Westworld Season 2 Premiere: 7 Ups And 3 Downs From 'Journey Into Night'

2. A New Game Begins

The robot uprising was Ford's true plan, and now that new game is truly afoot. It also means a new challenge for the Man in Black, who is taken straight into it.

This is Robert's dying 'gift' to him, because after all he wanted to be truly challenged (which leads to a great scene between him and young Robert), and it's clearly going to form a major part of the narrative going forwards. It can't give us too much yet, but there's just enough here to make us invested and intrigued in what's going to happen, and it makes it feel like there are genuine stakes to the game this time around.
