The first time through, I missed the after-the-end-credits scene of the Season 2 Westworld finale. Turns out, there was a similar tag-on at the conclusion of Season 1, but I didn’t stick around for that one, either. When “The Passenger” reran, I dutifully tuned in for the final minutes to see The Man in Black —…

‘Westworld,’ Tell Me Who The Heroes Are
As much as “Vanishing Point” (S 2 E 9) may have finally answered some questions, it opened others, and left me with this profound sense that I have no one to root for. Bernard, I suppose. But I don’t know who’s the hero in this story, and there aren’t even any dark knights whose victories…
‘Kiksuya’ Is ‘Westworld’ At Its Easiest And Most Compelling

You are halfway through the season, and nothing has happened. Nothing. Early on in tonight’s episode, I had high hopes. We got a momentary switcheroo with Delores seemingly…
“Westworld’s” Most Interesting Storylines Probably Exist Outside the Park
I first heard of ‘Westworld’ back in 2015 when news broke that background performers (extras) were asked to sign a startling consent form that described potential acts they would have to perform on set. It got the attention of SAG-AFTRA, who issued a member alert telling actors about their rights to withdraw from the production….
