POLL: Who Is the Most Human Character on Westworld?
We recently ran a story in which Angela Sarafyan, who plays (the original) Clementine Pennyfeather in Westworld, made the case that her character has the most humanity of all those on the show. That got us to thinking: if you put a gun to our head...
POLL: What Westworld-esque Shows Should We Be Watching?

The entirety of Westworld’s first season was devoted to the intellectually-shackled hosts shedding the limitations of their programming and attaining sentience, becoming fully-functioning lifeforms in their own right – or, at least, starting to, as...
POLL: Is Elsie Dead?
In episode 106, “The Adversary,” Elsie Hughes’s (Shannon Woodward) investigation into the strange glitches happening among the hosts at Westworld led her to a dark room. She contacted her boss, Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright)...
