Even if some dramas are not updated, their legends have been circulating in the rivers and lakes.
Brain-burning, reversal, and sci-fi, it is destined to be the biggest hit when it comes out.
That's right, Westworld is back for season three.
This article contains spoilers.

The background of "Westworld" is the future era, and Dalos has developed an amusement project, the park.
Entering this paradise, you can simulate being in various eras. "Westworld" is the American West in the past. Visitors dress up in period costumes, experience the life of the times, and have a storyline that can be triggered.
Tourists go to Westworld for fun, and receptionists are like NPCs, they have the exact same appearance as humans, but are essentially androids created by humans.
The receptionist has always lived according to the program. As a tool for tourists to entertain and release their desires, they can also be resurrected after being killed.
But for some reason, the receptionist rioted, killing hundreds of company executives. Several receptionists awakened their consciousness, left Westworld, and arrived in the real human world.
Among them, Westworld's Dolores, the prostitute, and Bernard, a former employee who realized he was an android, are at the heart of the season.
The third season continues several timelines in parallel. The first is the Dolores line. After she came to the real world, she hid her identity activities and was always preparing for a big event.
First, find a senior programmer, control the intelligent system of his house, take away the information and money she needs, and finally get rid of the person.
He also seduced the young owner who was close to Insett Company. Their company has AI Rehobo, which penetrates almost all aspects of human beings. Dolores wants to control this system.
The other line is Bernard, who is also an android. As a felon who killed more than 100 high-level executives, he was wanted by Dalos. He lives in seclusion in the slaughterhouse, deliberately avoiding Dolores.
But it backfired. Someone found out that his identity was going to betray him, so he had to release another violent personality to kill the betrayer before running away and embarking on a journey back to Westworld.
The last line is the failed life of the new character Caleb. During the day, he is in charge of assembling optical cables, taking orders online at night, engaging in underground black production, and robbing banks for food, but he sticks to the bottom line and does not deal with human beings.
He is a person at the bottom, and he wants to treat his mother without money; if he wants to change jobs, his "points" are not enough, he fails to apply for the job, and is rejected by customer service.
But one night when taking a black order, he met Dolores, and the fate of the two began to converge.

The reason why "Westworld" burns the brain is inseparable from the director behind it, Jonathan Nolan.
If you think the name is unfamiliar, then his brother Christopher Nolan, everyone must have heard of it.
The two brothers work together, such as "Memento", "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Interstellar". Although Christopher Nolan directed it, Jonathan Nolan wrote the script behind it.
"Memory pieces"
In this way, it is normal to burn the brain and be difficult to understand, the traditional skills of the Nolan family.
However, from the first episode of the third season of "Westworld", the story line is much clearer, and the friendliness to the audience has improved. The increase in action scenes may be compromising the ratings.
The timeline isn't too difficult to understand right now if it doesn't play narrative tricks this season. But that's all, and a little disappointed.
After all, "Westworld" can be a god, a big reason is the outbreak of the last episode of the first season. The story line is clear, there is no inner taste, and the amazingness of the first season is lost.
At the same time, the sequential timeline design will inevitably change the character composition. At least the character Dr. Ford played by Anthony Hopkins probably lost his role.
Although one of the most charismatic characters is gone, the other main characters are still there. And there's a new character, Caleb, played by Aaron Paul.
Aaron Paul is a familiar face in American TV series, and his most famous role is Jesse, the "little fan" of "Breaking Bad". The Caleb he played in this play may have a lot of scenes with Dolores in the later stages of development.
Although the third season has only started, but according to the existing information, the receptionists who came to the real world are basically divided into two factions.
On the one hand is Bernard, who has a relatively gentle attitude towards human beings and a way of doing things. Only when forced to have a violent personality, crazy output, killing two whistleblowers.
On the other side is Dolores, because of her painful past, she is clearly incarnate as the goddess of nemesis, showing no mercy to humans and wanting to overthrow them.
The goal is to create a new species for androids, ride on top of humans and become new gods, it doesn't matter how many people are sacrificed in the middle.
The next general plot trend should be like the often-quoted Shakespeare quote, "These brutal joys will eventually end in brutality."

The concept of "Westworld" simulation park was mentioned in the movie "Westworld" in 1973, and the episode was partly born out of the movie.
Due to the limitations of the times, although the movie "Westworld" is creative, it is naturally inferior to the drama in terms of detail processing and future imagination.
The drama version of "Westworld" expands on the basic concept of "Westworld", but does not arrange the three worlds of the original film, the West, the Middle Ages, and Rome, and reconstructs the reasons for the receptionist's riot.
The first season is the awakening of the receptionist android; the second season completes the history, and the android begins to integrate into human society.
The third season begins again with the real human world, adding more discussions about technology and ethics.
In particular, the number of scenes related to China has obviously increased again. If you don't want to hack China, you want to be in the Chinese market.
The third season is not limited to the single environment of "Westworld", and begins to tell more about the existing human technology level in the play and expand the real world itself.
The human society in "Westworld" is a relatively "near" science fiction.
The most important setting is the powerful AI, Leihebo, which controls everything. It is as big as controlling the city in an orderly manner, and as small as the male protagonist relies on AI chat to overcome the pain of losing his comrade-in-arms.
At the same time, there is something called "scores" in this world. Everyone has scores and is pursuing them. Scores can quantify everything, and scores determine status.
Relying on the scores, the system chooses the "right" people to do the right things, and plans a route for everyone, seemingly "making the world a better place."
The setting of points to determine status, similar to the theory of genetic elimination and the innate decision of social class, is not new, and utopian works such as "Brave New World" are involved.
The AI Leihebo, which controls everything, is not new in science fiction works. "Alpha City", "Alpha 60", and "Terminator" Skynet are everywhere.
"Alpha City"
So it depends on how "Westworld" is going to unfold. So far, it's not amazing.
But it's too early to make a conclusion, after all, there are still few updates, and even the main character, the prostitute, has not officially appeared, only flashed her in "War World", which is another virtual world after "West World" and "Shogun World".
In addition to the story itself, "Westworld" has many points worth pondering, all kinds of thinking about the boundaries of philosophy, science, theology, and ethics.
It's impossible to end the third season of the show, because HBO plans to let it take over "Game of Thrones" and create its own series.
So, follow it slowly, my friends, there is still a lot of stories to tell, and we still have a lot of episodes to follow.
