geebsTV commentary:
Killing Eve- Frightening! While V can be amusing at times, she's also scary as shit. I think both Eve and Villanelle have a fascination with each other, bordering on obsession, but they're not trying to turn it into some burgeoning romance, at least not yet. But yeah, its not like Eve could really do anything to V if she tried, and she's only still alive because she reminds Villanelle of that mysterious Anna chick. So right now, they're at an impasse.
Like when Villanelle forced Eve to have dinner with her, that was prolly the most frightening moment of her life. I was amused Eve saw straight through her sob story about not wanting to kill anymore and she's just trapped. It was bullshit, because Villanelle is a psychopath. Its like fascinating to see her spin these lies so casually. I mean, we the audience know she's a liar, like when she's telling Konstantin what happened with the other assassins. But its amazing to see how she makes things up. Konstantin finds a flaw in her story, and she quickly makes up excuses!
Interesting though, I figured taking Eve's phone was just to find Frank. But I guess V really doesn't know much about who she works for. So the recording of Frank talking about the 12 is as informative to her as it was to the task force. Villanelle straight up asks Konstantin which number of the 12 he is. I wonder though, when he says, "Aw, poop!" at the end, is that for himself, or for Villanelle, because he knows the rest of the 12 will be displeased and want to do something to her.
Because just before that, he had tasked Villanelle with finishing off Nadia, whom she didn't end up killing. I had a feeling that was the case! I mean, I guess one would assume rolling over her with a car would do it, I'm just surprised she didn't make sure. So when he says she has to take care of Nadia, is it because he favors her and is warning her to get ahead of the narrative before the 12 call for her head? Or when he says she's in the custody of the Russians, its non-12 related Russian people, so he's just saying she needs to eliminate a potential leak?
Other stuff, Kenny is Carolyn's son? That was a bit surprising. But she does seem to be a very calculated person, perhaps she didn't want Eve to know if she didn't need to. Oh, we also find out Villanelle used to be a Russian girl named Oksana, in jail for chopping off some dude's pecker, among other things.
Which, in case you need a reminder of how scary and crazy V is, she not only mutilates Frank the same way, she dresses him in the dress she had given Eve and that she took after she left to kill Frank. Talk about a horrific murder scene! But hey, that one random guard agent who seemed like he was surely dead might survive his wounds!
Westworld- Cool! Armistice is back, and I guess she had Felix and the other guy with her, making one of them replace the arm she cut off last season. And she has a flamethrower. And what the hell, between those two and Sizemore, their group manages to accidentally wander into Samurai-world? Like I can get one guy, particularly Sizemore getting lost, but surely between three people one of them would realize they're nowhere near where they thought they would be.
We also see another park, based on colonial India. That's where that tiger came from. We also meet a female guest who just barely manages to survive homicidal hosts and said tiger, only to wash up on Westworld, where she's immediately capture by Ghost Nation warriors. I see some theorize she's William's daughter. She would be all grown up at this point.
Interesting with her shooting a fellow guest to see if they're a real person or a robot. Which makes it seem like she's wary of people trying to trick her with hosts posing as guests, as if that's a thing that happens.
And hey, Charlotte's alive in the present (unless she's been replaced by a robot!) In the past, she and Bernard manage to find Abernathy, who's been captured by Rebus, along with a bunch of other guests. Which is interesting, do they not recognize Abernathy as a host? Why else would he be captured and being traded along with other guests?
But yeah, they try to grab him, and Bernard manages to reprogram Rebus to be a chivalrous gunfighter (which explains why he jumped in front of the firing squad to try and save that female host in the season premiere), but he just ends up getting captured by the Conferados, and taken to Colonel Bringham (who had just allied with Dolores after she showed him the wonders of a FN P90)
Charlotte hooks up with some Delos guys, and while the main force takes on Fort Forlorn, she and a special team mount a mission to grab Abernathy. Her team is successful, though Dolores manages to kill most of them during their escape. And she and her forces totally betray the Confederados, with a well placed shot by Angela detonating the pre-mined battlefield taking out both Delos and the Confederados.
Craddock survives, and he's none to pleased at the turn of events. Dolores wants Teddy to execute him and the remaining Confederados (as not all deserve to enter the valley beyond or whatever) but he lets them go. It'll be interesting to see how this growing disagreement of Teddy with Dolores' methods will play out.
