This week’s Deep Dive covers Solomon’s definition of an outlier, robo smelling salts, super-crappy targeting systems, EMP blasts, Ashley’s Mortal Kombat tournament, and a long list of fascinating callbacks to previous episodes and seasons. “Passed Pawn” also led us to question which podcast host has the best Shat voice, why Maeve is getting the short end of the stick, and how to play chess like an Ash.

Not Enough Time to Tell the Story

So I am a little earlier this time for the penultimate episode of Westworld season7. Before I complain I want to say I mostly liked this episode, I think the shortcomings of the overall season made this episode less impactful than it would have been in other seasons. I liked...
