This is the Most 'Westworld' Has Ever Westworlded
I've been scraping the depths of my mechanical heart for a couple hours now. Really, there's nothing else to say. Truly. Deeply. Genuinely. Westworld has its swagger back.
Whereas Season Three ushered my pandemic nightmares, Season Four has gifted me the drunken whimsy of a boy who doesn't know any better in life, than to be delighted by host reveals each and every Sunday night, even if he doesn't really understand what's going on. Season Four, Episode Four, "Generation Loss," is the most Westworld to ever Westworld. At least during this season. After fans speculated that Caleb has been a host and/or would become a host for a solid three years now? Bingo. There it is. The Caleb storyline we've been watching this season depicts the moments leading up to his death. 23 years later, the dude wakes up and finds out he's been hostified, under Halores'scontrol. (Like the rest of New York City!) Aurora Perrineau's C is actually Caleb's daughter, Frankie, all grown up and working with the rebellion. Check out what Perrineau said to Newsweek about the twist:
"You know, I think her past...has definitely led her to where she is now, which is in this kind of rebellion, and I think that that's all just due to her relationship with Caleb, and clearly how much she loved him," Perrineau said. She continued, "I don't know if I can say much more about her journey, but I think that all of that really does [add to her character], the story builds into shaping her into this woman who will do anything for what she believes in, because I think that's what Caleb would do."
Sweet! Now, we have Season Four's endgame (hopefully) thrillingly in focus. The rebellion, hopefully reviving Maeve, will crash course toward Hale's world of infected humans. You'd hope that host Caleb will somehow break free from captivity and meet up with Frankie/C, reunite with Maeve, and save the day. Honestly, though? I don't want to think about it too hard. We have hosts. We have humans, even if most of them have been infected with robot flies. We have an entire subplot that evades any form of comprehension, with Definitely-Not-Dolores's dating adventures in dystopian New York City. It's just how I like Westworld.
