Episode 3 is usually right about where listener mail starts getting truly weird, and Westworld Season 2 is no exception. "Virtu e Fortuna" got all the marbles rolling around in our heads, and some fascinating topics emerged:

  • Is Grace from The Raj related to Theresa Cullen?
  • Is the AI creating it's own AI?
  • Was Dolores ever a real human?
  • How would Big D attack Fort Forlorn Hope?
  • Why does Bernard keep changing his clothes?
  • Is consciousness more of a spectrum than a switch?
  • Could the Man In Black's elusive Door just be a passage to another park?
