Westworld Episode 5 Review: “Zhuangzi”

Westworld used Season 4, Episode 5 to flesh out the notion of “outliers” and introduce us to hosts “transcending.” Viewers learned the extent of Charlores’ control and the nature of Christina’s role as The Storyteller. “Zhuangzi” brought us questionable action scenes, uncomfortable choreography and the knowledge that, even in Charlores’...

Caleb’sImplant

Hey guys! You guys mentioned that Caleb’s implant wasn’t unique and more than likely something many people of his day had installed (is that the right term?) But at the beginning of ep 4 we see Maeve access it via her abilities to help him when he was near death....

MIB printed Teddy

Hi team I’ve got it! I don’t check theories on reddit/other forums (fora??) so I’m hoping I’m the first to come to this conclusion. We’ve just seen Host MIB start to question his reality, with the provocative help of Human MIB. So I think Host MIB now realises he needs...

Ed Harris Nailed It

Hey Shat crew, Logan from Canada here. Fresh off the Instacast, I gotta agree with your criticisms of the action in this show. It really is just eye-rolling-ly bad at times. But anyways, enough of that. I choose to see the beauty in this world. The highlight of this episode...

Our Instacast...

Don’t Assume New York City is the actual NYC

Hello, Don’t assume that Charlores’ New York City is the actual NYC. I don’t think the writers would be so lazy to juxtapose the desert scenes with the US East coast. Was Sweetwater Westworld in the American southwest? No, it was on an island near China. Why was MIB buying...

Where AI’s Get to Have a Rumspringa

Hey Hosts, We finally get a peak behind the curtain as to what the AI’s are up to, but everything here feels somehow samey and also antithetical at the same time. AI won, big success! But it’s been 23 years. The best Charlores the Great could come up with is...

Blade Runner Parallels in Westworld

Hi folks — Not sure if you’ve noted this before, but there is a growing overlap or parallel between what’s going on in Westworld and Blade Runner. At the very least, some of the language referring to non-human entities seems to be very similar if not identical. Christina’s overbearing boss...
