In many ways,WestworldSeason 4 is what the laterTerminatormovies wanted to be — a depiction of humanity’s ongoing war against the machines. Bythe season finale, the machines won. But why is this season ofWestworldmore appealing than the cyber apocalypse depicted in the laterTerminatorsequels(Rise of the Machines,Salvation,Genisys,Dark Fate)? Each successiveTerminatorsequel comes with diminishing returns, perhaps because of the franchise’s refusal to detach itself from the ’80s and ’90s, capitalizing onJames Cameron’sTerminatorandTerminator 2: Judgment Dayandthe returning cast ofArnold SchwarzeneggerandLinda Hamilton....
