Welcome to Watching Westworld, the officially unofficial podcast for Westworld on HBO. I'm Jim.

I'm A-Ron.

And today we're talking season four episode four generation loss. This is the instant take, so we have just watched the episode.

A-Ron, what do you think?

I thought it was really good, because it's the perfect three-step Martin reveal.

You know, there was rumblings of what was happening in the first episode or two.

There was people with pretty definitive theories in episode three that they just then played all the cards to kind of reveal the truth of that stuff.

Which now we got to figure out what is the next thing to kind of wonder and ponder about.

But I liked it. There's a couple things I found surprising. There's still a couple twists in the timelines and what they were doing that took me by surprise.

I thought the action was really well shot.

Yeah, I was gratified to see my theory that Mae was the weapon if it was proven to be ultimately correct.

And yeah, just now the questions are, now do we know what's going on?

There's still a lot of mystery in Christina's world.

But it seems like Caleb is injected to kind of answer some of those questions.

But yeah, how the hell does humanity get themselves out of the pickle?

The way I understand it is everybody that Bernard and Stubz met in the Paklip the Wakesland has already been infected by flies.

How do we make it out of this sticky wicket? What did you think?

I mean, I think the obvious answer is we don't.

I don't think that's a story they're telling.

It seems more and more apparent that like, you know, with everybody, everybody fucking everybody on the show becoming a host at some point.

It seems like that's the story they're telling, right? Humanity being usurped by some new form of life.
