Westworld

Westworld Season 2 just keeps getting darker with Episode 4: "Riddle of the Sphinx." Recorded just minutes after the episode aired, this Instacast quickly outlines what we learned and the big new questions everyone is asking.

If you guessed Delos is trying to create eternal life, you're right. But did the project succeed? At least we now know what happened to James Delos.

Elsie's back, and Bernard's killed again. Or has he? Hard to tell with that wacky memory.

And we finally can agree on who Grace from The Raj really is. But how will she fit into the fate of the parks?

Episode 3 is usually right about where listener mail starts getting truly weird, and Westworld Season 2 is no exception. "Virtu e Fortuna" got all the marbles rolling around in our heads, and some fascinating topics emerged:

• Is Grace from The Raj related to Theresa Cullen?
• Is the AI creating it's own AI?
• Was Dolores ever a real human?
• How would Big D attack Fort Forlorn Hope?
• Why does Bernard keep changing his clothes?
• Is consciousness more of a spectrum than a switch?
• Could the Man In Black's elusive Door just be a passage to another park?

Episode 3 of Westworld Season 2 wasn't filler. "Virtù e Fortuna" is a vital link, the connective tissue that binds the bones Episode 1 with the muscle of Episode 2.

This Westworld Deep Dive explores:

• Who is the woman in The Raj?
• What is Ghost Nation's true purpose?
• Do Dr. Ford and Bernard share a backstory?
• What did Dolores accomplish at Fort Forlorn Hope?
• And why did she intentionally slaughter her army?

Plus, Gene fits all of Bernard's Season 2 scenes into a linear story and finds the massive blind spot in it all.

Roger returns to the podcast much soberer than the last episode as the Shatty Trio provide their instant thoughts of Episode 3 of Westworld Season 2, "Virtù e Fortuna". The world that Delos created has gotten much larger, and so has our Instacast, as we review the introduction of a new theme park, use our high school Latin textbooks to understand the meaning of the title, and ponder the connective plot points we witnessed. What does "Virtù e Fortuna" mean? What's the new park called? Who's that mystery woman? And how do you say "these violent delights have violent ends" in Punjabi? Fret not dear listeners, if there's a topic we didn't discuss, let us know and we'll explore it during our Deep Dive episode on Tuesday. Welcome back, Louis Herthum. We missed you. Now go kick ass.

Don't have time for the Westworld Deep Dive this week? Fast forward start to 55:25 for our most ambitious explanation of how Westworld came to be.

Big D won't call it a theory. It's at least a hypothesis.

Also on this supersized Deep Dive, we'll outline all the time frames you saw on Episode 2 "Reunion" and chip away at Dolores' secret weapon.

Roger treats us to a brain-blasting religious sermon, and Gene takes bets on which characters will succeed or fail

And finally, Big D introduces the thought process that made us question reality, stumble upon a massive realization, then completely lose our composure.

Catch our immediate reaction to this scope-expanding bundle of revelations. We'll discuss Delos' true mission, identify the "weapon" Dolores is seeking, outline the new rules of Westworld, and learn more about the game each character faces.

And yeah, that was Gus from "Breaking Bad!"

We were so, so wrong. Westworld's Season 2 premiere, "Journey into Night," piled layers of mystery atop a mountain of key revelations, and this Deep Dive dissects them all.

Also jump into what Delos' master plan is, whether Ford is still part of the park, and how Stubbs got away.

Trouble making sense of Bernard's flashback? We take a frame-by-frame look at everything it unearthed. And don't miss a fan theory so hot it couldn't wait for Friday's Westworld Telegraph.

Roger, Gene and Big D are back with a bang, baby!
