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

lex otm, tho i still enjoyed this as dumb entertainment

i thought william murdered logan

i also thought that -- sent him off into the wilderness on the horse and left him to die

where he has amassed a group of misfit wildling androids who will feature prominently in season two

That was my first thought too, but it seems like there would have been greater fallout from that, especially if William is supposed to have come back to his father-in-law and been like "hey, that place was great, we should definitely invest in its future!"

xp

I'm not sure I really understand how it works but I thought the guests and hosts locations were monitored despite their freedom, and you'd think there would be some security in place to keep guests from wandering off and dying.

and those are just a few of the many truck sized plot holes

Well that's the thing I'm not sure what is implied in regards to Logan's fate.

If it's in the past it may be before the monitoring was that good

I only watched a couple of episodes of lost but it's funny that people were worrying that this last episode wouldn't provide any answers when they should have been worrying about 90 minutes of "answers" being hella boring

I hope what Nolan/Joy do NOT try and do next season is try and retcon all of the plot holes. Cuz I could see them spending the whole season on it.

hope its just a big robot cult orgy

well predictably, the final was a mess.
the worst part being the william/mib story reveal.
the security at the HQ during the escape of Maeve's crew was also embarrasing (what a good idea to go alone in the middle of all the robots to try and find these killer escaping hosts !).
also wtf the techguy planing to rape Hector !?
gods are pussies indeed.
that said, I kinda enjoyed the nihilism and robots uprising/board massacre at the end.
At the end of the season, after all these tedious moments, it brought some satisfaction. a bit like a child breaking all his toys !

I doubt I'll watch s2 though...

oh and so Dolores was Wyatt !

"also wtf the techguy planing to rape Hector !?"

what? who is hector? did I sleep through this?

This is Hector:

a whole season of retcons would be sort of hilarious tbh, like the ending to a episode of "Xavier: Renegade Angel"

I can recommend a film where this happens after like 15 minutes

I do think it's funny how this thread has been like 90% "fuck this awful show" for 10 weeks. For me it's the first time I've been watching along & "in the conversation" for a bad tv show that I actively disliked (as opposed to a bad show I enjoy), it's much more fun to make fun of than to watch but other than that I have trouble explaining why I (or anyone) watched all the way to the end. Granted I was browsing ilx during a lot of it and never once paid the slightest attention whenever Hopkins the world's most boring mad scientist was talking as it was such obvious terrible rubbish, and it was "only" ten hours, but still

The "metafictional" elements are of no conceivable use to anyone unless they have literally never thought about anything before or have a thinkpiece quota to fill

My friend says the control and repair areas are just another "world" in which the Asian dude is a guest.

I have trouble explaining why I (or anyone) watched all the way to the end

it was never quite bad enough to stop or escape the feeling that lurking somewhere in it was a really good show

i didn't even think it handled its ~philosophical pretensions on the nature of consciousness stupidly, just...slowly

I don't know, my wife smelled a rat in episode two, which also put her to sleep. That's when we jumped RoboShip.

The soothing smell of rats...

Do Androids Dream of Electric rats?

Last night while trying to get some tiny amount of fitful sleep against a bunch of flu symptoms that hit me all at once like a truck (I got my shot, wtf) I had a dream, clear as day, that they had a fantasy setting park, but since the host dragons couldn't actually fly, they had to hide a functioning autogyro/hovercraft thing inside and a human pilot had to fly it. There were other shim technologies for magic but not as specific as the dragon-belly-aircraft bit.

This post brought to you by Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus.

so I was wondering : what is the huge construction area that ford started ? is it the old town that was dug out ? or some kind of land of the free were the hosts will be able to live and fight the Man in the next season ?

It isn't as bad as the old series anyway.

I never watched Lost so don't have that as a comparison. Not sure what else there is comparable.

Have been enjoying Humans the Channel 4 remake of a Danish show also exploring AI. Though I think that has its flaws too. Have wondered what the original is like though.

Still wondering just how vast the area of the park is. Somebody was it Logan mentioned it was prety huge in the last episode.
Also wondering what is next to the park. Almost sounded like William took Logan to the edge of teh park and then set him loose off the edge. INto what I don't know. It looked pretty green though.
& I've been half thinking that the only reason you could have vast space for park is if the adjoining land was in some way damaged/needing reclaim. Still not sure exactly how far in the future this is set.

What was shown of towns has looked like it's neon but not sure how far from present taht would make things. & maybe Neon is a thing that is no longer taht futuristic anyway.

Do wonder what season 2 will bring us. Some coherence?

during the final scene on the beach, it was obvious that the moon was artificial. which means that the whole world is actually artificial (moon,sun, sky...). like in the Truman Show !
so who knows where the park is set considering that...

thinking about it, the music is pretty good in the show (the saloon piano covers didn't become as over the top as could be feared). and the heavy use of Radiohead (especially OK Computer) obviously makes sense for these paranoid androids !

The moon was artificial how? I missed that.

They copied and pasted the winking emoji over the man in the moon

The moon was artificial how? I missed that.

Well, it's not said or shown (I think ?) but it seemed obvious to me !
after a quick search, I found this :

All right guys, now rewind the whole series and watch it again. This time not looking, but seeing. #Westworld #WestworldFinale

and make sure you listen instead of hearing

let's bot and say we did

i think that "fake moon" was just a spotlight used for that particular scene set up for the investors, but would have to re-watch to comfirm. which i won't.

let's bot and say we did

petition to make this the title for the eventual s2 thread

I figured it was going to be...Westworld Season 2: It Doesn't Look Like Anything to Me
