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 Guys, I was re watching this week’s episode and Maeve’s mind control trick reminded me of Ford and his ability to control vast number of hosts with a word or the simple movement of a finger. Now that we know about the mesh network it would seem logical to...
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...
