Ep.98: Westworld - 308 - Intacast

May 4, 2020

"Holy Guacamole!" cries Ashley Schafly as Westworld's season finale kills off key characters, does some serious soul-searching, and depicts the quietest of riots.

"Crisis Theory" felt more like springboard into a distant Westworld Season 4 than an end to Season 3, but that's not to say it wasn't full of big answers about Serac, the Man in Black, Charlotte, Dolores, Maeve, Rehoboam, and Caleb. 

Plus, Bernard finally got the episode he deserved, and tons of dudes got shot in the foot.
