Your Instant Takes Were Too Kind

August 15, 2022

Hey, y’all (to borrow a line),

I’ll keep it brief as you all hit nearly every major point in describing how utterly worthless the Westworld season four finale was. I’ll simply say I agree with your negative assessments of the key pointsI actually said out loud to my wife afterward that Hale must have had one seriously lame-ass flying craft if it took as long to get to the Hoover dam as stupid William did on fucking horsebackand will add a few notes that weren’t discussed in the Instant Take.

First, if sentient life was going to be extinct on earth in the “coming months or years” as the WAY LAME voiceover stated, what the fuck is up with people in the rest of the world? Not only that, but what about all the animals?! Humans & hosts going extinct isn’t the end of sentience on planet earththese showrunners really tell on themselves with such ego-centric myopathy in storytelling.

Speaking of that voiceover, hoo-boy, what pretentious self-indulgence on Nolan & Joys part. Pseudo-intellectual half-baked pop philosophy predicated on such a limited view of the entire planet really chapped my ass. Gorgeous music and beautiful photography of Evan Rachel Wood posing as she contemplates high school level existentialism while her character spews nonsensical claptrap belongs in a 90s music video for some bullshit emo eurotrash band. Thats the resolution for a season & a series thats been largely thought-provoking and reasonably smart?

Absolute garBAGE.

If the new HBO/Discovery conglomerate pulls the plug after this dry fart of an ending, itll be exactly what the series deserves after failing so utterly to deliver on great promise. Pee-yew.

Keep being excellent, everyonelooking forward to the rest of your review.
