Reunions Disappoint on Westworld
Episode 2 of the second season of Westworld, “Reunion” eases the audience into what will most likely be the structure of the season, flashbacks and all, but fails to say something on its own. While the premiere episode felt slightly lacking for me, this episode was increasingly better and entertaining, but still not hitting the same marks that Season 1 always nailed. Overall, these two episodes have left me wanting for more depth and nuance rather than the surface level introspection I feel we’re getting and I’m hoping that’s mostly doing to it functioning as a set up for expanding the world this season rather than the sad fact that I might have fallen in love with a prologue to a story that doesn’t interest me on its own. And, if I dare say it, there was a moment where I gritted my teeth because I felt a flicker of Thrones vibes.
Check out my recap of episode 2 of this season of Westworld. If you couldn’t tell by the headline, I wasn’t in love with it! Really hoping this season picks up soon.

“Please folks. May I have your attention please? Attention please! I can deal with this trouble, friends, with a wave of my hand, this very hand! Please observe me if you will. I’m Professor Harold Hill, and I’m here to organize the River City Boys’ Band! Now think my friends, how can any pool table ever hope to compete with a gold trombone? Remember my friends, what a handful of trumpet players did to the famous, fabled walls of Jericho - oh billiard parlour walls come a-tumblin’ down! Oh a band will do it, my friends, oh yes, I say a boys’ band, do you hear me? I say, River City’s gotta have a boys’ band, and I mean she needs it today. Well Professor Harold Hill’s on hand, River City’s gonna have her boys’ band, as sure as the Lord made little green apples - and that band’s gonna be in uniform!”
