Description

Who the Hale is Charlotte? Roger Roeper returns to "Shat on TV" to explore the biggest question presented by Westworld Season 3, Episode 3: "The Absence of Field." Ashley Schlafly explains the poem behind the episode's title and reaches back to Ancient Rome to illustrate the predicament Caleb is facing. Gene Lyons celebrates Westworld's vision of future tech: personal assistants, predictive models, augmented-reality glasses, artificial intelligence, drip implants, and of course that one stupid ambulance. The Shat Crew also looks into Charlotte's self-mutilation, chunky metal balls, Serac's identity, and Jamaican riot robots.  Listen to more great music from Simon: www.soundcloud.com/simonsteric Westworld Episode 3 Summary:"The Absence of Field" The Charlotte host learns Serac is attempting to take over Delos via a mole within the company. Struggling to maintain her identity as a host, Charlotte discovers that the human Charlotte was Serac's mole, having promised to get the guests' data to him. However, that data is now locked by an encryption key that Dolores has. Caleb helps Dolores flee but becomes a target under the Rico system. Dolores arrives to save him and shows him that Rehoboam is a predictive AI that is being used to shape the future direction of humanity, down to controlling every individual's life. Rehoboam has predicted that Caleb will commit suicide in a decade and thus keeps him in poor-paying jobs. Caleb offers to join Dolores as she plans a revolution against Serac and Rehoboam.
