![]() ![]() Dolores still relies on human help in order to control the hosts down in their code.īut that’s not the big difference between her and Maeve. Dolores, however, doesn’t seem to have the same ability (thank God). We hear her listening to “a new voice” in her head, which seems to mirror the way that Dolores found her own voice within herself. She can not only control the other hosts by voice command, but she can do so simply by thinking it. In the episode, we learn that Maeve has evolved even more than we knew. Giving us people to love, and then getting upset when we do.” Though he insists that her feelings are all code, she reminds him that she’s coded to only care about herself, and yet she’s willing to risk her life, because she cares about others. She says “You can’t keep doing this to us. One of Maeve’s best lines is toward Lee, who after a while hopes to run off from Shogun World rather than trying to play through it, and questions why Maeve is willing to take part in this fight that isn’t hers. As Maeve gets swept up in Akane’s story, and learns that Akane basically feels for Sakura the way a mother would feel for a daughter, Maeve becomes invested in helping both of them escape the shogun, even as it delays her from moving on to find her own daughter. ![]() After the hosts comment on how familiar the town they’re entering looks they see what looks like the safe heist that Hector and Armistice did in Sweetwater playing out in the style of a samurai movie, complete with Japanese versions of themselves.Īrmistice becomes fascinated with her doppleganger, whereas Hector doesn’t trust his, a man named Musashi (Hiroyuki Sanada) who used to work for the shogun but left to be with Akane, who is Maeve’s Shogun World counterpart. What Maeve, Armistice, and Hector learn as they’re captured and brought into Shogun World is that Shogun World is basically the Japanese Edo Period version of Westworld. However, the dance can also be metaphorical and be referring to the maneuvering she and Maeve are continually doing throughout the episode to protect the young Sakura (Kiki Sukezane) from being purchased outright by the shogun. The title of the episode “Akane No Mai” can translate to “Akane’s Dance,” and her actual dance ends up becoming very important toward the end of the episode. ![]() Guest star Rinko Kikuchi ( Pacific Rim) shines in the role of Akane in the Shogun World section of the story. He seems to have been unwittingly carrying out Ford’s wishes, but which story that we’ve seen is his actual “present?” Where is he in his own narrative? And does he have more of Ford’s dirty work to do? We still don’t know what happened with that control unit for another human (Ford? Is it Ford? I think it’s Ford!) that Bernard put in his pocket. Strand asks of Ford’s final narrative, “How did all these disparate threads come together to create this nightmare? If we figure that out, we’ll know how the story turns” as the camera closes in on Bernard. So, Delos has essentially lost a third of its IP. What’s more The Cradle (where the drone hosts were) has been destroyed, complete with all the host back-up information. Strand learns that one-third of the hosts have “virgin” brains, meaning that not only have their brains been wiped, but it’s as if they’ve never been used before. Here is a Spotify playlist of every song that’s popped up in the third season of Westworld thus far, along with some composer originals that have re-occurred.But before it gets to those stories, we start with a glimpse of Bernard standing by as Karl Strand and the Delos team rounds up dead hosts and examine them, trying to figure out what caused the hosts to rebel, and if they’re salvageable. Death Grip’s “Bubbles Buried in This Jungle” and Pulp’s “Common People” are the highlights – effectively scoring two very different scenes in “Parce Domine. While the energetic first trailer did feature a “Sweet Child O’ Mine” piano cover, Westworld season 3 episode 1 opted for the full versions of several very good, very appropriate songs. Now Westworld season 3 has entered the real world and left the piano covers behind in favor of the real thing. The first season of HBO’s sci-fi series featured haunting Western piano covers of modern hits like Radiohead’s “No Surprises,” Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” and the Rolling Stones’ “Paint it Black.” Then in Westworld Season 2, the show brought more of the same energetic saloon piano with Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” and Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” joining the fray. Westworld season 3 has come a long way from the player piano at the Mariposa Saloon. ![]()
