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 !

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.

We've blasted through the first...7, I think? episodes over the last several days. Very engrossing as entertainment while, I fear, maybe pretty dumb in its plotting and world building (I guess we'll see how things ultimately shake out). Mostly, I'm greatly enjoying it as a show that follows a couple of androids on their journey toward self-awareness (Wood and Newton are fantastic), and the rest is mostly post-L O S T window dressing.

people who are still watching this or plan to do shouldn't read this thread because it's spoilers all over the place !
regarding the soundtrack, I really like the Radiohead's "exit music" instrumental version. I like it more than Radiohead's version, actually, which has never been a favourite.It has a morricone feeling, it's dark and moving and fits perfectly with the final scene, which somehow might be my favourite moment of the whole season !
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 14 December 2016 12:58 (seven years ago) link
So the consensus here is that this was bad? You guys are weird. I thought the ending was pretty satisfying. This mostly worked for me as a developmental psychology narrative with a side of shooting + boobies.
― My Lunch Is Older Than Your Lunch (Old Lunch), Friday, 16 December 2016 14:48 (seven years ago) link
It was fine. By the end I was sort of wishing this whole season had just been a preamble/prologue movie a la the BSG "pilot" (which wasn't very good, but saved them a ton of exposition time and let them get straight to the point with the first proper episode)

I made the mistake of briefly chiming in when people were discussing this in my office and now I have a coworker emailing me theories they found.
― Evan, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:46 (seven years ago) link
I don't even know what there is to really theorize about at this point, beyond like 'what are the other Worlds?'. Most of the big questions were resolved.
― My Lunch Is Older Than Your Lunch (Old Lunch), Friday, 16 December 2016 16:49 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I didn't read the email so I'm not really sure what it was a theory of exactly, at this point.

So I just finished ep 7 (the big Ford/Bernard revelation) and it was really bad, like either the writing dropped off a cliff or the change in focus of the showmade it harder to ignore the bad writing and just roll with the exploration and weird shit. Is this worth 3 more hours? I found the first 5 episodes fun as hell even if it was all kind of dumb. Does it become fun to watch again or am i in for nothing but boring people having ponderous conversations about the important themes of the robot sex playground?
― JoeStork, Monday, 19 December 2016 23:07 (seven years ago) link
the apex of the show for me was when the bird lands on Maeve's finger and then CLIFFHANGER; couldn't wait to see what happened next and i shoulda just stopped there.

iow the latter, not the former
Pretty much what I expected
― JoeStork, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 00:20 (seven years ago) link
This series needed a bit of humor. It's all so dire and sad. It kind of reminded me of the last couple years of Battlestar Galactica meets Red Shoes Diaries.
Best episode was #4 when the Maeve realized she was 'living in a dream'. It's the only episode that I thought worked on it's own. She was really the only character that was all that interesting as everyone else is so flat and reserved.
For TV scifi, it is pretty middling. It has to be considered a disappointment considering the budget.
― earlnash, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 00:39 (seven years ago) link
Got around to watching the film today. Hadn't realised it was directed by Crichton, knew he wrote it.That's got some flaws in it a bit similar to the tv show. AI in a mobile humanoid with the contemporary technology. When even the robot head is half hollow anyway.Robots shut down over night but guests still wake up next to them in the morning.It's an interesting idea but a bit of a bmovie.
