Writing big scenes for Hopkins probably had a lot to do with that. Because he was nowhere near that much screentime. But the scenes he was in punctuated and capitalized Westworld.
more attention and tuning for an A lister.
He may have put his own script doctors on it to tune it up. A lot of A listers do if they feel the material isn't up to par.

you know, this could save the series. go meta. Because this IS whats going on. we already had this kind of reveal in Westworld, with the androids, reading there own "scripts" and seeing Westworld. do again, with now, this is a TV show, and we are still just being controlled by humans.

I think this is why I liked this episode, all this stuff with Solomon filling in a bunch of blanks really made for a story I wanted to get more into.
Then Maeve shows up and we're back into the plot that we don't care as much about and wish it was over... that climaxes and then the previews show us we get to redo all that over again. I wonder if next week we'll be saying goodbye to Delores and Maeve a bit more permanently. As Bernard said, Delores has turned the pawn into a king in Caleb, and Maeve can literally be put out to pasture (with her daughter) to be called back at some point next season. With word on a renewal coming relatively late, hopefully we've got a series finale vibe to next week, wrapping up and paying off a lot of plot points.
Stubbs, William and Bernard on a road trip looked like 3 people playing a game together. One goes stomping off for loot, the other following another around and not thinking for themselves trying to actually further the objective (fix the car).

Season 3 is an allegory to our civilization fighting the coronavirus, here in Westworld they have the stormtrooper virus and it's quite contagious too:

The person who does the fight/gun scene coeography needs to be fired.
Just bad. There are other ways to craft a compelling confrontation besides exchanged gunfire that is wildly inaccurate.
The story itself is so convoluted, its hard to understand where motivations end and begin. The Meave daughter meme perfectly sums up the entire season.

why does this show have such a boner for Marshawn Lynch lol
yeah this was mostly stupid as hell, little made sense, the entire season was basically pointless and Rehoboam was executed so badly.
Its a bummer, I really liked some of the concepts of the finale like what would a world look like run by a governing AI, how would humans react if they were told what their future will be, what is a world like where you have immortality via grown clones, how would people live in a post-scarcity world thats not Star Trek, how would people interact with robot clones from 40 years in the past, etc. This show has so far executed on NONE of that very well, just brought up the ideas and immediately fumbled on organically making stories from them.
In theory a season 4 revolving around the story of "AIs decide to exterminate humanity via pod peopling them" thats not a bad central tenet, but season 3's core idea was "what if an AI ran the world" and it was written miserably so I can't imagine season 4 will be done any better. I'll still watch, the budgets and visuals are great and now at least fucking Dolores is gone but the writing, acting, action choreography, dialogue, etc is all just so bad.
The scene with Bernard and his ex-wife was fantastic but it had literally nothing to do with any part of the story. Its probably the only scene this entire season though that was of the calibre of season 1.

There you go, the reason this show still exists, people watch it even though it holds no lasting value.

I can't believe how much stupid they crammed into a single episode. I've been pretty forgiving, but wow.
So many interesting or neat ideas ruined or discarded for this plot that nobody really cares about.
With a couple exceptions it felt like they went out of their way to not end anyone else's journey except Delores - but even she's still got copies and is the root of everything, so even she's not gone.
Who knew, a police flyer full of weapons is even less secure than the super computer. Good thing that cop only had 1 bullet in his gun I guess.
