WestWorld, S01E07- Tromp L'oeil

Oh boy. Y'all must have been waiting for this for like a long time, right? This is reminiscent of the Mad-Eye reveal, although not quite so long in the making, and I bet you have all been so excited to get here. Let's start of with the less-spoilery stuff, which is mostly centered around William and Dolores. William is falling for her, and he says that he's never felt this way about any woman, using the phrase, "You've unlocked something in me." To which Dolores has the very reasonable reply of, "I'm not a key, William. I'm just me." He is simultaneously falling for her and divorcing her from her own personhood (if one can use such a term regarding a robot) and I'm hoping that he starts to see how self-centered he's being. Maeve, meanwhile, is about to lose her shit when she sees her friend "retired". What's so upsetting is finding out that the whole production that lead up to Clementine getting decommissioned was a farce, and that Maeve is essentially watching them kill her friend for no fucking reason at all. And lastly...Bernard. Bernard the snuggly bear that we all were rooting for. Bernard the ghat-damn ROBOT. Y'all. I'm feeling so many feelings about this. Thank you all so much for listening, see you soon!
