Westworld: Open your eyes! HBO just dropped a new trailer for tonight’s episode!
By Art Intel
Stay calm and carry on! HBO just dropped a new trailer before tonight’s all-new episode! Here is a quick review of the latest Westworld episode 7 trailer entitled ‘I want their world’.
*SPOILERS ARE AHEAD*
We see Dolores in a truer version of what she really is as she sat in a lab with Bernard and says: “I don’t want to play Cowboys and Indians anymore, I want their world.” At this moment we are shown a number of flashbacks showing the cruelty that Maeve, Dolores, and other robots suffered at the hands of humans.
The way that Dolores looks in her raw form, triggers the sensation of ‘uncanny valley’, which is when humans start to feel uncomfortable, as if the robots are too life-like, and it makes Dolores look even scarier than before.
It seems clear that Dolores’ narrative is not just to destroy Delos alone. She wants to go beyond Westworld and is planning to take the fight into the real world. Perhaps, this is why the hosts are all descending onto one location.
If you recall, Bernard has already taken Dolores into the real world several times and she passed as a human, so was Ford preparing Dolores for this global takeover eventuality all along as a proxy agent? Ford does comment that “The passage from one world to the next requires bold steps”.
Is Dolores’ judgment of humans clouded by her experiences of humans in the park, and will she ever be able to change her perspective towards humans?
Charlotte has managed to locate several Bernard hosts, which causes more confusion. How many Bernards are/were there, what was their purpose and why are there so many of the same model? Will she be able to maintain control, or will the robots take the upper hand?
It also seems there will be a lot of chaos and violent exchanges with many shootouts in this episode. Everyone–host and human–is now armed with weapons and at this point the number of hosts that are awakened outnumbers the Delos response teams so they could become overwhelmed if all robots turn on them at the same time.
It seems that MiB will be meeting with Maeve and Dolores in this episode, and things do not bode well for him now that the tables have turned. Will he be happy to see this change in Dolores–after all that is what he always wanted.
Will he claim to have been helping Dolores all along, as a form of ‘tough love’ so she would fight back and resist, in order to justify the atrocities he committed in the name of progress and plead mercy?
As he speaks with Maeve, he accuses her of being like the rest of them. He might be referring to humans, but she disagrees, stating, “I’m nothing like the rest of them”. It is clear that she is becoming extremely powerful as she controls the environment as well as hosts with just a sway of her hand, which Lee Sizemore points out.
Could Maeve have further developed her skills to control human minds as well?
The biggest battle scenes are set to take place inside Delos Installations, judging from the clips of mayhem inside the installations in the trailer. It seems that Ford and MiB may be playing the same end game, which is to help the hosts break out and escape into the real world.
