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

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 :

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.

some days it's good to read the last few posts before you do that

so sad that woman killed herself though

rip too fine to live

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 !

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.

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 got a good reality cross-check when my previous manager at work walked by my desk last week and exclaimed, "Have you seen Westworld? Wasn't that great?"

WW is the new MBDTF

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.

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.

Yeah I didn't read the email so I'm not really sure what it was a theory of exactly, at this point.

do the robots fuck each other when no guests are around

Do the robots have hollowed-out control rooms inside their heads that are operated by tinier robots?

Is Westworld itself actually a giant robot?

is westworld just dumb or what??

do the robots fuck each other when no guests are around

we've seen them do this!

yeah man but we were watching it. fourth wall

fifth wall, the robot wall

hmm yeah

If two robots fuck in an amusement park with no one there to see them....

Do androids ream electric sheep?

applause

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 show
made 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?

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

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.

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.

Saw the movie for the first time tonight. Other than the chase, which was typically four times longer than it needed to be, thought it was pretty good. Inspired casting with Brynner. Didn't think it took itself too seriously--some droll humour throughout--but it got its dystopian premise across in an interesting way, and maybe it was prophetic with the idea of computers infecting other computers, I don't know (were computer viruses common knowledge in 1973?). Spent the whole film trying to figure out where I knew this guy from:

http://www.cinemorgue2.com/alanoppenheimer1.jpg

Alan Oppenheimer: it was the Helter Skelter TV movie I was thinking of, but he also appears to have been in every single TV series made from about 1968-1980.

They played Futureworld right after, but I just wasn't going to last.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeper_(program) - 1971.

Colossus & Guardian decided to take all this shit over together back in 1966, though they cooperated as a pair.

Thanks. Figured Chrichton took it from somewhere...Maybe the movie was one of the first mainstream treatments?
