The Mother of Exiles - Westworld S3E4

The Mother of Exiles Analysis

Welcome to Beyond Westworld, and boy do we have many Doloreses?
Doloresi? for you…


Our story begins with William aka The Man In Black questioning
the nature of his reality as Charlotte (further known as
Char-lores) comes to William to warn him of the impending
takeover of Delos. He is haunted by the memory of his dead
daughter that he killed and it is driving him insane. Char-lores
uses this to her advantage to have William committed, his status
on the board removed and his voting power transferred to the
acting chair which in this case is Char-Lores! Now committed the
Man in Black becomes the Man in White and truly has no idea what
is real and what is not, including himself.


Why do we say Char-lores? Well see at the end of Season2,
Haleores escaped the island with 5 Host Pearls in a bag. Haleores
made Char-Lores, who then re-made Dolores, who then made
Bernard/Arnold, Musashi, and Martin Liam's security head. But
what we learn this week is that Dolores, Char-lores, Martin, and
Musashi are not themselves. Wait for it. They are all DOLORES!!!
Pearl Blown! Turns out when you want to take over the human race,
the only person you can trust is yourself. Sadly Maeve, Stubbs,
and Bernard all find out this horrific truth in the most
non-opportune time.


Be sure to answer our park satisfaction questionnaire this week
down in the comments. What outward character will house
the 5th pearl? Will Maeve survive her battle with
Musa-lores? Will Bernard and Stubbs escape from Marti-lores? Are
you Dolores? Am I Me? Tune in next week for another vacation
Beyond Westworld!

  About HBO's Westworld

In 1973, celebrated author and filmmaker Michael Crichton
released Westworld, his visionary idea of what a theme park could
be as human-looking androids fulfilled our every desire. Four
decades later, creators Jonathan and Lisa Joy Nolan are taking
the concept to the next evolutionary step as Westworld can now be
‘fleshed’ out as a deeper concept that explores the vast array of
potential and consequence from such advanced technology. The
one-hour drama series is a dark odyssey about the dawn of
artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the
intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it
explores a world in which every human appetite can live without
limits, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged. The
cast of the series includes Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris, Anthony
Hopkins, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Tessa
Thompson, and more.
