Welcome to Watching Westworld, the official unofficial podcast for Westworld on HBO. I'm Jim. I'm Aaron and today we're doing the instant take for season four episode two titled Well Enough Alone.

Aaron, what do you think of this episode?

This episode was interesting and it moved the ball forward in a lot of different ways. I found it is getting this in my first watch. I just got done watching it five minutes ago.

I found it kind of confusing about where people were going and why.

But I found like like all the connections like I'm not exactly sure I could explain to you why Maeve and Caleb ended up at the premiere of gangster world.

I'm not sure I can explain to you why Christine was driving to New Jersey. New Jersey?

I'm not sure why I can't pronounce New Jersey any longer. Perhaps a fly got into my tear ducts.

But they're taking big fucking swings like they just they just co-opted the president United States.

Yep.

On top of Senators and what 249 other I think when they're referring to these they're talking about host replacing people in key positions.

So it's like one of those things where like that the ideas are big and bold. It's just like we're in the middle of this kind of mystery and I'm not.

And we're catching up crucially to things like as Maeve knows what the hell she's doing and.

But I don't I don't I don't quite have it. What about you?

Yeah, no, I think you're right. There were some either things I missed or like things I should understand for previous episodes.

And I'm just not picking up on that are pushing them along in this story.

But I really appreciate the way it was keeping mysteries.

But at the same time it felt like it was moving everything forward, right? I didn't.

I didn't feel like it's it's playing games for games sake. It's more like well these characters have information we don't.

But these other characters are trying to figure it out along with the audience. So I'm cool with that.

I thought it was really effective storytelling here. So yeah, I really enjoyed it.

There were a couple of like cameos or appearances of people that I noticed that I really enjoyed to like the senator is the dad.
