Westworld Les Écorchés (2016– ) watch online HD

While this season of Westworld has certainly had a few exhilarating moments, for the most part it has been fairly slow. That is, until this episode. It's pretty much non-stop action from start to finish, with several twists and no character safe. I was genuinely surprised at some of the people they killed off in this episode, which is a very rare thing for me. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I breathed a sigh of relief when the episode ended.

The episode also brings Anthony Hopkins back to the show in full force, and going into the episode I thought that it would just be a one-off appearance that would elate me in the moment but ultimately leave me unsatisfied and hungry for more (i.e. Kilgrave in JJ S2). Luckily, it seems he'll be in the show for at least a few more episodes, maybe even more. How they kept his involvement secret is beyond me.

If the remaining three episodes are anywhere near this great, the setup of the first six will have been more than worth it.

As if Two were not enough.

Forget about anyone following any story now, this is the end game.

BernArnold was in the center of the "Cradle", which we have heard tell that The Cradle is where the Host Backups... Uh, were.

Very interesting place, that. But you can only go into The Cradle in the form of a Control Unit. What and who and why BernArnold finds there is beyond the Pale.

Maeve also did not have things work out exactly as she wanted, but I think she reached an agreement of sorts with Delores: Who once again tried to foist what she wanted onto someone else, this time, Maeve. Maeve and Delores both have the ability to kind of nudge people/hosts into the directions they want. But where Maeve offers a choice, Delores offers coercion. Even when she herself had been given a choice, by Ford.

And William still thinks every host he runs into is Ford. William will probably not be meeting Ford any longer, unless he runs into one specific host. And this causes him some problems, especially with Hosts suddenly remembering what he used to do to them. Especially Lawrence. William is now just a loose end. But the story no longer requires Ford's direct involvement, it's going to play out for William on pure, Brownian Motion.

Hidden in this explosion and gunfight strewn episode, is the explanation of how Arnold was brought back. We saw previously, that any resurrectees eventually go mad.

Why hasn't Bernard gone Mad, if he's really Arnold?

Well, the reason for that is told in the middle of this violent delight. And it completes the explanation of the connection of Arnold to Delores to Barnard- To Ford. Yes, Ford is still part of this story, but how? It's something he told to Theresa: Ford designed every inch of the Park, and he's not going to let Delos or anyone else take any part of it.

But the Football was in Abernathy's head, and that's a fumble. Too bad for Hale, but I really don't want her to get her greasy paws on it anyway. It's like I mentioned previously, you have to choose who you are rooting for. Never liked Hale, but I don't like other people even more. Especially Strand. And there is still a chunk of time missing... But it is catching up rapidly.

Somebody else suggested that "Human lives don't matter in Westworld", but I guess that makes it OK what humans did to hosts in the first season? The only real humanitarian lesson here is that we teach ourselves that "all lives matter", and then truly act on that when it comes down to everybody and I mean everybody. But that's not a story that's being told in Westworld, what's being told in Westworld is Ford's story, "journey into night". And we just got handed be end game, so I intend to sit back and enjoy it.

Overall I enjoyed this episode. But it loses points for the absurdity of one scene. When Angela is in the Cradle and seduces the soldier into lowering his guard, I couldn't help rolling my eyes. How dumb is this guy? He knows she's a host, not a human. He's just been in a firefight with her and the other hosts, in which most of his comrades have been killed. He knows she's dangerous and means him harm. Yet he stands there gawking like a fool and lets her waltz right up and blow him to smithereens.

Also, the producers of this show seem to have an extremely exaggerated idea of how powerful hand grenades are. But that's nitpicking.

But, in spite of my quibbles I think I have finally found the key to enjoying this show. Westworld takes itself far too seriously. The trick is to not take it seriously at all. Under all of its philosophical pretentious, this really just the Sexy Killer Robot Show. It's smart, but not nearly as smart as it thinks it is.

The unanswered questions of the first episodes unfold gradually. Season 2 exceeds even my highest expectations. I can not wait to see the last three episodes. In my opinion, Westworld is laying the next foundation for becoming one of the best TV series of all time. In my opinion, Westworld sets a milestone with Season 1 and 2 so far.

A lot of development and the massive fight scene was great.

Charlotte has worked better as a true smart but icy threat than the speech-giver last season. It's nice to see Ford back, he's so awful in his actions, yet strangely likable. However, I'm getting a little tired of Bernard being run through the ringer. I know he has to suffer to evolve, but its getting to be a bit much. Liking Stubbs more. He's a bit more complex than most of Delos. I'm wondering if he'll ultimately help a host or hosts in some capacity.

I was disappointed that the meeting between William and Maeve was so short-lived. I wanted more dialogue between them. Also, we lost Lawrence. Still, it was a well-executed little fight sequence. Maeve's controlled fury was delicious. Plus, it did a good job of knocking William's whole view of life as a game down a peg. I also liked how this showed that Lee has become sympathetic to Maeve.

Looking forward to how things end.

This was the first episode of Westworld that truly had me on the edge of my seat with anxiousness. After the events of the first 20 minutes, I began to realize that none of the characters were safe. When the credits finally rolled, I sighed in relief as some of my favorite characters were now safe (for another week at least). This episode also saw Anthony Hopkins return to the show. Since I only expected a singular scene with Anthony Hopkins last week, I was gladdened when I discovered that he'll be sticking around for awhile. Needless to say, I cannot wait for episode eight to air next week. This show has completely outdone itself.

Hats off to those who were involved in the screenplay of this episode. Deep memory disturbances. I was blown away by the performance of Anthony Hopkins and Jeffrey Wright. Absolute solid second half of the season.

Finally Westworld season 2 is picking up pace, not that it was bad in previouos episodes, but it may seem to someone that it was rather slow progress from episode 1 to this one. You can really see "Nolan" in this one, it is action packed and full of twists and it constantly makes u question the very nature of all characters. We see it all in this episode, the blood the gore, the valley beyond is in sight, we finally see what westworld really is, not just the AI theme park but it is the eternity at its finest.

I'm declaring it now. Unnecessarily "complex" time skipping, cliché plotting, laughably melodramatic overacting, dumb summer movie action scenes, and riddle-infested dialogue has turned this show into a mess of epic proportions. I don't care that there are 3 episodes left. This season is a thumbs down no matter what else happens. There's only been one truly great (maybe even good) episode all season and that was the masterful Episode 4 "Riddle of the Sphinx". But this one? I thought the Shogun episode was atrocious, but this one is almost as bad. It's probably obvious the reason for the couple extra stars: 1 for Bernard and the other for the return of an old faithful friend.

Otherwise, this episode is arguably worst of the season. From Dolores' uninterpretable monologue-ing to Maeve's painful overacting to overly loud music to multiple deus ex machina moments to poorly staged action scenes and finally to a scene involving a female host and a male mercenary that defies all the rules of sensible writing, this single episode insults the viewer's intelligence on the level of the average Michael Bay movie, which is very much below average! To borrow and paraphrase a quote from a famous Seinfeld character, "Season 2 of Westworld...no awards for you!"

Girl seducing the guard? Really? Dolores walking around with a ragtag bunch of hosts overpowering a trained military compound? Really? Dolores cringy dialogue? Making everything unnecessarily vague and annoying? Carrot on a stick?

I almost gave this episode more due to the brilliant character which returned, but I absolutely hate Bernard. It's like, get to the point already. Every time they go off on a rant it's like oh my god not this again. Absolutely god awful episode and show as of late. The whole 7 episodes so far could easily have been condensed into 1 episode with all the useless things (90% of the season) removed.

It's funny, they walk around and talk and the plot has barely moved at all aside from 1-2 new revelations. Disgustingly pathetic, I'm done.

The only thing im wondering is how MIB is still alive, after he got shot 3-4 times in sensitive places. Hope he does not die. Bernard and Ford - back together - i mean literally together. Dolores is badass as always , but too evil and filled with vengeance, anger and desire to kill, torcher and ravage everything that she thinks it might prevent her from getting to the Valley Beyond. Finally we know the location of the valley - however we didn't hear what Bernard whispered to Charlotte Hale. - and is Bernard actually Ford? So any questions this episode has put to mind, that i lost count of them :) . The episode also tells the viewers what James Delos and his company have been up to all this years , and why the control unit is so valueable to them.

How stupid an military team leader has to be to fall in the oldest seduction trick in the book? Give me a break! What the writers were thinking? That was the childish thing I saw in this show and ruined for me.

I've been binge watching season 2 and it's been good, but watching number 7 was just very strange I thought something is off. The feel, the music, the sounds and even the acting is different. I believe the difference is caused by the director Nicole Kassell that is the only variable that has changed. This is the only episode she directed in season 2 and hopefully the last episode she directs. I have spoken!

The writers of cable TV's most thought-provoking drama continue to tell the story from the hosts' perspective. Although creativity points should be awarded for this idea, the further reduction of the value of human characters (with the notable exception of Charlotte Hale) continues Westworld down a trajectory that will probably further dog its ratings. A revenge tale through the eyes of Delores may have been a fresh idea briefly, but when paired with predictable tropes from this lead and other characters (such as Angela) the adjusted "perspective" starts to become stale. Positive notes: as always, performances are seamless, and Jeffrey Wright continues to weave a Bernard character that almost impossibly has more layers with each episode. Also, action sequences in S2 E7 make the hour fly by quickly. One can only hope from the evocative S2 E8 teaser that the final three episodes of this season will pull together a narrative that is more engaging and original.

Good fun I must admit but it's barely holding the story telling together! Some rather silly, cheesy and daft scenes just blow the buzz of Westworld.
