This review contains spoilers for Westworld Season 2, episode 9, titled “Vanishing Point.” To refresh your memory of where we left off, check out our episode 8 review.
These violent delights have violent ends, indeed.
Westworld’s main shortcoming (aside from a stubborn insistence on non-linear plotting when a straightforward narrative – like Akecheta’s story in episode 8 – would sometimes be equally effective) is that it has a tendency to tell us what we already know. Most episodes are either so vague as to be almost incomprehensible without the context of future episodes, or they spend multiple scenes spelling out plot twists that the audience discovered weeks ago.
