![]() Except she doesn’t just stab him, she fucking saws most of the top of his head off. When she gets close she slides a needle dagger out of her hair and stabs the shogun in the head. She instantly dies, though I’m pretty sure being stabbed in the gut is more of a long and painful bleeding-out process rather than an insta-kill.Īkane swallows her emotions and dances. The whispering code-speak was a neat touch.īefore the ceremonial dance the shitty shogun strides up to the women and guts Sakura. We’re treated to more flashes to Maeve and her daughter as she sees more of herself in Akane, even attempting to awaken her. Not sure if he literally deafens them or not, but either way it effectively nullifies her speaking powers.Īkane proposes a trade: she’ll dance for him if he returns to Sakura, and he agrees. He had learned that she was a witch, and mutlited himself and his men so they wouldn’t be able to hear her. Maeve’s plan falters when they reach the Shogun, however. At some point along the way Lee finds a phone or phone-like device on a body and quietly snatches it, giving him a possible way to contact the outside world later on. The first part of the plan works, and they make it inside while posing as emissaries of China. ![]() In reality they march toward the Shogun’s encampment with a simple plan – use Maeve’s powers to get in and rescue everyone. The cowboy and samurai rebels provide a distraction so our non-combatants can make an escape. Unfortunately the surviving ninjas kidnap Sakura, then the whole damn army of the Shogun show up. Even Lee is startled by this sudden new ability, which was most likely already explained to us by Bernard when he was searching the neural network for Abernathy. Instead she evolves a new form of communication, a sort-of mind-code-speak that transmits directly to her attacker, who promptly kills himself. Maeve can’t use her host-controlling powers as she’s grappled by a ninja. ![]() Lee suggests an egress to Snow Lake, which is also an access point for the park.īefore they can make their escape they’re attacked by ninjas. She changes Lee’s narrative and kills the Shogun’s emissary for wanting to purchase her adopted daughter and geisha Sakura. It’s that loyalty that gets Akane, and our entire group, into trouble. Hector-Musashi (played by Hioryuki Sanada, one of my favorite Japanese actors) are distrustful, Armistice-Hanaryo are like curious, dangerous cats, while Maeve-Akane form a deep bond over their loyalties to their adopted daughters. Lee warns that it could fuck with them, but it really comes down to their respective personalities. ![]() It’s funny watching the dopple-bots interact. When the action subsides Maeve finds her voice, speaking fluent Japanese and forming an alliance between their two teams. In fact, the story even plays out the same, with a Japanese version of Hector and Armistice rolling into town to rob a brothel, safe and all. We then get our first official look at Shogunworld, the medieval Japanese part of the park, and it all looks like a Japanese version of Sweetwater. ![]() Lee reveals that all hosts should have the ability to communicate, an important fact that Meave later elevates to the next level. Maeve doesn’t speak their language and her host-controlling powers aren’t working. Maeve and company, which at this point includes the humans Lee the writer and techs Felix and Sylvester, and the cowboy outlaw hosts Hector and Armistice, are swiftly captured by a force in Westworld that has only been teased so far. No more fun teases – Shogunworld is finally here! In this week’s episode of Westworld Team Maeve has been captured by a mysterious group of Japanese outlaws who are not-so-coincidentally familiar to her own posse, while Delores makes her final decision on what to do with Teddy. ![]()
