Westworld Episode 2 Review: "The Winter Line"

Westworld Episode 2 Review: “The Winter Line”

Shat on TV’s coverage of Westworld Season 3, Episode 2: “The Winter Line” starts off intelligently with discussions of free will vs sentience, the nuance between hero and villain, and Ash’s brilliant overview of Louis Althusser’s views of subjection and the state.
