Westworld

We couldn't agree on Dolores' Five Pearls, the Man in Black's post-credits scene, or where the hosts went. So we went to the source. Roger scours a Lisa Joy interview explaining "The Passenger" and quizzes Gene and Big D on what the heck we saw during the Season 2 finale.

Also, Gene issues a massive mea culpa for all the things he got wrong this season. Big D apologizes for his flubs. And Roger kinda sorta says he might maybe have gotten something possible wrong. But also maybe not.

Some hosts reached The Valley Beyond. Some hosts reached the outside world. And some viewers reached the end of their wits.

Westworld's Season 2 finale, "The Passenger" brought back some of our favorite characters, but the twists and turns left some fans a little queasy.

Find some solid ground with us as we lay out what we learned, what questions remain for Season 3, and why Episode 10 might be the best 90 minutes of TV in years.

Episode 8 seemed pretty straightforward ... until listener emails and voicemails arrived. We missed a lot, and "Westworld" fans were there to set the record straight.

Let's take a different look at "Kiksuya" and answer the most complicated questions, including:

• Is host consciousness the result of intelligent design or simple mistakes?
• Was the Maze left for Akecheta on purpose?
• When did Dolores pass "violent delights" to Maeve?
• Was James Delos actually a fidelity test for William

Apologies for the rough audio on this one. We hope the amazing content makes up for it.

"Kiksuya" ranks among the easiest Westworld episodes to follow and the most emotionally powerful. But that doesn't mean it wasn't without mysteries to unpack.

How did Maeve communicate with Akecheta from across the park? What did she say? And what was the meaning when you dive a level deeper?

How much did Ford help Akecheta in his journey, and what are the different paths to consciousness?

We also examine Logan's role in Akecheta's discovery of The Door and learn how to pronounce Akecheta's name ... which Big D promptly forgets.

Take the plunge with us, then write in your thoughts at [email protected] for Thursday's listener mail Telegraph.

"Kiksuya" delighted "Westworld" fans who wanted the story a little slower, a little clearer, and with a little more heart. But it wasn't without big revelations that tie to the greater story.

In Season 2, Episode 8, we learn how the Maze keeps showing up in the park, see more of the facility William is building, expand Maeve's abilities, and begin to see what The Door could be.

Oh, and Logan is still naked.

Episode 7 heats up the Westworld debate as listeners write in to argue Charlotte could be Charlie; Dolores and Maeve are conflicting views of feminism; Angela really could charm the grenade off a horny QA thug; artificial intelligence is just waiting to spring its trap; someone's going to rescue the Man in Black; and more.

Voicemails start at the 1:02 mark and include the possibility we've only seen a simulated world so far, the idea Emily wasn't searching for the Man in Black in the first place, and another freaky message from Driver Bob.

This week's Instacast was extra short, so we made the Telegraph extra long. Bone apple tea!

Westworld Season 2 Episode 7 pulled the curtain from the Valley Beyond, so let's venture there and explore its implications. We'll tell you where it is, what's being stored there, and how Dolores can use it to battle mankind.

We'll also meet Farnold (or Fernarnold), the star of "Les Ecorches," and celebrate how intelligently Westworld re-introduced Ford's control to the series.

Don't forget Maeve and Sizemore! Can we call them friends? Big D makes a pretty good case while Gene bids a teary farewell to Peter Abernathy.

And finally, we'll go frame-by-frame through Bernard's rapid flashback at the end of the episode. Trust us, it's worth the painstaking dissection. Big ol' meaty hints.
