Ausgewählte Rezension
Complete 180
I wrote in a previous review (episode 4, I believe) that this season had actually used the mess of the past two seasons (mainly 3) as a good groundwork for the new plotline the show runners had been setting up. It's hard to say they didn't have this entire thread built up, but based on the way things played out in the last season, it definitely feels like they felt the pressure of the looming chopping block and went back to the drawing board to completely take on this new season from scratch. Regardless of how they went about conceiving the main story this season, they definitely addressed their shortcomings in the execution this season.
Not only have the twists been unexpected enough that I had little idea of where the overall story was heading, but from a narrative standpoint, they haven't been throwaway, shock-value twists, they've actually benefited the plot (except, maybe, the twist at the end of this episode, but that remains to be seen) in a way that doesn't feel convoluted or gimmicky. In the end, it feels like the twists have capitulated what was (at least in season 1) a thrilling chess match between the park's creators, William and Robert, back into play. However, the game seems to have a lot of promoted pawns and new pieces with nonstandard move sets. That is to say, the stakes have been raised by incorporating more and more powerful pieces, and the variety of outcomes have increased by incorporating pieces that make the play much more unpredictable.
It's an enormous shift in the quality of writing between the seasons and even one significant enough to truly reintegrate Westworld into the canon of compelling television. What's more, here, in (what I believe is) the penultimate episode of the season, many of plotlines come to a head and feel like they are leading to (if not have already met) satisfying conclusions. It might be enough that even the weaker plot lines (Frankie, "Christina", e.g.) were still strong enough on their own that they had already been at least as well written as the better elements of season 3, but that they actually worked towards an even more tantalizing situation already puts this season leaps and bounds above its most recent predecessor, further, that it has proven them worthy of having stuck around and given them due attention.
As to whether or not that will ultimately be the case and that what's been built throughout the season will have a successful payoff remains to be seen, but at least it's been worthy enough of making the first 7 episodes worth watching, and this episode is no exception (perhaps even moreso than any other episode so far this season). Despite any shortcomings I may have felt regarding the final revelation of the episode and perhaps the overall execution of some of the action sequences (which says a lot about a show that basically built itself around flashy action sequences), I still feel this episode delivered on what has been a promising 180 in quality of storytelling and introduction of tantalizing twists. 8.5/10.
