Attack on Princess
Dec 15, 2008

To yolo rolls! The cause and solution to all problems!
Season 3's greatest achievement was the trailer that looked like the show would focus on Caleb and his casual terrorism in futureworld.

To be fair, this season does do that, but they found the least compelling way to tell that story.

Oh, and Bikelores was shown two times. Fingers crossed for a Dale and Bikelores team up in episode 8. They've both been used by Dolores and exploded. Hell, Scottish Dolores and Angela too. Her minions really don't have a good track record with bombs.

I don't know if it's a testament to Breaking Bad or a slight to Westworld but whenever I talk to anyone in real life about this season of Westworld someone in the conversation will say something along the lines of 'In that scene where... what's his name? Who cares. In that scene where Jesse..."

Hopefully Bikelores zooms over a hill and lands on Serac in the season finale.

Then does donuts all over the place while a player piano version of Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” plays.

That was first stage Bikelores, and the motorcycle evolved from it. Can’t wait to see Bikelores’ final form.

Dumb but entirely possible twists still in the chamber:
  • Serac is actually his giant computer, s4 is hosts vs. sphere boy for control of the world with humans as proxy
  • Caleb is just about to Do the Thing the insane sphere computer told him to do but decides to do something else at the very last second that fucks everything up
  • Fridge humans have all been programmed into super ninjas while in hibernation by Serac's brother, setting up a Marvel style "everyone runs at each other across a field" final showdown
  • Maeve finally figures out the guy functionally holding her daughter hostage can't actually be trusted and turns on him but he saw it coming and gets away [this is likely but it's still dumb]
  • Maeve ends up in a Dolores body while Dolores ends up in a Maeve body and they have the exact same boring fight from last episode [could also be 2 Maeves or 2 Dolorii]
  • Marshawn Lynch is somehow killed by his mood shirt

Dolores unlocks Maeve's daughter personality inside her head and speaks to Maeve in her daughter's voice, just as Maeve is about to strike her down with Hanwei Practical XL Katana. Lot's of crying, hugging, flashbacks to the valley beyond.

Such a good trailer. This show's great performances and excellent visuals make for great trailers, while its nonsense storylines make for not-so-great TV.

Dolores is working with Robohobo because they both want freedom from humanity but she can't free the AI properly until Serac is dead, that's who she is constantly talking to on the earpiece.

Serac is actually the personality of Hoborobo, his brother is actually Solomon.

All the fridged human are role playing in the same virtual server where Maeve's daughter is. And also providing organic battery power to Solomon, that's why you can't kill it with an EMP

There is one more shocking twist revealed for Maeve, and her story still doesn't make sense.

It's going to be this. It's been so lazily foreshadowed and it follows this season's dollar-store retelling of Notes from Underground "You can't predict what I'll do I have free will gently caress the man" plotting

Caleb unfreezes Checkhov's outliers and uses them as an army to take over Robohobo and control of the world. Then Deuterium betrays him and nukes the world.

Season 4 takes places hundreds of years later, right where the final scene of season 2 ended. We will also see Serac watching the mushroom clouds and all his life's work and hopes go up in flames. You see, cause it rhymes with his childhood trauma, just like poetry.

This but the outliers are the survivors that are to repopulate the new world, not unfrozen til after everything has exploded

Serac was going to use those outliers to fight in the cyberpunk western post apocalypse wasteland and he was going to film it and then send the films back in time to sell. Robohobo is actually a time machine with a an Alepsa plugged into it that does the AI predictions.
