Android's developing self-conscious in an artificial world

Critically Acclaimed Actors, Intriguing plot, Gorgeous Cinematography, and that Budget

After a second viewing, I'm picking up more computer MMO RPG game references. The original movie was based on Disney-style theme parks, but this new version is more based on computer games. The Hosts then are NPC characters that are supposed to follow a set script. The first time I watched, my expectations from the original movie led me to think that maybe Ed Harris was a robot that escaped 30 years ago and found a way to pass as human. But now I'm taking his "game" references at face value.

Looks like there's a river boundary that separates the "safe zone" in town from the wilderness outside. They mentioned that there's more "adult" content not suitable for children on the other side of the river. I assume some kind of non-deadly "Player vs Player" combat can take place there. The Man in Black/Gunslinger is bored of just killing off NPC hosts, so now he might be trying to find a way to "hack" or exploit the game to become a "Player Killer" for real. Getting away with murder, without attracting the attention of the team running the game.

I was actually IN the Ultima Online beta back in 1997, when THIS happened:

Dope analysis breh

Creepy show

Robots becoming sentient bothers me.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

This is probably one of my favourite tropes in films/ shows - 'Cacs Playing God'

It's a cast iron guarantee that their whole shyt goes sideways every time

They did 'creepy' really well. That scene where the Bill android gets in the bodybag and zips it up from the inside was

And they've already inadvertedly built a robot army

Ed Harris out here like a Mr. Robot stan - looking for other levels and meaning to the game that no-one else can understand

IN for the moment where one of the programmers is "Deep and Dreamless slumber. Deep and Dreamless Slumber DEEP AND DREAMLESS SLUMBER WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!?! DEEP AND DREAMLESS SLUMBER "

Pristine Actors, Cinematography, and that Budget, tho

I thought that too, but he wasn't able to be killed. Plus, wouldn't they be able to spot him unless he's on some Agent Smith shyt

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Guys, I had a nightmare off of this shyt last night

Maybe it left a stronger impression on me more than I originally thought. I really didn't like the pilot, but I think it was because I gave control issues, and sci-fi stories like this just bother me on a gut level. I'm gonna give it one more shot off of the strength of it infecting my dreams alone.

Is there any source material/background that would make things a little clearer before I watch the next episode?

Idk. Watch the original movie

 

[Lootpack]

Anybody noticed the voice actor for GTA V's Trevor was in this episode?

 

[StraxStrax]

I like the look and premise but I did not find a single character remotely interesting

Anybody noticed the voice actor for GTA V's Trevor was in this episode?

Tell me more

 

[Lootpack]

Tell me more

He was the bandit boss who killed Dolores' father in the beginning.

 

[FlyRy]

also what was with the motherfukkers drinking milk?

He's leon's ancestor

 

[5StarElite]

It is weird how corporate is disregarding Ed Harris. I know he paid his bread so if he wanna go around wacking hosts all day that's cool, but pulling dude scalp off and finding that map/code I think should've raised so flags on dude.

I think he might be plugged with someone who works for corporate. Or maybe he's tryna find a way to control em. Who knows

 

[Jello Biafra]

I was intrigued by the first ep but not completely wowed. I am curious to see how the glitches start effecting the rest of the Hosts.
And I was completely shocked by Ed Harris being human since I just assumed from photos of how he was dressed that he would be playing the Yul Brenner Host character from the OG movie.
