Westworld Episode 7 “Les Ecorches” Thoughts

Hi, Entering Analysis Mode. Another name for the Valley Beyond would be the Undiscovered Country. When Logan stated that ‘we aren’t here yet’, he was right. Ford and Arnold hadn’t made true A.I. But they did discover how to seed their hosts with the beginnings of awareness. Like Bernard is...

Reflections on WW

Hey Guys, First Shat On TV is very nicely done. How four of you manage, in some combination, to present such well-considered commentary three times a week, plus actually listening to voicemails and reading posts and emails is remarkable to me. So thank you for your efforts. I try not...

Hale And Ford

Hey Guys, Love the podcast. I’m wondering what (if anything) you make of the similarity in what Ford tells Bernard before he enters Bernard’s body–“you just don’t have it in you to survive”–and what Charlotte says to Bernard in the Mesa after he wakes up on the beach, something like...

Westworld Thoughts

Hello, I love your guys’ podcast and look forward to analyses of the show. One thing that has been mentioned but not really dove into is the level of “wokeness”/consciousness between Maeve and Dolores. In my opinion, on episode 203, it was very much in our face that Dolores is...
