Westworld



There are a few scenes from the 2nd episode, but it's not really spoilers, IMO.
 
So you walk from a stationary room to a moving train, that suggests the park is a holodeck right?
 
Maybe the REAL WORLD is the holodeck and Westworld is real!?

Did he say something about Robot sex? He knows a lot about that I;ve heard.,

He said something about his ex-wife Talulah Riley being in Westworld and how she "does a great job playing a deadly sexbot" and people thought he was being nasty about her but she actually did play a sexbot in the second episode and did a good job so maybe he just saw a preview.

I know in the film your guns couldn't shoot other humans, but what is to stop you accidentally scalping on of the other guests?

That's how it was supposed to work, yeah. Did the too-early-to-be-called-a-Terminator-Terminator figure out how to wangle the don't-shoot-at-humans-sensor in his gun so he could shoot humans? The original movie never really explained that.

Or why in the walrus-mustachio-ed fuck they'd put infrared optical sensors in a glorified theme park animatronic.

Or why the doors to the control room would be designed so that if the power went out, the people inside would be trapped in there and suffocate to death. That seems like something that should not have made it past some pretty basic engineering guidelines.

Or suggests that the train just sways back and forth a little and all the "windows" are just curved displays showing a "hey, you're passing through some desert-y landscape" screensavers all synced together.
 
Well after episode 3 it seems my theories are confirmed. (albeit I guess it was fairly obvious from the start) People are Trying to make the robots evolve. And, now I think Ed Harris' gunslinger character is either Arnold, or works for him. I think the Black guy does too. He's wanting to recreate his dead son. Each episode definitely has a "groundhog day" feel. But it doesn't bother me, and it's the perfect narrative if you're a pleasure bot. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series so far. And is that one guy Delores shot Trevor from GTA 5?
 
It's a bit weird that Bernard had never heard of Arnold before. Surely if Arnold co-created the robots with Ford he would have been famous?
 
You would think it wouldve been common knowledge, but then again, they had 30 years to make people forget. I wonder if Arnold ever left the park, or if he's the riddle at the center of the so called maze.
 
Some of this episode was so dark I couldn't tell what was happening :mad:

The guy robot who bashed himself in the head, did he do that on his own or did they make him do it?
 
He did it himself. It was robosuicide.

This week's speculation is that Bernard is a robot and Ford only just came up with the "dead son" backstory for him and that's why it wasn't mentioned before this episode. Of course that's probably not true!
 
I was thinking towards the end of this week's episode that it might've been more interesting if the show had been presented as a straight up Wild West period drama, we'd only ever seen things from the hosts point of view and had to slowly piece together the mystery of their existence as they did.

Somehow I find it less intriguing knowing so much more than they do, when they're the most sympathetic characters.

Of course, the original movie would have to have never existed for that story to be a surprise.

And people who'd tuned into a drama about cowboys would be pissed off to find out they're all frakkin robots.
 
I like how the western bits are really good western, and how the robot bits are really good sci fi.
 
How was Hopklins able to pause all the robots with just a thought?

Again the "can you hurt another guest" was hinted at, but not really answered.
 
Maybe they were all set to pause as soon as the waiter starting pouring the wine.

I assume the park is aware that the Indians have developed a religion around the people in biohazard suits and think it's harmless?
 
It's definitely strange that it seems like anything outside of the main town is ignored. That is, until one of the droids go crazy. But you think the Indians worshipping the extraction team would be an issue worth addressing. Maybe it's something that's gone unnoticed, somehow. I can't wait to see the conversation between Hopkins, and Harris next episode.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if they've been watching everything with Thandie Newton and it's happened many times before and they just wipe her memory every time. Maybe they think the Indian religion thing is funny.

Delores seems to be a different case and Bernard is leaving her unwiped on purpose to see how far she'll go.
