Theresa 2.0

Hey guys, So this episode killed me and brought me back to life. It was everything I’d hoped for as we get to the end of the first season! Quick theory for next week’s episode: The big reveal this week was that Bernard is indeed a host. In a crazy,...

Enjoying the Beauty of Westworld

Dear Roger, Dick and Gene, with special direction towards Dick Ebert, who said in the Instant Take: “But in the end that’s not what I want to focus on or what I want to enjoy. And as I found that all these secrets were being revealed, I was sad. I...
