This show is really messing with our heads! Loremaster Kevin relishes in our confusion while Jennifer comes up with a tremendous theory about what this all means.

And then? Appetizers!

The back-half of Westworld Season One kicks off with action, orgies, and terrible decisions!  Ford keeps a secret family, Elsie is brilliant yet also a little dumb, gold-paint orgies and surprise-gypsies, Teddy shows off his badassery, and William helps Logan get some sweet, sweet comeuppance!

Also, as mentioned in the episode, it sure does seem like Yul Brynner made a guest appearance, doesn't it?

Two robots show the true potential of their capacities to kick ass, but only one of them made the choice to do so!  What is Dolores hiding, exactly, and why are the Hosts filming all of their sexual encounters?  Join us as we try to decipher the mysteries of Westworld and also copyright the idea of the VR Fleshputer!

Dolores has crazy dreams, but even crazier eyes, and somehow William is still enraptured by them.  Maeve's dreams are more like a waking nightmare, but one of these days she's totally going to get to the bottom of this!  Jeff still thinks William is going to head down the dark path, and we start to wonder if the two most-powerful figures in the show aren't coming across as pretty godlike.

If you don't think a bunch of robots fighting over who has to chop wood sounds like a great comedic moment, then you haven't seen Westworld! Join us as Loremaster Kevin once again gently guides Jeff and Jennifer through their journey into this live-action game that Jeff oh-so-desperately wants to be a part of (for the adventure, folks, not the sexy robots!). We ponder the strange relationship between Dolores and Bernard, the mysterious Albert and whether or not he's really dead, and what exactly is that "blood" that Elsie got splattered with??  Also, if you enjoyed The Stray and found Teddy's experience both scary and fascinating, go watch 2015's Bone Tomahawk. Trust us on this one!

If you consider yourself a knowledgeable Game of Thrones fan, be sure to get in touch for our upcoming trivia competition - we want you!

Jeff, Jennifer, and Loremaster Kevin dive into Westworld's second episode: Why did that girl give The Man in Black the location of the maze? How can a host get an internal staph infection? Why doesn't anyone notice when Dolores isn't around for her nightly traumas?

But they also stop to ask the pressing philosophical questions: What if this Sandbox RPG world really DID exist? Would you be good or evil? Would you feel bad for killing robots that mimic human emotion? Is rape actually a game option? And most importantly of all, which host would Jennifer most like to sleep with?

[Still the] Loremaster Kevin joins us to discuss the very first episode of HBO's Westworld!  Jeff muses about the original (1973) Westworld movie starring Yul Brynner, and is also in quite a tizzy about how similar Hosts are to the Synth characters from Bethesda's Fallout 4 video game.  Everyone enjoyed the show very much, though Jennifer wasn't quite as impressed.  Theories abound about the secret photograph, the cold storage room, and the man in black (Ed Harris is a badass), but the answers won't be coming just yet.  Also, James Marsden is ludicrously-pretty.

Be sure to vote in our Twitter poll to help decide how many episodes we'll spend on the first season of Westworld!
