Westworld

[MadJohnShaft]

It's going to go... OMG he was a robot all along. No wait! Everyone is a fucking robot!

[Jor el]

   Yyyyyeeeep

[sleestak]

And then Anthony Hopkins will be God.  The End(?)

Unless the meanie cowboy looking for the maze has anything to say about it!

Holy fuck just reading this thread tells me how fucking terrible this is.

That one guy looks exactly like Christian Slater. All I can think of is Pump up the Volume every time he's on screen

[stooge]

looks like slater indeed
last episode was brilliant
hbo got big plans with this show so i read
they are planning to feature the other "worlds" (ancient rome and middle ages) of the ´73 film as well and create new ones not featured in the original movie (my bet: mob era chicago will be one of them)
hope they don´t screw it up

God, what an overwritten and pretentious mess this turned out to be. I watched all episodes in the course of a week (binge-watching lite) but that made all these reccuring loops even more tiresome. And the overacting made sense in the beginning (robots performing narratives in a themepark etc.) but especially Evan Rachel Wood became unbearable to watch. Every silly twist was simply explained with overwritten code except for the big one but
[spoiler]if two actors play the same character at different ages they should at least try to act in similar ways. I am not talking about looling alike, Ed Harris and Jimmi Simpson had absolutly nothing in common. At least Harris should be capable of more. [/spoiler]

Big TV-letdown of 2016.

I have to kinda agree
I so wanted to like this and it started quite good but it really turned sour after like episode three
the robots revenge scene in the last episode was quite cool but between the good first three episodes and this it was plain boring
Overwritten quite nails it
They were definitely trying too hard

[MadJohnShaft]

The Maevre character story line sort of saved it for me.

[sleestak]

It definitely got better after my initial frustration.

[stooge]

i actually think it started way better than it ended
everything got so horribly overblown towards the end

[sleestak]

I kept falling asleep during the first 4.   I guess I'll check out season 2.   Not that necessary but there is a post credits scene.

hhmmm... that sounds familiar...

The Maevre character story line sort of saved it for me.

I wish the show centered on her, Ford,  Bernard, and the outside world,  rather than weepy Dolores.

They could get rid of the 'evil corporate takeover', the douchebag, the man in black and that really stupid 'maze' storyline.

The scenes with the two nerds that work on the Robots down in the basement could be a high point of the show but those actors are joyless. Painful.

They could keep the idea of William without him being only presented as traumatized. He could have moral quandaries that we, as viewers, would obviously have. He could be overly curious about the Disney corp instead of a more generic 'what the fuck is this place'.

Then we could meet the bad guys and all that corporate stuff in later seasons.

SIII

Horrible music... Jesus H.

Do they have sex robots in West World?

Just finished season 2 & I'll tell you what I couldn't help but notice:

[spoiler]IT'S ALL HORSESHIT.[/spoiler]

[juan11]

Hate this more than ever.

[juan11]

I'm stupid, so I watched a couple of season 3.  Is this show about anything?

I might cancel HBO.
