Indeed. Some clarity on motivations and players and whose side they're on.
And real violence has arrived.

So far the main quibble which DonDiego has had with the "logic" of the show is the apparent lack of security, suggested by Episode 6, which would allow Maeve to coerce Felix and Sylvester into "improving" her mental assets. Given the obvious requirement for security, like cameras and microphones, in an environment like the Westworld technical shops the ease with which she twisted the repairmen, and the ease with which they improved her seems unlikely.
Or, maybe, the security lapse will be explained later.


I don’t think it was very well developed. If you watch the last couple of episodes, both Felix and Sylvester make the point that Maeve is coming back to the body shop too frequently. Implying, that we haven’t been shown all the details of how the relationship between the three developed over time. Nevertheless, the underlying story seems to be that Felix helps Maeve because he is intellectually curious. Sylvester helps Maeve because he is cowardly like his namesake. As to there being no electronic surveillance, I think that is because they are both low level grunts doing routine repair work. I also suspect that they might be beyond suspicion since they are both likely hosts. Unless, it is a mere coincidence that they are both named after cartoon cats.

Episode Eight:
Most importantly my favorite host is back in this episode.


We learn the fate of one character that had been unknown. We learn a lot about the MIB’s life outside the park. And we get some clarification on Dolores & William’s timeline. Oh, I almost forgot as to Sylvester, sufferin succotash.
The series finale was very satisfying. Ford's new narrative is obviously going to be the basis for season 2. Towards the end of the episode we were also given a glimpse of Samurai World.
The series finale verified the supposition that "these violent delights have violent ends."

Apparently the filming of Season 2 won't even begin until Summer 2017. Season 2 isn't likely to commence until sometime in 2018.
The series finale was a work of art. Possibly the best single episode of any show I've seen

That interaction between Felix, Sylvester and Maeve makes more sense now. There didn’t need to be a lot of detail because Maeve was just following her new loop.
