Welcome to watching West World the officially unofficial podcast for West World on HBO. I'm

Jim. I'm Aaron. And we're watching, we just watched season 3 episode

2 title The Winter Line. A. Ron, having thought about this for a grand total of zero minutes, what do you think?

And doing some, uh, hiring out of our bunker setup in the meantime. I'm like maximum distracted. I so okay there's this episode

had a lot going on. Some of it I liked some of it I'm not sure about.

I thought some of the big idea stuff and how they made Maves experience in the simulated world like interesting was was neat and I

thought that was cool how they did that and I thought I thought some of the humor

like there's like a slapstick scene with documents that I really really enjoyed

But then that double D that double D's cameo yeah. Huge mistake.

You know, sometimes like even if you're a type of person that enjoys fart humor and like, you know, if your buddies or your mate like cuts a fart, it's like,

ah, it's funny games, that's fun. You know, it's fun.

Every once a while they'll they'll rip one so fucking rank that just hangs around and it just makes you

angry. Like I said, I'm I kind of enjoy cameos type stuff I don't it doesn't take but this one I didn't I didn't appreciate I don't like it very much I thought it was no I mean how could you after the last season of Game of Thrones like everybody the majority of people like I know some people like yeah the the final season of the game of Thrones the final two seasons the game of drones but I think the vast majority of people disliked it and so to muddy up to bring that muck over into my

west world which is already slightly on shaky ground after a rough season sure too. It feels real, real silly. I didn't like anything about it.

And so that I didn't like and then I thought some of the stuff with Maeve monologging about being in a simulation

bordered on self parity. You mean the Rick and Mordy episode we watched just now?

Yeah, so like I actually liked the, there's like this dual mystery of, you know,

Mave is in Warworld and she's trying to escape and she's not in a spot she should be so that

Bernard could get her and we thought like I thought that my understanding of that stuff like pivoted two or three times I thought was kind of like at first

I'm kind of rolling my eyes like oh my god I can't believe I have to put up with

diluted mave then I'm like oh mave's not diluted by everybody else's then the simulation thing and then

Bernard and Stubbs trying to track her down I thought that stuff was actually pretty
