 what's up guys and welcome to one take tonight we are talking about westworld season three episode three titled the absence of field this video is going to be full of spoilers through season three episode three but no spoilers from future episodes and that includes what is shown on the next time on preview i'm gil i'm talking to my tech guys slash brother alon yo and my good friend jeremy say hello hello with that let's jump into tonight's episode we'll do a quick rundown of charlotte story and then we'll jump over to cal and delores but before we do that jeremy just wanted to get your take so far how are you feeling about season three of westworld and just high level what do you think of tonight's episode i'm enjoying season three a lot probably more than i enjoyed season two i think um seems to be moving at a much quicker pace we're getting a lot more information although that might have been true a little bit more last week than it was this week but on the whole still still enjoying it love the constant feeling of not knowing when things are who anyone is or where we're taking place it's like right teeters on the edge of that being annoying and terrible writing but it's actually really really good and i'm really all the way in i'm enjoying it yeah same here i have been i know you were less down on season two than i was i wasn't a big fan of season two and literally every complaint i had about last season has been reversed corrected and full 360 i guess you'd want a 180 so you end up facing the other direction so i have been loving season three i think the storyline has been streamlined but there's still enough complexity there that there's plenty to debate as we'll see in tonight's video and i'm way more emotionally invested this season and virtually every character so i'm absolutely loving this season and tonight was no exception so let's start with charlotte hail tessa thompson's character the episode starts off with a quick flashback to the middle of the westworld massacre and we see charlotte beginning to leave a message at first we don't know who it's for from there we jump to another flashback where we see delores creating the charlotte host charlotte wakes up has an emotional moment where she wonders where am i who am i delores explains that this mystery host is going to have to pretend to be charlotte hail so we can control delos and charlotte asks why did you bring back bernard delores says we all have our role to play so a couple of questions here number one do you have any idea why delores brought bernard back i feel like we've gotten a couple of potential explanations delores a couple of times has given sort of cryptic reasoning like we saw here what's your take on that if you have one um yeah i mean it's it's interesting and and we are getting those little little breadcrumbs kind of like you mentioned it seems like it's some kind of a uh and you might have even said this yourself last week if somebody said it that like a like an agent smith neo kind of situation where she thinks that they need both of them in order to get what she ultimately wants like maybe if she just comes in as the rogue uh you know host society has a way to shut her down but if there's kind of two they can create this weird uh dynamic and maybe work it out from there that would probably be my my best theory that i'm certainly ready to be swear of done the uh the one other theory out thrown to the mix is i wonder if delores still feels any loyalty to bernard or arnold and her quote unquote creators and maybe she maybe she believes that at some point down the road he will see her way of thinking and will ultimately become an ally i'm not sure if i agree with bernards take last episode where he says that she's worried she's going to go too far that just doesn't seem like an aspect of her character we've at all seen so far but i also think that delores we're seeing this season feels very different than the one we saw last season so i'm not sure we fully understand her character yet but they've been basically asking this question every episode this season so i'm assuming more light will be shed on her it seems like she has a very specific part of the plan in mind for bernard we all have our role to play so i think it'll be i think it'll be revealed at some point so charlotte is informed that somebody is attempting a hostile takeover of delos over the course of years they've been buying little bits of delos and now they basically own it which is going to prevent their plans moving forward to become a private company they figure out that this man is syroc the person that delores learned about last episode or actually learned about in the first episode one thing i love is they describe syroc as the man is a black hole which felt like a take on that line before a million times the guy's a ghost it just seemed like they were looking for a more creative way to say it and i also love the way they identified him the guy nobody knows anything about him and apparently black hole is an apt metaphor because the only thing you can learn about him is that if you look at our whole financial system there's like a three trillion dollar gap that can't be explained that's syroc he's anonymous but the richest man in the world the charlotte learns this information then goes home and sees the real charlotte's husband jake when they start kissing and getting physical she starts to make noise and he says be quiet he'll hear you and she asks who shakes not happy about that and this is where we learn and my understanding here is that this is also where host charlotte learned that she has a son and what was your reaction to that piece of information yeah awkward scene i mean at first i didn't know if she knew who the husband was either um but i i don't know and then i started thinking about like when she became charler whoever is in there became charlotte like do they have all her memories and stuff too like would she know all that stuff she clearly acted like to me that reaction said i i didn't even know that i had a son well and she was trying to quickly act fast and in fact it looked like the whole reason she started coming on to him was to get him to shut up and not figure out that she's not who she really is i don't know maybe i'm overthinking that a little bit but that was kind of my uh that was my read on it there no i think you're right because up to this point i hadn't really thought at all about the complexities of taking over charlotte's life i think i took for granted that they have i actually i don't think i even pondered the question at all whether or not she had charlotte's memories but when you think about it how could she have charlotte's memories i don't think we've seen anything to indicate that you can take a biological human being and just extract all of their memories so i think that delores at a minimum didn't know charlotte had a son and i agree charlotte did seem caught off guard that her husband was there she first thing she asked is how the f did you get in here and he says you know i lived here for eight years and that's like you said where she basically shuts him up with her mouth right so the only weird thing then with that is if you can't get back details on someone does that mean that all the stuff with um delores and uh cal kaleb is on like a different timeline then maybe because that's constantly a thought i find myself thinking too i'm so used to westworld whenever you're jumping around not just being a shift in location but also usually a weird shift in like 30 years for for no reason and and i don't know because like delores obviously was able to get all that info using whatever computer if it's the riba boom or whatever thing like to get all that stuff on on calib's whole backstory you know they should have been able to do that with charlotte too or maybe charlotte doesn't have access to that i don't know i'm not really sure no fair point or so i do think that delores got that information on calib from reho bowham i think that's how you pronounce that database um but it didn't seem to me like she has free access to that database i think that was maybe one small piece of the information she retrieved so i could see a situation where at a you know at a minimum well actually when delores created charlotte that was before she came back to the mainland and i think before she knew about insight and reho bone so when she gets to calib that's after she learned about this database and maybe was able to get some of that information potentially from the guy that she killed in the cold open of episode one that's true that's a good point but other thoughts in this scene when she does go up to see her son and her son can basically recognize that this is not his real mother just makes me appreciate the depth that they've added to every character this season when we went into season three first off i assumed that charlotte was basically just a clone of delores it didn't occur to me that delores had to take another mind and stick it in this new charlotte body so i didn't think there was going to be any complexity there whatsoever it was just going to be a sort of hey we've got somebody in control of dolus now but they've added this whole thing where charlotte now needs to contend with taking over the previous charlotte's personal life with which comes with the tragedy of having to take over this mother's life and am i going to be a mother to this kid who wants his mom back and she struggles with this identity crisis just a heartbreaking moment and very just like i said my one of my biggest complaints of season two was the fact that most of the main characters were hosts and i didn't find any of them sympathetic i kind of hated them and now i'm intrigued by all of them and i sympathize with all of them but enough of the emotional lovey-dovey stuff let's get to west world theorizing who is the host that's in the charlotte body jeremy any theories yeah so two things one is that where we leave off at the end of the previous season obviously is is uh delores is inside the the charlotte body which i you know when that ended i i feel like we're all taking that for granted now that it was easy that they just swapped back because this season has basically matter of factly started with like oh well obviously it's delores inside delores even though that's not the way things were when we left them you just assume it but whatever i'll i'll that'll we'll just take that as a given fact because that's the way the show is addressing it even though i think it's probably not true because i haven't addressed that at all uh i think the charlotte i think the biggest clue we get and it's obvious but from this episode is the scene with the you know the uh guy in the in the park touching her son's hand which i don't know if we want to wait till we get to there for it but i think that was kind of our our biggest clue or my biggest like oh this has got to be you know i mean to me maybe like william i don't know if that's going too much out on a on a limb but some kind of a some kind of a william version based on that moment of choking that guy and the all the conversations about nobody knows you better than i do and and all the things like that i just don't know where else all that history would have come in from i mean teddy seems like the other thing but i think they want you to think teddy which means it's probably not him oh i don't know william the human basically a host clone of his mind inserted into the charlotte body something to that and somehow yes just because of the way that they say the word predator and because and i'm probably overthinking a lot of this but like we have that weird flash forward scene at the end of last season we also know that he has all the like he's obviously has been in that park enough to have been cloned and fidelity tested and whatever and when he starts having that breakdown of like who am i really he cuts himself on the wrist in a very similar way to the way that oh yeah that she does in in this episode a couple well in a way that i also was trying to think like well when william was kind of breaking down mentally at the end of season two he starts cutting his arm open to approve whether or not he's a host exactly and then another thing i was what so i watched this with my fiance and then she pointed out also that it would make sense for william to have crazy emotional issues with a child abandoning them because of all the stuff that he you know did with his killing his daughter last season and all that stuff so that's where my head is at i think i don't know it maybe feels like a step too much but that so is everything else in this show so that's where i'm at i i love the theory the moment you said it at first you said william i was like who is william because my mind it only went to who are all the hosts on the show and then i remembered it's the human and i thought no way but as you've talked through it i actually kind of like that theory and i think it fits because i figured whoever this host is delores seems to have a very personal connection with whoever's brain is in there so the first place my mind went was teddy potentially and she did have that very protective relationship with him where although it was romantic in one sense she was definitely above him in that relationship as somebody that's more awake and informed she was the lead in it and we see some of that here with the charlotte character but between those two theories right now i put my money on the william theory which would be really interesting because as far as i know i think the real william the human william is alive at this point because he was alive at the end of season two you know putting aside the flash forward in the post credit sequence but i believe that was flashing very far forward into the future whereas season three is only a few months after season two so it'd be very interesting to see real william meet william clone in charlotte hill's body william but i like your theory we'll see so go ahead no no go ahead go ahead there's just so many weird different things like you know this could be a delores has that whole conversation about mirror universes and there's so many different ways that it could be him even though right now it seems like it doesn't make sense like there's so many different options so have you heard the theory just speaking of crazy theories you know that there was the westworld movie back in the seventies you know what the sequel to that movie was called that was the uh future world future world yeah could this entire season take place in the mysterious park future world and none of this is real i think that would be a disappointing way of doing it but i think something like that could certainly be at play yeah we'll see i'm not a fan of that theory but i've heard that one thrown around but we'll see so from there charlotte is informed that after the westworld massacre which i don't think they call it that in the show but i've taken to calling it that they found that some hc us or host control units went missing one of which was made which we knew about and she's informed there is a mole inside doles that's been feeding info to syroc charlotte is freaking out she goes to meet delores in a hotel delores sees that charlotte is cutting herself and uh in a very specific pattern she sees sort of a circle and a line over her chest a circle and a line down her arm and delores is able to sort of calm charlotte down and give her a few orders you've got to find the mole and kill him or her you cannot let us lose control to syroc you've got to convince the board to make a counter offer and to do that you'll have to pay a visit to an old friend so i won't keep harping on it but i just love the identity crisis stuff with charlotte and uh when she has her emotional breakdown here one of the most impressive acting things that westworld does is that these hosts have to go through such a wide range of emotions on command i think the first time i noticed that back in season one was with delores's father where he over and over actually feel bad for the actor that he had to do this but he constantly had to go from calm delores's father very paternal great to having a mental breakdown crying and we see tessa tomson do a little bit of that here her acting i think was very impressive in this episode and i just very much felt for her in this hotel identity crisis scene and in all of her identity crisis moments this is also where we very much see charlotte as kind of or delores as kind of his motherly figure to charlotte uh charlotte says i don't know what i'd do without you delores and delores tries to reassure her but anyway jeremy when when delores says you'll have to see an old friend do you know what she was referring to there wasn't clear to me by the end of the episode what that meant exactly i i don't necessarily i mean i think it could be a million different things especially if my other theory is is maybe accurate and because william obviously would have had a lot of real world friends um but i did that is one thing that has happened a couple times this season that i don't like very much like if that were i know it sounds insane to say if this were real but if this were real she wouldn't say that she would just say who it was it's the same thing as when they're in the plane and someone's like oh how when was the last time you were here and she says something to the effect of like i haven't been here and quite some time like you wouldn't talk like that you would just say like you know but if there's a time jump that would have given away the time jump so she can't say it that way there's a couple little weird like conversational quirks it happens here with that where you've never say that and it happens a lot in the exposition heavy conversation with syrac that i'm sure we'll get to at the back end of the episode where he like ham fists all this stuff in what he's like well you told me you would bring me all the info don't you remember that it's it's really clunky um but i don't i i'll i'll just piggyback off my own theory and say that if it's william inside there somehow that the old friend is some contact he had from when he was running things right right that's a good point it would be as if my brother asked me who are you live streaming with tonight i was like an old friend didn't know who who is it you know right friend from a long time ago if i were to play devil's advocate here's what i could say is that with reho bohem and the absurd invasion of privacy that's happening in this world you might want to speak in code and not say who that old friend is you know try to keep under the radar but true how about this theory what about if old friend the other time old friend is used perhaps famously in uh in in cinema would be at the end of silence of the lambs i'm having an old friend for dinner what does that have to do with anything of course it started Anthony Hopkins uh maybe he maybe Robert Ford is is the old friend i did actually think when charlotte went to the house at the end of the episode and they put those glasses on her which i assume are sort of augmented reality glasses so i say to myself she's about to see someone who's not really there i thought for a second maybe it was going to be anthony hopkins uh but i was certainly big um well let's go from there so yeah i'm not sure who that old friend is but we will see in the coming episodes if that's made a little bit clearer charlotte is given a video that was pulled out of the wreckage in the westworld massacre it's the video that the real charlotte hail was recording at the beginning of the episode and if her story wasn't tragic enough they lay on a little extra slice of awfulness it is the real charlotte believing that she is potentially about to die leaving a goodbye video for her son which ends with her tearfully singing you are my sunshine my only son and that's all i can do without getting another youtube copyright strike and then charlotte is informed that she is again late to pick up her son from school so robot charlotte has not yet learned to be a mother she goes to the school and finds her son with a predator a pedophile um with uh which is just awful to see especially earlier in the episode her son is talking about his friend um tom your thomas charlotte suggests maybe setting up a play date and we find out this awful man is that thomas she sends her son away and then strangles the guy while giving him some exposition about how you're reminding me who i really am you're not the only predator around here and at first this kind of i think any other show this would have bothered me this exposition heavy dialogue where she's basically laying out her inner thoughts and telling us what's going through her mind basically saying i've been off my game but this taste of violence this taste of punishing someone who deserves it is bringing me back to my old self that kind of exposition might bother me but i think season two taught me that these hosts are ones to philosophize out loud like this and i think they probably got that from uh what's the name of the guy from hanibal we were just talking about anthony hopkins he was very much like this i think he put a little bit of himself in all of them what do you think jeremy do you buy it or maybe her host has a history of violence co-starring ed harris who is of course also william uh no i i completely buy it i think it's i thought it was a great moment like the way that she kind of snaps into it pulls the little sensor thing out of his pocket that we've seen in previous episodes to set up like thanks for turning all the cameras off for me i thought that was awesome it was a great it was a great scene i was like it was very like exhilarating uh scene in a in a not necessarily as action heavy as other episodes were episode um and i was good it made me ask all the questions i want to be asking myself when i'm watching a westworld episode yeah and i'll just add one thing to that to again keep going back to season two but one of my complaints i didn't find the host sympathetic they were always murdering humans regardless of whether they were innocent or not or really the idea was no one's innocent but here i feel like every time they kill a human they really go out of their way to make sure you know that human is a scumbag episode one when delores kills that guy just casually dropped that he murdered his ex-wife and then for this guy he's a child predator so i'm totally on board with him being strangled to death and uh from there so throughout the episode charlotte has been getting phone calls from an unknown number leaving these scrambled voicemails that don't make any sense finally she calls that number back then plays each of the scrambled messages in sequence and we didn't notice this before but each message was a different tone when you play them in sequence you are my sunshine it is that melody and that unlocks whatever code you need to put through when you call that unknown number she gets through to somebody it's again just sort of a scrambled message she says i want to meet the car goes into automatic mode brings her to a mansion and who was this unknown caller it was syrac she has a conversation with hologram syrac where we get a pretty big bombshell who was the mold this whole time it was charlotte herself but she didn't know because it was charlotte the human before the westworld massacre went down so my understanding of what happened here is that charlotte went to syrac before she went to westworld the island and everything got all messed up between her and syrac and the database reho bowham they knew that this massacre was going to happen and it was going to be an opportunity for charlotte to sneak all of that data that they've been collecting on the island back out to the real world and hand it over to syrac apparently it was charlotte's idea but of course we know everything went wrong we know that delores beamed that data out somewhere and she has the encryption key so syrac wants that data charlotte doesn't have it and syrac says you're running out of time by the way i know a little bit more than you think which is that like i just said the encryption key that you need to get to this data is in the mind of a host named delores so first off jeremy did i get all that right and second this is probably the first time this season where i i feel levels of confusion similar to those that i felt in season two but i think i've recalibrated myself i think i was on board with everything he said because i was also asking all those questions as as the he was spitting out a lot of information at the same time there but yeah i mean i think that's it obviously the big thing was that real charlotte was the mole also just to jump back really quickly did you think it was weird where the scene with charlotte and delores in the hotel and she she seems to be touching her on the mole on her face when she was talking about being a mole i thought that was really weird that's great it was a bizarre like the austin powers type thing but yeah no i i think i think he summed everything up there and it just it feels like the amount of information he gave to her in that almost makes it feel like he's trying to manipulate her too like maybe he knows that she's a host like that like there's something else going on there um and this is not necessarily we're asking about right now too but just what we're talking about extra things going on the constant cutting and dipping to black in between everything in this episode it was so over the top that i just kept thinking it has to be a device for something they show this smart wouldn't keep doing that without there being a reason i have no idea what the reason is but i'm sure it'll eventually be like really clear or somebody on reddit will figure out that it dipped the black in a morse code that spells out like you know drink more oval teen or whatever so that's an interesting point i forgot about that but i do remember during the episode multiple times thinking all right the credits are about to roll because they would fade to black for so long before fading back in that's really interesting it did it so often and it was it made me think like the show doesn't do things like that without having a purpose like the same reason last or the same way that last week they lull you into this like man are they really bringing this dude back like we saw him get gunned down isn't the show smarter than this and then you remember yes the show is smarter than this for the for the most part so i feel like there's got to be some other reason that it kept because it just otherwise that would be like just such weird lazy over the top writing to constantly be dipping to black and to be back up yeah how disappointing would it be if it was uh you know our running times running a little short we needed to fill out 60 minutes so we just you know extended every fade to black by a couple seconds right thanks thanks JJ Abrams yeah oh but this is you know an interesting twist it kind of makes me want to go back to season two at least some of it because well to see if there's anything in Charlotte's behavior that does indicate she knows more than you think i do remember that she was a very she was very confident in the midst of everything that was going down last season part of that is her character does have a reputation for being very tough so it makes sense but part of that could also be because she had a pretty good idea what was going on and felt comfortable she would get through it she didn't count on Dolores yeah i like that a lot it makes it does make her like it fits everything that she did last season this does not feel like a new season twist that is weirdly retconning stuff it makes sense with what she did yeah agreed satisfying twist and uh yeah any other thoughts on the Charlotte storyline in this episode uh not not for now not for me all right well let's jump over to Cal and Dolores just a quick time check jeremy are you good to keep going here uh i i am good all right awesome speaking of good let's talk about Cal so Cal last time we saw him he found a wounded Dolores and ran over to help her this picks up right there a few EMTs stop over throw Dolores into the back of an ambulance Cal gets in with them but very quickly after that they're stopped by cops then Cal sees on his app which i love this app the uh the one that get that big the greatest auto app what's it called again Rico Rico that just gives you petty crimes or even big crimes if you want to commit them and he sees that Dolores is a target these cops are hired guns that are there to kill her with Cal's help Dolores kills the cops then tells Cal you're gonna have to go on the run and change your name see ya so i have a whole lot to say about the scene except i love the Cal character again i feel like whatever complaint i had last season they went so far the other direction because i haven't met a character this sympathetic since Jesse from Breaking Bad he's sympathetic he's awesome it's also so great to once again see him stare down a gun in his face and then of course once he gets through everything he's more concerned with Dolores than himself so just such a fan of Cal and then if you think to yourself could i be any more of a fan he goes to visit his sick mother because of course like a good son he looks out for his mother so he tells her he's gonna go away for a while so he's planning to go on the run as Dolores recommended and then again they want to tug at her heartstrings she doesn't recognize him as we saw in the previous episode which i just need to throw out there it occurred to me afterwards this is almost a total reversal of what's going on with Charlotte with Charlotte you have a son who doesn't recognize his mother or doesn't believe his mother is his mother here you have a mother who doesn't recognize her own son which also calls into question Jeremy Charlotte's son doesn't recognize her because she's a host Cal's mother doesn't recognize him because he's a host could it be could certainly be could certainly be could just be an interesting parallel uh there's there's a lot going on another fun parallel thing that i'm thinking with with all this Cal stuff versus Dolores is Cal is kind of like the Dolores for Dolores like what Dolores's Westworld role was was like you know i don't know there's some weird like parallels there too um yeah parallels that Dolores herself points out later in the episode you're just like me you're somebody that's being pulled along on a narrative and you don't even know it people want to control you so i think that's very apt yes absolutely and i'll just go down it's i don't think that Cal's a host but i do think that the writers suspect that we may think that and i think they're just i think it's just them throwing something at us to give us with theorizing i don't think that's going to be the case but we'll see so Cal goes to see his mother but before he can leave the hospital a couple guys with guns show up and they want to get info from Cal on Dolores they bring him to the edge of a building and then they open up his mouth and you see he has a little implant in there which i think was hinted at in previous episodes where we keep seeing people put these little chips in their mouth so i think virtually everybody in the world has these little devices uh that i'm assuming are sort of like cell phones in your mouth which i'm assuming we'll all have in the future hopefully soon perfect but they they hack into the implant and they increase his heart rate to the point where he's in the brink of a heart attack they hold him on the edge of the building and they want information about Dolores but we know Cal we know he's not gonna give her up in the meantime Dolores asks to learn a little bit about Cal she sees that he is in a life-threatening situation and then i believe she hacks into one of the robots one of the construction robots which walks over you think the robot is gonna help Cal and then the guys just throw it over the edge of the building which was pretty hilarious but i think that was just a tactic to buy her time so she can show up herself and kill those two men thus saving Cal was that robot was that like Cal's boy robot that was a thing that i didn't know that was just a random one that Dolores uh had had like activated to go do that to buy her time that does make sense to me that you said it that way but at first i didn't know if it was his you know dude that he rides the elevator with right the one that he was sitting next to having lunch i think it was one of the promos for the season two all right it might have been so alternative explanation is that that robot saw it was going down and wanted to help his friend but he's a construction robot he's not uh he's not a battle droid that that is it but but that's what a devastating moment for that like what a heartbreaking moment for that robot thing which is an interesting too that there's a way to break that down too he's a construction robot he can't break his own uh mold if he's on a path that was predetermined for him and and i don't know you see every robot no matter how unimportant seeming has an interesting backstory this season they're all sympathetic even the construction droids i can't even talk absolutely so in one of my favorite moments of the episode which actually made me so glad you're talking to me tonight because it reminded me of one of your favorite lines in cinematic history which is uh from reservoir dogs you know the line i'm talking about uh stop pointing that gun at my dad no one we're in that we're there in the car and he says cut off his finger the little one let's go get some tacos so here after this uh tragic or near tragic moment they've been through a lot cal says to delores those guys were willing to kill me to get to you you must be into some pretty bad stuff and then she says you must be hungry let's get breakfast so they sit down on a diner and she shows him a transcript of his worst memory we saw flash flashes of this earlier in the episode where you see cal as a child watching his mother walk away you see ice cream spilling everywhere so we see a transcript there we find out that his mother got up left him at a table alone and then i believe her name was sarah one of the waitresses walks over and he keeps saying to her she wouldn't leave me she's coming back she wouldn't leave me this horrible memory and delores shows us to him so he'll understand the awful invasion of privacy and the horrible thing that insight is doing with the rio bowam database she explains that this is an algorithm that is not just about who you are but about who they'll let you become and we find out that we're living in a sort of dystopian future here they're not just predicting behavior but they are setting the path for all humans so we get an even better idea of what's going on here when they walk to the peer together a peer that is important in cal's past she shows him a tablet that gives cal a social score says things like marriage not recommended it lays out that he will always be a construction worker he'll always be a petty criminal and not only that he is going to commit suicide in 10 to 12 years and she gives him a choice she says i can give you money you can go on the run or you could start a revolution with me why are you telling me all this cal asks and delores explains exactly jeremy what you pointed out earlier you and i are a lot alike they put me in a cage too they decided what your life would be and you want to break out of that so and what triggered this for her is that she saw these two men were going to kill cal he didn't give her up so i think delores is starting to learn that hey we're not all horrible not all humans are evil and cal says i'm a dead man either way at least this way i get to decide who i want to be ironically he also says to the lord to delores you are the first real thing that has happened to me in a long time so a lot to take in there jeremy just reactions to this revelation uh did it hit you as hard as it hit me watching cal hear this prediction about his future yeah that was a tough scene for sure again another awesome job by uh by erin paul there um i did i don't know i'm still kind of iffy on the you're the most real thing to happen to me line is being a little like two on the nose i guess um unless this is a simulation for delores and cal really is the delores the only way it could be worse is if you said you know i walk around and i feel like everyone's robots are the least robot person i've ever met right and they both have like the other parallel that i was thinking of with the delores cal thing is that with the with the parents obviously having their own issues especially since delores says that the the mom they called it schizophrenia or whatever she says it in a way that implies that it's probably not what really happened maybe she also had some massive amounts of code stuffed into her brain that overloaded her head and you know similar to delores's uh mr abranathy there on the farm um but yeah the scene emotionally was really good i'm i still think that you're too real or whatever he says line it was was a little much but i do like the scene it did make me kind of excited for you know whatever the next step is for uh for the two of them definitely and i so much to say about the scene because i love how i keep i keep going back to this but season two ends delores's plan is to overthrow humanity i'm not really on her side with that but by the end of this episode i'm with delores if this rihoboam insight thing is doing what she says then i want the revolution and all of a sudden i find myself cheering for delores but the thing i wonder is she seemed pretty hell bent on essentially genocide destroying the human race here it seems like she really only wants to go after the evil humans and i wonder if humanity really does fit into her revolution plan or is she lying to kaleb and if she's not lying if truly she's not out to destroy humanity what changed her view or did i misunderstand her view in season two uh i i think i'm with you i think she might be lying to him a little bit i think i mean the the obvious parallel i guess is what she is doing in the real world is what william did in you know west world where there's some we were never really sure what he was doing until we got to the end of season one or two i guess depending on the way you look at it um and i don't know i i still think unless there's some weird timeline stuff going on i do think that her main mo is to just you know show humans at least draw the parallel between they think that they have choice but really they are no different from her right if not destroy everybody we'll see yeah right now if i take her at face value i'm on her side but there could be something going on here where this is all part of a plan she's somehow cal is useful to her and she just sees some role that he'll play or she's telling the truth and uh we'll see either way i'm worried for cal him getting involved with the loris is a little nerve wracking i kind of him getting more jesse vibes this is similar to him getting mixed up with walter white and gus so we'll see i also love how this paints cal's character in a little bit of a new light i think we knew he was dealing with tragedy in his life we knew he wasn't the happiest person but i did look at him as a very hardened and confident person twice now we've seen him stare down a gun he also offhand mentioned that he has been shot in the head before but looking back at it that could be confidence it could also be a little bit of apathy if a decade from now we know what he's likely to commit suicide at this point in his life he might be letting go a little bit of life itself he might not care as much and i think it just adds a layer of tragedy to to his character and which just leads me into the capper which is i am loving this show this season i am rooting for every character or at a minimum i'm interested in every character and i sympathize with every character which is a total opposite of what i was dealing with last season so big fan of tonight's episode have been a big fan of the season so far a couple of other stray thoughts the music has been great this season and it feels a little bit different every episode too in the first episode it felt kind of synth sci-fi heavy it reminded me a little bit of blade runner here it sounded a little bit more orchestral um different takes in the westworld theme and i thought that worked great uh other random thought last episode i missed the cal delores storyline i'm such a fan of the cal character but they did such a good job establishing the new bernard and a new ashley stubs and i found i missed them this episode so i'm pretty much invested in every storyline we're seeing here which which is great uh jeremy any other thoughts on tonight's episode um i am just given a quick glance i took some notes during i think we hit most of the stuff oh you know what i just a just a straight thought on the how much i hate the rahoboam being named that because every time someone says it it reminds me of like i feel like it's gonna be a twist of of like an alucard Dracula thing you know like it the name is so clunky that there has to be some weird thing like oh well if you reverse all the letters it spells out like i have been delores this whole time you know something like that like it's such a like why would you do that why would why would it be such a clunky name like that right right um that's that's really the the only main thing that we didn't that we didn't actually hit i actually did hear i forget what it was exactly but i think if you take arnold or bernard's uh fake name that he was going under when he was on the run there is if you scramble the letters it does spell something like bad arnold or it's not that but it was something of that uh some of that so like it's awful it's an awful there's no reason it could just be random i don't want to google it and then find out that it's like oh well in ancient Greece that was the computer that ran everything but really it was you know and it gives away what the plot is because i don't want to write well do you know the true origin of the of the name rahoboam absolutely not no i was hoping you would because it is um something you would learn about if you went to ccd for example or some sort of bible study so i wouldn't know about it uh my parents are don't tell me ccd teachers yeah rahoboam is the son of solomon and the grandson of david this is pretty much all i know so i can't really tell you all all i know is solomon he was the one that did the whole you know two mothers arguing over the the baby which or whose baby it is and he says all right i'll split it in two and then the real mother is the one who's okay with it because a real mother would be willing to give up her child if it meant saving the child's life wait but who is who is real bone in that story so solomon the one who said uh i'm gonna cut the baby in half right solomon's son interesting so maybe there was a previous database that kept cutting babies in half yeah i mean i don't know that so there is like a fidelity thing there right so charlotte and real charlotte and or real william and fake william are gonna have to face off and who's gonna kill the code and the one that says kill the code is the real i don't know maybe i don't know what you want it what you want it will have a better develop theory for for our next episode uh but with that i think we can wrap it up jeremy how did you feel about that that was your first you've been on one take
