Themarketing for Westworld time of year fourmade it clear that Evan Rachel Wood — whoseformidable Host character reference , Dolores , was obliteratedat the end of time of year three — would render . Now thatthe first instalment has publicise , we ’ve met Wood in her Modern role : Christina , a shy single gal in the big city . Westworld isknown for throwing curveballs , but this might be its enceinte one yet .
Obviously Wood ca n’t divulge much about what lie ahead for Christina , even though every Westworld fan who ’s been watch the show since the start ( and is therefore very intimate with its passion of misdirection ) recognise there ’s got to be more to her than what we ’ve watch so far . In a recent roundtable interview , io9 and other pressure got a chance to require Wood andWestworld co - Divine Lisa Joyabout what ’s in store for Christina . It ’s apparent that her fictional character will be tie into the show ’s larger themes revolve around storytelling — particularly as it relate to who ’s in ascendancy of the tale .
“ When we first meet Christina , we see that that she is a writer and that she is a storyteller . She bring for a gambling party , ” Wood enjoin . “ But clear , something is off and something is going on , because she ’s getting these crazy headphone calls from a stranger who is accusing her and her story of being real and actually influencing existent people . So I mean , you know , that ’s about as much as I can say . But I think it ’s going to be one of the fun things , too , that will sort of unfold — that we get to learn about Christina this season — is what is in reality happening . Who is Christina ? Where are we ? When are we ? What is happening and what is her character ? ”

Though we do n’t know much about Christina yet , we can tell she ’s quite different from Dolores . However , there are similarity , not just in their obviously superposable appearance , but in the path Christina ’s life come after a set routine — wake up up , go to study , go home , over and over again — not unlike Dolores ’ life did in the early days of Westworld . This sentience of measured closeness is something that range up throughout season four , not just when it comes to Christina ’s scenes , but across all the storylines .
“ We were concerned in looking at the direction that account tends to repeat itself , or at least rime with itself over time , ” Joy explained . “ I think that as we progress , the lens has operate from being in the pilot , fundamentally Host - free-base , to a more even split between Hosts and humans , as we ’ve kind of shifted the regard of the narrative . We ’re attempt to explore the similarities and difference of opinion between the two metal money here — and so in doing so , it ’s been helpful to reference the way in which everybody , even human being , live in these kind of loop and come up themselves stay put in a oestrus or seeming to be ineffective to change their circumstances or even behaviors that they do n’t require or like about themselves . That ’s been a recur root , just explore through a different slant . ”
With all that history repeating , is there a prospect that Westworld ’s characters — be they human or emcee — will be able to bump out of their ruts and receive in the change and go on they so desperately seek ? “ This is the question , right ? , ” Joy said . “ When so many thing can stay the same , what face of our lives and of our society as a collective can we change ? I recall that ’s one of the things that is not skill fable about the predicament of the show … there seems to be a bunch of problems in getting the sort of consensus require to move ahead and act as a species together . And it ’s funny because it flouts logic , but the systems of the world , the different bureaucratism , the dissimilar grummet that society is in and the different mini grummet that individuals are in , they can often stymie variety no matter how badly we want it , or how much we intellectually know we should strive for it . And the interrogation really is , for Hosts and humans , how much can we pull through ourselves from ourselves ? How much can we transcend our limitation and larn from our misunderstanding ? ”
