Complaint About Your Caller

Hey from lockdown in New Zealand, I wrote in during True Detective Season 3 which made your pod at the time so happy days! For Westworld I was planning on waiting until the end of the season to write in, (as a kind of show/podcast review) but the “Unknown Caller”...

Transformation of Genre

Hi Shat, Throughout this season, we’ve watched Westworld transform from an intellectual mind-bending show packed full of philosophy and existential concepts to a full-on sci-fi tech fest. Some people like the concept, while others believe the showrunners should have remained faithful to the original format. I believe what we are...

Serac Is Jeremy Bentham With Agency

Hi Harry, Ron and Hermione, isn’t Serac espousing utilitarianism? In particular it could be described as muscular utilitarianism. Episode 5 rooted Serac’s justification for manipulation in his belief/delusion that he knows what is best for humanity wrapped in a narrative of a beneficial philosophy.

Caleb’s Flashbacks

Hello again, Just some notes about last night’s episode. Since the beginning of this season I have had a line that Bernard said in Season 2 Episode 10 swirling around in my head. While in the Forge looking for the “system” [aka Logan] Bernard and Dolores come across one of...

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...
