Westworld — Series 2 — Episode 6 Phase Space: A Review

13th April, 2019.

OK … now I come to look at the intro video … ?



It does seem just a little bit camp.

But at least I can say two things.

One … ?   I’m getting better at tweaking the audio on these things.

The only shame?

Is that I can’t copy the audio from a given iMovie project, put it into — say — Audacity, add some weird effects … 


And re-import it back.

One for the forums, maybe.

Two … ?

It’s Raining Men’s a fantastic song!

~≈§≈~

Moving on … ?

I have to admit, I was in Sainbury’s today.

And … 

Here … 

Basically?   Their self-service tills now have cameras attached.

Frankly?

I can understand a certain amount of CCTV.

But these seem a little too intrusive.

~≈§≈~

Oh, and finally … ?

Finally, I’ve managed to catch one more episode of Westworld, series two.

It’s OK: I’ve got an excuse!

~≈§≈~

Episode 6 — Phase Space — opens with Bernard and Dolores (Jeffrey Wright and Evan Rachel Wood) having one of their usual conversations: with a twist.

Dolores seems to be the one in charge.

Maeve’s group?   Maeve’s (Thandiwe Newton) group are determined to return to the main Westworld park.

Maeve is still desperate to find her daughter … but not expecting any twists … 

William (Ed Harris) and his daughter, Emily (Katja Herbers) are reconciled … only for Emily to find her fathers has abandoned her … 

The episode closes … with Bernard and Elsie (Shannon Woodward) at the Cradle: the server farm that contains ALL of the host backup and core data.

And is haunted by Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins).

Things … are going to get messy … 

~≈§≈~

Now … am I still enjoying Westworld?

Yes, I am, thanking you.

Although this episode seemed a little weaker than earlier entries in the series, it has shown us that the going ons at the park are more complicated than we think.

And?

Hmmm … 

I’ve not read any of the series two overviews available.

I’d rather NOT walk into a stream of spoilers.

But, right now?

I’m guessing Peter Abernathy — Dolores’ father — contains not the intellectual property of the park … 

But the memory patterns of a senior Delos corporation executive: and that at least one other — Ford — himself.

All of it manufactured to make the company the only group in this universe that can grant immortality.

We’ll have to see … 

But, boy … I’m curious … !
