Westworld Season 4 - Anybody watching?

Given all that's happened in our dystopian world and theirs, hard to say which is more disquieting.

I have to read recaps to know exactly what has happened. I gather there are at least 3 timeliness by episode 4. But why Dolores is Christina and who the heck Teddy is now is far beyond my comprehension.

Brilliant move by preganat woman in carpool lane

Pregnant woman given HOV ticket argues fetus is passenger, post-Roe

A pregnant Texas woman who was ticketed for driving in the HOV lane suggested that Roe v. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court means that her fetus counted as a passenger and that she should not have been cited.

Brandy Bottone was recently driving down Central Expressway in Dallas when she was stopped by a sheriff’s deputy at an HOV checkpoint to check whether there were at least two occupants per vehicle as mandated. When the sheriff looked around her car last month, she recounted to The Washington Post, he asked, “Is it just you or is someone else riding with you?”

“I said, ‘Oh, there’s two of us,’” Bottone said. “And he said, ‘Where?’”

Highly recommend Call the Midwife season 2 episode 2.5 on Netflix

IMDb: Call the Midwife: Episode #2.5

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2506248/

A poor mother of 8 in 1950s London gets pregnant for the ninth time. Emotionally charged but calmly discussed by practical and caring people in charge.

Highly recommend watching in this time post Roe V Wade. WE NEED LEGISLATION PROTECTING OUR BODIES AND OUR FREEDOM. AND CONSIDER THE MOTHERLESS CHILDREN.
