West World Is Sinking

What a load of old codswallop Caleb spent most of the episode looking like he had something up his ass I still can’t find any emotional pull in this show. Pretentious as ever. I’m sure the writing and production team think they are super arty and intellectual. I won’t be...

Who’s Number Six? And Charlotte’s Plan

Hello to ShatWorld and hope everyone’s fine. Since the end of season two, we’ve been wasting time on the identity of the pearls when the only important question was “how many?”. Five in the bag and one in Charlotte’s head. Meaning 6 hosts could be built. So far we seen...
