I'll admit that, in my old age, it was getting difficult during season 3 to remember which character was in which other character's body, and which scenes were from the "real world" and which were from which computer simulation.
So season 4 starts, and somehow, we're supposed to know that 7 or 8 years have passed since the final episode of season 3, where Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) had supposedly been killed off for good. But there she was in last night's episode, going by the name of "Cristina" and holding down a job writing video games, with no apparent memories of her previous existence. And was this episode set in New York City - or just a simulation of New York City?
The thing that's hard to decide about this series is whether the writing is so imaginative that it's setting new standards, or whether it's so lazy, with so many holes in the various plot lines, that we shouldn't bother to care.
Love the main theme song BTW! I've seen every episode so far and will probably stick with it until the end.
Dolores/Cristina: lookin' better than ever!
Follow Ups:
But no of course not. By episode 4 we are mixed up in parallel universes and time shifts that may be time travel, why not? A character finds they are a robot, kind of to be expected anyway, but the character's child is a grown adult in some other parallel reality. It is a continuing mess. The only show that did parallel universes right is Rick and Morty.
. . . I'm out in the tulies again now that I've seen episode 4. ;-)
Actually essential.
Yes - I agree that partaking of these WestWorld Cliff's Notes equivalents can be helpful (not to mention entertaining - sometimes), but I haven't always had the willpower to avail myself of them! ;-)
I really enjoyed season one. It made sense. Too many moving parts in season 2 made it hard to follow. Maybe I'm just lazy.
Same with the Matrix movies. First one great but the rest are work.
I sort of wait until the entire series has ended before I get invested - I remembered all the Lost fans who were crushed at the ending of that show - same for Game of Thrones.
I hung in with Dexter but that show could have ended at the end of Season 4 and IMO it would have been the perfect ending. I liked some of it after but nothing got better than that season.
- and be just as far caught up as the rest of us are! ;-)
It has been a mess. Starting from an intriguing premise, it went completely off the rails. Big reveals followed one another, changing everything, seemingly at random. I gave up trying to make sense of anything. But it has high production values and is kind of fun anyway. So I don't really care that the dead are now alive and don't remember that they are robots or whatever. I found it rather minimalist but fast moving and, while I know the mysterious phone caller will turn out to be some sort of over complex nonsense, it is OK. I like the little orchestral arrangements of pop songs, last night Lana del Rey's Video Games.
this show is frustrating to the max. And yup, there's Delores, now Christina. And surely we'll soon be seeing Bernard as we did the man in black tho his robot self instead of the real guy. Not a fan of bringing bk poor Aaron Paul as Caleb. I found his character uninteresting in S3. He's typecast forever as Jessie and seems out of his element as anyone else. I keep expecting him to say "science bitch!".
Here's hoping the story line is a bit more linear and plot holes are a wee bit smaller and easier to digest

"E Burres Stigano?"
BTW, I see you corrected my "Cristina" spelling, which I got from one of those Westworld rap-session videos on YouTube. Thanks!
