Let's be honest: There's a good chance most of us have forgotten the program Westworld the second season, for those who have watched it at all. As we head toward into the third season, it's good to look back on what has happened so far – but only the things that matter. Everything else, well, doesn't look like us about anything.
Based on the Michael Crichton movie of the same name, Westworld stars Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores, manager of robots in the theme park of the West designed to help the rich and powerful. He and his collaborators are sick of acting as toys for violent pleasure and their violent edges, and so they start a riot – caused by their creator, Robert Ford. Season two is about the disgusting heresy, with next season expected to be Dolores's battle in the real world.
Here are all the important questions you may have Westworld the second season, including who's still alive, how the maze and the Door were talked about, and how long we've seen them. Tit might be here many more details people may think it's worth remembering and, free of pop them in comments. Be sure to watch our video above a detailed description of the purpose of the original park, something that looks like it will play a major role in season three.
1. Who is Dolores?
Dolores Abernathy was the first robot created for the Argos Initiative and is a former active owner of Westworld. Arnold believed he was gaining a sense of humor and examined him over and over again to help him grow as a person. When Arnold realized he had made a mistake in making the troops, he added a lethal program in Dolores called "Wyatt" that would have him kill every keeper on the first test farm and he (with the phrase "these deliciously violent" violent moments "). Ford, at his death, has reinvented the Wyatt system in Dolores as part of his revolt against Westworld robots and other parks.
Dolores is now a mix of her original and Wyatt's personality, with a visceral hatred of the people and a desire to end all their habits towards her people. His body was dumped and left at Westworld but managed to escape in the form of Charlotte Hale, the executive director of the Delos Destitions board. It looks like Deadbringer's reign of terror has just begun.
2. How many parks?
There are six total parks owned by Delos Places, and so far we have grown to three. There's Westworld, after all, a park that started it all. In season two we found Shōgun World, the most violent type of Westworld inspired by Edo-period feudal Japan, and the Raj, the hub of animal hunting for robots in India during British colonial rule. In season three we are expected to visit a new park set in World War II in Europe, which may be called WarWorld, leaving two parks anonymous.
3. How long have we been up to now?
If the first season of Westworld it was to dip the toe into many overlapping periods of time, when the second season was a full belly band. In fact, the compiled timeline is one of the main reasons some people stopped watching it in season two, because it was so hard to follow.
By now, we have been seeing it for about forty years, without any major exceptions. It began around 2015 when Logan was first introduced to the idea of robots managers, which were developed by Ford and Arnold. The story goes in 2052, which is when the revolution of robots took place. In the meantime, we have traveled each decade following the stories of Dolores, William, Ford, and the development of Westworld together. There was a fundraising event for the second season that took place in an unknown location, reflecting the demolition of the center.
4. What is Maze?
The Black man spent a lot of time searching in the center of the maze, a world-changing secret that was symbolized by a seal that spread throughout the park. This symbol was not just toys for the child that Arnold gave to his dying son, but what it symbolized was something much larger. It was not intended for the Black Man, or anyone else in the park, because it was a tool that robots had been doing to reach enlightenment.
In the first episode "Kiksuya," it was introduced to Akecheta, a Native American native played by Zahn McClarnon. He was the first one who broke his loop and introduced himself to the park – even though Arnold wasted all his energy on Dolores, a virtual reality robot was at the bottom of his nose the whole time. After discovering the reality of Westworld (lost to love, Kohana, still in progress), Akecheta spent decades spreading the word between Ghost Ghost, using a signal from a toy he discovered after Arnold was killed. Members of the Tribe would mark themselves and the world around them with a sign, determined to keep the truth alive as they continue to die, for the sake of the people.
5. What is the Department?
Some observers thought that the Department was a metaphor for the apostasy of the congregations, but the reality was much more real. Door was a gateway to a place called Sublime, aka the Valley Beyond or Robot Eden, a digital world created by Robert Ford for troops to escape the horrors of human world and to live in peace. Upon entering, their memory was cleared and cleaned, making it impossible for the owners to be restored online.
Dolores challenged the authorities who used it, believing that it was some “false promise” from the people who created it, and wanted to ban it. Fortunately, at least one-third of Westworld's athletes – including Akecheta and Kohana – managed to finish it in advance. Later, Dolores sends content to a private location to keep its agents safe.
6. Did Maeve get her daughter?
Yes, she was living with another guardian who was scheduled to be her mother. For the last two seasons, Maeve's daughter and surrogate mother have crossed the door and into Slime / Valley Beyond. Maeve was able to buy them time to move on, making sacrifices in the process. Unlike Dolores, Maeve had no desire to take revenge on humanity. Although he has the power to manage remotely, and use it to his advantage, his philosophy is about making his path by giving other licensees the freedom to do the same.
7. What happened to Bernard?
Very much! Host created by Robert Ford's colleague, Arnold Weber, has come through some difficulties. Most of the second season takes place in Bernard's unrelated view, which serves as an example of an unreliable narrator. That's because he has been aiming for his memory over the past two decades, so Delos's security forces have not been able to reach what he has just done to protect Dolores and the broadcasters.
Trying to summarize the important parts: After shooting Dolores to stop her from getting into Sublime, she realized that he actually needed her and brought her back, putting the knot in control of Charlotte Hale's body. However, he also hid the control unit of Peter Abernathy (Dolores' father), which contains Sublime and the entire Forge system, to ensure that both Dolores and Delos could not find it. In the end, the Dolores (like Hale) managed to secure Abernathy's place in Bernard, but surprisingly he chose to protect the intruders. He then killed her.
It's also worth noting that throughout the season, Bernard has continued to see Ford's ideas and think he is in control of him. But it turns out that it was simply an internal memory of Bernard as Ford, his mentor and friend, something Ford suggested was a major step towards helping those in charge. This means that Bernard eventually gained free will.
8. What is the true goal of Westworld?
James Delos' real goal for Westworld, and all the parks of the Delos Deltures, was to make human sight and make immortality possible, giving the rich the opportunity to live forever in robotic bodies. Remember: This is not the same Modified Carbon where people were given "stacks" that saved their minds from the disc. In turn, Westworld he was repeating each person's consciousness using their memories. Consider copying paste instead of paste.
They did this by secretly collecting every visitor to the park, with their cowboy hats hiding high-tech brain scanners – that not only recorded all of the visitor's encounters, but also how they felt. The idea was that the parks show people their most honesty, because they were in an innocent place or effect. James Delos was the first article to be tested but they were unable to achieve "reliability," so the owner in his image was left to rot.
At the end of the season, Dolores is filled with Forge, which contained all the park visitors' information, and will therefore be destroyed. However, depending on the post (explained below) and what we learned about season three, it seems that technology and data are in place.
9. Is the Black Man still at home?
Probably not. Still there with technology up in the air, but all signs point to Williams as a person – in a sense. That second-year post-credits scene, which takes place in the near future, depicts the type of William's daughter, Emily, testing a Black Man his "To be honest." In addition, the other two season's episodes appeared to be in disarray, suggesting that they probably did not originate in the wake of robots but in fact they did happen sometime.
10. Where has Season 2 left everyone?
He is alive:
Dolores: The season concludes with Dolores leaving Westworld in disguise as Charlotte, with five control units catching some of the minds that come into play. Then we see him in his body, perhaps in the real world, preparing Bernard for the next phase in his program.
Bernard: Dolores may have killed her, but that was only temporary. After all, they need each other. Dolores brought her back to the real world, bringing her back to a new version of her body. It is unclear what role he has in his mind, but we think it will serve as a ballast-ethical one. She is Sherlock to Moriarty.
William (MiB): We last saw William in Westworld, one of the survivors of the robot revolution. In spite of the obvious, he was in excellent physical and mental condition.
Ashley Stubbs: The last time we saw Stubbs, he was giving Charlotte / Dolores the tournament to leave Westworld even though he knew he was a local manager. He also strongly suggested that he owns the property.
Akane and Musashi (maybe): The two soldiers were staying at Shōgun World, saying they would defend their home.
Sylvester and Felix: Mahede's closest craftsmen are beyond me.
Is dead:
Homes for Sublime: Teddy, Akecheta, Kohana, Maeve's daughter (and new mother).
Kings who are can come back: Maeve, Hector, Armistice, Clementine, Angela, Lawrence.
People: Lee Sizemore, Elsie, Charlotte Hale, Karl Strand, Emily.
Westworld returns for season three on March 15. The only time to say how violent the conclusions are is, following all that violence.
