The third season of Westworld ended with something of a rarity for a show about robots: an android death that felt final. After the theme park’s mechanical hosts got loose in the real world, they learned that, much like them, humans were being controlled by a nefarious AI supercomputer known as Rehoboam. That led Maeve (Thandiwe Newton) and Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) to help human Caleb (Aaron Paul) shut down Rehoboam, freeing humanity. That freedom, however, came at the cost of Dolores’s life, and the show’s writers made it clear that they weren’t messing around: she really is dead. “We saw Dolores perish,” writer and executive producer Denise Thé confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. “We saw all of her memories painfully erased. I think it’s really important to honour her death.”
So long Dolores, hello Christina
