In “Annees Folles,” the show revisits old stories to make way for new ones
It’s almost enough to get us to echo Maeve as she navigates William’s latest park: “They made a few changes but it remains the same.” And while “it’s the same old story” feels like a tired complaint, I am actually quite excited with the show looping into itself this way, spiraling in rather than out as it had done for the last few seasons. That’s why I was happy to revisit “Westworld” in the trappings of the prohibition era.
Of course, we also get an all-too-brief standoff between Maeve and William that reminds us that they are the Magneto/Professor X of this universe . May they structure the rest of the season accordingly. Although Joy, Nolan & Co. are setting up loftier ambitions than just pitting ol’ pals against one another. And it’s a meta-ambition as well: How do you revisit a story without repeating it?We went an entire episode without seeing what Christina is up to.
Someone is probably on this already but I’m dying to read an interview with Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan about the choice to turn the fly—which had, in the show’s pilot, first given us hints that something was amiss with Dolores—into a nano weapon of sorts. It’s both so simple yet so effective. In between Maeve’s control over all things electronic, William’s seeming invincibility, and Bernard’s ability to “see” the future, it seems we’re only a few episodes away from learning that Christina/Dolores will be bit by one of the flies and become some superpowered host who’ll in turn recruit the others for one final job, no?
