From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.After a very intense and cerebral fourth episode, it looks like Westworld will be more in the action/adventure realm for episode 5, which looks to mostly be set in Shogunworld.
This will mark the first time we have seen the park, though its existence was hinted at back in season one.
Judging by the trailer, Maeve, Hector and the gang get caught up in a host narrative there, with Maeve even donning a kimono and picking up a katana.
The dialogue teased suggests that she will attempt to liberate the hosts in the Japan-set park, who do not seem to have gone rogue as they have in Rajworld.
The HBO teaser also gives a glimpse of Dolores' sub-plot which, like Maeve's, was given a rest in episode 4.
"To grow, we all need to suffer," she says menacingly.
Episode 4, 'The Riddle of the Sphynx', came with the revelation that Delos was running a secret experiment that attempted to implant real human's downloaded minds into hosts, with limited success.
Westworld airs weekly on HBO in the US and through Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK.
