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

or both!

This might be the movie that Knudsen had to get back for, it's out now in France:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5247544/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_4

Danish, English, French YOU'RE JUST SHOWING OFF NOW SIDSE BABETT KNUDSEN

i'm not gonna lie i fell asleep at least once during that last ep

Holy fuck, it appears Sky have hijacked the official website in that it won't load in the UK but redirects to the Sky Atlantic's Westworld page. Fuck this show

https://www.discoverwestworld.com/#

in France it goes here: http://fans.ocs.fr/westworld-series-ocs-ambitieux-subversif-delirant/

If you're trying to check out the website and have a look at the map, you think they'd realise there's a fair chance you're already watching the show

the problem isn't that the show's piling up ridiculous mysteries à la Lost, it's that it's piling up boring mysteries.

I pretty much agree with this. So I still enjoy watching the show but it's not really exciting. Just fun. And maybe less and less...

I like Dolores' plot. A robot falling in love is not original or surprising, but inevitably something they have to explore in this show, and I like that they're kinda doing it in a classic silver screen love story kind of way. I was hoping that the western setting would also allow for some classic western sub plots. As for the shoot-outs it was all fun and games at first but we see now that guests can get in genuine danger and be killed by hosts, if not by the bullets, so there's more to it than before.

yeah, I like Dolores's plot, so far (although her lovers are pretty boring. I mean, Teddy and William...) : the hidden gun, the hidden conversations with Bernard/Arnold, her quest to whatever she'll find...

General derision here and my wife's apparent firm "no" means I won't be traveling back to WestWorld any time soon, but I thought this was funny:

I just got something about the site not being available in the territory I'm in. Though I did get the Delos page.

Lol... it would be amazing if the agency that created the website somehow sold the rights per territory

Maybe it was wrapped up in some "ancillary content" bit of the contract that only HBO paid for.. I dunno, scratching my head over that

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.
