Westworld Season 2 Episode 6 Review Phase Space
Summary
Picking up from where we left off last calendar week, "Stage Space" manages to somehow observe the time to catch upwardly with pretty much every major dangling plot thread. Maeve gets closer to her daughter, Dolores is on a runaway train never going back, Teddy is dastardly, MiB is chasing down the finish game, Bernard is piecing things together and Charlotte is trying to get something important out of the park. Phew. It's hectic.
In that location is a lot going on in this week's episode ofWestworld(titled Phase Infinite). Whereas previous weeks have just touched on two, maybe three storylines, by my reckoning "Phase Space" hits all of them. That means we get to check in with Dolores, Maeve, Teddy, MiB, Bernard, Charlotte and towards the cease of the episode another old favorite (more on that later).
I'll allow you into a little secret; behind the Sorcerer of Oz's curtain if y'all will. I have to watch an episode of this show twice. The offset time I go through and aimlessly scribble notes for anything that might be interesting (including highlights like "Hemsworth looks bearish this week"). I'll then go through and spotter information technology again without the compulsive notes to meet if anything stands out when I'm not focusing on the minutiae of information technology all. Why am I telling you this? Well, information technology'south to show that I really do pay attending, that I really like to think I have a handle on things fifty-fifty if I accept to Google the odd graphic symbol name. It's also to illustrate how confusing everything's getting. I'll level with you lot, I have no idea what's going to happen in the adjacent episode, let alone in the next flavor. I make the comparison every week but it really is my new Lost – utterly bewildering at times, but I think that makes me like it all the more.
The first scene in "Stage Space" seems massively important. We see Arnold/Bernard (Arnard?) and Dolores having ane of their usual chats. It looks familiar and unremarkable, but and so we become a switcheroo. Dolores stands upwardly and freezes his motor functions (not a euphemism), and she tells him a fidelity test. Does this mean that Bernard is not simply a host made to wait like Arnold but instead a host with a re-create of his consciousness – like we saw Jim Delos earlier in the season?
Maeve finally gets reunited with her girl this week. Subsequently slogging through Shogun Earth they're inexplicably back in Westworld. I have no thought how the geography of this park works. I wouldn't be shocked if they revealed at the end of information technology all that information technology'south congenital inside the Tesseract inside Jessica Chastain's bookcase in Interstellar.
I must say I was surprised that they actually found her daughter, as given the manner things have been going in the park I expected Maeve to observe a mutilated body or something. In the least surprising turn of events of all time, Maeve's daughter doesn't recognize her and has in fact been reprogrammed to have a new mum. As if this reunion couldn't feel any more awkward the guys from Ghost Nation show up. I'm not convinced that the Ghost Nation is a bunch of mindless savages, I think they know more than they're letting on and are probable to be an integral part in all of this. Oh and in the kerfuffle Lee (the British guy) uses his ill-gotten phone to call in back-up. I await him to be dead within iii episodes.
Charlotte is finally taking care of business organization back at the base. Well, the railway station where people enter and get out the park. She'southward got Abernathy all ready to ship out and has got fill-in in the form of a crude and ready looking security/mercenary team. There was a moment where Charlotte was debating how to immobilize Abernathy while they waited for extraction. I idea peradventure "lock him in a room" or at worst "lop a leg off". I was way off the mark. They secured him to a table with some sort of enormous blast/commodities gun, and in instance you're wondering this is where Hemsworth looked surly.
Dolores' plan seems to be taking shape and information technology seems similar in a calendar week or two at least Dolores, Charlotte and Bernard are going to collide. We run across the kickoff of that this week in "Phase Space" as Dolores finally launches that train she's been playing with at the Delos HQ (where Charlotte, Bernard, Elsie and grumpy Hemsworth currently are). Peradventure the more interesting/frustrating affair near Dolores this week is she at present looks distressing/upset whenever Teddy kills someone, despite her forcibly upping his hateful setting concluding calendar week. Y'all can't take it both ways I'1000 afraid. She also lost the merely way to really turn him back to his goofy, aww shucks self when they decided the leave the (very helpful and cooperative) lab tech on the train.
The MiB is getting to have a little daddy/girl time in what seems like an incredibly dysfunctional human relationship. It sounds as though he chose "life" in the park above pretty much annihilation else ("life without consequences"). She also reveals how she spent a lot of time in the park as a kid and so recounts how much fourth dimension she spent "riding" in the pleasure houses when she was erstwhile enough. When I was a child my dad used to take me bowling and I thought that was pretty good. In the least shocking moment of "Stage Infinite", despite agreeing to go out the park with her to repair their relationship, MiB instead just ditches her while she's sleeping. Archetype.
Finally, we've got Bernard and Elsie who are as well at the Delos HQ (it seems very hectic this calendar week). It seems there's some rogue lawmaking in the mainframe (or other such jargon) that is blocking any try to fix things. Guess what the solution is? Bernard volunteers to have a hole cut in his head to extract his listen brawl thingy and then he tin "go into" the Cradle (Westworld's information center). Inside the Cradle, everything looks like Westworld and we come across "who" the mysterious plan is that is maintaining the mischief in the park. Why information technology's Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) sat tinkling away on the piano. First of all, I chosen information technology at the starting time of the episode and secondly, I assume that this means it was Ford'southward consciousness that nosotros've been watching Bernard motility around in previous episodes.
There you become. A lot happened this week but I'm not quite certain what it all might mean. It certainly feels like all of our story threads are converging, but what they are converging on is anybody'southward guess.
