"Westworld" is suffering a little bit of being too much in love with itself and this fourth episode, "Dissonance Theory" shows it. It seems that the creators of the show have a little bit of Ford-itis, as they do basically the same that has been done in previous episodes: fun action packed moments in the West, a couple of shady we-are-not-really-talking conversations between 'hosts' and 'creators' and some more problems within the park, within the premises of the park, and probably outside too.
We expend some time with Mavae in this episode, with her visions and her memories of what she saw and saw not. What is real, what is not? Is it all part of her past memories? Has someone put something in her head that 'should not be there'? Logan and William team up with Dolores, and we all know that William is falling for Dolores. Why are those 'hosts' so real you can fall for them?, William seems to be asking himself while his 'friend' Logan seems to be asking: how come you are falling for them? 'Us' and 'them'. Oh, and the Man In Black With A Hat continues his wanderings around searching for the maze.
Again, the problem is that it is all part of the bigger picture. The show is interesting, and all the aspects are well done, with good scenery, direction, and acting. But in this episode the plot really does little progression and a couple of developments, as William's fancy for Dolores could have been expected from the first moment we met William. However, "Dissonance Theory" offers a lot of interesting ideas and fun moments too, so the viewer will enjoy it.
