It’s definitely a sad moment, but it doesn’t end up really counting, because once Maeve puts the pieces together (and decides to check out of the scenario), she wakes up in the Mesa - or so she thinks. But the episode dives into the action relatively quickly with the reappearance of Hector (or at least, that’s what his name used to be), who seeks to rescue her - a scene that feels like it’s real, until Maeve figures out that he’s trapped in a game loop, and has no memory of their actual relationship. The appearance of WarWorld will be a shock to viewers who switched off the season premiere during the end credits, and thus missed last week’s dramatic reveal of Maeve in a whole new surrounding. And in this dehumanizing, brutal future, it makes sense that storytellers of this era have swung back around to celebrating World War II as a time for sexy spy fun, and not the massive human tragedy that it was.
But this week, we not only spend some time inside a fourth park, we also learn the very familiar theme for a fifth. It’s been established for some time that Delos Destinations features six parks, three of which have been seen before now. This is worth thinking about during the first few minutes of “The Winter Line,” as Maeve and Hector trade witty banter while dodging German bullets.
He’d made serious films before, but they’d never been that successful critically or commercially, as opposed to that whole series of movies featuring cartoon Nazis as the bad guys.īut, as quoted in the New York Times, in a profile about him taking on what would become one of the defining films of his career, Spielberg said that when asked by Liam Neeson if he could ever make another Indiana Jones movie where the Nazis are cartoon villains, his response was, “Never, never.” It’s funny to remember this, but in 1993, the idea of Steven Spielberg making Schindler’s List was actually a bit of a gamble.
