The bloody and shocking season Finale of Westworld gave us the wrong idea. After a pretty bloody and climatic shoot out Tarantino style ending, where most of the main characters had their brains all over the place, there weren’t many hopes for many fans to expect a second season. But gladly a Season 2 is coming back.
Especially to unsolve some of the mysteries they left for us. Since apparently, the robot takes over isn’t stopping anytime soon. It looks like we are going back to the wild west theme park populated by android hosts. As the second season is set for 2018 for another 10 episodes of rape, gang shootouts and revolutionary drama on HBO. That sets several moral and existential doubts and wonderings.
Watching the (West)world burn
The record-breaking show, written by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, will be coming back with a lot of surprises. HBO couldn’t miss getting another season of a show that has achieved being “the most viewed first season” for an HBO original series. One of the surprises will be which characters return. Due to the fact that probably almost every character in “Westworld” has died more than Kenny from South Park. But unlike Kenny, it’s kind of shocking to have them coming back for Season 2. Considering that we must be prepared to watch them get killed in a gory way once again.
Amongst the returning characters for the new season, Stubbs, as played by Luke Hemsworth, will probably be making a comeback. Even though that nothing is certain. When asked by The Huffington Post, Hemsworth said that Luke is alright. “Physically? He’s well. He’s doing alright. Just taking a sabbatical”. In the case of a comeback, there is no telling whatsoever on his new mental or situational status.
The only certainty
The only confirmed cast members that are certain to make a return, we have “The man in black,” Ed Harris, playing an older version of William. Also, a character expected to come back is Thandie Newton’s Maeve Millay, and Evan Rachel Wood’s character, Dolores. The show is based on the same name 1973 film. In the original movie, the androids had 3 different eras, and this may vary in the new season. This is something we may be expecting regarding the samurai android display on the last episode. Still for Nolan and Joy, took a rather different display.
Making the resort’s populated lifelike androids practically indistinguishable from human beings, each programmed in character for their assigned historical environment. In which for a considerable amount of money per day, guests may indulge in any adventure with the android population of the park. Including sexual encounters, bar brawls, duel, and even some bounty hunting.
