Westworld's cancelation without a proper ending is disappointing, especially since season 5 was planned from the beginning. The cast not knowing how the show was supposed to end adds to the unfortunate lack of closure for both them and the viewers. While there may not be immediate plans for season 5, there is still hope for a revival in the future that could provide a satisfying conclusion.
