WestWorld: ...Where nothing can possibly go worng!

if u hold down the shift key the website will send u a garbled transmission from anthony hopkins, here is the map

oh that seems to be missing the main towns

there u go, had to figure out how to take a screenshot w/o using the shift key lol

so the story is basically going south ?
the part where nobody ever came back is the "under construction" area, I suppose ?

came back from...

i think under construction is where hopkins is building his new thing

maybe that's not exclusive and the reason why it's a "no go zone" ?
otherwhise where would the "no go zone" be since they were in the ghost nation area ?

Oddly just rechecked that Westworld site and it partially loaded but then just went to a black page saying that 'I'm Sorry Destination westworld isn't available in the country you're in'. Thought it would just go to a 404 message or something, if it wasn't going to load.

Not sure what the story is on distribution over here so wonder if there is any chance somebody might pick up the website for the area.

Sounded from the comment earlier that Sky were redirecting elsewhere from the URL, I'm assuming that would be UK. I couldn't tell if what i'm getting is just Ireland or outside the US and related. But would think a site like taht would be promotional material that they would want to have widely available.

ya hopkins new thing and the place no one ever came back from being the same place wld make sense, tho i got the impression they were looking out over the part labeled canyons (cause there were canyons)

tho iirc there was something abt hopkins building a canyon too

but there was a river between them and the "no go zone" and if I understand the map correctly there would be a river between the south west of ghost nation and the "under construction" area...

Lecter's canyon-building project is in the Under Construction zone and you see the gigantic earth-eater approaching the agave plantation hacienda.

The place Bernard goes and finds the cozy Devonshire cottage with Lecter's family may be in that zone but it's not clear - a tech tells Bernard merely that it's an area reserved for future storylines. The theater where Elsie goes to find the transmitter is merely said to be in an abandoned area. The three flavors of off-limits (under construction, reserved, and abandoned) may be the same or different, once assumes.

there's no thread for it but if you're getting tired of this then Insecure on HBO is really good!!

another interesting thing is that the "under construction" goes over the sea !
Waterworld !

looks good ty!

http://i.imgur.com/GzdbTHU.jpg makes you think...

I feel like Reddit-style plot-sleuthing over Westworld says more about the scripts' incoherence than the actual mysteries

FUTUREWORLD
it me

xp imo it says more about the habitual delving into scripts as some airtight explanation of a complete fictional world and not just a show you watch and enjoy

I'm all in favor of people doing so in favor of making their own homegrown Westworld tabletop rpg or slash fiction or w/e but when it's just in the service of endless avclub-style "is this a good show" thinkpieces I die inside

at least the people who are probably on tumblr trying to figure out if it's ethical to fuck a robot horse have a goal in mind

sexyrobothorsepics

otm

Oh, yeah, it's just fun to speculate. I have no illusion that the creators have a grand and unbreakable master plan so that errybody is like "wait, this bush needs to be two inches to the left to line up with the maps and schematics that we released online that are, like, totally canon." This mode of thinking is sub-Galaxy Quest, but it's a fun distraction in a time where some of us need such.

FUTUREWORLD
it me

lol

seems dumb that the robots' only override is a vocal command. what if it's loud outside?

can i just say that "where nothing can possibly go worng!" is probably the best tagline of all time

agreed

it's from golden-era Simpsons (the westworld/jp-spoofing episode) so yeah

it was on the original movie poster

Haha shut my mouth. So Simpsons ripped off westworld

The worng! makes it

Futureworld tagline accurate for 2016

Shea Serrano is funny

I watched the one episode of Westworld where the main robot girl kills Oscar Isaac and then escapes off the compound and it was really good. That was probably my favorite episode. It was funny when Oscar Isaac danced. Oscar Isaac is such a good actor. I wish they’d have let him be in more Westworld episodes before killing his character. I’d have liked to know more about him.

if anyone ever fixes the spelling of "wrong" in this thread title I'm quitting ilx

"not in her character"
"end of her story"

now they're officially just fucking with us

seems like two timelines = confirmed

what r they

no wait nevermind, it could still be all one

Talulah Riley (who played the host in white who introduces William to the park) shows up again and MIB says "I thought you were retired?" but on further consideration this is a fake-out

uh yeah he has been visiting for a bit

There are totally two timelines, though. The movie, where the not-convincingly-humans with the bad hand movements flipped out and killed all the guests, and the HBO series

what the movie had that the tv series lacks is the fourth-wall breaking dude who practically did the bugs bunny "eh, ain't I a rascal?" routine

seriously, there is a dude whose role is entirely reaction shots to sell the fact he's doing all this wild shit. but the two shots are him playing with a gun and accidentally shooting a mirror and him making this silly face after waking up and realizing there's a sex worker robot in his bed

I have yet to watch Futureworld to see if it's pseudo-canon

original Westworld set was small enough you could run to the Roman world from there, and also sneak into the command center, so presumably the spot where Fore popped out in view of the church steeple was the original area

*Ford, sheesh

uh why is Dolores's home the 1973 Westworld movie set

:o

now your other posts make more sense

lol did I post that to the wrong thread? oopsy

I didn't even catch that they seemingly confirmed Elsie's death in this one. Seems like overly short shrift, if so.
