Westworld season 2 episode 6 live stream: Watch online
By Amy Woolsey
After expanding its physical universe last week, Westworld ventures into the digital realm. Find out how you can watch this week’s episode below.
My heart is still racing. With “Akane No Mai”, Westworld took viewers for an extended stay at Shogun World, resulting in an action-packed hour. Maeve put her search for her daughter on hold, joining forces with her counterpart, Akane, and in the process discovered a new voice. We ended on a cliffhanger even more tantalizing than the Man in Black’s mini family reunion the previous week.
Tonight’s episode can’t come soon enough.
Judging by the preview, “Phase Space” will continue season 2’s propulsive momentum. It looks chilling (the music!) and trippy, giving off major Inception vibes with Bernard’s journey into the Cradle.
HBO’s official synopsis for this week’s episode reads:
"We each deserve to choose our own fate."
That sounds like Dolores, who, ever since her ascension to consciousness, can’t stop speaking in riddles and portents. She frames her ongoing rampage not as a quest for revenge or power, but as a fight for survival. Yet, even as she argues for self-determination, she manipulates others to suit her needs, like Ford did. Didn’t she deprive Teddy of the ability to choose his own fate when she (figuratively) burned him down?
In all fairness, Teddy’s inability to see that coming basically proves Dolores’s point. And why shouldn’t Dolores contain multitudes? She’s hardly the only one, as Maeve experiments with her newfound powers and Bernard wrestles with his identity.
Maybe relevant: in physics, a phase space is “a space in which all possible states of a system are represented”. I can’t pretend to make sense of the mathematics behind it (go ahead, you try), but the metaphorical possibilities are rich indeed.
