Evan Rachel Wood dropped some major details on episode 5 of “Westworld” and we can’t wait

We have been brimming with questions and excitement about Westworld since it first premiered. What was the deal with the maze? Who is Arnold? Will Dolores ever realize her destiny? Not to mention, we fell immediately in love with the strong female characters.
Of course, there was some backlash. A lot of people were offended by the prevalence of sexual violence against Dolores, played with precise perfection by Evan Rachel Wood. Luckily, Evan Rachel Wood took time to discuss the future of Westworld with the folks over at Variety, and she answered some of our most burning questions while simultaneously urging patience.
Why Episode Five is Evan Rachel Wood’s favorite episode
"Episode five is one of my favorite episodes, because that’s when we’re leaving the main town of Sweetwater and we’re finally getting to the outskirts of Westworld. We’ve established that the further out you go, the more intense the game gets. In five, we go to a little place called Pariah. I describe it as the Vegas of Westworld, and in a place that’s already lawless, without consequences, you can only imagine what that would be like."
On Dolores’ growth:
"Also with Dolores, we’re going to see more sides to her and we’re peeling back the layers more and more. She’s making leaps and bounds and really going against her programming and we’re noticing something coming out of her that we really haven’t seen yet. She gets a new outfit. She gets kind of a new attitude. And the romance between her and William sort of starts, and it’s solidified in episode five."
Wood also addressed *that* creepy moment where she grabbed the Marshal in Episode 4.
Wood acknowledged that the flashbacks in the tiny village brought out a new characteristic in the character, but gave an ominous warning that Dolores’ personality may not be all Disney princess.
"I think we’ll be slowly finding out what that is and where it comes from and whether she’s in control of that or not."
AND that characteristic might have driven her to say “These violent delights have violent ends” to Maeve
It’s been a couple of episodes since Dolores spontaneously talked to Maeve, repeating the Shakespearean phrase that seems to send robots down the rabbit hole. But the effects have been staggering so far for Maeve and Dolores.
"The only thing I think we’ve established at that point, and what I believe, is that once that phrase is said to a host, something unlocks in them. They work off of voice commands, and I think that sentence in particular really means something, because everyone starts malfunctioning when they hear it. But how she connects to that thing and where she’s coming from, I don’t think we understand quite yet."
Apparently, Evan Rachel Wood was as much in the dark about Dolores’ arc as we currently are
According to Evan, the actors would sometimes only find out what happened in each script a couple of days before shooting. But despite the lack of time to prepare, she said it was actually a good thing because this way the actors playing robots didn’t have to fake their confusion about what was going in.
Man, is it Sunday night yet? We can’t wait any longer!
