Summary

Westworld's viewership is slumping, but our hearts are pumping. How can you not love a show that brings you horrifying glimpses of technological immortality? Or a show that examines time as a data point, rather than a linear absolute.

This Deep Dive examines Season 2 Episode 4, "Riddle of the Sphinx," and gets into the marrow of what Westworld is all about.

  • What are the three times we see Bernard visit Lab 12?
  • Who is the control unit for?
  • How are Elsie's clothes still clean?
  • Why is the Man in Black changing so rapidly?
  • Is Ford still running the show?

Get all caught up before we leave the friendly confines of Sweetwater and head toward Shogun World next week.

Take the plunge with us, then write in your thoughts at hosts@shatontv.com for Thursday's listener mail Telegraph.
