You have to hand it to a show that makes itself so confusing, you need to spend the next few hours just trying to make sense of it – and yet this somehow makes it even more addictive (depending on who you talk to).
The season two premiere of Westworld finally landed back on our screens after a long ass hiatus, and promptly confused the living shit out of just about everyone.
If you didn’t catch up on season one, you’ll probably still remember that there were two (main) different timelines, that the Man in Black was William all along, and that Bernard is actually host made in the image of Arnold.
Well, that’s some goddamn child’s play, because last night’s premiere forced you to remember far more intricate things, like: how did Dolores become Wyatt, how much is Ford still in control of the park and his “new narrative”, and WTF did we know about the Delos board’s true intentions in the first place?
i forgot that westworld isn’t a tv show it’s just a weekly final exam for a class you didn’t sign up for

And that’s before we even got into things like, oh, two MORE different timelines, the faceless hosts collecting data on the guests, and what the hell is going on with all the dead hosts floating in the water.

So if you were intensely confused by the season two premiere, then please take comfort in that you were not alone. You can take further comfort in knowing there’s several dozen white dudes recording podcasts about the first episode even as we speak.

Can safely admit I have no idea what is going on on Westworld this season. But I won’t make the mistake of eating during it again.

The hour after Westworld should be reserved for someone to explain what just happened on Westworld

Spoiler Alert: I really had no idea what was happening in Westworld. Like, none.

Of course, not everyone is drinking the Westworld Kool-Aid. They’re wrong, but okay.
