While last Sunday’s episode, set in a futuristic city, was largely shot in Singapore, the locations for tonight’s “The Winter Line” were Besalú Spain (the World War II village), an airfield in Aqua Dulce, CA (where the WWII plane lands during the pre-credits sequence), and the former Paramount Ranch (which was lost in the big 2018 Southern California fires) standing in for Westworld. Matt Pitts and Lisa Joy wrote “The Winter Line” We spoke with the director of tonight’s episode, Westworld EP Richard J. The person he needs, is Maeve.Īnd by the end of tonight’s episode, after which Maeve brilliantly breaks the virtual machine that’s imprisoned her, all roads lead to the enigmatic Serac ( Vincent Cassel) who has big plans, not just for Newton’s character, but the rest of the world and Dolores. I came back to find someone who can help me, someone stronger who can stop her,” Bernard says tonight.

The real park, that’s in shambles following the fallout of season 2, can be seen through the eyes of Bernard (Jeffrey Wright), who has returned to concoct a plan to stop Dolores, “who is out to destroy the human race, enslave it, I don’t know what she’s planning” says the noble host.Īaron Sorkin Blasts New Yorker Profile of 'Succession' Star Jeremy Strong, Gets Support From Adam McKay New Yorker Responds - Update But soon after putting a bullet in her own brain, robot Maeve wakes up and eventually realizes, with the help of a rebooted Lee Sizemore (her former creator and architect played by Simon Quarterman), that she’s in a virtual rendition of the park and its basements.

Maeve wakes up this season in a WWII version of the Delos-owned theme park, with Hector, her spy-in-arms who doesn’t remember her. Maeve failed to cross over, but her daughter did. Prior to last Sunday, we previously saw Maeve in the season 2 finale of Westworld where she was killed alongside Hector (Rodrigo Santoro), as she led her daughter and others into the virtual heaven of the Valley of the Beyond. As indicated during the epilogue of last week’s season 3 debut, tonight was always going to be about the Thandie Newton robo-character. Just as the whole world is falling apart, that uncompromising, enterprising, anything but tranquilizing host is looked upon as a possible savior to right the looming wrongs which are about to be carried out by her fellow Westworld colleague Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) on the human race. SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains details about tonight’s Westworld season 3, 2nd episode “The Winter Line” on HBO.
