This week Jordan and Jeremy discuss their feelings on Westworld Season 2 as a whole. Unfortunately, it doesn’t end up being all that positive. The big reveals ended up being predictable and the setup for Season 3 is just… not promising. They’ve let Westworld become a world with no rules. This will also be the...
This week Jordan and Jeremy discuss Westworld S2E9, The Passenger. In recapping this bonus-sized episode of westworld, we actually decided we’ll be splitting it into a 2-parter. This is the first Wild Speculation Corner-free episode of Analysis. We discuss people as books, the Forge, hints of The Matrix, bad special effects, Bernard’s weird brain, Hale...
Well, there had to eventually be a worst episode of Westworld and I think we found it, folks. Lame writing, sloppy acting, extremely forced “WHO’S A HOST” drama. After the powerhouse that was Episode 8, Episode 9 Vanishing Point was a real letdown. We talk through the pathetic loser that is The Man in Black,...
This week, Jordan and Jeremy discuss Westworld Season 2, Episode 8 Kiksuya, a beautiful side-story and pseudo recap spanning seasons 1 and 2.

Sign-up for our...
This week, Jordan and Jeremy discuss Westworld Season 2, Episode 7 Les Escorches and the slowly unveiling master plans of both Hale and Ford.

In wild speculation corner, we guess at what happened to Ford’s digital ghost...

Two lines from this week’s Westworld episode, Akane no Mai sum up the episode far more than we ever could: “Welcome to Shogun World.” “SHIT! NINJAS!” There wasn’t much mystery to discuss with this episode, we spend most of the episode on a fun side mission through Shogun World where Maeve discovers a “new voice.”...
This week on Analysis, Jordan sighs heavily through the entire back half of the episode, haunted by all the mysteries of Westworld. We discuss S2E4, The Riddle of the Sphinx, and the Sisyphean hellscape that is the digital afterlife of James Delos. Who’s in the red marble? What is William’s daughter’s objective? How do the...
This week, honestly, we’re almost too excited by the possibilities of the coming episodes of Westworld to wildly speculate upon them. I mean we do, obvs, but there’s some mild hesitation. What is stuck in Abernathy’s head? What does Virtù e Fortuna mean? Are the hosts all breaking down? Will we see pirates? We’re going...
