Westworld The Well-Tempered Clavier (2016– ) watch online HD

This is the episode where everything finally clicks. Many of the season's outstanding questions are answered, and the underlying narrative is exposed. The final ten minutes of the episode is a cascade of reveals, twists, and turns. In my opinion, this episode manages to outdo episode 7, which is quite an accomplishment. One truly remarkable thing about the episode (particularly the final sequence) is that there is a real sense that anyone can die, and someone will.

Of course, while it is easy to focus on the fantastic closing to the episode, it is important not to forget the rest of the episode. Even without the ending, it's one of the better instalments so far. It checks in with most every major story-line, smoothly weaving them together and bringing them all to a crisis point.

If Westworld runs as long and as successfully as HBO's current flagship show (Game of Thrones) has, this episode will be looked back on as one of the series' best, and the moment that cinched it as the new big show.

This is definitely the best episode of any TV show that I've watched. Acting performance, scenario, dialogues, picture, and yes of course, the story is just brilliant, genius. It made me write this review, my very first review, just because I am stunned. I really hope show will continue to surprise like this, it can become the greatest show ever in my opinion. Also, I liked the way it was directed. It was fast, with context (memories) changes to keep attention all the time. 60 minutes of pure joy. A masterpiece. Dialogues are deeply developed making every conversation very real and meaningful. Finally, Anthony Hopkins did an awesome job as always, perfect actor for this role.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger

This is the best episode in the series so far. This episode drops another twist in front of us that has been hidden throughout the series.

Anthony Hopkins delivers the best performance by far. His character is cynical , evil, and devilishly smart.

The amount of realizations in this episode is astounding. The ease at which this series tells its story is wonderful.

Pros: Great performance by Anthony Hopkins, stunning plot twist, clever realizations, and masterful storytelling

Cons: None

Overall Rating: 9.8/10

Amazing episode. The best of the season, along with episode 7.

Westworld has established itself as one of the best shows on television and "The Well-Tempered Clavier" is an impeccably well- written and acted TV hour.

+ Ramin Djawadi's score + Multiple time frames confirmed + HUGE Bernard = Arnold revelation + Jeffrey Wright and Evan Rachel Wood in specific were amazing tonight

• Don't know how I feel about Maeve's story thus far. She being able to control the hosts seems a bit lazy and too easy.

I would rate it a 9,5/10 but since I can't, it's a 10/10 from me.

This season of Westworld has gone by fast, as did this episode. Much like the last few episodes, I'm not sure I entirely gathered all that happened and was revealed. As expected, this week focused on Ford and Bernard's relationship and history. Or should I say, Robert and Arnold.

So, yes, the Bernard is Arnold theory has finally been confirmed. It's fun theorizing about this show, but I almost wish that I didn't constantly hear about the dozens of theories about this show so that when big reveals like this happen, I'm not totally expecting them. Although, it wasn't the blink and you miss it reveal from a few weeks ago, the Arnold-Bernard twist was well thought out, and something obviously planted since the beginning. Nonetheless, this revelation helped cement plenty of other things as well. Dolores killed the original Arnold? Was this what triggered the time loop that Ford keeps referring to?

Again, sometimes it's hard to truly see the intentions of this cerebral show without watching it more than once or just looking harder than we are likely supposed to. But one storyline that is a little easier to follow along with, is Maeve's. What an arc she has been on since the premiere. I honestly didn't think the show would choose to focus this much on her, with everything else that's going on, but how can someone not be excited to see what her "army" has in store for next week. Especially now that she has Hector fully on board.

The popular timelines theory became a little less obvious this week, but only because it's becoming more evident that the presence of William and Logan are simply just Dolores exploring her past. Yes, I do believe William is in fact the Man in Black, but the timelines are shown more as memories and not as different stories the audience is forced to put together. More or less, I think the phrasing of the "timelines theory" should be changed.

Either way, this season is building towards an epic finale. What exactly does MiB have planned for Dolores in the present? How close will Charlotte and MiB get? Was this the last we will ever see of Jeffrey Wright? Will Ford die? Will Maeve be the one to do it? Is Elsie really dead? How much will be set up for season 2? It was quite the episode by Michelle MacLaren, I can only hope next week will be the same.

+Theories confirmed

+Slow and methodical, yet incredibly effective

+Maeve & Hector

+Dolores unlocks the maze

9.1/10

Bernard is analyzing Maeve; however she dominates him instead, showing her power. William is tied to a chair asking Logan to let Dolores and him go. Logan stabs Dolores´ belly and exposes her mechanical components to show that she is a robot. However Doleres shoots the soldiers and flees and William promises that will find her. Bernard asks Dr. Ford to recover his full memory and uses Clementine to help him to get information from Dr. Ford. Bernard learns that he killed also Elsie. Meaves make a deal with Hector showing that she knows his past and his future. Dolores has entwined visions of her present and past.

"The Well-Tempered Clavier" is another intriguing episode with many twists and revelations of "Westworld". The confrontation of Bernard and Dr. Ford is maybe the most important part of the show. Arnold´s identity is finally disclosed. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "The Well-Tempered Clavier"

Another packed episode - Maeve reveals to Bernard that he is a host. Bernard confronts Ford. Teddy has a revealing flashback. Charlotte meets the Man in Black. Ashley investigates and meets the Ghost Nation warriors and much more.

If you're reading this, you've bought into it, you're already nine episodes in and know the broad strokes of the story. Directed Michelle MacLaren, 'The Well-Tempered Clavier' is another sterling episode, what's excellent about Westworld is its consistency, with the acting, writing and production values remain high. The acting is at times wonderfully subtle, once again worthy of note is Anthony Hopkins' Robert Ford and Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores Abernathy. Also Jeffrey Wright's Bernard wonderfully comes full circle here.

Amazingly as straightforward entertainment it also plays out as part mystery and plays with moments in time as we see flashbacks and flash-forward's. Writing this episode are Dan Dietz & Katherine Lingenfelter, here Dolores' original father has the same photo of William's fiancée in an earlier episode. It suggest that either the two guests, William and Ben are robots and are part of Ed Harris Man in Black story. Or that what we saw when Dolores' father looked at the photo was a scene that takes place in the future, possibly along with her in the empty room showing the fate of the park. Or something completely different.

This is the beauty of Westworlds over arching story by Jonathan Nolan Lisa Joy it prompts theories as it unravels. As well as the above William's and Ben's relationship reaches fever point, with Will killing dozens of Hosts Confederates. In another twist Dolores' finds out who killed Arnold, Arnold finds out who/what he really is, all the while Hopkins' Ford reaffirms his position with a backdoor code, along with Ed Harris' Man in Black showing his hand to Charlotte.

An excellent penultimate episode and a great piece of TV.

I spent two hours to watch this show , yes ,that is not live TV.

Many story lines get into original point "Arnold". Many confusing things clear out. The Dialogue is excellent,the conflict of the Hosts and their creator reach to the peak. Especially last ten min dialogue , that make me feel shame as a human being. " We are only humans ,Evitably ,we will disappoint you".

I was supposed to rate it 10, The scenario ,and acting performance is amazing ,but there is bug confusing me. Arnold is Bernard. If Arnold is one of the founder of park, his Pic and Credit would be shown in everyplace ,anyone would have known him. He not supposed to be mystically.

Perhas the Writer will wrap it up in the next season or something. Or Maybe Arnold working in the cooperation secretly so that no one see his face expect Dr.Ford and other man shows in the Pic.

The show continues with its many story-lines, secrets within secrets and personalities and identities within identities. It just follows the topics introduced in previous episodes and sometimes falls into muddy-we-will-just-complicate-for-the-sake-of-it exposition style, but it is a very strong episode and the show keeps delivering.

Teddy discovers there is more in his past than he 'remembers', the Man In Black With A Hat just wants to keep playing his particular game and doesn't care if the world burns in flames if he is left alone, Dolores is trying to connect to her past, Maeve is working on 'its' robot-raising, and Bernard and Ford have a very interesting conversation.

The whole episode basically centers around Bernard and Ford's confrontation and it does a great job of piling surprises, twists, little moments and a quite strong dialogue. Of course, it helps if you have Wright and Hopkins delivering it. Jeffrey Wright is just doing an amazing work as Bernard, and, here, continues raising the bar.

The rest of the episode is really good too, but it just seems to be there to put the little details for the last episode's showdown and to tease the viewer with little secrets and details. The production, direction and acting keeps being top-notch all through.

*SPOILERS BELOW!!*

This series had me and I'll probably watch the last episode just to see the conclusion, but after episode nine "The Well Tempered Clavier" I'm pretty disappointed with the recent plot twist of the host Dr "Bernard Lowe" being created after "Arnold". Created in his image with coding to mimic his actions. What I find awful about this plot twist is that anyone coming to work at the Corporation would have known what Arnold looked liked. He was a founder of the company. His pictures and history would have been everywhere. There is no way anyone working there would have been fooled by "Bernard" especially those at the board level like Theresa Cullen who in all previous episodes was completed deceived by Dr. Ford. Because of this revelation all previous interactions make no sense and it's my opinion it ruined the entire series. What was an extremely intellectual TV show that kept me hungry for the next installment has now been thrown in the junk pile of mediocrity. Bo.

Review (with Spoilers)

Topic 1: William Snaps (William, Logan, and Dolores)

After Logan has pushed William to get into Westworld so bad, he finally has. He has fallen for Dolores and when Logan hurts her, but she gets to escape, he tricks Logan into thinking he has returned to normal. Truth is, he is broken beyond repair and after wiping out all of Logan's hosts, he decides to use Logan to help him find Dolores once more.

Commentary

Lack of development. To me, that is the problem with, not the hosts, but the guest. Who are they outside of Westworld, that is the reason why Billy's drastic change makes no sense. We know he worked his way close to a position of power, is to marry Logan's sister and get a say within their company, but what else? He is as barren as a newly born host and it makes it hard to get into his story. Even with the madness of Logan to try to push you to care. For it all feels rather cheap. Let's pair this naïve and almost innocent boy with a madman and watch him be pushed to the point he eclipses his provocateur.

Topic 2: The Truth (Dolores, Bernard, and Ford)

It is revealed Ford made Bernard in Arnold's image and Dolores is the one who killed Bernard. Also, the maze may just be the old offices of Ford and Arnold. Well, at least the entrance may just be that. Oh, and also, Ford has Bernard kill himself for he tires of the fighting and looping, he just wants to get his work done.

Commentary

I'm not going to pretend I wasn't shocked to learn Bernard was made in Arnold's image. But, like with William, there is this feeling that Westworld doesn't know how to build up to things really. At least in terms of emotion. Yeah, it can build up to a violent moment, but it can't stir up your emotions and manipulate them to a point where you are truly shocked. All that is applied are just twists. Twists which don't come off for pure shock value, but when a show pretty much tows the line when it comes to sci-fi storytelling, it makes a handful of twists, sometimes just thrown out there, like Elsie's death, sort of uneventful. You expect them to happen but just don't know what exactly will happen. With that, it is hard to be excited for you are drowning in your own theories vs. getting lost in the story.

For while, as noted in many an episode, it is the actors who make this show more than what it is, and certainly is the sole reason I can fathom for the hype, take that away and what does this show really have? Sex, violence and your usual HBO fare. Nothing of substance really, there is nothing but pure entertaining. In a way, it is like we are the newcomers and they are the host. They may have these finely written backstories, but at the end of the day it all is mechanical and feels so predetermined that you'd have to be of the mindset of William to be fooled into a state of enchantment.

Things to Note | Question(s) Left Unanswered

How are things handled when someone quits or gets fired?

How many members of the board are in the park?

Teddy dies and we learn that MIB, or Mr. Flood, is on the board. Also, he is one of the reasons Ford has been kept in power. Though he is a bit indifferent about his position as park director at this point.

Maeve is still recruiting.

Arnold wanted to release his creations out into the real world.

Elsie was killed by Bernard.

Crossroads...

At first, we were guessing that Robert Ford is a good guy after all.

Then we see what he makes Bernard do to Theresa Cullen (so, Bernard is not human after all???) and we reroute our guess that Robert is the true evil and he will sacrifice all that comes his way to keep the Westworld safe which is like a son to him than entertainment.

Then we see Maeve Millay getting stronger and opening the eyes of Bernard to the situation that he is not a human, then Bernard pushes Robert to give him his memories back only to surprise us with the fact that Bernard was a human once and killed by the very thing he created called Dolores?.. Man!.. The screenwriters could stop playing with our minds!!1! (No, don't stop fellas. I like it much this way.)

We see how our minds operate to the point that we have to call some of these things in the Westworld human at one point, not because they look like human but they start a consciousness one way or the other and act however they like it.

No, we are probably wrong there too. They are directed by the voice inside their heads... And this seems like madness.

After all these revelations I can still call Maeve human though as she seems to have his own mind, body, soul / consciousness structure...

So, Maeve, go get girl!.. (What!.. I am evil.)

(After the 10th episode I will evaluate the first season; but I can say a few things about this episode without any spoiler. - Teddy is my little star... And he may have been Wyatt all along... or may he?..)
