WW-S2E05 “Akane no Mai” In Westworld, Dolores questions what to do with Teddy. She concludes that he is a decent person but his decency makes him a liability and has him reprogrammed against his will. At the edge of the park, Maeve’s party is captured and escorted into a shogunate-themed park designed to be more extreme than Westworld called Shogunworld. They are taken to a nearby town where they meet Akane, a geisha who plays a similar role to Maeve. Akane is negotiating with a local shogun, but when she kills the shogun’s emissary, he retaliates by sending ninjas to kidnap her daughter Sakura and samurai to subjugate the town. During the attack, Maeve forces a ninja to kill himself without voicing a command. Maeve, Akane and Lee infiltrate the shogun’s camp to rescue Sakura and find the shogun is damaged and unstable. Akane kills the shogun after he kills Sakura and Maeve wordlessly forces his samurai to turn on one another. She, Akane and Lee regroup as the shogun’s army attack the camp.
Hey Roger, Big D and the Winter Soldier, Am a long time listener, first time writer, and English gent living in the tropical south of China, usually sweating my bollocks off walking to work when I listen to your majestic banter! Thanks for doing the podcast, always puts a smile...
Westworld Episode 5 Theories: “Akane no Mai” Where did the Man in Black actually start? Where did William end? Can techs adjust “woke” hosts’ settings?

Hey Guys, A little late but did anyone freeze frame on the scene where all the host where piled up and in the beginning of the episode. Did any one catch a glimpse of dead Teddy and Hector ? Irene Archuleta
Hey guys, I just finished listening your deep dive of episode 5 and I couldn’t help but agree with yours thoughts when you were complaining about the mindlessness of the top tv shows, or the mindlessness of most tv shows really. You talked about how there’s pretty much nothing else...
Hi Guys, Love the podcast! I You guys probably have a lot of emails to read through so I’ll get right to the point I want to share: Big D mentioned in the deep dive podcast that he didn’t understand why Maeve had the samurai’s kill each other at the...
Greetings all, I’ve recently started listening to your Westworld podcast, and I appreciate most of the time having a place to hear people talk about it. One thing that bothers me though is the way you talk about Dolores. I’ve noticed frequently that you’ll refer to Dolores as “playing the...
Hey hosts, This might be a little out there but I think it’s another way of thinking about something we’ve assumed as fact. The now flooded area that the man in Black refered to as his biggest mistake might not be the end result of a plan hatched by Dolores....
Shat Hosts, When you guys found it odd that Westworld, a mega bucks amusement park business, had just one writer, I think you over looked that Ford may have done that on purpose. Lee Sizemore is kind of bonehead character. Perfect staffing for someone who wants no one to know...
