- Quotes
Dr. Robert Ford: A greyhound is a racing dog. Spends its life running in circles, chasing a bit of felt made up like a rabbit. One day, we took it to the park. Our dad had warned us how fast that dog was, but we couldn't resist. So, my brother took off the leash, and in that instant, the dog spotted a cat. I imagine it must have looked just like that piece of felt. He ran. Never saw a thing as beautiful as that old dog running. Until, at last, he finally caught it. And to the horror of everyone, he killed that little cat. Tore it to pieces. Then he just sat there, confused. That dog had spent its whole life trying to catch that... thing. Now it had no idea what to do.

Opening Theme Song
We keep with the three basic story-lines: the Man In Black with a hat, now with a sprinkle of Teddy; Dolores and William's team-up; and what happens in the blurry line between the theme park and the outside. "Contrapasso" does a great job in balancing the story-lines and, after four episodes of world building, offers a good chunk of plot development. And it offers quite a lot.
Finally we starting to see a little bit more of what is behind the story of the show: the interests of the 'real' people, the difficulties in finding purpose in life, the secrets they have, etc., etc. "Westworld" is making a great job in making us care for everyone, 'hosts' and 'guests', to then remind us of who is 'human' and who is not, while keeping some things up: who is actually really human?, what is the actual timeline of the events?, how many layers does Westworld really have and what is under what is already under?, how come there is so little security in the place? That's the biggest problem with the show right now: clients being punched really hard and them being 'ok' with it, and the little security the premises seem to have. On the other hand, that is because everyone is shady and has a secret purpose.
"Contrapasso" does a great job in showing its strengths and satiating the viewer's deepest desires. We get emotional: Dolores quest for freedom, Teddy's arc, William and Logan's tensions..., physical: fights, punches, deaths, a big party..., and brainy and philosophical: all the talks with meanings inside the meanings. It is sometimes a little heavy-handed, in-your-face, especially in the 'deep' conversations, but it is interesting and engrossing.
