What about the fucking guns, how do they work? In the hands of hosts they kill both hosts and guests but in the hand of guests they kill only hosts?

chenGOD Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 S03E01 was a clusterfuck. Like everything was just mashed together. Episodes 2 and 3 were better. But I'm inclined to agree that they've bitten off more than they can chew here. I'll watch though, the visuals are pretty and the near-future tech is cool.

chenGOD Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The problem with this season is there's nothing really that interesting about it from a sociological/psychological perspective. No questions about consciousness/self-awareness, nothing really existential. It's not bad, but so far it's not as good as the first two seasons.

Right, which (the bold part) is frankly, not very interesting. It’s been covered a lot elsewhere, and better. I preferred it when they dealt with the first part of your post, i.e. what is consciousness and should sentient robots have rights etc. That’s still such a new field that there is a lot to say about it. I suppose the tie-in between the two concepts is understandable, but I feel they could do more on the robot rights thing. the gamification aspect I can kind of see. I just think her motivations and actions have been very inconsistent this season, so maybe that will be explained through a monologue...? Spoiler How ridiculous was that party drug Jesse Caleb got jabbed with. Topkek And why didn’t Liam Dempsey figure out right away that his security guard had been replaced? The android wouldn’t have the same signal to the glasses right? Especially with Dolores’ consciousness in his head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allize Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 this episode was the best one yet from the season. That's not saying much though. Ah yes that drug thing from te previous episode was ridiculous. No explanation can justify it. The directors should be ashamed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so - I liked the first uh maybe 2/3rds of it. Spoiler But the fact that Hale/Dolores can take out that many security goons, and that Serac wouldn't think to cutoff her access to control systems once he's revealed he knows who she is, and that the hosts can suddenly live through getting burnt to a crisp (I'm sure they "died" from much less trauma in season 01)...that last 15 minutes was ridiculous. I am interested in the William plot though, and how that will all tie together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
may be rude Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) i'm liking s3. easier to watch than s2. s2 was kind of hit and miss, probably because they alternated directors for each episode, but also because they were kind of straddling the challenges of maintaining loose ends from s1 and bridging the story with the inevitable breaking-out from the park. also the samurai stuff seemed obligatory because they teased it in s1, when it seemed like an awesome idea. maybe it will pay off with the big maeve vs delores matrix-esque samurai fight that i think is coming.

Dpek Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I enjoyed Westworld season 1 right up until the point Mae (is she called Mae? The prostitute bot) shot up mostly EVERYONE in the complex, got through the door and then sat down in the train. There were people in the train and everything was operating normally, like there wasn't a massacre just a room away. This feeling persisted throughout season 2 which I didn't even finish. It's like they write shit just to write it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they write shit just to write it. That's basically a problem with all action tv shows/movies, fictional people are just more used to running gun battles, car chases and things exploding around them on a regular basis. It's no big deal. Edited April 22, 2020 by caze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allize Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 so this went down the drain amirite what a shame, first season was stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbot Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) S3 was feeling better and better each episode, but episode 7 kinda was meh. Hopefully will redeem itself with episode 8... dunno. Best way to describe my growing problem with the series, is that it's focused more on gimmicks than actual character development. Half of the characters, IDK why they are even here, as they have barely changed since S1. However at the same time, the series plot is in an interesting position, so it's inconsistent in quality basically. Westworld at this point is worth watching, but just not at a MUST watch level anymore. If it was cancelled tomorrow I'd just be like: "Well it had a decent enough run".

Dolores commits suicide by EMP just to stop Maeve, and kills off the rogue AI? What the fuck? Gimmicks in general. Westworld has always had these "Oh wow wasn't that a twist!" moments, which when coupled with interesting characters and plot then are justified. But the new season, while having interesting moments, and a few of the episodes were good, doesn't justify the plot twist-yness of this season. Feels like there are twists for the sake of twists. Also their need to go back to Westworld when so far season 3 has had nothing to do with westworld or it's parks. Also, Maeve and Bernard has been my two favorite characters in S1 and S2, but they both feel shoehorned in this season, like the showrunners feel obligated to keep them in when they feel kind of irrelevant to the plot as it is currently. Also, I don't get why Dolores feels the need for poetic justice. Doesn't seem like something she'd have cared about in s2. Quote Dolores commits suicide by EMP just to stop Maeve, and kills off the rogue AI? What the fuck? They seem to be hinting that she isn't the main Dolores, and was just another pawn. I'm betting she wasn't the original. Edited April 30, 2020 by Brisbot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
