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!

The driving question of Westworld has always been about the nature of choice. In a world where the principal players are hosts and humans, the matter of choice has always been the defining metric of delineation between the two. A human can choose who they want to be, what they do, and ultimately who they become. A host can simply be reprogrammed by a human, the surface argument was, so by the very nature of that reality hosts do not have any real choices of their own. 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.

We are coming to the end of the road for Westworld‘s second season, but luckily HBO has given us new photos from Sunday’s episode to lessen the pain! The finale is titled “The Passenger.” It is written by showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy and directed by Frederick E.O. Toye. There is no synopsis at this time.

Above, we see William (Ed Harris) – possibly right after he cuts into his arm – but at whom (or what) is he looking? Check out the remaining photos below the cut!

“If you keep pretending, you’re not gonna remember who you are.”

Westworld season two’s penultimate episode (I know, I can’t believe it either) took a dark and fascinating look at choices, and how those choices determine who you are. Of course, it’s not enough to choose – you must accept the consequences of the decisions you make, and – hopefully – learn from them. Believing choices don’t matter, or blaming them on someone else, will ultimately make you unable to grow or to change.

In a episode with plenty of tragedy, there were also small moments of triumph as the hosts make their way to the Valley Beyond. Everything is coming together in preparation for next Sunday’s finale, so let’s take a quick look back at “Vanishing Point” and see what we can discover along the way!
