Westworld Season 4 Episode 4

I freely admit, I’m a mark for all of the twisting and turning plot lines happening on Westworld. Since the very first episode of the show, the more chronological twists and turns, the more diverging plots, the more surprising Host reveals, the better. I’m fully on board for wherever this thing is going, and I just want to see how it gets there no matter how circuitous and maze-like the route becomes. “Generation Loss” certainly lives up to the maze-like qualities of the first season.

Of course, at this point in Westworld‘s run, you almost have to expect some kind of time line shenanigans, right? Certainly, there were clues there, but exactly how things were going to shake out at the halfway point of the fourth season were still kind of a mystery, at least to me. I’m...

Westworld Season 4 Episode 3

Westworld is a very clever show. At times, it might be too clever for its own good, but although it can sometimes be difficult to follow the narrative, you always feel the writers have given every moment and twist serious thought. Nowhere is that more apparent than “Annees Folles.” In two very crucial ways, the episode marks a return to familiar environments: Bernard emerges from the Sublime with a new mission, and Maeve finds herself essentially back where it all began in the first season, albeit with slightly different window dressing.

I tend to really like when two plots mirror one another structurally, and Bernard’s emergence into the real world and Maeve’s return to a Delos theme park really scratch that itch for me. It’s fun to watch the two of them as parallels, both armed with the knowledge...

Exclusive: Queer advocacy group Out in Hollywood released its second annual list of the best unproduced queer-focused television pilot scripts of the past year.

The 2022 Out Loud List was selected from among hundreds of nominations submitted from across the industry and evaluated based on criteria including the strength of the writer’s voice, viability of the project to be sold in today’s marketplace, and conceptual freshness. A group of readers (including proudly out network/studio execs and producers) helped narrow down the list, which was then curated by Out in Hollywood’s board of directors.

“As challenges continue to present themselves against fundamental rights in our country and abroad, it’s more important than ever to continue championing marginalized voices,” says Logan Kriete, founder of the organization. “Lack of representation and advancement of our basic humanity becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when we don’t tell these stories, and it...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Westworld” Season 3, Episode 6, “Decoherence.”]

An eye-rolling tease and a sigh of relief define Episode 6, “Decoherence” — a drawn-out hour of due diligence on behalf of writers Suzanne Wrubel and Lisa Joy, where characters do what they must to set up what’s next while slogging through the pedestrian tasks of the present. Maeve (Thandie Newton) is resurrected, as we all knew she would be; William (Ed Harris) sorts his demons and is set free; Charlotte/Dolores 2.0, meanwhile, gets the most development and the most to do — obeying Dolores Prime’s directives by saving Delos’ designs from its new owner, Serac (Vincent Cassel) while still committing to the family she shouldn’t care about, only to lose them anyway — and Tessa Thompson again makes the most of it.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains details about tonight’s season 3, episode 6 “Decoherence” of Westworld on HBO written by Suzanne Wrubel and Lisa Joy; directed by Jennifer Getzinger.

Ever since The Man in Black (accidentally) killed his daughter Emily, and was clinically quizzed by some form of her at the end of season 2, we’ve been wondering if he’s a host or not. He became so obsessed with the game, he forgot if he was human or not, to the point of digging into his own arm, trying to find some form of robotic in him.

Well, tonight we may have finally received some answers.

The following contains spoilers for Westworld season 3 episode 4.

Westworld season 3 isn’t quite all the way down now but it’s getting there. Following last week’s illuminating “The Mother of Exiles,” HBO’s sci-fi powerhouse is halfway through its eight-episode third season. Now to help viewers get better prepared for the madness to come, HBO has unveiled episode titles and names for the final four installments.

Normally this is where we’d warn about the inherent spoiler danger in reading ahead in episode descriptions. But as you’ll soon find out, Westworld has gone with a pretty cryptic route for its season 3 teasers. Give them a read below.

Westworld season 3, episode 5: “Genre”

Debut date: Sunday, April 12 (9:00-10:00 p.m. Et/Pt)

Just say no.

Written by Karrie Crouse & Jonathan Nolan; directed by Anna Foerster.

Westworld season 3, episode 6: “Decoherence”

Debut date: Sunday, April 19 (9:00-10:00 p.

HBO has released the episode titles and descriptions for the back half of “Westworld” Season 3. So yes, you can get to theorizing about how all of this is going to end come May 3, which is when the finale will air.

Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s sci-fi series reached the halfway point of its third season with Sunday’s episode, “The Mother of Exiles.” That hour ended by revealing the identity of the Host who has been living inside the Charlotte Hale lookalike (Tessa Thompson) — and the ones of those who are occupying the copy of Martin Connells (Tommy Flanagan) and the recreated body of ShogunWorld samurai Musashi (Hiroyuki Sanada).

Spoiler alert: They are all Evan Rachel Wood’s Dolores Abernathy.

After falling victim to a humiliating prank by the high school queen bee, Jodi (Victoria Justice) and her best friend Mindy (Eden Sher) plot their revenge by uniting all of the school’s outcasts to overthrow the cruel reign of the popular clique once and for all. But in a tale of “be careful what you wish for,” a taste of power gets the best of all of them, nearly ruining Jodi and Mindy’s friendship and threatening to sabotage Jodi’s budding romance with Dave (Avan Jogia)…

The Outcasts follows a familiar format of an oft-told tale, a them-vs-us story that pits geek against jocks, pretty against plain…...

Victoria Justice and Eden Sher are set to star in the high school comedy “The Outskirts,” which hails from “Bachelorette” producer BCDF Pictures, the company announced Tuesday. The female-centric movie also stars Ashley Rickards (“Awkward”), Peyton List (“Jessie”), Avan Jogia (“Twisted”), Claudia Lee (“Kick-Ass 2”), Katie Chang (“The Bling Ring”) and William Peltz (“Men, Women & Children”). Peter Hutchings (“Rhymes with Banana”) will direct the film from a Black List screenplay written by Dominique Ferrari and Suzanne Wrubel. Shooting begins this summer in New York.

Every year, film executive Franklin Leonard releases his list, called The Black List, of most-liked unproduced screenplays in Hollywood. This year's list was compiled from the suggestions of 290 film executives, each of whom picked up to ten of their favorite scripts. Since the list started in 2004, many screenplays ended up being turned into films. In 2005, two of the top three scripts were "Lars and the Real Girl" which was nominated for Best Original Screenplay Oscar, and "Juno" which actually won the Oscar. See the 2012 Black List below, broken up by how many votes each screenplay received. Some of the projects are already in the works. 65 - Draft Day (Rajiv Joseph, Scott Rothman) On the day of the NFL Draft, Bills General Manager Sonny Weaver has the opportunity to save football in Buffalo when he trades for the number one pick.

There is either a couple of football fans or Jerry Maguire/Moneyball with this year’s most liked unproduced screenplay. Close to 300 hundred film executives provided with the Black List creators a top ten of their favorite screenplays of the year and the consensus first overall pick (with 65 votes) comes from the recently featured in Variety (10 Screenwriters to Watch 2012) tandem of Rajiv Joseph & Scott Rothman and their drama which has nothing to do with enlisting in the armed forces. Draft Day – about the day in the life of a fictitious Buffalo Bills Gm appears to currently be in turnaround — which only means I expect to see this greenlight perhaps a little later than sooner – worth noting: top spot almost guarantees that the film will indeed go into production (2006, 2010 and 2011 are the exceptions.) Among the more alluring logline subjects we find on the list, I’d be keen on reading the...
