If you were patiently waiting Westworld in order start not working properly with your mind, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that there are some strange, confusing questions raised in today's episode. The bad news is that I don't think they all have answers.
A too much happens with “Type,” so if you were waiting third season to hit the high gear, it's time to tie this up. We get the story of Serac's story (Vincent Cassel) and the control of civilization Rehoboam and pins with some disturbing clues about Caleb's past and surprises him too. And, uh, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) is a kind of earth-shattering, highly dramatic development that is just another step in his final plans.

The final hack into Rehoboam using Liam (John Gallagher Jr.), who he and Caleb (Aaron Paul) were last week. Liam is reluctant to give him the access key, of course, until Serac sends his rivals to pull them out, and Liam is forced to hand it over so that Dolores can fire Rehoboam's controlled and fleeing passengers. He also uses it to get into Rehoboam proper, but the show gives them another tedious job first: Liam clings to Caleb and team-mate Genre, which is why the title of the episode, which enables him to see the world through movie genres, though this one is not too long and it doesn't matter! There is a slow car chase where Dolores has a gun that shoots drone-type arrows to make sure it hits its target. Usually Liam is annoying, except when he uses those hall glasses to read Caleb's file and pull out the power immediately. Dolores also calls Lena Waithe and hiring criminals Marshawn Lynch, Ash and Giggles season to help protect Serac's pockets.
If Dolores has the key, it can only be used to access Rehoboam on "The Node" at InCite HQ — right where Dolores-Connell (Tommy Flanagan) keeps Bernard. Dolores sends a D-Connell key, D-Connell sends a file to Serac, and Dolores sends everyone in the world their Rehoboam files, completing whether or not they were allowed to reproduce. Westworld
As Dolores and co. traveling through L.A., people are probably wondering, screaming alone, fighting, or burning cars. Chaos rules … and the fact that civilization has been completely and irrevocably transformed never again. It doesn't help that it happens in the middle of the episode, followed by scenes with very low stats, and Dolores doesn't give it any real power. After a little crying, he goes back to business, because uncovering the power of Rehoboam and changing the course of human civilization is just one of a to-do list.
The most exciting thing that happened later was the pier, where Dolores, Caleb, Ash, and Giggles led Liam to decide his fate. Liam doesn't need his Rehoboam glasses to figure out how this will play out, and he offers a fun and provocative idea that rich, special people see anyone who needs the public's help in any way: Rehoboam is not a problem, poor, sick, and disabled. "It's a prison for us all!" she cries. He is you are angry
It's great when Ash shoots him just in the gut, though not before Liam cries out to Caleb that he's the "worst" of them. Aside from this, Caleb is trying to drain the bleeding, leading to many of the most immediate and mysterious circumstances of his time in the war – including leading a man in chains with a black handbag, the man who eventually became Veronica Mars' father (always welcome to Enrico Colantoni). The cherry on top of "what the hell happened to Caleb's sundae" Liam's dying words to her, "You did."
While we get this strange glimpse of Caleb's past, "Nature" gives Serac a story of complete origin. Ever since he saw Paris taken over when he was a boy, it made sense that he and his wonderful brother wanted to find a way to save humanity from them. As Serac relates, they find Liam Dempsey Sr. to invest their money by showing how to predict the stock market. When the billionaire made billions of dollars these brothers "organized the whole human race." Unfortunately, no matter what lessons they receive, humanity has become self-destructive in the end because of some people who can't be helped, predicted, or controlled – including Serac's brother, who has a mental health problem.
Finally, Dempsey learns that Serac has not only put his brother (and many others) in mental health care… a prison, in fact, where it can affect the society he created. Dempsey gets another clue that there may be a problem when Serac says he uses war as "wooden trees" for other "salesmen." When the Dempsey compound wants to get out, Serac tilts his head inside.
It could be a straightforward archive of a seasoned man this season, except for three confusing things: 1) Before killing him, Serac tells Dempsey, "Elsewhere in this group there is an opponent who will destroy the world." Who? Which group? 2) Dempsey felt safe with Serac in his last moments because he used Rehoboam to make sure Serac wouldn't hurt him. But Serac informs him that there are short-term "bubble agencies" – random things can happened… like the assassination of Sergac Dempsey. How short, but how can the hell of Rehoboam predict the future if it can't predict such dramatic events? 3) Serac also tells Demspey that in every situation where the public is told about Rehoboam's ability to decide their lives, mankind is doomed. Dolores did just that, which meant that her plan to kill everyone was successful. Now what the hell does he have to do next? And what could Serac possibly do to remedy the situation if the god-computer proved that humanity was gone?
Other questions: Caleb sees Dolores being shot multiple times in the torso and is perfectly fine, so she sees something about him. But why would he ignore these characters when a shot at the prime of the season made him stand out? If Serac already has enough data to predict the future with such precision that it can control the world, why would it want Delos so badly? Why is Bernard the only Host Dolores to take office? Also, what the hell did Caleb do that made Liam free?
I guess Westworld it has almost half the answers, and some of the negative effects of the show didn't reflect the story of the season as well as it had before. Anyway, that's fine Westworld it came back to making me wonder what the hell thing feels like instead of blaming it.
Target Music:
- David Bowie's beautiful orchestral cover "Ground Control to Major Tom" got me thinking about it GuardsVery high cover of "Life on Mars," so you get that.
- At the beginning of the episode, Serac's assistant tells him that there is a "hidden weapon" at yakuza HQ where Dolores-Musashi battles with Maeve, but there are others in Jakarta, Berlin, San Francisco, and L.A. Since Dolores-Hale is in S.F. and Dolores-Connell is in L.A. (as in the case of Original Recipe Dolores), it seems that some versions of it are the victims of the other two sites. Apparently, Dolores-Musashi refers to one of them after leaving the HQ, and the last, unknown Host's body to the other. But what do they achieve?
- The stems are, in fact, immortal. Under the pretense, he and Bernard meet up and shout for Dolores-Connell, who lets them go before he hits himself and a handful of Serac agents.
- Anyone else a little sad when Dolores instructs her to go for a bike ride? He treated her like a pet, and he always seemed very willing to help her.
- I will give you a No-Prize Award if you can tell me all five Caleb models. Please note that nothing about the black and white films of the 1940s felt as though they were not, and the 1940s are no exception. Also, if the last type is "real" then that is fraud.
