@system0fadowner251 6 лет назад

Why does nobody seem to realise the reason he didn't just open fire was because they were told a gunfight in the cradle would set the place aflame. The chemicals there are highly volatile so it makes sense why someone wouldn't just go in guns blazing. His thirst was stronger than his survival instinct tho I agree.

@LordSluggo 6 лет назад

Sanity Is Radical “Robots are murdering everyone. Therefore, I will flirt with one of these murderous robots” is basically the internal monologue that was going on in this scene

@system0fadowner251 6 лет назад

Ian Jurica lol,he wasn't flirting. He was a meathead horn dog thinking he had a toy to play with since she dropped her weapon and was standing in a pool of her own blood. Not a perfect scene, but my point was only on why he didn't shoot her.

@LordSluggo 6 лет назад

Sanity Is Radical Semantics. That man was probably in a life-or-death shootout with murderous robots not even an hour before that scene, and then thought he was going to stick his penis in one of those same robots. It makes zero sense.

@system0fadowner251 6 лет назад

Ian Jurica I agree it's an old trope, but like I said, my point was just over why it made sense for him not to open fire in the Cradle.

@znout65 6 лет назад

This whole season has felt too "mystery boxish" to me. I remember being able to watch the first season episodes over and over because cool things happened every episode while telling a story about interesting characters. Now it feels like I'm just waiting for characters to tell me what the big secret is while they spout philosophy in dark rooms.

So fucking true. First season was so good but it seems like they drank their own kool-aid and went too hard on the drawn out mystery shit.

Maev controls hosts by putting voices in their head. Hosts that are conscious can tell the difference between Maev's voice and their thoughts, hence it not working. She gives choice to hosts that are conscious and are capable of making their own decisions.

When Dolores opens her father's head, it kind of reminded me the birth of Pallas Athena in Greek mythology. In that case, Zeus has a crazy headache like Abernathy and desperately needs to extract what's causing his pain. Dolores is not Athena, but her mission is similar as she becomes a sort of War Godess.

@boring-username 6 лет назад

It's truly disappointing that I've had to resort to RU-vid summaries to understand the show. I loved S01, but this season is just too far over most of the audience's head to take away anything substantial. It's like when you wake up and have so many dreams you're not sure which ones were separated from each other, or simply part of the same dream.

@philrobichaud3063 6 лет назад

This was one of the best episodes yet! I wish that there would be a way to watch the entire season (after it's finished) in chronological order. Like in the movie "Memento" (ironically by Christopher Nolan) where on the DVD release you can chose to watch the film in chronological order instead of the mixed up/reversed order of the theatrical release. I love movies/tv shows that don't have a direct timeline, but for this season of Westworld, a rewatch in order would be fun to really grasp what happens when.

@kw9849 6 лет назад

I'm confused as to why Lawrence, Clementine and the other hosts who get shot in episode 7 are being treated as if they're "dead". Sure, the loss of the cradle makes them "mortal", but none of them are shown being shot in the head, and Dolores has resurrected numerous other hosts at this point. It's a bit confusing in terms what the rules for host death are now.

@TimoGraw 6 лет назад

Agreed. Even Peter Abanathy's control unit still is intact. It should be trivial to boot him up in another body, right?

@sjb_92 6 лет назад

I don't think so, Clementine's last stand scene was clearly it for her. Same goes for Peter Abernathy and his tearful goodbye. Dolores res'd hosts with a tec that she left on a train to die and while you could say 'there's surely more of those guys' I don't think they're planning on bringing back any of them.

@akrybion 6 лет назад

K W Or why Sakura's death was supposed to be a big deal. Just reboot her. As we know the hosts don't even lose memory, so it's not like "she won't be the same".

@azizth5893 6 лет назад

Stephen Bonning clementine will return in the coming episodes

@kw9849 6 лет назад

P K Sakura's death being final was related to Akane's decision to not be "awoken". Maeve respects her choice, and part of that is not tampering with her life, which includes Sakura. Maeve may also see Sakura's death as a necessary part of Akane's path to consciousness (mirroring her own). It's also unclear if Maeve can resurrect hosts. Given the scope of her powers, I would assume she can, but we haven't seen her do it yet.

@thehumanity0 6 лет назад

I've also been saying that what Maeve did to Lawrence was bullshit. She only "awakens" him and makes him see a few of the worst memories with William as a way to manipulate him into killing William. She doesn't make Lawrence see the time that he betrayed William when he was younger and left him for dead with the Confederatos. At that time in his life, he didn't have a wife in his loop kind of proving his wife was just a part of "the game" in the first place, but William even saved his wife this time, and this time around when the hosts have broken out of their loops is arguably the most important because now there's no coming back from death.

@kevinw712 6 лет назад

Yeah frankly it was stunning how inept and stupid those mercenary, private security-types seemed. Hosts constantly gun one after another of them down with one simple shot whenever openly facing off, and that dude who was in the Cradle, seriously you need to be fucking braindead not to realize she was playing him in that moment to blow the shit up. Surely not quite who I'd envisioned as coming to save them lol

@scofield1154 6 лет назад

Kevin W Do you seriously think Angela doesn't have explosives ? I seriously doubt hosts are that dumb not to bring explosives if they want to destroy the cradle. I'm sure this will get further explained, otherwise its bullshit , storywise, but we get to see Angela, which is cool.

@danpearman270 6 лет назад

The problem with the EMP idea is that it assumes Delos is more concerned with human lives than with the electronic data that is the thing they have made absolutely clear is their only priority. Until every scrap of that data has been recovered and extracted from the park, EMP is not an option they would ever consider. Especially if all it would gain for them is saving a few human lives, which it has been made clear they don't value highly.

"Many Bernards make light work" LOL Your channel is my favorite for sorting out this show, which I love but struggle to get straight. I watched episode 7 three times before coming here to really sort all the events in my head in a simpler way. Maybe someday when the show is finished, someone will release a recut in chronological order! I guess we can thank Tarantino and Chris Nolan (and apparently his brother!) for this disjointed and intelligent/intellectual style of storytelling. I'm smart, but FUCK this show makes me feel dumb sometimes!

I thought this was the best episode of Westworld this season hands down, it even vying for the best episode of Westworld ever. I don't think I've ever had so many breath-holding moments over any episode of any show ever!! I do wish they hadn't teased the Bernard reveal, even though we knew. It would have had more impact. I can't really complain about much else. I can't even imagine what will happen in the last three episodes. Again, thank you, good work, as always.

@xiDaban78 6 лет назад

There is something really itching me and it's the fact the Charlotte is the feminine version of the name Charlie who is Bernard's dead son. She is also African-American and to be super suspicious here i think that the shade of her skin is the exact same as Charlie's when we see him. She could also be the right age at the present WW timeline. Could it be that Ford actually programmed Bernard to remember a son and not a daughter, and that Charlotte didn't actually die from her illness?? I mean we have learned there are no coincidences in this show and there are too many coincidences here...

It's not like their feeling are coded in to make them more human... nooo... it has a magical effect on their minds that breaks the evil, evil code...
