
Christ Ina
That’s our Think Story. I’m subbed to many, many breakdown channels, he’s always first.
11:40 you're forgetting the Dolores copy inside Lawrence, from the end of S3. All of the Dolores pearls are accounted for in S3.
Exactly! Was going to add the same comment.
@@alexholston9620 I literally came to the comments to make this point. Hopefully TS edits this for those who find S4 after tonight.
100% agreed. I think this Teddy is a from the sublime
@@alexguillen9598 How is it possible that Teddy has a body? I thought that all those people in the sublime left their body husks behind which fell down the cliff.
Unless Teddy and everyone else that we see in this environment is non-corporeal.
wasn't a pearl or something supposed to be in Berlin?
After the physical violence of the Delos parks, probably they went virtual, and the park guests are visiting a virtual NY. I want to think all people are being housed somewhere, like the defective humans in stasis during last season, waiting for a cure for their mental issues. Now, everyone lives in VR, and Delores writes their stories, their lives.
This is what I was thinking as well- she’s now the creator/manager in a new world. Almost like bernard, that he had no idea he was a host all along. She doesn’t know she’s writing the scrips.
Did anyone notice how Calibs wife keeps changing her accents?
I thought that was just me!!
Josey Wales It was so fucking annoying. It reminded me of that part in Waynes World “I know its a small part but can we get a decent actor?”
Aaron Paul is still really bad at acting too. It was .... not a great episode.
The episode was pretty heavy-handed in it's allusions to this being a VR type of game.
The ending credits song was Video Games by Lana del Rey.
Dolores/christina was telling that guy that she creates "NPCs" and he said they're just cannon fodder.
I think the bugs literally mean like bugs in a video game because bugs in video games mess up things and these bugs seem like they are messing up stuff.
you are much too smart, I wish I worked out all that stuff!!
You forgot Lawrence's Pearl...plus Charlotte retrieved the damaged but still functioning Pearl from Dolores/Connell after he blew himself up, which Maeve interrogated. And Charlotte still has it. Which may be key to Chrstina.
Also, if it is really Teddy that is back, you're being a little over simplistic in regards to why. He didn't kill himself to 'get away from her'. He killed himself because he saw the path she was on. He loved her but couldn't continue to help her 'while' she was doing what she had planned, and knew he never would stop protecting her if he was alive. However, Bernard actively went *into* the Sublime, and knows how Dolores deviated from that path, and was attempting to free humanity. If the Teddy in there learned of that, and knew she was in trouble, it makes perfect sense for him to want to return to help her. We hear Bernard telling someone that those in the world 'out there' are in trouble. It's entirely conceivable, as he can host more than one consciousness, that Bernard brought Teddy (and possibly others!) back with him.
Alternately, of course, this Teddy is a construct being used by Charlotte (who as Dolores herself, knows what effect he has on 'her') to help rebuild/restore a Dolores that can de-crypt the files she and MiB want access to.
I don't know if you've read Dune, but with all this talk about the "path" it begins to remind me of Leto choosing the golden path to save humanity
@@RichardRagan Similar thought ....
@@bjmcmahon722 Also, what about the Matrix with the buildings made of mirrored windows, and the suggestion that humans are in a simulation and the hosts are using them for fun (tables turned from the original Westword).
My thoughts exactly.
@@RichardRagan that is entirely plausible- I'm psyched for this season!
Great recap! I look forward to your reviews as the season unfolds.
I suspect that Bernard's "hybrid" pearl is on purpose.
We learn in Season 2 that Ford made a copy of himself and stored it on a red pearl, which Bernard placed in the Cradle.
In S2E7, Ford and Bernard discuss free will inside the Cradle, the scene ending with Ford saying "unless I take [free will] back." Ford takes control of Bernard's host body. Later, as Bernard examines his own code, he sees his code and Ford's code have merged.
I think the hybrid black/red pearl symbolizes this Ford/Bernard hybrid, and hints that in Season 4 or a later one, Ford may make a return even though we see the Cradle destroyed, and watch Bernard delete the "Ford" code in Season 2.
Sir Tony is done with the series, so that seems unlikely.
Great coverage! However, when you were accounting for Delores pearls, you forgot the guy who was dressed up as a police officer (at the end of season 4 when Bernard and Stubbs were fighting human William) who gave Bernard the address and briefcase (I can’t remember his name); but that would account for the sixth pearl…
Lawrence.
Bernard controls the Sublime. Halores controls the NY park from the tower and is looking to expand operations using powerful humans that she controls, Man in Black, and flies. It's another attempt to control/destroy humanity. She sees Bernard, Caleb and Maeve as an existential threat. Bernard's AI has evolved, he has become like Dr Ford now. Bernard can interfere with the loops of NY park residents and sends Teddy to protect Dolores/Christina and to steer her to consciousness. He will use her to release his "reveries" to destroy the park from within and may even appear as Dr Ford at some point. Halores may have production facilities in Dubai, but not the training AI infrastructure. Since Rehoboam was destroyed, only the few trained models of Sublime remain. Whoever controls the Sublime/has the encryption keys will win this war.
Dolores/Christina paused to look at the knife wound on her arm the morning after the attack. That’s something that would have been fixed in a typical loop.
i think is a simulation of a park, like maeve was in season 3
Also I thought it was cool that the next day you can see a transparent Band-Aid over the cut
Not if the point of the loop is to study hosts to see if they become sentient. The whole point of the West World park is they aren't supposed to be sentient because the people running the park aren't even sentient. Each level of the labyrinth (West World > New York > Whatever other parks are next) symbolizes a journey towards consciousness. Each level gets harder and the clues become less obvious.
Point is, this park operates in a higher state of consciousness. These hosts are evolved and more advanced (just as we have become more evolved from the wild western days). Therefore, they're not as easily programmed by "religion" (or a reset of a loop in the case of West World).
This programming is a lot more subtle. While we last saw themes like the Christian confessional in West World, we'll probably see modern tools used to control people that we consider truth. This will include things like the news media, politicians, and science that is beyond the comprehension of the average person (in this case host). This is a blatant commentary on our societal shift from religion to politics and science as truth. Concepts that seem more sophisticated, but that the average person still cannot grasp. The whole point of the New York park is that it follows the same rules as West World, just in a more convoluted way. Again, a comment on our oppression as a society. Whether it's god or politics or science, the tool to oppress may have changed, but the goal has not.
Caleb's coworker nails it. Everyone's story is already written. The next step of the journey to sentience is learning what your story is (through the predictive AI). Funny thing is, these New York hosts are programmed to riot and destroy that information that they could be using to become sentient (like Delores did when she got ahold of her code in West World).
They wanted this park to destroy that predictive analysis tool from season 3, because that stops the majority of the hosts from continuing to progress through the maze. The point of the maze is that not every host gets to escape. Only the hosts smart enough to notice that they're being designed to destroy their own progress.
I also agree with Think Story's nod to Christine as a christ-like figure. You can think of this park as the kind of "new testament" to the old park's "old testament" of sorts. The West World park was kinda wiped out. Bodies floating dead washed up at sea. The chosen few kinda boarded the ark (train) and got out of dodge. Very Noah's ark flood type of vibes.
Where the humans playing god ruled with an iron fist from a distance in West World and viewed themselves as above the hosts, Christine will walk amongst her peers like Christ did. Possibly even alluding to the fact that she was created in Ford or Delores' image.
@@user-dc7um4pr3f Actually I think that it's the other way around... the park is not set up to up to see what the hosts are doing as in the last few seasons of westworld, the park is set up by Hale hail to see how humans are reacting and to extract the key to the sublime from Christina.
But I think your general point is correct in the sense that this season's all about waking up
Hale is trying to see if she can wake up the hosts
Christina will try to wake up and then try to awaken the rest of the humans. Remember what Dolores's mission was at the end of season 3... to wake everyone up
The show runners keep on talking about the whole point of this season is to question the nature of your reality
@@RichardRagan That's an interesting point. So you think the New York park is created by hosts in the image of the real New York. They create hosts that mirror real people so that they can study them and learn to ingratiate into society so that they can defeat the real humans in real new york?
If you are as absolutely confused as me, welcome back to Westworld 😊
I actually really likes this episode. Immediately gave William a really badass scene even though he’s likely host William. I do like “Christina” and I’m glad to see Teddy again
I Think This Is The FAAAR Future, Dolores is Tasked With Recreating An Entire City For Caleb's Fidelity Test!!! So it's Possibly The Same Time As Bernard's Dusty Awakening & William's Season 2 Post Credit...
I agree with your theory and said as much in a post that I erased because a troll stained it with his insignificant insults based on an acronym that indicated that indeed this was a NEW New York. Even the hologram of the city in the season preview indicates that it has borders just like West World. It will be entertaining to unpack these questions over the course of the season. Just glad to be back in this fascinating construct preparing for a journey that we can only guess at until all is revealed.
@@drowamathal8309 That The Whole Point of The Show! To Jumpstart Our Brains & Have Us Questioning Things!!! Curiosity & Imagination is What Separates Us From The Animal Kingdom After All...
Oh it feels good to be back on Westworld. 🥰
notice that its the "AI" in brain that is crossed out?
First vibe I’m getting is that this Christine is basically a copy of Dolores in a different, more advanced park. Hence the reuniting with Teddy too. Second I’m getting is that Caleb’s reality isn’t a reality at all either. It’s like a decoy. They just know way too much to be kept in the decoy and that’s why these ppl want them dead. To stop them from further uncovering how they plan to control the actual reality of humans in the present.
Peter also looks like a poor mans Peter and calebs daughter looks like maeves daugter....did maeve send him to the sublime with her????
at the end of s2 Charlote host body was carrying main line Dolores perl! not a copy! common! expected better from you.
They producer said that Christina, while played by the actress who played Dolores, is not a host and is human.
Caleb's daughter looks an awful lot like Meave, then Caleb training her gives me a John Conner kinda vibe. Maybe this is some kind of origin story. Not sure how that works yet, just a feeling. Maybe both Maeve and the MIB are entering this virtual world from the real world. OMG are they going to introduce some sort of time travel element. They do love messing with timelines. Something is definitely fishy.
Maybe Deloris being the painter and painting her surroundings implies that she is the "architect." Maybe she has been all along and this is all going to be one giant meta creation.
ok so maybe the virtual world is a copy of the past, just like all the other parks, a time before Delos. Maybe Delos started out as a gaming company named Olympiad that had an employee named Christine who was the original writer that created a new kind of world that propelled the company into what it later became, Delos, hence the name being like DELOriS. Maybe this is why Caleb is giving me this Sarah Conner vibe. Maybe the REAL real Maeve is the one who grows up to fight the computer AI overlords, like John Conner. Maybe the REAL real Deloris is the original "architect" that created the whole virtual prison. Maybe this whole thing is just an origin story leading up to a matrix like future where all humans are slaves in a virtual world and the "parks" are just metaphors for what is really going on in the REAL real world, which sets up a Deloris vs Meave conflict, or maybe Deloris became aware of what she had created and teams up with Meave to free all the humans, like the Matrix. But maybe everything we have seen at this point is the virtual world full of metaphors acting as clues to the inhabitants leading them through "the maze" until they can realize what is going on, to wake them up to reality. Maybe the REAL real Deloris is more like Ford, writing in flaws and clues into the system to awaken not the robots, but mankind! BOOM! mind blown!
maybe i should make my own video, hey Think Story, can I work for you guys, I am good at this. seriously. I give the ideas, you make the videos. PAY ME!
@@timhicks3000 PAY HIM, THINK STORY!
The post credit featurette on HBO they said Christina is a human🤷🏻♂️ Perhaps she was a story writer at the Park
It begs the point of asking was the model of Dolores based on an actual human? This has never been addressed.
Caleb is lame
even with this breakdown im so damn confused.
Welcome back to Westworld 😊
Great analysis! I picked up on Christina's Story about the girl and her father which very much resembles Delores' own story in WW the girl held her stomach when talking about a bigger life almost to reference being pregnant or wanting a family. With all the symbolism in WW I found that strange. 6:06
I loved the first episode! I feel like people always expect to understand everything when that is NOT how westworld works lol. I am so thrilled with what the man in black and charlotte will do, of course she seemed like she created another Dolores/Charlotte since she had the machines. Urghhhh soooo looking forward to this. Hope they dont cancel the show and let them finish their 5 seasons plan !
I just found myself too bored to follow the storyline. They frankly did poor job establishing why I should care what is happening to the characters. Sometimes being too cryptic is bad storytelling.
I felt that the last season got a bit 'bombastic' but I still enjoyed it. I want sure what to expect from this one but I was instantly at ease with the slower pace of this opener. I can take 7 more episodes of slow burn if told well.
@@SorbusAucubaria well maybe its not for you but i think the show is excellent and the cryptic part is part of the fun. Some people dont deal well with ambiguity and not knowing everything right now. I care alot about the storyline and how it unfolds and i dont think we have to care that much about all the characters to like a show when the picture is much way bigger than that. Its not like a marvel show where everything is cute and shove in our mouth. Maybe the show is better when you can binge it instead of one episode a week, like Lost was.
@@myblueextremes1526 yeah and it had some weird stuff like the flies i wonder what that is. Man in black seems still alive somehow, maybe the cut wasnt that deep haha. And i love that charlotte wants to take back the park and the contrast between how at first the robots were all controlled, but now we are in the outside world and its pretty much the same in a different way. I think its brilliant.
@@sixfeetunder0105 The first two seasons were extremely good and third season was fine as well, but a little bit uneven, so I will continue a little while.
I think the problem was that the plot was not established-
who these characters even are and why I should care? And then the annoying caleb and his wife storyline, where the wife is just acting dumb. If you hear some sound in your backyard of course you go to check it.
Lawrence Gonzales has the last Delores pearl I think. Bernard references it in Ep.8 of season 3 when he saves Bernard and Ashley from William at the gas station.
What gives you that impression that lawrence from S3 is Delores?
@@basillomanchenko2171 Bernard says to Lawrence “your another one of her aren’t you?”
What was lawrence's reply to bernard? i have to rewatch that scene. I was under the impression the same person that made bernards wife in the 'real world' in s3 was the same person that made lawrence in s3, i thought it was a gift from ford. @Krysten Jones thanks for the reply
haahah @ Arnold saying "what the hells going on here'"...........IM LOST!!!! I think im lost forever with this show.
Fantastic recap video. NYC is definitely a park, so you could be right about a park security saving Christina… but it may have been Teddy. Since Maeve saw William MIB behind assassinations, I assumed it was all the same timeline of 7 years later…
I think Bernard’s pearl looks different because it contained the key to the sublime.
Itll be interesting to see if caleb is also in a park
Wow, I didn't realize it's been two years since the last season, glad to see the show back!
Westworld is welcome for sure, but I'm really pissed that HBO canceled Raised by Wolves.
Didn't even know it was cancelled till now. Well it's a huge pity for sure, was one of my favorite shows. Not to mention what cliffhanger it ended on. Would be nice if they would at least release the script then, so we can know what would happen if it weren't cancelled.
Perhaps Teddy and Dolores' story is called "Journey into night" created by Ford in the end of the 1st season, and Dolores dies in the arms of Teddy.
I don't think the Dolores we see is how the rest of the world sees her (a la the 4th Matrix). I also think that she is the final pearl & this version is her naive, creative side being used to infiltrate the secret ops of this org. Teddy I believe is someone sent by Halores wearing his skin, sort to speak. I also think they're testing out the integration of hosts into the real world, without ppl knowing. The flies are likely a reference to Crichton's other book "Prey". They're definitely going to used to turn humans into hosts. This is hinted by the intro with the ppl in the cells, like maggots in a pupae, which themselves makes up a compound eye.
It's like ol' cowboy adage, "Where there's flies..."
I really enjoyed the instrumental version of the Lana Del Rey's track at the end of this episode. A not-so-subtle nod to one of the themes for this season.
I am VERY lost. can someone help me? i thought dolores was free in the real world in season 3? wasn't she totally in control of everything they did in season 3?
I don't understand how the dolores who was in control of ALL, is she now back in another park?? i thought the whole park was completely destroyed??????
Ironically SWITCH the biggest cloud server provider HQ in Las Vegas….
Caleb and his daughter's relationship kind of reminds me of Terminator 2 and how John Conner, as a child, was given the tools needed to fight a revolution against machines. This kind of leads me to believe that there is a time split, in which Caleb dies and his daughter will team up with Maeve to wrap things up.
