Very attractive, yes, but a bit too scary to really put me in the mood.
I’m also rooting for her and Serac, though, since, for all of humanity’s many and obvious faults, it’s still my species. And, despite the carnage in the Delos parks, humanity seems to have its shit together better in Maeve’s time than in my own.
I am. Pretty much the same way I rooted for Roy Batty…
I too agree that Maeve is a 9 or 10 - there’s just something about her that’s extremely charismatic.
My theory is that the “brain” that was grabbed by the robot wasn’t Maeve - though I need to look again to see if that was the one she pointed out as hers. I think the robot we followed was a distraction to draw the guards, and that a second one (perhaps designed to look like a repair robot) may have followed behind to get her and escape unnoticed. I could be wrong of course, but the attempt we saw was a bit reckless for somebody as intelligent as Maeve has proven to be.
Can anyone explain to me how Dolores can do anything she wants whenever she wants and know everything just at the opportune time? My knee-jerk reaction (mostly because I hate her character) is just because the plot demands it. But how did she know the entire history of Caleb? How can she just turn off all the cameras whenever she wants? How does she know all she does about Roaboam? How can she just magically buy three hotel rooms, all next to each other, on a whim?
Is this all because of the dude she abducted/robbed in episode one? Because her knowledge of the world, despite having lived in it for like 3 months, is apalling.
I was wondering why the ambulance AI was so confused by her physiology but didn’t immediately identify her as a robot or android.
She has a shitload of money from that guy in Episode one. She is able to “magically buy three hotel rooms” the same way you or I could. Basically a more advanced version of “Alexa, reserve three adjacent rooms at the Courtyard by Marriot”.
But yeah, they do seem to be going with a theme of Dolores is an AI, therefore she can instantly glean any information she wants from any system instantaneously, without regard for security, firewalls, or even the reasonableness of such information being actually stored anywhere. Except for some reason, Charlotte, Maeve, every other host and Dolores herself (when the plot requires it) are more or less forced to interact with their world the way a human would.
Hell, I can barely get two rooms adjacent to each other when I buy hotel rooms 6 months in advance, I’d love to be able to buy three in a row in a busy hotel on the day of
In addition to money, Dolores got secret data pertaining to Incite from the guy in Episode 1, maybe even including something about Rehoboam itself. I also figured Dolores got or was able to steal more information through Liam.
Independently of that, she also knows or ha access to everything every former visitor to the park knew (Delos’s “I.P.” that Charlotte stole and Serac wants).
As for knowing everything about Caleb, she telephoned and asked her mole at Incite to get it for her, she didn’t get it by communing with the Matrix.
First of all, the hosts look and feel human - they breath, they have a pulse, they bleed. Second of all, as far as we know, hosts only exist at the Delos parks; they aren’t just walking around on the streets. They paramedics couldn’t identify her as a robot because they’d probably never seen a human-looking robot before; the onboard computer (not an AI, just a diagnostic tool) likely hadn’t been programmed to recognize them.
Im quickly losing interest in this show… It is bad.
Yeah, given the duration of that scene, I would no more assume a couple of ambulance workers thought they were working on a cutting edge android that escaped from an amusement park any more than one would assume that a giant mouse wasn’t a human in a costume.
So that’s one thing about the hosts that kind of bothers me. How much of the hosts physiology is necessary to their operations vs just cosmetic to appear “human”. And are they mostly indistinguishable, or if you disected one, would you find that they don’t have hearts and livers and whatnot like we do? Much in the way their brains are different?
Men don’t just snap to attention because Maeve (Tandie Newton) is attractive. They do it because she has a commanding presence. Particularly when she’s in the park’s “show building” areas and starts bossing around hapless techs.
Maybe a better question about Dolores is how she and the other hosts can even move about the human world at all, given the level of surveillance and data collection we’ve been presented.
That’s one of the things you just have to live with in order to keep someone like Evan Rachel Wood on the show. Yes, it would be much easier if she just looked completely different, and it doesn’t make much sense that she hasn’t been caught when she looks like Dolores still. Specially with the level of surveillance that was able to pull a live view of Caleb getting his ass beat.
Dolores is able to tap in to Rehoboam obviously. She got Caleb’s information. She sees that humans are tracked from birth and they are tracked in that way. She isn’t tracked because she doesn’t have a file like they do. She only has her Westworld file. That’s why Serac wanted moles in the first place, to get their technology to help with Rehoboam. And Dolores needed a mole at Incite, which helped her learn about Caleb. Sorry if I’m not spelling these names right, just going by sound.
The EMTs likely never saw a “host” before. They are not like robots. Robots are those big clunky machines like Caleb’s co-worker. BTW, RIP to that one. Was that robot reacting to the sensors when Caleb was being tortured or did he just sense a human friend in danger? Who knows? Usually it’s fun to speculate with this show but they’re not giving enough clues, and a lot of them are likely dead-ends anyway. Like why did Charlotte’s ex call her “Charlie”? Is that an in-joke teasing people who like to think Charlotte is Arnold’s child? Grandchild? I get so confused on the timeline it’s hard to say. And who is in host-Charlotte? Well who bloody knows at this point? Who even knows who’s in Dolores?
I don’t know but I can’t wait to see the next episode. They have not lost me yet.
Yeah, I had to do some fast-forwarding on this latest one.
Do we know who Dolores put in Charlotte? Was it Cowboy Boyfriend? Clementine?
There have been scenes of the bodies being printed, and they don’t look remotely human on the inside.
Nope. They are not giving that one out easy. There were hints it could be just about anyone.
There’s only like two or three people it could be anyways.
God, I’m glad it wasn’t just me that was confused.
I actually started to think it was a copy of Dolores. That idea sort of fell apart on examination, so now I think it’s Teddy. I am getting a little tired of this, though.
Interestingly enough, I had the exact opposite opinion. I thought it was one of the best episodes of the show and I was riveted. Now granted, it’s not the same show as S1 or S2. It’s become more of a cleaner Blade Runner dealing with corporate sabotage - more like Blade Runner the series than Westworld, but there was always more than a little bit of Blade Runner in it all along (and I’ve always loved BR more).

Anyone noticed how in many scenes they have everyone talk…as…sowly…as…possible to pad out running time? Especially in the scenes with Dolores and Whoever.
