Still it allows for this: OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED TEDDY! YOU BASTARDS! Big Questionsġ. Bernard thinks he did it, but who knows if that's the truth, given how he's been manipulated in the past. Which might be why he ends up dead with a load of other hosts in that shocking final moment. Well, we say their, but Teddy doesn't seem to be down with the programme. Not cool shooting kid Ford, though, man.Įlsewhere Dolores and Teddy and continuing their run of vengeance. And a game designed just for him by Robert Ford (shout out to a quick voice cameo from Anthony Hopkins)? He finally got his wish, and now he'll have to figure out what lies beyond The Door. The nature of the park also came into clearer focus, as we learn here that it's on an island (a nod to Jurassic Park, which just makes us hope for a dinosaur park down the line even more than ever) and that a nearby government – China? – isn't happy with Delos' actions.Īnd while we don't see William this week, we do check in with Ed Harris' Man In Black, who must surely be pleased that the park is now running at Bastard Hard Level. The imagery of the Drone Hosts is also unique and creepy on another level.

So the hosts were collecting information on the guests via their DNA from sexual (and, one assumes other) encounters? We've heard of your data being in danger, but this is quite something. Maeve's mission to reunite with her child (more great sass and spine from Thandie Newton on display), Dolores' grand plan to seize control from her former human overlords and Bernard learning more of Delos darker plans thanks to Tessa Thompson's Charlotte Hale. There are much more clearly defined objectives here, even if a lot is still in shadow. And what's going on around him somehow feels more satisfying for those frustrated by the narrative trickery. Of the various timelines and tales being told here, it helps to have Wright's character as an anchor of sorts. And there's a little more cohesion now the lion's (or should that be tiger's?) share of the world building has been done. At least now we have more of a grasp on the distinct stories being told here. A bullet in the noggin will do that to you. With luck, they might actually be able to show us answers before the Internet hive mind guesses and reveals everything.īut if you were hoping that the show was done with time-hopping, we have bad news: thanks to Bernard/Arnold/it's Jeffrey Wright, just go with it, we keep flashing between different periods. We're thrown straight into the plot whirlwind once again, and mysteries are once again brewing, but from the evidence of this initial offering, it does feel like the creative team have learned a few of the lessons of the first season, doling out more information and solving smaller riddles within each episode while laying breadcrumbs towards the bigger questions. Welcome back to Westworld! It has been a long wait for more episodes of the show, but this season premiere – Journey Into Night – a reference to American playwright Eugene O'Neill's magnum opus Long Day's Journey Into Night, which seems appropriate given the level of soul (or hard drive) searching the characters on this show are wont to go through. Saddle up! But beware potential spoilers in this review, which will discuss elements of the episode.
