The Latest “Westworld” Reveal Shows It’s No “Game of Thrones”

"My hope, however, is that we may yet see some fractures in the show’s flawless super-skeleton. As Maeve has become aware of the machine she is nested within, she is learning to manipulate it for her own ends: in the latest episode, we see her slam shut a piano playing the show’s own theme song. As Dolores pushes to uncover her hazy past, she, too, is working toward the moment when she can go beyond improvisation and write a new script for herself. But if this breaking point comes, it will be because “Westworld” has become a radically different show than the one we thought we were watching. The most recent episode begins with Bernard waking from a dream in which he was reading to his dying son from a book that appears to be “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”: “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t.” The deepest secret of “Westworld” may be that its puzzle is meant to be not solved but broken."
