What do Episode 1 of Season 3 of Westworld and Pride and Prejudice (sort of) have in common? The answer is even more strange - it's Pulp. As I said in my post on the latter, I was not familiar with this band, but their song "Something Changed" during the play was exactly right. Just one reason I will go to see it again, anywhere.
And then only a few days later Pulp are there again, this time on Westworld with "Common People", a song I did know, again probably appropriate to the story, if only we knew why. Jonathon Nolan and Lisa Joy have written another superb introduction to Season 3, quite baffling in some ways, but always thrilling.
In Seasons 1 and 2 Dolores changed from a frumpy cowgirl into an avenging host.
Now she is more a ruthless glamour model with added violence.
So Westworld is back, better than before. Bernard is still here, hiding out in plain sight. Charlotte Hale is now somebody else and telling everyone what to do. However there was no sign of Maeve in this episode. But we do have a new character called Caleb. Fortunately he didn't fall off the beam in the top picture. When the reviews mention the programmes motto, Shakespeare's "Violent delights have violent ends", they forget Friar Lawrence advises us to "Love moderately. Long love doth so".
