Anyone watching Westworld - HBO original series

[number51]

Has it been confusing or boring? Delores and maeve have been epically boring

I disagree both characters are very interesting. The man in black is a snooze fest with the daddy daughter story line. S1 he was a bad ass now he's trying to be a good father zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Actually there is one part of Maeve's storyline that is bothering me, the disgraceful amount of clothing she is wearing this season, it's 100% too much.

I'm getting confused with the Bernard story. When is he? are there multiple Bernards walking around?

Different timelines.

altshiftx on youtube explaines it.

I enjoyed that episode last night, best of season 2.

If William, the "Man in Black" survives all those gunshots, he's not human. I know he has those super advanced futuristic med packs but come on, video game shit.

I haven't watched since the 2nd episode. Maybe...maybe I'll catch up one day, but I don't see what story this show could possibly have to tell.

This reminds me of the kind of show I haven't seen in awhile. Before Thrones and this "Golden Age of TV"...when the most talked about shows on TV were True Blood, Weeds, and Dexter. Back then it was obvious that the writers really only had one season in mind when they started writing. And once that ended, they were just started making it up as they went along.

Westworld may not exactly be that, but its rare these days that a season 1 is better than the 2nd.

Seemed like he was still alive. I agree. That should be enough to kill any person.

It's true on the multiple time line front, but there is more going on than just that. Benhardt is having blackouts and memory lapses as well, (maybe even a little bit of Peter Abernathy syndrome as well) as was witnessed when Ford made him use the gun.

So, on top of the Westworld park, Ford created a Matrix like la la land he exist in, and was able to enter previously to do experiments without people knowing?

He's also integrated his virtual body with Bernard and is walking around in real time through him....

I mean, am I missing something? I know this show is trying to run deep, but it seems to have crossed some crazy lines now.

Agreed. On at least two occasions Ford contacted William through hosts. Ford as a child host and El Lazo (Gus Fring bandito) host, that is why William keeps thinking everyone (his daughter and Maeve) is actually Ford trolling him from inside the system. William is right about what Ford is doing, but he is loosing it by thinking every host is Ford messing with him. The same way some posters think everybody is a Novak alt, just being paranoid.

Yesterday’s episode made me happy there are only three total seasons for this show.

I thought it was interesting. To each their own.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

What did you find interesting?

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

I thought it was the best episode of the season. The backstory of ghost nation, how it connects to Maeve(sp?)'s daughter, the emotional torment of remembering your past lives and being trapped, the connection to the philosophical differences between Arnold and Ford.

And I didn't even have to ask myself "what the **** is going on?" at all during the episode.

I couldn't agree more, best episode of the season, and now we know what the eff is going on. A huge AHAAA episode, and come to find out, Akecheta was the first of the hosts to awaken.

And the first episode this season I don't need a translation.

+1

Code_Blue summed it up pretty nicely.

+1000

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

I stopped watching about 2 episodes shy of the end of last season, didn't watch any of this season. I may binge but would need to figure out the confusion that caused me to stop watching first.

I didn't see as much of that myself, but perhaps I am missing something there

I think this mostly has to do with the maze and how Ford was a bit dismissive of it. As far as I understand, the maze is kind of a physical representation of the AI's path to consciousness and free thought. At least early on in the development of the hosts, Arnold seemed more concerned in this "maze journey", whereas Ford saw the AI more as tools. Older Ford seems to be coming around more to this concept, but he always seemed to be concerned with control, which is a pretty big theme in season 1. Even though he essentially opens the flood gates at the end of season 1, he is still in a sense using the AI.

IDK, maybe that's just my interpretation of it. It wasn't directly a huge piece of the episode, but it does play into the Ghost Nation story a little bit.
