looks good ty!

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

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.

it was right before Bernard had his memories wiped. he asked if he'd been made to do violent acts before, followed by a brief flash of him killing Elsie, and Ford saying "oh, of course not"

Wasn't Elsie on the phone to Bernard (who was standing in Teresa's apartment) when she got grabbed?

nah their phone call happened just before that

I'm more willing to accept different timelines as a theory now -- the original town was buried, Dolores and William find it now definitely not buried. Although Ford seeing the steeple sticking up and the acknowledgment by others that he was planning on surfacing the old town could just mean the digging/cleaning robots are really efficient.

bad writer dude's new line, "I eat my victims moist" is some great horrible writing. would definitely think anyone who said that is a scary psycho because wtf

btw I am Wyatt

wtf is going on btw

I think we were being led to believe that Arnold had some funny ideas and maybe was too invested in the androids, but it's quickly becoming clear that Ford doesn't really give a shit about hosts or guests and just likes fucking with people as a great sport

whats up w that town thats only a church steeple, thx in advance i fell asleep some

they buried the original western theme park years ago, idk maybe from tragedy, maybe it just looks janky compared to the new sets

apparently the steeple was the only part sticking out of the ground

Ford (according to something I read, don't really remember this bit) said something about excavating it as part of his new story

it looks like Billy and Dolores are there, now, and it's not buried

uh wait, never mind, when Dolores is there now, it is still buried, she's just having an extended flashback

dolores killed everyone

One problem I'm having with William McPoyle is that he's clearly also Caleb Followill, lead singer and rhythm guitarist in the band Kings of Leon.
