Shakespeare Maeve
In this episode, Maeve, the bustard, occupied one-third of the time herself, and she used such a large space to express her, which is enough to see the important position of this second "fire passer" in the story of Westworld.
In the first few episodes of the episode, Dolores wakes up from the bed multiple times. At the beginning of the episode, we see Maeve waking up. Like Dolores, she opened her eyes in bed with the sun, then opened her closet to change her clothes, and finally walked into Sweetwater. But it is worth pondering that Dolores sleeps in white, and Maeve sleeps in black. We have already seen Dolores's marvelous marksmanship and superb lying skills. At the end of this episode, Maeve completely changed her attributes and became a "Superman" with almost no flaws. If this black and white duo meet and join hands, it will definitely set off a killing frenzy, and in terms of the development of the plot, it seems that it is only a matter of time.
In the repair workshop, the repairman mentioned a very important clue, that is, the brain processing mechanism of the artificial human is far more advanced than the human brain, which implies that in the future plot, the awakened artificial people will definitely It will cause huge damage to human beings, and this kind of disaster will probably spread beyond the Westworld. The only way for humans to control this artificial man is to rely on computer programs, which is like dragging a truck forward with a piano wire, which is in danger of breaking at any time. Although Maeve told us that the piano wire is still strong so far, it is very pessimistic about what will happen in the future. Because we have already seen how Maeve coerced and lured two restorers to change his attributes for himself, this kind of practice similar to Sun Wukong's self-altering life and death book in "Journey to the West" undoubtedly indicates that the human control method is about to fail, not to mention here Behind, there is an invisible force that is constantly strengthening Maeve's power. The superman born in this hell is a god to androids, but an absolute demon to humans.
Regarding Maeve's coercion and inducement to repair the little brother, some people will ask whether it is enough for the little brother to shut down Maeve and report it. The director's answer to this question is to wait and watch the eighth episode. Although I don't know what medicine the director sells in the gourd, in my opinion, even if the little brother has this ability, he will not turn off Maeve, because as a bottom-level employee, the little brother has always been in a kind of oppression. It can also be seen from the story of the little brother stealing the bird in the last episode that he is not a person who is willing to be calm. Sexual mutation can make him really excited, so it is not so much that he is forced to be helpless, it is better to cooperate actively. Maybe in the future turmoil, the little brother will become Maeve's right-hand man.
Bernard
In this episode, the most tragic person is none other than Bernard. The poor "Frankenstein"-esque designer was suddenly hit with multiple hits in this episode. First of all, he discovered the secrets of the first androids, and thus learned that Dolores, who had been treating her daughter, had been lying to herself, and even used him to some extent; then he discovered Old Ford's secret, the figure he regarded as a mentor who was also a teacher and a friend is now blurred and unpredictable; then his old lover Theresa suddenly proposed to break up, but this It's not over yet, Bernard learned from his subordinates that his long-time lover is actually a fourth-party force hidden in Westworld; and in the end, his most powerful assistant Elsie was also kidnapped by unknown people. . As the old saying goes, "four joys come to the door", but Bernard encountered "four sorrows come to the door" from four aspects: teacher, lover, apprentice, and child in one day. I don't know how this huge blow will affect Bernard's next development. What kind of impact will be caused, but referring to other film and television works, I feel that the probability of Bernard's blackening is quite large.
Let's talk about Bernard's old lover Theresa. As a high-level executive, she has been stealing the secrets of Paradise, and these secrets have been sent to the Delo Company, but Delo is also the major shareholder of Westworld. If only It would be too childish to interpret all of this as the fact that the shareholders are not at ease with the CEO, spying on the CEO, and Elsie also mentioned that in addition to Theresa, there are other unidentified people who are secretly using the first generation of androids to do things, and it is known that The only one who can control and inspire these first-generation androids is Arnold, who has been dead for thirty-five years. Then we also saw that Delos Company parachuted a very young woman to Westworld as the executive president of the board of directors to supervise, which cast a veil on the already confusing palace fight drama. There is an invisible net between the android, management, the board of directors, and the "dead" Arnold, which involves everyone. At present, a storm is inevitable, and the brothers caught in it Both Nader and Theresa may become victims of the struggle for power and capital.
ford
In the review of the last episode, I said that the labyrinth is likely to be the exclusive answer that Arnold set for the first-generation androids like Dolores, and even Ford himself couldn't figure out the true meaning of the labyrinth. Now it seems that this kind of speculation is a little more certain. Ford came to the town where Lawrence's family is located. This mysterious town has almost all the plots of important characters strung together. The man in black said that he has liked this for so many years. Here, Dolores had the illusion of the labyrinth map pointed out by Lawrence's daughter, and Ford saw the mysterious labyrinth map again here. When he saw the map, Ford's face was obviously full of doubts. After returning to the office, Ford turned out an old notebook after pondering for a while, on which he drew Dolores's sketch, the anatomy of an android, and the mysterious maze. If you guessed correctly, this The owner of the book is the dead Arnold.
As a dead man, Arnold has indeed appeared too many times. He not only appeared in the mouths of many people, but even appeared in a physical way. In the family Bernard accidentally discovered, his father looked almost exactly like Arnold in the photo Ford showed him earlier, so Bernard shouted out in surprise, "Are you Arnold?" Nader said that this family was originally created by Arnold according to Ford's life memory. This "father" was the father in Ford's childhood impression, and the image of his father was made into the appearance of his mysterious suicide partner. The relationship between Ford and Arnold is even more puzzling.
One of the assumptions I mentioned in the last episode is that Ford might make a human at all. Although this is only a possibility, in this episode, Ford can still easily use words and thoughts to control the first generation of androids that are not in the system, which makes the hypothesis a little more likely that Ford is not When a person makes a human, he does not look like a 100% human being.
It's also worth noting that in this family, the little boy who Ford thought was his projection killed his own dog. When Ford asked why, the little boy said that he saw the dog kill the rabbit, and then Arnold The voice told him to kill the dog to help him get out, we still remember that in the last episode, Ford just told the first generation receptionist Old Bill the story of the greyhound on the 82nd basement floor, and the little boy gave it right here. Another answer of his "If he dies, he can't hurt anything anymore", obviously, this is the will of the ghost Arnold. So the question is, why is Ford's story so quickly known by the androids, and why does he make such an answer? Is this also the order given to all androids by Arnold's ghost?
Ford and Arnold, a living god and a dead god, are at once opposites and entangled, becoming the biggest fog in Westworld.
Men in Black, Teddy, and the Two Lines of Time
In this episode, the gentle little Teddy broke out. Not only did "Noon has come", but he also used a heavy machine gun to turn it into a fortress and won the best in the game (never played "Overwatch" My friends, please ignore these two sentences), this makes the man in black who has always enjoyed brutality and murder a little sigh, which is really surprising, but in Teddy's flashback, we also saw Teddy Wyatt and Wyatt were once accomplices, and the two committed numerous crimes together. This story line was changed by Ford recently, turning a murder partner into a black and white confrontation. Ford designed this way, I am afraid it is far from the same.” Atonement" is that simple.
In the last episode, in addition to the assumption that Ford is an artificial human, I also raised the possibility that the development of the plot is actually two different timelines, which aroused some unpleasantness from some friends and refuted me, but in this episode I watched Now, the hypothesis of the dual-line theory of time seems to have been strengthened. When Bernard went deep into the 82nd floor to start the old robot system, we can clearly see that the logo on the computer is the same as the logo when William entered Westworld for the first time, and this logo is the current logo of Westworld. Not the same; and in William's plot, Maeve and Teddy never appear, and also in Maeve and Teddy's plot, William never appears; Maeve sees it in the promotional film upstairs He is the image of a peasant woman when he was scalped in a dream, and the prostitute in the promotional film does not have him. The repairman said that Maeve was a bustard who only became a bustard more than a year ago. In William's plot, if May Fu is already a bustard, so it is impossible for her not to appear; there is also a side evidence that after the little boy killed the dog, the corner of the dog's mouth also bleeds, which shows that whether it is the first generation or the latest generation of artificial people (things) will Bleeding, so it's very likely that William came to Westworld 30 years ago and experienced the big accident that nearly closed the park.
In this episode, the black man and Teddy came to Polia, which is the town where William and Dolores started killing in the previous episode, but two androids came and said that the border was blocked, so the two Without being able to enter Polia, there is no way to determine whether this is a dual-timeline plot. Therefore, it seems that the dual-line theory of time can only be used as a conjecture with more evidence, and it is naturally impossible for a director of Nolan's level to quickly let us know whether it is one timeline or two timelines. , he will definitely save this suspense to the end as much as possible, so, for us, it can only be a guess.
