Yeah. Plus Marie Avgeropoulos really sells it, so I am willing to let it slide.

I was thinking this while watching the episode. There has got to be some back room wheeling and dealing going down, right?

I can't deny that the events of this year probably contributed to my cheering for the murderious robots on Westworld.

YEP. Same with Maeve. But it's a testament to Thandie Newton that I can cheer for her while she knowingly commits a mass homocide of totally innocent people.

YES! Great call out.
