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

someone from the board coming to visit was seen as pretty unexpected

idk I don't have to justify it, ppl who have run into Bernard don't know what Arnold looked like, end of line

Exactly, so if he can't prepare for everything then building an Arnold replica is quite risky.

Ultimately- whatever, it bothers me uniquely because it can't be explained away as easily as anything else that doesn't quite make sense. That's all.

if someone did figure it out he'd prob just be like oh yeah that's my robot lol

Exactly, so if he can't prepare for everything then building an Arnold replica is quite risky.

he also appears to be totally insane so maybe he just thought "ah, fuck it"

I mean he's more in the calculated evil genius mold at the moment which is sort of opposite, but I'll go with that.

so bernard is a robot & also arnold huh, looks like everybody in the entire world guessed right. wish they'd just had one unbelievably long slow boring reveal for both those pieces of information instead of two. How many of these are left? The fun is draining out so fast for me.

I did like post-massacre psychobilly doing his most mcpoyley acting yet.

he really should have said he was thirsty from killing all those robots and could use a big old glass of milk

lmao

since there's only one ep left I guess they're going to empty their bag of reveals in that one : it will be christmas !
(and they'll try to figure out how to make sense of it all in the next season...) like they did in the middle of s1...

Production was temporarily halted for a couple of months in early 2016 so that showrunners Nolan and Joy could complete the scripts for the last four episodes of the first season

what is even left to reveal other than that William = MiB

oh I'm sure they will find plenty of things to surprise us...

what's up with the MAZE ! the new story/world built by Ford in the part under construction of the park ! Maeve becomes a member of the board ! Dolores' former father is Wyatt ! Logan fucks Elsie's corpse and brings her back to life ! Dolores and Teddy are reunited and kill everybody they meet (which definitely pushes William to the dark side and he steals Logan's black clothes) ! the security guy kidnapped by the indians becomes one of them with the name little big man ! the host dog killed by the kid following Bernard/Arnold's order contained all the big data ! the asian tech guy brings Theresa back to life after his successful attempt with the bird ! Charlotte is killed in the british story guy's story/plot against Ford !

and of course, many more massacres !

Elsie is probably still alive. No onscreen death typically says as much in these shows.

yeah, definitely. speaking of which, as someone pointed out upthread, Bernard being able to get there to get her while he was still with Theresa when she called him was a bit eh...

very glad that Bernard and Arnold are same dude now, since I couldn't keep their names straight

Bernarnold J. Exposition

I suspect if the last episode isn't mindblowing we will have to deal with some whiny internet letdown narrative until season 2, which will be way more annoying than the actual show

I suppose but I doubt anyone will force you to consume westworld content in the interim

Kind of looking forward to the finale not being mindblowing, which will mean I can have closure on a mildly disappointing but not wholly worthless cultural product and never have to think about it again

I have a horrible feeling they're saving Full Maeve for s2 though

I think they will go for a wtf cliffhanger that the shitty british dickhead author would be proud of !

i see a secondary market for a S1 DVD - insomniacs

this show is all kinds of inconsistent but I don't care, I still find it very enjoyable. except I do fall asleep in the middle of every episode for five-ten minutes.

i thought they already showed wyatt at some point. I fell asleep when they discussed that dude's (the guy who was in love with dolores) backstory in episode 3 or 4 though when all that was introduced and have been slightly confused ever since.

wtf I hadn't picked up on that at all. I also fell asleep again in the middle of this episode though.

im realizing i slept through a lot of the show but i dont want to rewatch it can someone explain what happened with bernard, im gather that it was revealed that hes an arnold clone and then anthony hopkins turned him off?

ha ha I typically fall asleep in the last ten minutes of each episode and figure I pretty much know what happened

I fell asleep in three of the mid-season episodes too

I love Star Trek & Wars and consistently fall asleep through them. Maybe part of the charm

I never fell asleep. but got more and more bored/impatient...
there must be something genius in this show to make people keep watching despite that !

this thread is v much "the food here is terrible ... and in such small portions" territory

the thing abt this show is the concepts are good but the execution is bad

haha yep fell asleep a few times here too, normally that only happens around midnight

this thread is v much "the food here is terrible ... and in such small portions" territory

Who is the only character in Westworld that will turn out not to have been a robot?
The Old Boss in the basement probably

its robots controlled by turtles, my theory

what if they take a really interesting turn and Ford reports to his masters, the alien greys, in the last episode

Queen Elizabeth in her reptilian form arrives in HBO-series-crossover shocka

in last episode the robots leave the park and find out that Earth has been a nuclear wasteland for decades. One of them picks up a charred "Trump 2020" poster and says, "If only they'd known. If only they had a warning."

OMG i thought don't-call-me-billy was about to take logan's hand there..

not sure how many more scenes we need of anthony hopkins walking aimlessly around some furniture while he delivers page after page of dry backstory

four

this hopkins performance is one of the most mailed in things ive ever seen

I was just remembering more perfunctory acting jobs to list and groaned so hard in memory I strained my back

and why has Ford stopped having chats and drinks with buffalo bill in the fridge ?
maybe it's time to have a poll about our favourite character in the show. I suppose Maeve would win it easily. Or Dolores.

Lawrence

well, Lawrence seemed to matter and be important for a while... then he totally disappeared !

The forced gravitas in this show is excruciating

I need at least one more Hopkins speech about anthropology

Maybe at some point Hopkins will eat someone (or a host).
"I like to consume them moist !"

also, I realized recently that Harris had played in another show blurring the line between reality and virtuality... the truman show !

maybe it's time to have a poll about our favourite character in the show. I suppose Maeve would win it easily. Or Dolores.

i think they both put in v good performances (and they're both super h0t).

if yr into bots

the hydraulic model sexier than the genetic material model - pistons really rev my engine

Regarding Maeve/T. Newton I think she must have the contract with the most nudity in it or something. she's naked like half of her screentime !
