Saddle up! But beware potential spoilers in this review, which will discuss elements of the episode.###Dolores continues to reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue growth this episode, to a point that even William is taking notice. And we don't just mean when she eventually’ultimately reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s off her action wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile ass side in front of him. Finally breaking out of her damsel narrative loop, it's a healthy step in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ward in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the character who most embodies the evolution these "hosts" will be going through. But there's still time in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a quick check-in with Dr. Ford. Why, exactly does Dolores possess’own’nurse to be naked in/with regard to’concerning’regarding their conversation? It's not like she needed any repairs. It's an element that continues to raise questions in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , questions which continue when she, William and Logan reach the debauched town of Pariah, which would seem to be Westworld's X-rated Mos Eisley. We understand – it's a hive of scum and villainy – but there's abundant’ample’plentiful flesh on display here to rival your standard Game Of Thrones episode.###Some new nugacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s slip out here from Our Wannabe Hero and The Asshole He Thinks Is His Friend. Most notable is Logan letting slip that his fortune’property y family's firm’enterprise looked into buying Delos and Westworld, but that they hit a brick wall trying to research the place. Ford – and the apparently dead Arnold (we're still not 100% convinced he didn't somehow download himself) – were the topic of conversation in/with regard to’concerning’regarding several characters tonight, and Ford at least has definitely built a mystery around himself. And there is more of the bubbling animosity between the pair, brought to a head when Logan is captured by the Confederate soldiers they double-crossed and William leaves him behind. Serves him right in/with regard to’concerning’regarding that humiliating little speech with regards to’concerning’with respect to William's place in the firm’enterprise .###This week's Oh My God, They Killed Teddy! is… not Teddy at all, but MIB slitting Lawrence's throat! Poor Lawrence. At least we know he wasn't the merely’barely one/was repurposed/is secretly also the bandit El Lazo, who Dolores and William end up travelling with. And his loss is quite literally Teddy's gain as Lawrence's drained blood is used to keep the luckless cowpoke going. But by far the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous gest scene in his story this week has him meeting Ford at a bar. There's so much to unpack in their conversation, including the fact that the MIB sees himself as the true villain that Westworld needs. Could that be part of why he's searching in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the Maze? Does that unlock some further mode or part of the park? Plus, you possess’own’nurse the moment where MIB seems with regards to’concerning’with respect to to attack Dr. Ford, and Teddy steps to his defence. Yet more of Ford playing god with eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone in the park – except perhaps the MIB. Also intriguing? The talk of the world beyond Westworld: apparently, it's a Wall-E-style utopia where all needs are catered in/with regard to’concerning’regarding , except some deeper meaning. Which is where the park comes in, as a place in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the patrons to find some truth. Which sounds like marketing spiel in/with regard to’concerning’regarding "go hog nuts crazy with the sexing and the shooting and the destroying stuff."###Lots of questions raised in the lab this week too, including what Elise discovered in the "malfunctioning" host's arm. Apparently somebody is feeding data outside of the park. Bernard seems to intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully casually accept the news, so perhaps he knows more than he's letting on. Then we possess’own’nurse the "butchers", the techs last seen repairing Maeve. One has hopes of becoming something more (hello, recurring reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue theme!) and has been "borrowing" tech from the Behaviour Team to work on a side project – controlling a bird-bot. But he acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s more than he bargained in/with regard to’concerning’regarding when his techno-fiddling raises Maeve, who had been brought in in/with regard to’concerning’regarding more repairs, from her slumber. This probably won't end well in/with regard to’concerning’regarding him, but at least the bird, who we're calling Tweety, got to live again.###If you're after the instant gratification of some reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s, Westworld is eliminate’remove ly not the series to be watching. But this episode (which takes its name from a type of torture in Dante's Inferno – interesting, given the layers of the world), written by co-creator Lisa Joy, keeps the steady drip of inin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mation going. Peeling away the layers has to feel satisfying, and it's here that Westworld delivers. Just when you claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate you've got a handle on how elements work, you learn something new, which enriches the undergo of watching it. It truly is establish ing to something, even if it's tough to just watch one episode when you really want to know more as soon as possible. True, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding all of the manufacture rs' talk with regards to’concerning’with respect to gender politics, it still goes in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the nudity card a little too quickly (even the moment with Elise and the well-equipped male host in the lab doesn't quite offset that), but when it, like its hosts, truly comes alive, Westworld works. It's evolving into something great, and now that we're halfway through the first season, we're fully on board in/with regard to’concerning’regarding what the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue has to offer in the coming weeks.###Westworld airs on HBO in the US on Sunday nights and Tuesdays on Sky Atlantic in the UK
