This is the best episode of the season so far, maybe the best episode of the show. Akechta's story is heartbreaking. When he was walking around looking for Kohana and found her and then realized he could do nothing about it really got to me. That piano cover of Heart-Shaped Box was fantastic too.
"I was determined to leave this world but I wouldn't leave it without her." - Akecheta
Wow, this was one of the best episode I ever saw. Almost without any action scenes, I was on the edge of my seat all along.
It also appears that all the non-english episodes are much better than others. The native tongue is beautiful and the acting, especially Zahn McClarnon's, was superb.
Unfortunately, Trakt.tv won't let me give 12/10 hearts when I go (does someone wants to give his/hers in their place?)
"I wanted to help you too. I wanted to warn you, but in this world it's easy to misunderstand intentions. I wanted to give you the truth. I watched over you, day after day trying to keep you safe, but it was a promise you couldn't keep. Someone else was watching you too." - Akecheta
I would have laughed if the little girl said in the end : "I don't understand your language..."
Such a beautiful episode. Just the simple fact that by the end of the episode we feel empathy and respect for Akecheta (a character that appeared what, only 10 minutes throughout both seasons?) shows how well written and loved all characters are in this show. Perfect casting.
For sure the best episode of the show.
Still got the chills. The best episode of the show and one of the most heartbreaking episodes i've ever seen. Still, everything is story-driven and fully immersed and fit in every narrative layer. Perfect, just f-ing perfect.
One woke up by pain, one by force and finally one through love.
Perfect writing and perfect actor
That was a very intensive emotional heartbreaking episode.
most beautiful episode from this season!!
direct,photography and sound are amazing
He is a flower that grew in the darkness.
Ford's speech in the ending of Bicameral Mind is about Akechta.
Take my heart when you go...
Nothing to say more..
Respect.
Best episode of this season, really touching and enlightening!
Best episode in the whole damn series. Glad I came back to this show for this alone.
BEST EPISODE THIS SEASON.
Hope the last 2 episodes are more like this and a lot less like the first 7
Feels weird to call this episode, focusing on a host, the most humane Westworld yet, but yeah. The most singular focus for the first time ever does so well by it (even the one other strand turns out to tie in with the main story the whole time in the end), making this heartbreaking story so intimate and resonating. Maybe best performance of the season too. This season is a bit messy, reflecting both the ambition and events that don't hover under a unified mystery box atmosphere like in season 1 anymore. But it makes some standout, unique episodes, like "The Riddle of the Sphinx" and this one, possible.
And that was a gorgeous, haunting teaser for next week (wonder if they cut it that way to maintain the mood from this episode?)...
Akecheta is a fuckin poet. My favorite episode so far. Storytelling, direction, cinematography, score, character developement. Everything was top notch.
This was an absolute masterpiece of an episode. This was art. Even with all the blood, I could legit call this high quality art. It was beautiful.
"Kohana: Take my heart when you go.
Akecheta: Take mine in its place."
Wow! Best episode of the season.
oh my. I cried multiple times watching this episode. best fkin episode from the series till now.
Absolutely amazing episode! Absolutely amazing!
First episode of the season that was really interresting :/
Even though a stand alone episode in some ways, this has been one of the better ones and an emotional one as well.
One for all those who have loved and lost.
This is by far my favorite episode, just splendidly sublime.
Loved seeing Zahn Tokiya-ku McClarnon, and how Thandiwe called back his line, "Take my heart with you when you go," at the end!
Two episodes in a row to not feature a scene before the intro credits, I wonder why?
Slowest episode of the series so far, and not much of a payoff for it.
Another throwaway episode. This season has been really difficult to watch.
Nothing… I do not understand a single thing of what's going on here.
The only episode (so far?) this season that holds the same standard as the ones in the first.
One of the best episodes of the series. I loved this story so much and almost feel like we should have been seeing more of this story before now, but then we wouldn't have gotten it all packed together like this, which was beautiful.
That episode was so good am I going for the robots now lol
