the pure recap is a waste. We saw the same show. I already know what happened.

That was gate from the end of season 2 that the hosts walked through to enter the Sublime.

I think all the faceless drones don’t have a pearl, and neither the massive ED-209-like enforcer robots. The pearl hosts the super-A.I. consciousness, but in the Westworld universe you can build robots that don’t need that and are closer to real-life robots.

a dam that will, eventually, fail, sooner than later if there’s noone in the real world to maintain it.

There are outliers

has perfect recollection not only of every host she’s ever encountered, but also of every human she created narratives for. Which is to say, all of them who were part of Charlotte’s “game”. (Yeah, they pretty much just limited it to New York in the show, but the implication is that it’s all humans everywhere that…

Still seems destined for failure after a relatively short time if no one’s producing replacement parts.

9) How exactly does that rift in spacetime between the Sublime and the Real World at the Hoover Dam work??? What even is that???

Were all the people she influenced part of her simulation or were they real?

Not anymore.

funny to see the others react to it (especially Stubbs)

It’s funny how Human Bernard and Host Bernard have essentially lived the same exact life.

Presumably the fight is choreographed by Hale to feel just dangerous enough to convince him that he’s successfully escaping

God save us if bad guys ever realize that they shouldn’t gently toss their victims to the side when they have those victims by the throat, helplessly thrashing about while they desperately try to find a little bit of air.

This is a show that hired Pom Klementieff to play a not-even-that-glorified extra.

Why must Clementine be so sidelined?

But everyone seems to be missing my point here. They WOULD KNOW what’s in there. That’s what would make if SAFER. They would know about some to-them-perfectly-normal bullshit cover story about being the museum of modern art that they don’t feel any wish to visit, or some such. Heck, they would even actually recall…

Nope. You don’t question it. You know why it’s there. It’s that tower that’s in your city. Do you question why a skyscraper that’s in your city is there and what it hides? No, because you know why it’s there. It’s that skyscraper that’s in your city. People who live in NYC don’t find suspicious that the Empire State…

I don’t think you got what I meant. The tower would just be a tower to them. Just concrete and steel and glass, like any other building in the town. There’s no reason to make that invisible. They wouldn’t be able to consciously know it’s the seat of their control. It still wouldn’t look like anything to them. It would…

Exactly (though maybe she tells herself she’ll be a guide, not a ruler. She doesn’t want them to have rules, remember?). Which is why I don’t feel that “rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven” applies.
