The Westworld creators PROMISE that they know how the series is going to end:
“We have an ending in mind; we’ve had it from the pilot. It’s very emotional, I think. I can’t tell you exactly when that ending will come but I think for every season what we try to do is tell a chapter of the story that gives you closure and then opens a door to a new chapter,” says Joy. “The overarching question of the series is, what will become of this new lifeform? So I feel it would be irresponsible to not have an end goal in mind.”
(Although you could argue that the Delos parks were a kind of robot purgatory …)
Jim Acosta wants nothing to do with your nonsense “show,” Sean Spicer, now go away forever, please.
HEY, CBS, ARE YOU WATCHING WHAT IS GOING ON OVER ON YOUR BIG BROTHER FEED? BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING ON YOUR BIG BROTHER FEED IS NOT OK.

You know, I read “Westworld” recaps at the AV Club and The Ringer, and I’ve listened to a few of the Ringer “Recappables” podcasts about “Westworld”, and I still wish you were recapping that show. I will use that as motivation to finish catching up on “Game of Thrones” so I can read those for the last season.
That is so nice of you to say. I really like Westworld, and maybe if I watched each episode multiple times like I do for ‘GoT’ or I did for ‘Lost’ I would have some idea what is going on. But I honestly never get that “A-HA!” thing I get with other big mythological shows … and that intimidates me enough to prevent me from recapping it. It is definitely top on the list of “Shows If I Ever Have Spare Time I Will Recap.” Spoiler alert: I never get around to that list.
