re: WESTWORLD Seasn 4 *season long discussion thread*

Finally watched ep. 8, really enjoyed it and the season, but I understand why this show is so polarizing. Also the 2 year gap between seasons is the biggest problem for me, its just hard to stay invested.

It seems to me that Christina is OG Dolores. Hale took her “pearl” after the memory wipe and inserted her into the supercomputer running the cities. Then Hale tricked her into writing the stories for the humans by creating a fake life for her. Christina’s “awakening” in season 4 is very similar to Dolores’ awakening in season 1. She breaks out of her loops and realizes something isn’t right.

I think this is right. Again I wish this show was easier to follow at times, but I did love the plot of this season, it felt like a twisted, nihilistic, and ultimately apocalyptic version of I, Robot (book not movie). Would love to see a season 5, but not wait 2+ years for it.
