The meaning of Westworld Season 2

[@RighteousEpoch]

Maeve was a like a daughter to Ford and Dolores was like a daughter to Arnold yet it is interesting to note that Ford has more in common with Dolores and Arnold/Bernard with Maeve in terms of their drives/goals

[@ComicBookGuy33]

Agreed

[@heatherhaze3680]

I wonder and worry about the next great show 2 come once GoT ends. I can already feel the emptiness that this show will be leaving in my life!! I suppose the prequels might be worthwhile but i am really connected to so many of the characters in GoT that i think i might find it hard to accept new ones!! Luckily GRRM and HBo are masters of television and storytelling! But once there does seem to be a great show that tries to replace this series, this will be the first channel i look 2 for insight and explanations that i can count on and be entertained by!

[@vintagesummersx]

I disagree that the season demonstrates that humans can't change. Lee Sizemore was the perfect example that humans can and do change. A point they hammered home with his death especially.

[@vintagesummersx]

Just a small observation. So much respect for your work.

[@losjojo]

Vintage Summers I thought the same at first but realized that if put into said situation a million times his program would give him this outcome even if he thought it was a deviation from his drives, they aren't. It's to say that what you think is free will isn't, it was always going to be your decision.

[@RyanCreatesThings]

Whether someone can change and whether someone has free will are two very different things.

[@vintagesummersx]

@Bongo Supreme Agreed :) Free will versus determinism is a different debate entirely.

[@leungyohana7760]

However, seems Sizemore's "core drive"(human code? whatever) has been HIS STORIES since start. He lived for them, and he was just a pussy at the same time

[@robertosantillan913]

[@dimas3829]

what confusion do you have? It all turned out to be a programmed loop for the main character. The whole story is fake news. Dolores' program got to know what to come in some parts of the loop but it won't change anything. William is trapped.

[@robertosantillan913]

And thus the next shakespeare was born!

[@dimas3829]

+ThornInTheEye well, it turned out he truly was, the whole story is about his villain's journey and every programmed character is there to experiment on William. Tht's precisely the reason why Dolores sometime spoke nonsense like knowing the future.

I don't think Emily genuinely wanted to reconcile with William. She was playing him to get revenge. All the hosts were released from cold storage in last seasons finale. Clem led them to attack the board party. So Aki's wife was most likely in the park.

[@soufian2733]

Yeah she told William what her plan was before he shot her, I don't think there's more to it than that. I read somewhere that Maeve put Kohana's "code" inside her daughter's brain (with her admin access) so that she could go into the Sublime in the daughter's body.

[@slanguagefreak2388]

I thought she put a bit of her own code in her. Theoretically, since Maeve could communicate with all hosts, she could theoretically transfer all of them into the Sublime, theoretically even herself.

[@badhabbitproductions6810]

I don’t think so she seemed to have hope her and her father could still have a relationship because she lost that opportunity with her mother. But when he was truly accusing her of being fake and he started to act insane. She did a very family type argument where she brought up his biggest weakness and lied claiming she just wanted to see him suffer and that she really hated him because she was hurt and desperate. She had some hope for him and as it faded away before her eyes she lashed out with hatred and anger just like her father

[@ThatSlowTypingGuy]

"It's never explained why ghost nation captures humans." I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they let them loose at a beach where they would be rescued by other humans.

[@18thealien]

Not really sure what you meant about inconsistencies at the end. Bernard finishes Strand's sentence because he's reliving the memory and has already experienced it. He didn't actually finish it the first time it happened. Same with him "predicting" the flood. The flood has already happened, and he remembers it, but he's reliving memories that happened prior to it. As for what Dolores said about Teddy, she was just wrong. It's not an inconsistency to say something that doesn't end up happening.

[@rsheltonib]

So, much of what we witness - especially from Bernard's scenes - is just him going through his memory logs? I guess you could take it a little further out with some of the other scenes since he could, theoretically, have tapped into the camera feeds around the parks.

[@KRM1BRE]

exactly ! thank you

[@polyscient]

And since Charlores escaped with multiple host pearls, Teddy could be one of them and the story could still end with Dolores and Teddy in a future season.

[@18thealien]

Mike Thompson Nah any host who entered the Valley Beyond had their pearl wiped entirely. Opening scene of ep6.

[@slanguagefreak2388]

I agree. When she is lying with dead teddy, a scene shows her taking the bulb with Teddy's brain and the flattened bullet against it with her. What is interesting is that the same bullet ends up in Williams gun. That is something very weird. How does one not notice a mushed out bullet. Why would he put it in the revolver again and again?

[@stanj85]

I hope they address the other parks in the future. I mean, what the hell happened there while the Robot Apocalypse was gearing up? None of the hosts outside of Westworld made it to the Sublime.

[@meris8486]

Exactly, what the hell has been going on in the other four parks this whole time? Have none of the other hosts been given inner voices where they achieve consciousness? Why only Bernard and Dolores? are they the truly conscious hosts? What about the humans in the other parks? Wouldn't their be just as many?

[@me-timeline]

I wished they were explained in the season 2 'cause I aint watching no more west world crap no more, I have very limited time to watch tv shows and rather spend it on something more entertaining.

[@HakeemRDaud]

I just realised was there really no human guest in shogunworld?

[@Cj93od]

I can honestly forgive them stuff like this: 1. Narratively speaking: the Japanese hosts chose to stay in shogun world. Japan Maeve chose not to be woken up so she that her love for Japan daughter wouldn’t be impacted by ‘reality’. In terms of Raj World- none of the hosts there had any character development, ok maybe there’d be some fan service to include some people in Japanese and Indian clothes running towards the sublime if they did that people would probably be asking ‘hey where did these guys even come from?’ 2. MAIN REASON: shows like westworld are super expensive to make. Building more sets for Raj world and shogun world, paying more actors to play characters from these worlds, time taken shooting these extra scenes takes money and time (which also equals money). I’m sure Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy thought about stuff like this but sadly to keep shoes in budget and within the allotted number of episodes some less narratively important stuff like this, which was pretty much just fan service in the first place, has to be cut. Just the way things are. It doesn’t keep me up at night.

[@Megasterik]

The Wood I remember seeing a guest who said he came from China to enjoy this park and then a host cuts the guest's throat. I think there were guests in shogunworld but not as many as the original and centered park.

[@gicking3898]

Again, an excellent explanation, and a very well edited and produced video. One issue I caught was towards the end, with humans not being able to change, and being violent. Felix wasn't seen much, but he's one of the few good characters in the show. And amazingly, the odd couple survive to the end of S2. He's a counterpoint.

[@perspii2808]

The Leftovers is criminally underwatched, it’s genuinely the best tv show I’ve ever seen and I think your style of video would fit it very well.

I am very happy to find entertainment that is not superficial. I remember having to watch The Matrix 7 times before I was satisfied that I understood all the details and even then had to be alerted to Jean Baudrillard's book, "Simulation and Simulacra" (in which Neo stashed the illegal LSD simulation software he had written to help alleviate the boredom of the pod bound minds whose lives were controlled too much by the system) and a few other details the went right past me.

Great video! thanks for all the amazing information provided along this season. A bunch of hosts were released in the end of season 1, just before ford died ( by ford himself), that explain why kohana was seen in the "paradise" in the end.

[@Lupercal06]

I loved it! But it did get a bit chaotic in some parts. For me it felt like the writers wanted to avoid the viewers to guess the twists and ending, so they made it very cryptic with a lot of misdirection and that hurt the flow of the story and final payout

Two keys things you may have missed: In the 2x07 episode she said "i do what i needed to be, in order to survive". This is what Ford told her in 1x10 in front of Michel Angelo paint. "Do you know what you need to be? In order to survive?" And the most important: What drives Dolores is not just surviving. She wants reality. And what's real? It's what's irreplaceable (Bernard 2x01 Beginning, well Arnold said that). She used the SAME sentence in 2x10 in front of Bernard. "I want what's real because what's real is irreplaceable". She kills, destroy...and everytime if it does not come back , it means she's on a reality. She was so afraid to go back to her loop, she was even afraid that she was in season 2 in a loop too!

The one thing I do get confused by in this show is the concept that a self aware host can change but a human can't. A self aware host is just a human, they feel want, love and anger. Which means they'd be trapped in the same loops as humans. All the arguments against human free will are based on human feelings after all. They both lack free will or both have free will it's not a pick or mix.

It's without doubt that humans can change. The conclusion that I came to is that the failure of the Forge (it's failure to see that humans can change) is because it was designed by broken humans. Charlotte and the other Delos employees are single minded and ruthless. They won't budge or change. The Forge came to the inevitable conclusion that these people are trapped. Maybe something is wrong in how the Forge was coded. Maybe it is broken in the same way the humans who made it are broken. Westworld normally has great writing and for them to make the point of the story that humans can't change seemed absurd to me. Maybe that is the point of this season, to show the failings of the humans in this story. Or maybe the very writers of the show have a bleak and small minded view of humanity. I don't know. But I was quite shaken by the conclusion of the show. That means either the writers succeeded in giving me that impression or their writing that was once the best television has to offer has become small minded and unimaginative

Loved season 1 but season 2 was a confusing mess that made me stop caring about the characters and what in most shows would be the story. Its just a series of misdirection and twists for the sake of misdirection and twists. The nonlinear structure's purpose this season was to hide that dolores is uploaded into a host body of hale and then kills the real Hale. What does that do for the character arcs or themes of the show? The twist in season 1 was way better because it was important for william and dolores as characters and showed how the park brings out your true self. Westworld's questions lead to more questions and none of them have satisfying answers. You know how I know the show is bad? Both Evan Rachel Wood and Ed Harris said they had no idea what was going on while filming. If two of the four most important characters are played by actors who have no idea what's going on how is the audience supposed to understand it?

Honestly i have lost count how many times i have watched The Sopranos. I swear to god i will finish it and within a few months i am missing it again and have to start watching again. I have done this several times a year since it finished every year. So i have probably watched it more than 30 times from start to finish. I just can't find anything that matches the quality of that show, it is better than LOST, better than Breaking Bad, better than The Wire, it is just amazing considering it was a TV show, it was more like watching an extremely long movie broken down in to small segments than watching a TV show.

[@vishanthfishy]

Unpopular opinion I think the first season of westworld is a masterpiece not a single flaw. 2 however was wayy too confusing for no reason and you can really tell there was no endgame for these characters. This is a show more about it's themes rather than it's characters and it should have focused more on that aspect. Don't get me started on Williams arc this season. I don't care if it was unexpected and not predictable it was just plain disappointing. With a show that hammers home the message that Hosts are better than humans it would have been awesome to see William redeem himself like they were setting up but suddenly his arc changes to him going crazy over Fords manipulation. I understand the whole point of this is too blend the reality of Host and Human showing that Humans have a code that we strictly follow and that Ford is a God that controls everything. Would it not be amazing for William to break his code and defy God. I feel this season was a missed opportunity and should have just ended with season 1

I think that something important to add [8:43] is that the song that is playing (Codex by Radiohead) has a meaning by itself in the series. If you listen the whole song, at the end there´s a conversation, where a voice is in someone head, telling him things, I think that they choose this song in particular for that reason.

William never got his chance to change, he rejected Emily because he thought she was a host. She was acting odd because she had found his profile from the park so he had every right to be suspicious. In fact her goal was not to repair the relationship, but to destroy him by revealing what was happening in the park. He started his redemption, befriending Laurence with his fresh start, then Mave got in the way. A disappointing end for probably the second most interesting character in the series.

The best thing is this season was the acting, I am glad that Newton, Wood, Harris and Wright are all nominated at the Emmys.

Thank you for explaining season 2. I liked season 1 but season 2 was extremely convoluted and inconsistent. Also didn't like the season 2 finale. Hale turning out to be Dolores was the worst twist they could have come up with it just didn't feel right to me. It felt like they came up with it for the sake of having a twist in the finale. It felt like a bad twist. I won't be watching season 3 as it is even worse rated than season 2. Season 1 was the best. It was captivating. The show lost it's charm overtime. Also I don't like when you have to watch videos that explain a show. A show should be easy to understand. If you have to watch videos to understand a show it means your storytelling is flawed and overrated.
