Last night's episode of Westworld finally connected that HBO series to another, as we learned that "Park 4" appears to be a Game of Thrones-themed world! As Bernard and Stubbs made their way through the backstage lab areas, we initially see a man dressed in black and gold, an apparent nod to the Baratheons.
Not convinced? Well, we're then shown Game of Thrones showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff gloating over the fact that they've just managed to sell one of the dragons that inhabits "Park 4"! Shortly after this, we see one of Cersei Lannister's gowns on a dummy, along with images of a number of real-life locations which were used in the series to double for Westeros and Essos.
Musiscians are also shown playing the Westworld theme on stringed instruments, a style composer Ramin Djwandi used for his Game of Thrones work; the highlight of this sequence, however, comes when Stubbs kills the security guards with a double-headed axe as some hosts eat and drink in the background (similar to a certain Red Wedding).
With that, it's basically become canon that Game of Thrones is just another Park in Westworld, and while we're unlikely to explore this any further given the direction this season is heading in, it's certainly fun to think about what that means for the series that adapted George R.R. Martin's novels.
