The Price Of Liberty
An act of rage by a deranged killer. Cue Steve. TSMDM vacillates wildly between outstanding and abysmal. WTF is the liberty bell? A baddie does harm and horrid things. There is exposition and talk of the bicentennial. This was odious and I DNF. Massive flares and collars are worn. Steve orates and saves a bell. As bad as it could have been and then some.

Parce Domine
A shouty man shouts and is all my shoes cost more than your house. Dolores wants to secure a place or something. She has an unresolved electra complex. This shows promise only lives in a sense as a myth. Dolores is a harbinger of a future. Sensible behaviour is curiously absent from popular memory. Dolores does vast unnecessary harm. Shouty man had menacing provisos. Cue a bloody climax. There were wicked urges and lurid wickedness. This is unsatisfactory. No one is faintly uneasy.
Dolores is weirdly impervious to sense. Shouty man had furious desperation and he did questionable things. Dolores = criminal lunatic wrecking the contentment of humans. This is underlit. Shouty man had no moral rudder. Dolores monologues and her very existence is a problem. How is Dolores running around as Dolores? When is this? Someone should batter the filler out of her face. Dolores has chronic psychotic disorder. It is excruciatingly difficult to care about her descent into barbarity and acts of hate. Aaron Paul joins the cast and does creepy monotones. The opening credits change. There is no expediency. This is a hoo-haa shouty parody of itself.
What implant is Aaron Paul on about? TPTB got a lot of things wrong in the past. Dolores’ pursuit of revenge is relentless. She has macabre interest and does nefarious conduct. She is semi demonic. Who or what is Aaron Paul? Fake Charlotte shows up 3 months since the uprising. 113 people died in said uprising. That’s all? This is loud and grating and full of bad music. Fake Charlotte is CEO of Delos now? Bernard works on a horror farm. How?
Dolores does a quick change dress for no clear reason. Dolores has a boyfriend. Bernard was framed for Westworld. Dolores feels lofty superiority. Wtf is the point of Aaron Paul? This is derivative. There is no sense of atmosphere, suspense or menace. This is even more thoroughly unnecessary than season 2. There are doomed decisions and Dolores is quest led. Some anorexic bint who can’t act tries to act hard and tough. Piss off bint. I’ve no idea what is going on in this underlit crap. And I don’t care.

“Can’t imagine anyone’s going to miss you.”
The Winter Line
Maeve shows up in a non profound moment. She is in a WW2 themed simulation. Didn’t ‘Star Trek Voyager’ do this plot in the 90s? Hector shows up with a different accent. Sizemore shows up to babble about warworld. Stubbs is a host and is messed up. Stubbs is self-aware. Bernard returns to Westworld. Why was Stubbs left at Westworld? There is jeeping and a VR reveal. ‘VR5’ already did it circa 1995. Negative one is babbled about. Bernard manipulates Stubbs. So many gunfights. Some new neckbeard lurks. FFS.
Best Lines:
“Hose the brain matter out of her hair.”
“You’re a bit thick aren’t you?”
“Pawn in some sick bastard’s personal game.”
