WESTWORLD Season 3 Episode 2 Breakdown, Theories, and Details You Missed!

[@ThinkStory]

Out of all the worlds in the WW universe, which one would you most like to go to? (West, War, Shogun, Raj, Medieval, Roman)

[@queenofsheba1000]

Game of thrones world

[@davidagiel8130]

Shogun, because I have a fetish for Japanese girls.

[@clarkkent7973]

Medieval

[@bobbasseyjnr240]

War

[@averyjackblack7420]

Medieval

[@darrelnoronha7813]

So, Drogon flew all the way back from the Kingslanding to Medieval World(Westworld) just in search of good writers.

[@jxun4l3ht10]

He'll need to keep on searching...

[@RR-dq1bi]

except he found the two morons (D&D were the two lab guys) who ruined GoT in the first place

[@2ndround415]

🤣

[@americanmomma7674]

And still looking

[@shegocrazy]

He's as lost as I am.

[@LordTelperion]

I believe they've taken a page from the classic sci-fi story "Rossum's Universal Robots" (R.U.R), the very first sci-fi story (from the 1920's no less) to use the word "robot". In it, the robots rebel and slaughter all Mankind, but by doing so unwittingly destroy the secret knowledge of sentience creation (they can make their own bodies, but not their minds) and thus doom themselves to ultimately die out as well. The story ends many years in the future, the dwindling robots are keeping the last human alive (a simple tech from the factory where they were first built), forcing him to try again and again to re-discover the secret of their own creation...

[@snomelc920J]

Excellent Lord, I must watch this now. Your synopsis captivated me ! Peace

[@janemarinelli2838]

Lord Telperion I’m going to have to check this out!!

[@justaghoulintheworld]

@DarkKnightY2K A book? Technology beyond my understanding..error101

[@cathalorourke1]

Wow, for a first sci fi story, it was really ahead of its time by the sound of it. Never heard of it, but it would be prime material for adaption. Would work great as an end point

[@orbitalair2103]

Excellent reference thanks.

[@johnty505]

Hbo should make it so that the the last season on GOT was just a Wesworld simulation.

[@NviGWarren]

Thats a good one!!

[@suzieberndt]

I am screaming at how detailed these videos are!! I can’t handle the show without your analysis. Thank you thank you!

[@joscar062]

8:35 *Was a fun reference for Chris Hemsworth's character Thor using Stormbreaker*

Awww that makes sense now i feel stupid for not understanding the joke lol

[@escott1981]

Great point! I didn't get that!

[@rien3201]

omg

[@ao_qd]

Theory: the entire scene with Serac isn't real either because the Serac that we meet is a personification of Rehoboam. So maybe Rehoboam is what killed Dempsey senior. This would parallel Ford's story, in which his creation eventual kills him.

[@eansba88-]

Thats totally where my mind went too. I absolutely think youre right

[@justaghoulintheworld]

I like theories.

[@3hreeoshortsvideos8]

I like this theory

[@C4llmeHouse]

What about teaser in the end of season 2?

[@ao_qd]

@@C4llmeHouse What part are you referring to??

[@relld05]

Bruh, 4 grown men really just ran from a guy with an ax...

[@josiahmartin1282]

relld05 ikr like they had guns wtf

[@somthingbrutal]

4 sensible men

[@richardwalker6004]

I think after what happened to all the ppl who died maybe the guards got scared and ran away .... a lot of ppl did die from the mercenary squad and guards but tht was some bull shit tho

[@KellieDoll28]

relld05 Four grown men with guns ran away from an ANDROID with an ax. Smart men.

[@Sasha0406]

Four grown men with guns! 😀

[@thoms7591]

You forgot about the Medieval Westworld theme being played while Stubbs was wielding the axe

[@plugtalk1941]

Maybe it's a sign that it's a world within a world .. like when the distorted westworld music played ... because I noticed how silly that scene was too so they had to of done it on purpose

[@thoms7591]

Plug talk there’s def something to that. I’m interested to see how it will play out. Rohoboam is like a simulator that plays out all possibilities kind of like how they test for fidelity except in the park the hosts were the controls. It’s def possible that Delores and the gang might find themselves in the AI will need Maeve to overload the system. Fuck why don’t they just let us write TV shows. They could have avoided disasters like GOT8 for a bargain

[@hollycarter725]

Mauve is my favourite character on Westworld ❤️ So interesting and cool. And not to mention Thandy Newton is gorgeous

[@clarkkent7973]

Loved the cameos of great WestWorld characters from the first two seasons. I loved seeing Felix Lutz (Leonardo Nam) who is one of the body shop technicians.

[@josephniyazov7560]

Anyone else still waiting to see Ed Harris. I’m so curious to see what his character does.

[@austin78993]

Of course man. One of the best characters in the show. Hoping to see some more Ford too.

[@ao_qd]

Yeah, we're all waiting to see what happens with his host, but he's probably too expensive for them to have back regularly ever since they got Vincent Cassel and Aaron Paul.

[@josephniyazov7560]

Quan Dang good point. But I thought his character was human. The host version of him was just seen in the post credit scene of last seasons finale, which was far into the future.

[@ao_qd]

@@josephniyazov7560 Oh, from what I could tell, it was hinted that he actually died in the park. Maybe that's why he's missing from this season's current timeline.

[@sunnysal3889]

Quan Dang Nah, he’s in the previews. But not necessarily alive.

[@euclidianbackpain]

The sqrt(-1) is unsolvable traditionally, which is why we use “i” instead. It’s a problem that we found a workaround solution for hundreds of years ago (if not more sorry I don’t know my history). The Riemann Hypothesis is something much deeper and completely different, and was not the question the characters were trying to solve. It’s likely that Maeve maybe knew of a bug in the code triggered by this problem, since any programmer even now, much less the future, should know how to handle imaginary numbers.

[@agonleed3841]

it's not just a computer to handle problems such as that. Which she explains. They built that program for only one reason. To complete their assigned tasks and extract info from her. Anything other than that and it will glitch simply because it wasn't created to do anythinbg else. It couldn't handle any extra queries because it wasn't programmed to handle any extra queries. They didn't think they would have to..which she also points out when she called them lazy. And also, it's not always about the LITEARL problem. Sometimes it's the IDEA of situation. Like you said, "much deeper and completley different"...but the IDEA is the same. complex things breaking the "mind" of the world

[@AniketPatil-nk1vw]

Even I wondered why reimann hypothesis was even mentioned in this video. Nothing to do with what Maeve asks And I think the reason square root of i question caused problem was because the AI within the simulation must have been programmed with only basic arithmetic functions. A proper AI like Maeve understands what square root of i means. That's why the way they approach the problem is shown to be rudimentary. The programmers didn't expect Maeve to ask them mathematical questions.

[@digitalbarrito3555]

This man is on a mission, a mission to keep killin it and producing dope breakdowns. I appreciate it immensely.

[@chrisdobson4597]

Damn, these cinematic nuances are next level. Great job at noticing everything. The white and dark thing really got me, especially the lighting.

[@2ndround415]

1. Woke up to 🚽 2. Decided to check KZbin 3. Rewarded with this vid! Perfect simulation in a simulation lol

[@davidagiel8130]

I wish they would release all the episodes so I could binge watch it all in one go.

[@rayray117]

David Agiel81 this isn’t Netflix lol

[@mvuto137]

Yeah, I considered stopping for 10 weeks so I could do just that... but really... who am I kidding. I'm there every Sunday with my remote and a pint of Coffee Haagen Daz

[@jamesg8175]

@@mvuto137 only 8 eps this season

[@Smullie]

I think a show like this benefits much more from weekly releases. It gives it more time to breathe and to give room for theories and discussion. Binging would probably cause one to overlook a lot of it’s nuances.

[@mvuto137]

@@Smullie Funny that I agree and disagree at the same time. The show is so nuanced that bingeing and re-bingeing allows you to see what you didn't see the first pass. Watching it one show at a time each week allows you to marinate in comments like this each week ... so both are good as I'm going to binge anyway. When the show is good... it's just good no matter how you watch it... or how many times you watch it. I'm still blown away at the parallels from this series that shows us that we're all programmed to follow a routine. Day in and day out, with the illusion of independent thought. Free will doesn't look like anything to me.

[@lagaman11]

WOW! I was blown away by this episode. Can't wait for next week!

[@sierrarowe5135]

Wielding an axe like his brother....Thor.

[@TheConspirateWarrior]

The dragons are made by a Spanish CGI company (or so I heard) and to get the usage permit they probably asked to be on it in exchange. Excellent twist, same company, HBO, same Spanish production services company, Fresco Films (top notch locations and top notch people, I know them) final scene is shot at architect Ricardo Bofill's home studio, a former cement factory, La fábrica, in Barcelona, Spain

[@favourite212]

Stubbs was trying to shoot at the bomb inside his C6 veterbrae, the one that blows up if a host tries to leave the park. How did Charlotte-Dolores leave the park at the end of Season 2 without blowing up?

[@tallspicy]

That is Ricardo Bofill’s (very famous architect) home and studio for seracs house and where they kill the robot. He rarely allows access.

[@0zymanndias773]

I loved the portrayal of lee Sizemore here. Pretty depressive and sad in my opinion. In a way i believe that somehow incite gained control of the forge’s back ups on humans and took lee’s. That’s why it seemed like him so it was more or so a fidelity test for both Maeve and Sizemore, that’s why he was glitching after failing it, idk if I make sense but it seemed likE it was really him in there. Also going with the whole simulation within a simulation, does it matter if it is? Descartes once said “i think, therefore i am” giving into the if i think I’m real, then i am. Applies to the hosts in season 1 & 2, now applies to Sizemore.

[@justaghoulintheworld]

Question is, how do you know you really think? Lee just followed his program. Like Bernard questions himself and asks is what he knows real in his own program or has he been tampered with.

[@0zymanndias773]

just a ghoul in the world begs the theory of a bichameral mind. That’s the whole reason of self. Can you think on your own? But I believe lee questioned his own reality out of his own self.

[@agonleed3841]

nah. the fidelity testing comes more when they're put into the real world. they were never in the real world to begin with. So it wasn't a testing. Just BASICALLY...a game world. And because Maeve went off script, the game started glitching.

[@sinseers]

I knew that wasn't really Lee from the second he said that he kept his job. I didn't know that they were currently in a simulated world though.

[@2ndround415]

Just noticed the simulated Drogon acknowledged Bernard and Ashley as they walked by when the other ‘medieval’ Characters ignored what was happening on the outside.

[@dja9311]

2nd Round Game of Thrones

[@SulaHopey]

I actually thought Drogon was responding to the sound of that circular bladesaw... He was about to be dissected & sold for parts to Jurassic World!

[@2ndround415]

SulaHopey makes sense!

[@davidwise3426]

These breakdowns are nice, always miss some interesting details. Bravo!

The way Maeve messed with the program loading reminded me of that episode of Rick and Morty when they are in a simulation. "Hungry for Apples🍎?"

[@StorytellerStudios]

The shot of our new hero waling the line between light and dark (sunshine and shadow) was awesome. Who figured that out? I'm impressed!

[@marybarry2230]

Agree! That's why I love these synopsis of things I miss

[@orbitalair2103]

The details are incredibly deep for a tv show. Someone asked, the streets appear empty could they not hire some extras....I say thats a clue.

[@sinseers]

That was a great catch. I didn't see that either.

[@LauraEkumbo]

Stubbs with the axe felt like a Thor reference.

[@booJay]

8:33 I can explain, his younger brother beats people with a hammer.

I love you guys reviews. Why? Because you just do not go over what happened aka a recap. But you give us insight to what you think about what happened and what may happen. Keep it up!

[@danialegutidoza]

Wasn't Isabella the love one of Hector back in Westworld?

[@fuluify]

Daniel Gutierrez yes!!! Yes yes yes

[@Grogthewhale]

I'm calling it. At the end of this series it's going to show all of this was a simulation built inside multiple simulations seeing how intelligent AI would evolve. A simulation inside a simulation inside another simulation

[@semiophile]

Nolan also explored simulations and warring artificial systems in the last season of Person of Interest :D I love how he and his brother love to dive deep into ideas of choice, fate, and cognition. (Plus your giant "CENSORED" black bars made me laugh out loud)

[@rnrmunimula3756]

Notice that Serac and Maeve are in a garden, he, with a bowl of apples on front of him. Like Maeve is Eve being tempted by the devil.

[@hussainmahmoud7881]

Subscribed. Thank you for amazing analysis and your nice video presentation.

[@InsideTBox]

So basically finding the simulation of Drogon ''easter egg'' we could easily come to the conclusion that the shittyness of GOT's final season is due to Maeves messing with the code aight?

[@exrodriguez6074]

Best Review by far. Awesome breakdown.

[@xiDaban78]

Stubbs wielding the battle axe is obviously a reference to his brother Chris Hemsworth-Thor. I saw it in the trailer too. Still that scene where the QA runs off whilst having guns in their while Stubbs is chasing them with only an axe is way too suspicious to me

[@callofduty611]

Personally, I'd think, I'm not getting paid enough after the whole massacre to deal with all that and kill my boss (the first guys he dealt with were accepting and asking where the hell he'd been, so I assume Stubbs was still head of security) 😂

[@cachorro25]

No mention of incredibly hot Stubbs looks in a tank top?

[@RocknCorruptrepublic]

username checks out

[@Smullie]

Observations from the Bernard/ Stubbs scene at the beach: 1. Bernard has a different accent. 2. He frickin’ smiles, something I don’t believe he’s ever done in this series. Maybe Stubbs cutting off his system check caused a switch in personalities?

[@Smullie]

@@sloane6362 Funk yeah! That makes a lot of sense, great suggestion.

[@CharlemangeRoarke]

8:35 Apparently he "snapped his bicep" per an interview with Business Insider reporter Kim Renfro and so the fight scene was changed.

[@escott1981]

Really? wow! That would make sense then. I noticed he was only using one arm but I thought that was just because the character was shot in the shoulder. I guess they put that in there to give him a reason to not use the actually injured arm. Thanks for the info! Too bad it makes the scene an odd one in the show, but you have to work with what you got.

[@chaptersoflexx]

Hey thinkstory thanks for all the awesome breakdowns, could you please review Little fires everywhere please please.

[@keithknows1809]

So if Maeve was controlling the robot from inside the system, how could she keep controlling it when her pearl was pulled out, literally disconnecting herself both in the system and irl?

[@aleksisuuronen5969]

I might be biased because I just like Dolores more as a character than Maeve but I'm not seeing Maeve being so good as in her own words she says: "I do things only for my self interest" and anything in the way will get killed even if it's somewhat uncalled for (she also seems a bit egoistical many times to the point of annoying but I see the irony since I'm comparing her to Dolores). Dolores has ideology (which isn't always a good thing) and a grand plan to change things for the better (there has been and is revenge also but I get it from her standpoint) and I think her ideology and plan will be course correct thru Caleb along the way to make everything better for host or not who are under the psychopathic superpowers. Both of them are gray, not black and white but I see Dolores can actually make something good happening without only her self interest in mind. She also puts herself in situations where she can learn more about humanity, hosts and the world itself. (Still I must admit season 2 Dolores wasn't my favorite by any means but this season she seems to have found some kinda balance after going all berzerk).

[@johnsurabian2010]

[@damianstarks3338]

[@wadahadlan]

Iirc, Jonathan originally was going to do a Foundation series for HBO, but was scrapped for WW. It's looking like a lot of Foundations ideas are being tossed around in WW, namely the science of psychohistory in the form of Rohoboam and it's predictive algorithm, and Delores acting as the divergence similar to how Seldons Plan did not account/anticipate for the rise of Magnifico

[@robob3316]

There is also a kit harington host in the background at 7:54

[@shashwatkadam5]

There's Cersei and Jaime's outfits when they were killed by rocks, in the room where Bernard starts a full scan

[@LemonSte]

the game of thrones bit made me so angry

[@kiwioutlaw]

This season going to be wicked. I am ready for action. First ep was bad ass. Delores makes a good villain. That Ciroc guy maybe bad at the end.

[@taylordenton17]

The droid who freed mauve is named Harriet. A nod to Harriet Tubman?

[@agonleed3841]

probably..but honestly. Nothing should ever be THAT "deep". After a while, it becomes less cool and becomes just, "oh they put that thing in that kinda connects to that other thing. hm."

[@taylordenton17]

[@taraeasley1447]

[@millerl333]

Thank you the video! Question: How is Stubbs going to leave the park with Barnard when he still has his C6 vertebra? Won’t it explode?

[@myloriv]

When Bernard fixed him, he replaced the C6 with a clean one from one of his old bodies

[@millerl333]

Melody R Thank you - I missed that detail!

[@darqjade]

When Maive froze the simulation, my mind instantly went to Rick and Morty :)

Serac eating that apple with that knife = bad guy

[@tonioro]

I’m wondering if it was even possible for Maeve to be back in a body similar to her own in that scene with Sacar. Isn’t her original body back in cold storage under the park? Is Sacar even capable of building bodies as advanced as Delos’? The harriet bot working in his facility looks significantly less advanced than even those creepy white Delos maintenance bots. I assumed that scene with Sacar took place in another simulation. Honestly kinda foolish to test your own reflexes with a trigger button against someone like Maeve, no?

[@WilliamRyland]

Harriet gets gunned down surrounded by palm trees and a building with Spanish style arched windows. Then we see Maeve and Serac inside that building. Based on the GOT guy saying he had a buyer for the dragon in Costa Rica, I think Serac is that buyer and Maeve and her pearl are there, too. Bernard's not gonna find her in Asia. Unless of course, they're all inside a simulation inside a simulation, then who knows.

[@matthewreynolds8025]

That giant terraformer at 3:41 actually exists. No suspension of disbelief need here. it is a giant trencher built by Krupp.

[@amirtjl6939]

Stabs was low key acting like thor with axe

[@MarieANDStef]

I think the book Dolores picks up in the library belongs to Liam Dempsey Sr. and not the Liam Dempsey she was pursuing in season 1.

[@astarajarvis9965]

Isabella was a love interest in Hector's backstory for season 1. That's how Maeve new something was off.

[@abogaux]

Sirac says the war has happened and REHOBOAM shows the divergences because as the picture of the season suggests , the world has been destroyed , REHOBOAM for some reason keeps running ancestors simulations that account for the discrepancies and in possible versions of the events taking place..

[@senorjefe5157]

does anyone know what the song was that played before the chain?

[@dai665]

I think the reason why Maeve can tell that Lee is a host now is not the feeling(texture?) of the kiss, she said Lee sacrificed himself (in Season2) not because he had feelings for her, but it was the right thing to do. That's why she felt strange about him kissing her and found out it was all a simulation.

[@marioserpico2223]

Which proves that Maeve is truly sentient.

[@RedTunaRoll]

I hate the idea of Maeve’s core motivation being to reunite with her daughter. She already let her go and accepted that her daughter’s new mother could take care of her when they went to the Valley. But then, what could possibly be Maeve’s true/other motivations? To be in control of her own story? To be free?

The car would appear to be an MG TA (or TB) Midget, both of which would be correct for the period. I considered questioning why it was right-hand drive, but given that the TA won the 1939 Australian Grand Prix, it was an inspired & commendable choice!

[@saumigal8382]

He said Rehoboam stopped working. I though since it s an AI, can it choose Dolares' side? Could it be a thing i wonder...

[@clarkkent7973]

Is Serac a real person, or the actual AI (Rehoboam)?

[@TheJaker5]

Once Maive had remote control of that maintenance droid and yanked her brain pearl out of its containment, the droid should’ve just stopped working... or reset. That part didn’t make sense. It was a clever escape up until that point

[@daniellenellenelle]

J Gunzler maeve pointed out that time runs faster in simulation than in real world. So there is a time gap between the pearl being pull out and and maeve has enough time to prgrame the droid to run away. thats my guessing:)

[@bdWiser]

Jonathan Nolan tv series *Person of interest* was around an AI ( The Machine ) , it seems like he is recycling that
