Westworld — Series 2 — Episode 5 Akane no Mai: A Review

8th April, 2019.


That’s actually a very good question: did you read this morning’s post … ?

It’s a shame if you didn’t: I put a lot of working those Teasers.

At any rate?

You’d realised I was due a visit from a repairman today: one due to rehang a cupboard door.

He was due between eight and one … 

But actually turned up quarter past nine.

And had the job done in half an hour.

You can’t complain about work like that, now can you … ?

~≈§≈~

At any rate … ?

That left the rest of the day free.

One spent having a healthy walk, jobhunting … 

Making videos … 

Oh, and towards this evening?

Catching a TV show.


But you’d possibly guessed … 

~≈§≈~

Episode 5Akane no Mai — opens by showing us the Delos security teams doing the clearing up of the bodies they’ve found: realising in the process that about a third of the hosts … ?   Have no programmed behaviours.

These host would not be out of control: as they’ve never been controlled.

Meanwhile?

A small group led by Maeve  have found themselves wondering into Shogun World: the park’s ultra exclusive exclusion section, modelled on medieval Japan … 

And much less tame than the regular park.

Maeve’s team are quickly told — by one of its few human members — that the reason it looks familiar … 

Is because that had to … borrow a few story lines.

And when Maeve (Thandiwe Newton) realises her powers aren’t working as they should … ?

She also finds that she seems to be developing a form of telepathy … 

Elsewhere … ?

Teddy (James Marsden) is starting to realise the depth of his feelings for Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood).

Only to find she … definitely doesn’t feel the same way … 

~≈§≈~

Now … ?

Am I tired, right now?

You betcha!

Am I also wanting to go back to Westworld for more?

Am I also wanting to see Dolores’ story, evolve?   Wanting to see how Maeve’s abilities, her hacked access to the park’s systems?

What’s in Peter Abernathy’s head?

Oh, yes!

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
