Anyone watching Westworld - HBO original series

[ruprecht]

Anyway, I dug the episode and anytime I get to see my girl Thandie is a good time

 

[Ares]

They talked about "other parks"... wonder when we will see any other parks...

Fun fact... that new security guy (Karl Strand) who showed up on the beach with all the soldiers when they found Bernard.... that is Gustaf Skarsgård.... the guy who plays Floki on Vikings.

I had to do a double take and check it.

He looked familiar. I don’t watch Vikings though.

Looking forward to the new parks and Delores and Teddy taking over the world.

There are 6 parks according to the Delos website we only know about 2, Westworld and Shogunworld.

I assume everyone caught that Westworld was actually on an island in the territorial control of the Japanese (?), right? So, it's possible that each park has its own island, or that all/some of them share this island. This has interesting repercussions concerning the rebellion and containment there of.

Island yes, but these guys think it might be in Chinese territory.

"Based on their uniforms, these guys are totally part of the People’s Liberation Army, specifically and appropriately, the Navy. They’re clearly upset about what is happening on the island. Strand says that Delos has total control over what happens on the island, regardless of what their government wants. Strand tells his lackeys to get the military guys to sign an NDA. So, is the Westworld island located in Chinese waters?"

Delos, bunch of amateurs, you want NDA's signed, you send Michael Cohen.

 

[number51]

Well the location of the island(s) gets much more specific. Go to 3:12 to see the exact location, watch it all if you want to really enjoy the show. This guys does a great job of helping me out on some of the fuzzy details, he does the same thing for episodes of GOT. Really an outstanding compliment to the show.

Weak first episode I must say.

Not buying it

Anyone have any idea what this "weapon" they're going after is?

Thought this second episode was much better than the 1st.

Thought this second episode was much better than the 1st.

I’m thinking a biological weapon that would only destroy the humans.

Server with all the info collected on every guest since William took over Delos. They made it pretty explicitly clear that William was pitching to old man Delos the idea of making the parks into giant data farms to use on the rich **** guests; so they have to store all of that somewhere. And just a hint, but I'm guessing a hack, or a leak, or something of his own data is what led to Williams' wife's suicide (William is a standup guy on the outside, but here, where he's free, he's a sick **** that has been raping Dolores et all for the better part of half a century). That would also explain why he refers to it as his "greatest mistake." Also, the Ford-William contentious relationship would benefit from this: Ford is permanently bitter that William hijacked his creation and turned it into a corporate spying tool.

 

[number51]

So before Ford died he programmed a bunch of shit to mess with William , trolling him from beyond the grave. I understand the child version of Ford speaking for him but now we have bandito Gus Fring speaking for Ford. So Ford anticipated Williams first move, is the ghost of Ford going to keep popping up in other hosts?

The scene in the skyscraper was cool.

The scene with Dolores and Maeve was a bit of a letdown, I wanted more. I know they are on very different missions, but a little exchange of information, more interaction would have been cool. It felt like a missed opportunity, maybe their paths cross again down the road.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Maybe ford didn’t die. Maybe he made a clone robot of himself. Conspiracy theory mind fuckery lol

 

[Houston]

At this point, the more narratives and timelines this show opens up, and more wormholes it goes down, the less interesting it gets.

I doubt they have a payoff that justify all of this, just like last season.

I know they have the server with info that could be used to harm peoples personal lives exposing their character IRL for who they actually are, but did wonder if it was a "real" weapon. Think the writers are too in-depth to have a physical weapon to try and bring down human kind though.

 

[Bears_804]

Yeah I like it too. Sunny has a little monster on his hands. Saw that coming. I like the Widow. Is that weird?

Not always the best acting on the show and the fight scenes are crazy insane but it all works for this show.

Like, you like her as a character, or want to do dirty things with her. I think her character is annoying at times, but she plays who she is supposed to as well as she needs to, but I also think she's hot in her own way.

Renewed for a 3rd Season.

 

[Globetrotter]

Show is pretty awesome. Nice having something of some substance without GOT this year.

One of his brother’s is the guy who played Eric Northman on True Blood and Tarzan. The other brother is the clown from IT.

Enjoyable second episode...boy Delores has been soaking it all up since the beggining, she's no dumb fembot.
