Westworld: Que Será, Será (2022)
Season 4, Episode 8
4/10
The show had two interesting ideas that went nowhere

Warning: Spoilers
I liked the mystery about the hosts going berserk killing people and then committing suicide after talking with specific humans. The reasons for this was not explored.

I also liked the idea of the 'transcendence' that Charlotte kept talking about, but again this was not explored.

Talking about the last episode, it was as bland as it gets.

The 'final boss' fight between MiB and Charlotte at the dam was awful. Anticlimactic. No creativity in the sequence at all. Talking and shooting and then talking and then shooting and talking some more... bleh... Charlotte had the chance to shoot him at the console, but instead she decided to talk with him. She ran out of bullets? Come on!!!

Don't get me started with Caleb and Clementine. Both of them show fillers. Their action sequence a pointless filler. There was absolutely no build up to their encounter.

Charlotte sudden change of personality came out of nowhere. Doesn't make sense at all.

Caleb's daughter and Stubbs mission to rescue Caleb was absolutely utterly pointless. I did not care at all for Caleb or her daughter.

Caleb did not have a purpose in the show. Charlotte said that she kept resurrecting him because apparently he had some 'information' about 'something' that she wanted to know. This was another subject that the writers did not follow through.

If you want to blame a character in the show for the end of human civilization blame Bernard. He knew the future! He could have very easily stop MiB and Charlotte. They are not formidable omnipotent opponents! Just put a bullet in their heads! But the show is so poorly written that it make us believe that Bernard's lame solution was the best solution.

Overall this was a bad season. The world portraited felt so empty and boring. The dialogs were so bland and repetitive. The main story recycled form other sources (Dark City, The Matrix, The Terminator to name a few).
