    Storyline

    • Trivia
      At some point, Ford talks about the bicameral mind. This is a reference to Julian Jaynes' groundbreaking book, "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind." Jaynes' basic idea was that the corpus callosum, that bundle of nerves that ties together the two hemispheres of the brain, is a recent development. Prior to that, the only way the logical, rational side of the brain could communicate with the emotional, instinctive side was through auditory hallucinations, which primitive peoples interpreted as the 'voices of the gods'. The one of many examples given is of "The Iliad". Characters in the Iliad don't have any inner dialogues with themselves, there is no planning or foresight, and all their actions are undertaken from instructions given to them by the gods. As society and its situations became too complicated for this process to be effective, the corpus callosum developed and true self-consciousness arose.

    Complex Entwined Storylines
    "The Stray" is the third episode of "Westworld" with complex storylines and great character development. Dolores is having flashbacks from her previous lives while Tedy has a new role in the park. Many hosts are having abnormal behaviors and Bernard is investigating the cause. Theresa is worried about the safety of the guests and with Robert Ford that is changing the narratives of the hosts. Elsie is investigating the hosts and finds they have a conversation with the mysterious Arnold. There are so many entwined storylines that is difficult to comment the show with no spoiler. My vote is eight.
