William and Dolores

One of the main storylines of Westworld‘s first season was that of the ill-fated lovers, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and William (Jimmi Simpson). The finale revealed that losing Dolores was the catalyst for William’s transformation into the cruel and sadistic Man in Black (Ed Harris). Season two showed us some of the aftermath of William’s first visit to the park, including his changed attitude toward Dolores, and hosts in general.

While William and Dolores didn’t share much as much screen time together this season, Simpson and Wood still delivered wonderful performances that garnered them both Emmy nominations. In two new interviews, they share some of their experiences working on Westworld.

Dolores Westworld

Alas, the second season of Westworld is at an end…and what a mind blowing end it was! As everyone converged on the Valley Beyond, some hosts escaped to paradise, some to the real world, and many others died – perhaps to be born again? There were also tragic human deaths (RIP Lee and Elsie) and others not so tragic (good riddance Charlotte, Strand, and sadistic tech guy whose name no one bothered to learn). While we try to recover from the finale and begin the long wait for news of season three, let’s take a deeper look at “The Passenger” with new interviews and videos!

Yet as the byzantine narrative moved forward, it became quite clear that that explanation in its simplicity betrayed a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to have a choice.
