S304
In the end, the 5 globes were all Demei herself... Okay, wouldn't it be more convenient for her to make 5,000 revolutions? Just like Alice in Resident Evil has an army of clones. The question now is, is there a gap in ability between these copied German sisters and the main body? If the replicants are also independent individuals and have different minds at that time, how will Demei control them?
Guess from the last episode, is Maeve in Rehobo's sim world? There is still no conclusion. Demei copied 5 of her own balls. It is reasonable to say that these 5 balls should be used to replace important characters in the human world, such as Hale, to break into the enemy, instead of copying a HOST in the world of Japanese samurai. body of. But if Maeve was in the sim world, it would make sense for her to see the samurai, because that's someone she knew.
S3E03
The third episode has more information than the first two episodes, and the rhythm has begun to tighten. There is hope for this drama!
After the third episode came out, the most discussed question is who is Hale? When I saw this scene in the trailer for episode 2, I thought Hale had Teddy inside.
But after watching the third episode, this conjecture was basically denied. Hale's performance doesn't look like Teddy at all, not to mention Demei sent Teddy to Elysium at the end of the second season. She already knew that Teddy couldn't be a great person, too kind.
Now there are several guesses about Hale's identity, let's analyze them one by one.
Conjecture 1: It's Angela
The reason is: Angela has always been "Wyatt"'s little follower, and has always been Demei's right-hand man in the second season. In the 5 balls that Demei brought out of the garden, there should be her.
But Angela's character is very strong, and she doesn't do things in a sloppy way. And Hale's personality seems cowardly, it doesn't look like it. Angela is more like in this old man's body than Hale
Conjecture 2: It's Clementine
Clementine was also Demei's subordinate in the second season, and she followed Demei everywhere with Angela. In addition, she was finally caught by Hale, modified the code, and had some of Maeve's abilities.
The problem with Clementine is that in the first place she's not that big of a role. If Hale's character was her, the screenwriter wouldn't have to deal with such a big suspense. Secondly, the relationship between Demei and Clementine is not so close, so they will not say such ambiguous lines:
If it is Maeve, then Clementine is more likely. But Demei won't.
Conjecture 3 is the William HOST version
This possibility is even lower. First of all, the human mind + HOST body has been proven to be incompatible, and it will collapse in a few days in the real world. Delos has been working on this kind of experiment without success so far, and it is definitely impossible for Delos to solve this problem in three or two days. So the control unit in Hale's head is definitely not human, but HOST. Besides, Demei hates William very much now, and she doesn't trust him at all.
Guess 4 is a German girl
This conjecture is interesting. Some people speculate that this German sister is the first generation of German sister. Because the first generation of Demei is indeed a kind and confused little white rabbit, which is in line with Hale's behavior when he wakes up. Secondly, it makes sense for Demei and Demei to trust and depend on each other. And Demei's words: You belong to me. It makes more sense to look like you belong to yourself.
From a suspenseful point of view, Hale's stalk as Demei herself is much more interesting than someone else's, and it's worth playing.
However, this conjecture also has a bug. The first generation of German sisters did not know what happened after the massacre. However, as soon as the fake Hale woke up and saw the mirror, he immediately recognized Hale.
Not only that, but she also recognized Bernard's ball and knew that Bernard was trying to stop Demei.
You must know that Bernard stopped Demei, in fact, only Demei, Bernard, and Hale (dead) knew about it. Barely count the security Stubbs. The first generation of Demei did not have this memory.
So, this control unit is the current Demei copying herself? This is also a problem. If it is completely self-replicating, she will not be so confused and helpless. She should be as decisive as Demei's body. In addition, if Demei can copy herself at will, then she can actually expand easily in terms of the disadvantage of racial numbers, and a clone army can make up for the shortage of numbers. She shouldn't have made only one Hale, she should have made countless herself and stuffed them into different human bodies.
Why didn't she do it? Why did she bring out other HOST control units? No one else is as trustworthy as herself.
Guess 5 is Maeve
Finally, let me talk about this conjecture. In the second episode we already saw Maeve break out of virtual reality to meet Serak in the real world. So Maeve's control unit should be in Serak's hands.
But did Maeve in episode 2 really come to the real world? Is that Serak really human?
I doubt it. In the third episode, we saw that Serak was described as a "black hole", and there was no trace of existence in reality.
This person had a data deal with Delos 20 years ago. Note that 20 years ago, Hale was a child, and Serak should have been very young (if human). So who is selling his data?
And, when Hale goes to meet Serak, all he sees is a virtual vision.
Of course, if Serak was in control of Rehobo, it would be easy to erase all of his information.
The question is, is it possible for an artificial intelligence as powerful as Rehobo to be controlled by a human?
Except for the founder of Leihebo, I am afraid that no one has this ability. But the creator is dead, so who can control it but itself?
Therefore, this Serak is likely to be Rehobo himself. Just like Logan in Forge, it's nothing more than an image of a human spokesperson created by AI for itself.
Then, if Serak is Rehobo, Maeve who met him is not in the real world, she still exists in the virtual world created by Rehobo.
It is known from episode 3 that Serak has been stealing data from Delos for more than 20 years, but the data is incomplete, so Serak asks Hale to keep working on it.
In the second episode, the Westworld where Maeve is located was constructed by Lei Hebo based on the data of the Westworld that he has obtained. There are not only Maeve, but also Hector, the screenwriter, the Asian brother and other characters. He built this fake Westworld in order to find Maeve's words and find the coordinates of the data sent by Demei.
But these characters are so superficially constructed that Maeve sees through them all at once, and breaks the virtual world in one fell swoop with her abilities.
To tell the truth, this virtual world is also too fragile, because the data is incomplete and the construction is rough. Maeve then took control of the real-world robot, taking her own control unit, but the robot was quickly overpowered.
When Maeve wakes up again, is the world she lives in still real? It looks plausible because the world is a mirror image of Rehobo's reconstruction of the real world. The real-world data held by Rehobo is much more refined. Moreover, Maeve had already come out of the virtual world once, and it was easy to believe that she was now in the real world.
But it may still be a virtual world. I have to say, if Serak is really AI, this set is deep enough.
Alright, does Incite know about Maeve's control unit? She must know. Because Demei knows Maeve's abilities, if such a dangerous AI cannot become an ally, she must be eliminated. And Demei has this opportunity to take Maeve before leaving Westworld. She didn't take Maeve's control unit, the only possibility is that she had already taken it when she wanted to.
Then she would know that Maeve was already in Serak's hands and was going to deal with her.
So what is she going to do?
Although there is no Maeve's control unit, Demei has all the data in Westworld, including HOST's code and memory. So, even if she doesn't have Maeve's control unit, she can completely copy Maeve's source code and put it into the HOST body, for example, Hale.
If it was Maeve, it could explain why she was so protective of her children. It can also explain why she is so confused. After all, Maeve was very confused before she was fully awakened, because her story line was complicated, and after changing her identities, she was a prostitute for a while and a mother for a while, so she didn't know who she was.
===================================================== =======================
These days, there are really very few dramas worth watching like this. Westworld is one, along with Game of Thrones.
It's a pity that the final season of "Game of Thrones" has been unfinished, and it has hit my glass heart hard, and I am very worried that "Westworld" will suffer the same bad luck. In fact, the innate conditions of "Westworld" are far less good than "Game of Thrones". The script without the support of the original has exposed too many problems since the second season. In addition, the filming progress of this show is slow, and I am very worried about the next trend. .
After watching the first episode of the three seasons, this worry intensified. After watching the second episode, um, it seems that there is still help?
If the first season of "Westworld" was a masterpiece, it fell into the void of formalism and mysteries from the beginning of the second season. Every shot and every line in the first season is beautiful and contains a huge amount of information. When we look back repeatedly, we will always be amazed that the foreshadowing laid by the director and screenwriter is so subtle and seamless. In the second season, although the shots and lines are still beautiful, they are only superficial, and many times they even feel procrastinated and want to fast-forward.
By the first episode of season 3, I almost fell asleep! I don't know how many people are like me, and they barely finished the first episode after watching it several times?
Xiaofan's story line is very sloppy and procrastinated, cloudy and foggy. Who is he? What identity? Why do I keep hanging up with the same person? Who is the person who has been whispering in his ear? What's the matter with that black guy? ?
Those questions were barely answered by the end of the first episode, but sloppy. Some might say this is creating suspense.
But the problem is that introducing a brand new character into a play that already has many inherently popular characters requires a lot of effort to create character highlights to attract everyone's attention in order to generate strong interest from the audience. For example, the character introduced in the second season, Amilie, the daughter of the man in black, plays a more important role.
The actor himself has a good image and temperament. He gave a hot welfare bed scene at the beginning, and then escaped from the Indian park alone and entered the Western World to be captured by the Indians. This is a typical method of "successfully attracting your attention". People have the idea of "This woman is very beautiful and powerful" and "I really want to know who she is". In the end, she met the man in black and shouted "Dad", revealing the mystery of her identity.
On the other hand, Xiaofen, compared to the fresh meat fans in "Breaking Bad", is already fat and greasy here, and she is still frowning all day, and she doesn't know why she is depressed. The plot has not been ups and downs, it is nothing more than a mid-life crisis and can't find a job. The background of the character is explained in a hurry. From the psychiatrist, he vaguely knows his former military status, and he also died of a brother, and he has PTSD since then. With such a simple character background, does it need to be so mysterious? As a viewer, I was not at all interested in this unassuming man. It wasn't until Xiaofan met Demei that this line became clear: his role was to save the injured Demei. Oh, and even hugging the fallen heroine was the same as William in the first season. It's a pity that Xiaofan is not as handsome as William. I don't want to see their emotional drama, but the interaction between the two can still be expected.
Bernard's storyline, again tedious due to the lack of information.
In the second season, Bernard was in a sleepwalking state for the whole season, his face was stunned, and he walked from here to there, not knowing what he was going to do, looking like a philosopher who was simply thinking about who I am. This season, Demei took him out of the paradise, and then let him go wandering again, making him a wanted criminal by the way. So Bernard started wandering aimlessly again. His fine points model is also very worthy of complaining, co-authoring bad and dirty things to let the cold-blooded Bernard do it, keeping the white lotus setting by himself?
Bernard's ultimate goal is to "stop the German girl from destroying the world". But he went back to Westworld after a lot of hard work, nothing more than stealing a panel to do a comprehensive analysis, and by the way, he got a sidekick Stubbs. This episode finally solved the unsolved case of the security man being the Host.
It can be predicted that Bernard is only a functional role in this season, that is, in the process of Demei's overthrow of human tyranny, when appropriate, to prevent her from hanging up too much, creating a little trouble and obstacle for her.
In the second season, Bernard also played this role, sleepwalking for a season, and finally shot and killed Demei, and then regretted saving her, which was actually equivalent to doing nothing. The value of his existence only proves the fact that Arnold and Ford are true love. But in fact, we already knew this fact when Bernard's identity was revealed in the first season. Therefore, the screenwriter forced Bernard into 10 episodes, and now he will continue to force it in the third season.
After talking about these slots, let's talk about the things that people look forward to in the third season.
Aspect 1: Demei
In the first season, Demei has a perfect character arc. In the beginning, she was a beautiful and kind little white rabbit. Her parents were killed by human tourists every day, and she was brutally bullied. Her beauty and weakness and helplessness aroused huge sympathy and love from the audience. Then she naturally went to the road of resistance and self-discovery. She changed into a dress and uniform, and gradually became strong and decisive. After suffering all the hardships, the moment when she raised the gun to slaughter the powerful, the audience would be elated and applauded: this cruelty 's joy will end in cruelty!
However, in the second season, Demei wore a stinky face of "I know everything" all day, her clothes were disheveled, and she started to kill. Seeing her riding a horse and shooting human tourists indiscriminately, the audience relationship accumulated in the first season was quickly lost. As the soul character of the show, Demei's role shrank in the second season, and her charm value was also greatly reduced, which directly affected the look and feel of the second season.
Fortunately, by the third season, our German sister started to look radiant again. After walking out of Westworld, Demei opened the door to the new world, and the first thing she did was to change her clothes!
This is what made the Deer Queen the happiest in the third season, and she can finally say goodbye to that ripped skirt that she wore for two seasons! The main creator also seems to realize that the first two seasons have treated the heroine's appearance and figure too badly. In the first episode of the third season, she changed N looks, from sexy evening dresses to heroic night motorcycle clothes, and even performing. A spectacle of one-click dressing.
What's interesting is that she also started killing with a stinky face of "who can stop me". The picture of Demei slaying humans in this season is not only not offensive, but has a superhero vision. feel. In addition to her gorgeous appearance, her methods of killing people have also become more artistic. The methods of killing humans are different several times, and they are full of tricks.
What's more, before killing them, it has prepared the groundwork and justified the killing: one is a scumbag who abuses his wife, and the other is an executioner who tries to kill Demei. In this case, De If the sister uses the method of "returning the same way to the other body" to destroy them, it will make people feel very cool. At the end of the first episode, Demei was besieged by many people and broke out in a bloody way, and finally fell into the arms of the male protagonist. I really see you pity.
Aspect 2: Maeve, and the interaction of the two heroines
Demei is driving a terrifyingly big hang, winning with Shuangwen routines. The one who can really stop her and have the ability to challenge her is not Bernard, but Maeve.
In terms of birth, Demei's father is Arnold and Maeve's father is Ford. A pair of beautiful receptionist CPs created by a pair of human scientists CP, this is very touching no matter how you look at it, and they are the right match.
In terms of ability, Demei can easily invade all computer systems, and is assisted by the fate judgment of the upper class of mankind, and master first-hand resources and information. In the era of big data, this kind of resources is almost invincible. Demei also has a charming and sexy appearance, seducing important people at any time. In addition, she has a number of 3D printers, which can be copied at any time to expand the strength of the receptionist.
Maeve is not weak here, and her ability to hack a computer is comparable to that of Demei. Although she had never entered the illusory world to peek at the judgment, the golden finger that Ford gave her was too big, crushing Einstein's IQ every minute, so that she could see through the tricks of human beings at any time. Maeve, who also has the same sexy and charming appearance, started as a prostitute, and both men and women take it all, and her seduction ability will only be stronger. In the second episode, we saw how Maeve countered the system in virtual reality, and it was really cool.
It's a really well-matched couple! If you don't love each other and kill each other well, I'm sorry for such a setting.
The only question is: why does Maeve stop Demei? Because she is more human than Demei? Because of her "daughter"?
At the moment I don't see the rationale for Maeve against Demei. In fact, Maeve's behavioral logic in the second season is also very questionable. It is a bit far-fetched to just use such a crude reason as "finding a daughter" to support her behavior for a whole season. Worst of all, after she found her daughter, she found out that her daughter belonged to someone else, didn't she feel that everything was empty? After all the hardships and difficulties, he ran to his daughter, and only gave a hug, and then seemed to forget all his superpowers and died calmly. Compared with Demei's grand ideal of overthrowing human tyranny, Maeve's pattern seems to be very small, and everything she experienced in the second season has become meaningless.
This problem persisted in the third season. Maeve has the ability to rule the country and the world, but there is no real Conner Stone to stand on in spirit. If the writers don't address this, she'll look hollow no matter how big she hangs up.
Aspect 3: Super artificial intelligence Rehoboam
This season introduces a bigger worldview. Incite seems to be better than Delos because they have super artificial intelligence Rehoboam.
This guy searches for unusual fluctuations around the world, like The Machine and Samaritan from POI
After all, the story of POI also comes from Jonathan Nolan. The hasty ending of POI's drama has always been a pity for fans. It is a compensation to be able to revive in "Westworld" in this form and to continue Nolan's thinking about artificial intelligence ruling the world. In fact, the duel between the two super artificial intelligences in POI is not inferior to Xiao Gen CP, Li Si and Zhai Zong's sugar!
But in "Westworld", it looks like Rehoboam is dominating the world? Or can the furnace also compete with one? Or is the whole world actually not real, just a simulation of Rehoboam? How will Demei deal with this super big brother? Very worth looking forward to.
