In its third season, “Westworld” stepped into the human world and, in doing so, raised the question of how much power former theme park host Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) would have on unfamiliar turf.

Shot across three different fields of vision in one continuous take, the scene signaled that Dolores’ murderous capabilities were stronger than ever, while delivering the kind of breathtaking, technologically complex action that “Westworld” fans had come to expect.
