Westworld And The Zeitgeist

Good morning, I love the podcasts, thank you all for all you do! I was Watching Westworld and it reminded me of a story I started writing back in 2011 about a supercomputer (Zion) that collected yottabytes of information from every person on the planet, started making predictions, became a...

Dolori Question

Hi there, I’m new to the podcast and enjoying it. I have a question about Delores and Charlores. The Charlores host who left Westworld for the mainland at the end of Season Two contained the Dolores pearl that’s been in Dolores’ head since Season One. So how are they explaining...

Westworld Episode 5 Instant Take: “Genre”

Your hosts are all back on the “Westworld” train! Choo-choo! Gene stops complaining. Ash heaps on the praise, and Big D wants to know where he can get some Genre. Season 3, Episode 5, fleshed out the mesmerizing Serac, reminded us of the talent in Evan Rachel Wood and Aaron Paul, blasted a kickass soundtrack, and closed the book on the season’s first movement. Mysteries were solved. Things were blown up, heads were smashed, gun sights went unused, and we learned a whole lot more about Caleb.

Westworld Ep 5

What if… Little Nathan Hale became Francis (name change for protection ??) and in some weird Face Off military surgery / reprogramming he became Caleb. What if new Charlotte does something in order to protect him by leaving him when he’s 8 (he seems like the same age as tiny...

Are Seasons 1 And 2 Irrelevant?

Hi all, first time writing, and I won’t be long. Episode 5 was very entertaining, but it didn’t feel like Westworld at all. Not only the characters or the directing style, but the plot just killed season one and two for me. Dolores left season two with the promise to...

The Felix Of It All

Hiya! Tried to leave a voicemail, failed miserably so here is a quick food for thought and a question… I’ve found myself thinking last night about Felix. You know that guy who worked as a Butcher at Delos and stupidly some would say walked Maeve around as her entire head...

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. While the Benthamite philosophy can be...

Who’s Number Six? And Charlotte’s Plan

Hello to ShatWorld and hope everyone’s fine. Since the end of season two, we’ve been wasting time on the identity of the pearls when the only important question was “how many?”. Five in the bag and one in Charlotte’s head. Meaning 6 hosts could be built. So far we seen...
