Downloaded. Great piece of work. 'Room 6' is incredible.

I'm starting to cool towards this a show a little. It is starting to have a very 'Lost' vibe to it - and I don't mean that in a good way. I appreciate that they need to a narrative that keeps you compelled to view but I sure hope they tie things up because it's starting to already feel like they are constructing things that are never going to be explained or will simply get even more bizarre to point where it cannot be explained.
-
I can't believe there is seriously anything left from that time that hasn't already been released. There's like six volumes of archives out there already (plus archived8). -
I hope Bernard doesn't go and build a robot child like William Hurt did in Spielberg's AI to replace the son he lost. That would be lame and predictable.
-
Just watched the third episode again as I was distracted last time. That bit of younger Anthony Hopkins they did on CGI. Probably cost as much as a whole episode of another show. Still trying think what early movie they might have lifted it from.
-
Yeah I agree - although I'd be willing to give them a little longer. Hopefully they don't try and throw too many "quests" into the show. Yeah, I'd give it until the end of the first season but the general public/casual viewer will have made their mind up long before then.
-
That is one show that could derail before your very eyes. Early reviews will probably be glowing about Lynch's weirdness to explain things not making any sense. After a few episodes, people will realise that it just doesn't make sense. Period. I'm on the fence about that show because if you go back to the original - it was an absolute clusterfuck by the end of season 1.
-
I don't think it will become anything like Wayward or a dozen other shows. This is HBO's replacement for when Game Of Thrones starts to wind down. It has a ton of money and talent behind it. It's in a different class to most other shows (acting, photography, visual effects etc). It's obvious just looking at it there on screen. Having said that, it doesn't guarantee success.
-
Yeah, Lindelof. The master of disaster. Everything he writes makes no sense. He was what ruined Prometheus.
-
I think the next two episodes will be crucial as to whether this gets really good with long term potential in terms of plot and development or if it just becomes a confusing mess with no direction like Lost.
-
Jeez, that's bad. It's pretty much my experience of 'Stranger Things' albeit for different reasons.

i tried to watch this last night as i keep hearing from everyone about it. couldn't FUCKING stand it. i think mainly it's jonathan nolan's fault because his treatment of this is too clinical with characters moving in such a restricted and contrived manner it became very distracting for me (eg. the scientists in the lab talking about the androids/robots). the second thing i hated was the casting. the guy who plays the new guy in westworld and meets evan rachel wood just seemed an incorrect casting choice. also, for whatever reason, ed harris is playing the same character he played in a history of violence- right now to the stilted 'upper-body-doesn't-function-properly thing he did. turned it off after he killed that one guy and drags evan rachel wood into a shed. this show is DEFINITELY not for me Surprised you don't like it at all. If the points you mentioned really bother you, I don't think you'll be watching it any further.
-
Episode three was odd. The new storylines seemed forced as though they didn't really know where to take it. A show that will potentially get very complex, I guess. My only worry is that in the wrong hands, it could turn very silly very quickly. Hopefully, they keep things fairly tight.
-
Third episode didn't really gel at all. Overall still enjoying it.
-
The most interesting things for me about the show are stuff like that photograph that made one robot malfunction. Ford told Barnard that it is just the reveries accessing previous builds - in this case, 'the professor' from a horror narrative called 'The Dinner Party' where he played an occultist out in the desert resorting to cannibalism. WTF! And like how Ford in the first episode is drinking with the second robot they ever made. "Shall we drink to the lady in the white shoes." I wonder what the first model was?
-
That's harsh. Sure in the modern age when everything is CGI and so forth, it looks very dated but it's a great example of 70s movie-making. I always enjoyed it. I can think of a hundred lol movies over this one. The 70s Westworld has some great moments in it. It's also a good insight into how film-makers viewed AI during the 1970s.
-
From the wiki on the film : Fumi: so would you say it's safe to watch the film and not expect spoilers for the show? Film looks like it would be a good watch. Definitely. It's a great film in its own right. It wouldn't spoil anything.
-
Either way, you're nowhere near finding out those answers. This series will most likely run for five or six years. Does that particular story line seem like it has that much depth to it? I don't think so - at least not at the pace they've been advancing it. I hope I'm proven wrong and it becomes something substantial - I haven't seen the original film, so don't know if it was covered in there. It wasn't. I've watched the original movie many times. The TV show has already moved substantially away from the themes, atmosphere and plot of the 70s movie. The original film has three distinct worlds within Delos. Probably saving the other worlds for potential future seasons... Yeah the season 1 finale will be the big reveal that there are other themed worlds. That's my guess anyway.

Also, has anyone else noticed in episode 1, the scene where they go down the escalator on the basement level? It looks like an abandoned shopping mall. There is a metal globe in one shot with the word 'Delos' written on it. That's kind of weird because in the original 1973 movie, the place was called Delos. **Edit. It's no big secret. http://www.slashfilm.com/westworld-map-and-contract/

The section I like most was towards the end when Ford is explaining why people return to the park. They don't come back fro cheap thrills. They want subtleties and detail. If it was me, I think I'd just settle for this. Obviously.

Ulrich Schnauss - No Further Ahead Than Today

Bleep pre-orders. https://bleep.com/release/76778-ulrich-schnauss-no-further-ahead-than-today -
Is the digital edition still set for the 24th?

You get the feeling watching this show that they are alluding to the idea that the park itself is enormous - maybe the size of a small country. There are obviously going to many story threads running by the time it gets to season three.
