WestWorld, S01E08- Trace Decay

I'm happy to bring you the next episode of WestWorld, and my apologies for having to wait another week before we got to it. I have to admit to a certain degree of impatience and frustration as we keep going down these plot-roads and still don't really get any answers. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the show, but by the end of this episode we've only got 2 left to explain everything, and I don't know what could possibly be contained in such a short time when we're working with storylines as grandiose as an apparent robot uprising and AI hidden among the human employees.I don't know if there's an answer to some of these unresolved plot threads that would satisfy me at this point, if I'm being honest, which probably means it's a good thing that there's a second season coming up. For now, I want to focus on one of the bigger reveals in the episode. We find out that the Man In Black found out about the maze during a moment right after he'd killed Maeve's daughter, when she attacked him back and carried the little girl's body outside and collapsed in the middle of the symbol gouged in the dirt. It turns out that the Man In Black was a man with a family, but his family was terrified of him, to the point that his wife finally killed herself because she couldn't bear to live with him anymore. They saw a darkness in him, and he decided to come to the park and let loose with his violent impulses to see if they were right. Spoiler: they were. Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode!
