Westworld Maeve’s Death
Hi, Just realized, I feel like there was little to no talk of Maeve’s death from 2 episodes ago. I feel like that deserves something – do we think she’s gone for good? Is she going to come back on Dolores’ control? -Micheal

Fool’s Mate
Hi, First, have a palindrome: “Serac cares.” No heavy theorizing, just a short story recommendation which seems to echo elements of Serac’s dilemma. “Fool’s Mate,” by Robert Sheckley, written in 1953. “The players met, on the great, timeless board of space. The glittering dots that were the pieces swam in...
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?

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...
