The past is calling, remember what was taken. "Mi cante ki yu ha ya ye." ("Take my heart when you go"). This is the telling of Akecheta's journey to consciousness.

Kiksuya Ratings & Reviews
Cultured Vultures
Huw Saunders
Kiksuya has already been praised as the best episode of the season, and possibly the show, and quite rightly too. This is due not just to McClarnon's performance, but the way this previously unknown narrative is linked with light touches here.
Black Nerd Problems
William Evans
Maaaaaan, Maeve gotta have more life in her.
What the Flick?!
Kim Horcher
I am furious because we could've been following Akecheta this whole time instead of Dolores!
What the Flick?!
Matt Atchity
[Akecheta's] emotional devastation that happens in this really, really resonates well. I think this is really well written, it's very well shot...McClarnon nails it acting wise.
The Verge
Bryan Bishop
There's a lot to unpack in the episode, but one of the most interesting questions it answers goes all the way back to the beginning of the show.
Stuff.co.nz
Ben Strang
We also saw the power of Maeve again in this episode... her mind is as powerful as ever.
Guardian
Paul MacInnes
Zahn McClaron gives a great performance in Westworld's most concerted character study to date. It's made poignant because of the way he makes all the emotional beats count, particularly the first and final moments he shares with Kohana.
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
I love the way writers Carly Wray and Dan Dietz structured this story...
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
And as interesting as the hosts are, their awakenings (as this episode showed) follow the same pattern, meaning the show continues to keep viewers at an emotional distance.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
McClarnon is a formidable actor, and it's like witnessing an amazing sleight of hand to see his previously sidelined character suddenly command attention... But much of the hour fell into that old Westworld...
indieWire
Liz Shannon Miller
"Kiksuya" challenged the definitions of how we see these characters, pushing deeper into the past and the present, reminding us just how many layers there are to this story, and how much further we have to go.
The Atlantic
David Sims
I loved watching the old techs realize what an intense creation Akecheta was, when he finally did allow himself to visit the park's lower decks.
Independent (UK)
Christopher Hooton
I spent the first 40 minutes of this week's Westworld wondering if HBO hadn't accidentally stuck on an episode that was cut from the first half of season one... Fortunately, this was all going somewhere...
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
If you want something done right, give it to actor Zahn McClarnon to do.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
With just one episode, Akecheta enters the final two episodes as a realized character who will doubtless have some kind of impact the climax.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Film Crit Hulk
"Kiksuya" finally lets us into the beautiful story of Akecheta, elegantly brought into the deeper humanity behind the lore of the show.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Sunday's episode finally gave Ghost Nation a voice. And it proved a powerful one. The slow, contemplative episode might not have enough violence and plot twists for some Westworld viewers, but it was a beautiful hour of TV
Hollywood Reporter
Josh Wigler
The most moving episode of the series yet, epic in scope and soul, simultaneously personal and massive in how it reframes not only the Ghost Nation corner of the park, but the show's themes and arcs at large.
New York Times
Scott Tobias
This week's episode, titled "Kiksuya," included a couple of big, homestretch-of-the-season moments, but it was mostly a discrete and digestible unit, bringing one piece of the periphery into full view.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
While I'm not sure we learn much here that we didn't already know or suspect, it's still emotionally satisfying to spend this much time with a single character, getting to see how they came to be and what drives them.
