Presumably still working with Charlotte/Dolores, William is after something - perhaps the Sublime Key that Serac (Vincent Cassel) wanted in Season 3 - though nothing about his endgame is clear yet. The second big seasonal mystery now, after Christina/Dolores’ new digs, involves Ed Harris’ William, who only exists in diabolical host form. Instead, the show has now shrunk back down to more grounded, human (not all cases) stories and dialed back the apocalyptic elements. Not to try and get ahead of the story too much, but all signs so far point to this being some sort of simulation, or even The Sublime itself, especially given that Christina's clockwork routine finds itself being invaded by a "unknown caller" (12 Monkeys' Aaron Stanford) who's desperate to find Christina and get answers about something called "The Tower."Ĭhristina's episodic arc wraps up with a blast of the past, which has already been made public (though I won't spoil it here, just in case), and while it's nice to see this particular character again it's not exactly the jolt of adrenalin or inspiration this saga needs to kick off the season, as Westworld’s a show some feel lost the plot a few years ago - or, in the very least, was growing in scale and building toward something huge.
In some regards, even less so.Ĭhristina's day-to-day is peppered with elements from Dolores' past - some being fun Easter eggs and some just being a more obvious crossing of streams with Dolores' life - as well as rom-com tropes, like a blind date and a roommate (Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose) whose only goal seems to be to motivate Christina to get out there meet her dream man. Whoever, or whatever, this incarnation is, her life is almost just as flat as her life was as a host in the Westworld park. You could compare it to the first two episodes of Marvel's Moon Knight where it was clear that Oscar Isaac's character wasn't experiencing a whole life experience, just leftovers and residuals.

The world Christina lives in, at this point in Season 4, doesn't thread into the other adventures this episode covers - that of William, Caleb, and Maeve - and on top of that it also doesn’t feel like a full existence. What We Said About the Westworld Season 3 FinaleĬalum Marsh gave the Westworld Season 3 finale a 5/10 for IGN, writing, "A few limp revelations, repetitive confrontations, and a major surplus of subplot has the unfortunate consequence of making Westworld’s third season finale feel both overstuffed and altogether pretty thin." She lives a simple, somewhat secluded life as a writer for a game company who specializes in NPCs and side missions. As "Christina" now, Wood’s character is the latest puzzle box to theorize about.
There's suitable action and intrigue - and of course questions that won't get answered until later - but “The Auguries” also lags in places, stumbling under the weight of a few retired gunslinger cliches.Īt the top here, let's address the Dolores in the room namely, how in the heck is star Evan Rachel Wood is back when Dolores, at least Dolores Prime, in her original host body, was toast at the end of the previous season. This season opener - titled "The Auguries" - is good-but-dry set up for the larger story to come, but as usual Westworld’s holding its cards close to the vest. Westworld, which is now a few gas stations away from its former buzzed-about glory, is back for a fourth season, unspooling a premiere designed to catch us up on four major characters and where they've now all landed seven years after the Season 3 premiere ended in global riots and chaos.
