The Official "Westworld" Season 1 Thread

[TheDarceKnight]

This show is mediocre. Ppl just thirsty since got is gone.

It's not The Wire or Breaking Bad, but it's pretty fukking dope.

There's a little bit too much expository dialogue, and a few other issues I have with it. A few plot holes or some logical inconsistencies, but they're telling a big story with a lot of moving pieces, and it's the first season. I'm giving a little bit of leeway. This is the most I've just totally enjoyed a 1st season since True Detective season 1.

I don't even think it's as deep as it thinks it is. But there weren't really any moments in this season that made me want to pick up my phone, or look at something else. I mean I sat and enjoyed the great, good, and not so great parts of the season.

For a first season I think they did a good job.



Very solid 4 mic season IMO.

Nah I don't buy that. They have thousands of human-like androids that can turn violent with the click of a button or a hack. Any board that would run this park without a military on staff with top notch weapons to defend and or neutralize a threat in the case of an emergency would be a park run by idiots. Disney doesn't have IP that a world-conquering nation could try to steal, like Westworld does.

The security part is the only thing that got me plus security guards are not getting trained using those weapons. It was laughable that after the first set of guys got clapped, that they wouldn't change their tactics. It reminded me of Rambo and those other cheesy action flicks

Maybe I missed it in this thread or maybe i missed it earlier in the season as its been a mind trip.....but in the last episode, the machine was printing bones and a skull. Is it then, that the robots are now going to basically be human now.

Also, it could have been Ford's Robot that got clapped

ya the earlier versions of the hosts were more like terminators. but the new ones basically have human anatomy.

So we really got to wait to 2018 huh

 

[LEEeveryday]

Let me find out Felix is the mastermind behind all of this... would be the GOAT heel turn.

The only reason I make this connection is with the introduction of Samurai's....smh @ me...

I read an interview with Jonathon Nolan and he said the wait will be that long because this isn't a TV series, it's basically a long movie. He said you gotta wait 2-3 years at least between movies, so 2018 ain't that long.

It kinda sucks as a fan but I get where he's coming from. The line between movie and TV series is blurry as fukk nowadays when it comes to talent, budget, quality, etc.

Do you think a season of Westworld is more difficult to film than...a season of Game of Thrones?

Think it has more to do with the writing
Granted I don't watch GOT, so I don't know the level of writing on that show

Well the level of writing on Game of Thrones (mostly for the earlier seasons) is equal, if not beyond Westworld. They have hundreds of characters, dozens of subplots, political maneuverings, and dozens of "main" characters. GRRM said it takes him 3 weeks minimum to write a single episode. But the GoT writers do have the novels to adapt from, which may make it easier than coming up with something from scratch like Westworld writers will presumably do for season 2.

Film? Probably not. I assume there is less locations.

Write? Definitely, because there was never a template for "Westworld" like there is books for "GOT". Even characters from the OG movies like The Man In Black aren't remotely the same.
