re: Westworld S2 E10: The Passenger

William dying in the park and Dolores escaping to the real world she knew about are two things that I would have expected both seasons to be leading up to. Which is not to say that I predicted either of those things, I don't really expect the show to follow clean story arcs.

I think the use of flashbacks (or multiple timelines, as some people like to call them), has gotten kind of gimmicky at this point. They're obviously really hooked on Vonnegut and the idea of telling stories out of order for the sake of telling them out of order.

Westworld is probably still the most interesting show on TV for me right now, at least until Thrones comes back. But the Nolans are going to make you sit through their fart sniffing and tributes and homages to all their favorite directors and influences or whatever if you want to get to the end and find out what happened.

Anyway, I think it's great that Arnold's house is still in perfect condition and untouched since his death 30+ years ago.
