Westworld Episode 7 Review: “Passed Pawn”

Westworld Season, 3, Episode 7, revealed a massive clue to Caleb’s true identity. If you missed it, you aren’t alone. If you want to know what it is, you’ll have to listen.

Ash Is Great Addition

Hi, I was giving it most of the season to access and offer an opinion on the addition of Ash to the pod I have thoroughly enjoyed her as a host. She offers a new (female) voice and I find her takes to be insightful and well reasoned. She has...

Westworld S3 E7 Theory: Sick Family = Happy Rehoboam

Hi, While watching episode 7 for a second time, a seemingly meaningless line of dialogue from Francis struck me as the huge clue to Rehoboam’s machinations. As he and Caleb drink coffee before they begin their RICO mission, Francis mentions that his daughter seems to always be sick and constantly...
