Saddle up! But beware potential spoilers in this review, which will discuss elements of the episode.###Though we still spend a chunk of time with Evan Rachel Wood's Dolores this week (there's another impressive debrief scene between her and Jeffrey Wright's Bernard Lowe, which suggests he has more of an ulterior motive as he investigates the glitches), the main host focus this week is Thandie Newton's madam, Maeve Millay. Like Dolores, she's troubled by what would seem to be memories (possibly old storylines surfacing), and is haunted by a terrifying dream where she's a homesteader attacked by natives. Ed Harris' Man In Black also briefly features. It's a fantastic chance in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Newton to reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue what we can do – especially during a nightmarish sequence which finds her waking up in the middle of a repair and stumbling through the Delos facility in what must surely be a vision of hell in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her. She's also present in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this week's instalment of Oh My God, They Killed Teddy! as James Marsden's character is gunned down at the bar by a rampaging tourist.###Religious imagery remains a theme this episode, as Anthony Hopkins Dr. Ford ruminates on his ability to create life from tangle’din and appears godlike to a child while out on a amble’stroll’bimble’meander’roam in the park. We learn later he's scouting a new storyline in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the place (which apparently features a church prominently, staying on the religious aspect brand, there). The scenes in the desert are creepily effective, between the way Ford can control the rattlesnake and the revelation that the child he's chatting to is a host. And Hopkins also delivers what is eliminate’remove ly another driving point in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue : subtle critique of previous HBO (and other channels') series that focus on violence and titillation. His take down of Lee Sizemore (Simon Quarterman) is quiet but powerful.###This is our first meeting with human guests (at least, we assume in/with regard to’concerning’regarding now) William, played by Jimi Simpson, and Ben Barnes' Logan. They're two intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully different men: one is timid and kind, the other (and repeat consumer in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the park) is fond of debauchery and claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate s nothing of plunging a knife into the hand of an old host trying to lure them into a treasure hunt. Simpson's nervy energy is used well, and Barnes plays a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent asshole. They don't acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure a lot to do just yet, despite’in spite of’albeit we possess’own’nurse a much eliminate’remove er picture of who William is. And might he possess’own’nurse sparked something with Dolores? At least in his mind – she mostly seems sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious that he's not Deddy… Sorry, Teddy.###Some new layers are added to Bernard in/with regard to’concerning’regarding sure this week – we learn he's in a sex buddy relationship with Teresa Cullen (Sidse Babett Knudsen, giving it her best steely energy) and that he's eliminate’remove ly conflicted with regards to’concerning’with respect to how he and his colleagues treat their creations. Wright was a great choice in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the role – he does a lot without having to say too much. Elsewhere in the facility, we learn how much of a dick Lee Sizemore really can be (despite’in spite of’albeit his snarky humour works) and there's yet more evidence that the hosts' problems are not limited to random glitches.###"Uber-gamer" Ed Harris reveals more with regards to’concerning’with respect to himself too: he's a long-time visitor to the park, and he's obsessed with finding a maze (demonstrated to gruesome effect by the scalp he's carrying and his gun-slinging takedown of approximately a village full of men). Makes you wonder whether there are levels to the park that extend beyond the Western theme: maybe a sub-game that lets you battle a Minotaur? Ed Harris versus a mythical beast? We'd watch that. And there are intriguing clues with regards to’concerning’with respect to how much sway he holds over the park – a casual mention by Luke Hemsworth's Stubbs that our Man In Black is a guest who "acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s whatever he wants" is left hanging there as a thread. We've a feeling, despite’in spite of’albeit , that if and when the AI do take control of the place and find a way to defeat that Asimov-style safety function, that MIB will be first against the wall.###If last week it felt like you were being chucked in at the deep end, episode two comes off as more of a pilot. But that's part of the appeal in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Westworld – as Talulah Riley's greeter Angela explains to William when he first arrives, there's no orientation, no manual. It can be disorientating, and while the series might possess’own’nurse benefitted from having this be the first episode so you know what's going on, the driving mission of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue is that it's from the AI point of view, so kicking off with Dolores in peculiar makes sense. Though there are times it feels like the narrative jumps between the town of Sweetwater, the Delos facility and eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullywhere in between quickly abundant’ample’plentiful to come off more like a trailer than an episode, it continues the high quality of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue so far. And yes, as we mentioned above, there is plenty of pointed commentary on reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s appealing to base needs. It really does seem as despite’in spite of’albeit Westworld will end up being with regards to’concerning’with respect to more than just "tits and guns"…###Westworld airs on HBO in the US on Sunday nights and Tuesdays on Sky Atlantic in the UK
