Westworld Looks Again to the Future
The promo for Sunday’s Westworld focuses on the rest of the season instead of a specific episode.
We’re halfway through the first season of Westworld but the questions just keep on coming. There is some reason to believe that the season will be able to wrap up in satisfying fashion, though at this point it doesn’t feel all too likely. Westworld’s playfulness with its many secrets extends even to the previews that it airs for new episodes. Instead of showing a preview for the next episode in line, Westworld has been switching in previews for the rest of the season every so often.
That’s what happened when fans tuned in for the preview for episode 6 last Sunday. That makes it a little difficult to actually track what’s going to happen on the upcoming episode, titled ‘The Adversary.’

The promo is titled “The Maze -Weeks Ahead: Westworld,” letting us know right away that the maze that the Man in Black is searching for is going to come into better view in the second half of the season. Maeve is also going to be acting out a bit more and getting a more personal visit from the spacemen. Maeve looks to be taking control of her fate in a very different way than what Dolores is doing — if that is actually what Dolores is doing. There is enough reason to believe that Dolores’s actions may be part of Ford’s narrative.
There are also clips of a full, healthy Teddy, which is far from the state we saw him in during ‘Contrapasso.‘ Ford is also going to have another confrontation with someone, possibly the Man in Black, and finds Anthony Hopkins giving his best, er, Hopkins. You know what we mean.

There’s no way to know how much of this we’re going to see in episode 6, but odds are it will be little to none. Still, it’s not difficult to get excited for what Westworld has in store for its second half.
