WESTWORLD SEASON 1 ROTTEN TOMATOES SERIES
"Chestnut" was written by series co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, based on the premise of the 1973 film of the same name by Michael Crichton. Ford takes Bernard into the park to show him a Christian shrine he found earlier that will serve as the basis for this narrative. Ford vetoes it as cheap thrills, and instead asserts they will continue a new narrative with a deeper meaning. Storyline writer Lee wants to introduce a new narrative involving a Native American conflict, but Dr. Bernard and Theresa continue to engage in a romantic relationship to an unclear end. Technicians Felix and Sylvester prepare to work on her but she wakes on her own and escapes, catching sight of what the staff does to hosts at Operations before Felix and Sylvester capture and sedate her.Įlsie expresses concern to Bernard that putting Dolores back in the park may have been the wrong decision, but Bernard asserts the host is showing no abnormal behavior. The staff sees this response as a malfunction and bring Maeve in for repairs. Later, Maeve is witness to a drunken guest killing Teddy, which triggers her own flashback to the Man in Black chasing her and her daughter. After Dolores leaves, Maeve's performance with the guests declines, which is noticed by the park staff, and Elsie suggests increasing her intuition to compensate. She talks to Maeve, a prostitute host, and repeats what she remembers Peter told her, which triggers Maeve to have similar visions, these of having a young daughter. The Man leaves with Lawrence as his prisoner.ĭolores returns to Sweetwater and has visions of Hector's massacre from the day before, though no other townsperson seems aware of it. The Man kills them all then Lawrence's wife, and prepares to kill his daughter when she starts to speak with a new voice, providing a clue about a snake in a riverbed. When the Man demands he answer his questions about the maze, the villagers gather around them. The Man in Black, following the maze on the scalp, arrives in time to prevent the outlaw Lawrence from being hanged. Dolores returns to her farm to dig up a hidden pistol. The next morning, William helps return a dropped tin of food to Dolores and leaves with a tip of the hat. William remains reluctant given his recent engagement. My guess is the Board of Directors rep who Ford says has already been sent to the park is the loathsome Logan (he earlier commented about his company increasing its investment in the park), though in our Sirius XM Westworld radio show chat this week, embedded below, my co-host Jeff Jensen offers a different intriguing theory.Logan brings his friend William to Westworld, and encourages him to take in the more carnal delights of the park. Last week I speculated that in addition to the obvious potential culprit (Bernard) maybe its Cullen or Lee Sizemore (who’s been absent the past two episodes), who are both at odds with Ford and perhaps want to cause a park disaster to remove him from power.

Even if all this is true, however, what’s still unclear is who is waking up the hosts on their own (assuming the MiB scenes are not some kind of flashback prequel to everything else we’re seeing).
WESTWORLD SEASON 1 ROTTEN TOMATOES FREE
After 30 years of coming to the park, the MiB wants to play Westworld on Hard Mode, where the hosts can shoot back for real - thus his comments about setting the hosts free and how this time he’s never going to leave the park. It was likely put into place by Arnold before he died and may have even caused his death. (Note: I haven’t seen any episodes beyond this one, so this is pure speculation based on what’s aired.) The Maze is some way to unlock the hosts and set them free so they can operate unrestricted. So skip the rest of this paragraph if you don’t want to potentially feel spoiled. Okay, so I think we’re at a point where we’ve been given so many hints about the MiB and The Maze and the Board that we should try to assemble them into some kind of working theory about what’s going on.
