Westworld (HBO) TV Show • Page 31

Unbelievable show

 

I just now finished this. I watched it in four sittings in the past week. I have conflicting feelings about it. I actually thought the first 5 episodes were not that good at all and I struggled making it through each episode. I liked the idea of the show but felt it was taking forever to get to the point (even though I knew where it was going) AND I couldn't really connect to one single character on the show and it just wasn't keeping my interest. If I had to wait week to week to watch this, I'm not sure I would have gotten through it.

That said, I thought the last five episodes were much better with the final two being very good.

 

I feel the same, it was a frustrating season with very few highs. Let's hope Nolan pulls a Person Of Interest and it suddenly becomes very good in the next season.

 

Really good review of the show. I wonder if they can learn from their mistakes and take this show to the next level, next season.

 

Disagree. I was enthralled all season.I can't wait to rewatch and for season 2

 

the lack of connection with characters is a totally fair criticism and I remember feeling 'eh' in the beginning as well, although that tends to ALWAYS happen during episodes 2-4 of a show.

I went from PUMPED to intrigued to...still intrigued...to still intrigued...to fully satisfied. I never fell in love with the show like Mr Robot or Leftovers, but as you can tel by my previous sentence, I was 100% INTRIGUED the whole time and am extremely pumped to see where it goes from here

 

I really wish they would have gone with different actors or character names for this show. Every time I talk about it in person, I end up calling Ford's actor "Bernard Hopkins".

 

I found the show enthralling, but definitely suffered from pacing issues.

 

Halfway through now and I'm really liking it. Getting a lot of Dollhouse vibes from it, but I want it to get to more of the implications of the technology and the ramifications of it on the world as a whole. Hoping to see more parks in the future because westerns get old quick to me, especially rich assholes just playing western.

 

Was rewatching an earlier episode with a friend last night...does anyone else wonder how the park is contained? Like at what point can you break outside of the limits into the regular world?

 

It's an island.

 

I might actually watch this over the course of a few sittings....

We recut all 10 hours of ‘Westworld’ into a single, chronological timeline

 

That was posted already and they fast forward through everything.

 

womp womp. I watched the first 20 minutes and it was kinda cool. Definitely was ONLY the Delores storyline however

 

we don't know this for sure, do we? I like the theories that the park is on the moon or Mars.

 

The Delos website refers to it as an island when referencing transportation to and from the park. Doesn't confirm it, but in the finale they also show the edge of the island/cliffs.

 

Island makes a lot sense

 

But then, what is the Island's purpose ???!1!1!1!1!

 

Apparently it's going to be a good amount of time before we get a Season 2.

 

According to IMDB, October of 2018. That's insane. As someone who thought Season 1 was just OK, it may be hard to reel me back in nearly two years from now.

 

Just got around to finishing this this morning. Loved Radiohead at the end!

 

As you should. B-hop is a living legend...that went down in flames.

Does life imitate art, or is it the other way around?

 

I didn't watch Westworld, but anyone who's seen both Westworld and City Slickers should appreciate this:



It's a funny or die video, not sure why it isn't posting...

 

I just finished watching this. I didn't particularly care for the thriller and suspense elements, but the ideas were interesting (though perhaps half-baked) and it was a visual treat. I think the show would have benefitted from fewer plot lines, less exposition, and more focus.

I enjoyed the finale. It was satisfying to watch those two hosts go CS 1.6 on the humans, despite the individual victims being innocent. Who doesn't love a good resistance movement?

 

Basically my thoughts on it. Lots of good ideas, but too many cheesy parts, too much exposition, half baked execution, and not enough substance. A bit much like Person Of Interest's first season in some way. Unlike the later, I won't unconsciously stop there and I will watch the second season when it airs lol.
