Westworld Lost Line

Love the podcast! There’s a lost line that has trouble with me since episode one of season three. Near the end of the episode, host Martin Connells says to real Martin as he is about to kill him “Don’t worry. I can’t imagine anyone’s gonna miss you.” These are the...

Westworld and William

Westworld episode 4 Kenny p. Roger gene Ashley and Big D. Listened to the deep dive and I had an epiphany I want to share. I am rushing to get it to you so pardon any mistakes. I wrote in with a lighter email on Monday night as I just...

Passed Pawn

Hi again (sorry to write twice on 1 telegraph). A quick thought/theory. Evan Rachel Wood was asked which is her favorite episode of this season & answered “ep 7”. (Without elaborating, of course.) I see the title of that episode is “Passed Pawn”. As an old chess player, it is...

Westworld Musings

Caleb: Not Your Average Dog

Where Is Everybody?

Shat Crew: I really enjoyed your recent Deep Dive about the latest episode of Westworld, episode 4. In particular, I thought your conversation about how a twin or an exact copy of yourself may not act or react the same way as you was FASCINATING. Identity and self-awareness are thematic...

Westworld Dolores’s “Brain-Balls”

Hi, We witnessed in late Season 2 that Dolores cut out two distinct “brain-balls” from inside hosts heads. Her father’s while they were in the Mesa and Teddy’s after he shot himself in the head while they were on the run. So she definitely had those 2, whether she took...
