“Parce Domine” (from the Roman Catholic antiphon which translates to “spare your people, lord”) begins digging into this by opening with the introduction of Gerald, a rich businessman/asshole living with his second wife in a beautiful smart house on the edge of the ocean - a smart house Dolores has no trouble hacking into. These elements didn’t stand out because the ongoing cowboy action was getting stale - instead, by exploring the universe outside the park, and the history that led to its creation, the show was poking at one of the biggest questions underlying its premise: What kind of a world, and what kind of people, would lead to the creation of a place of such violent delights? Instead, with Dolores Abernathy now beginning her war on humanity on their turf, the season premiere sticks to drawing us into what life looks like in a society where luxurious vacations for the rich, full of rape and murder, are only one sign that things have gotten dark.Īfter rewatching season two before digging into the screeners for season three, I’m coming into this season optimistic about what’s to come this year, because the most compelling elements of the previous chapter were all sequences that took place either deep in the park’s past or outside of the park itself. At just the right moment, when getting the hell out of our current reality sounds like a really good idea, it’s time to go back to Westworld! Though, if you were hoping for a surfeit of cowboy hats in the season premiere, you were definitely out of luck.
