/dev/null Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Anybody else watch the premiere of Westworld on HBO? It's supposed to be their next big thing Interesting concept. One thing I really enjoyed was figuring out which songs the player piano was playing, like Black Hole Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Wife hated the gore. I found it a little hard to follow. The visuals are spectacular. Also saw the movie in the 70's but aside from the name and setting there really isn't much in common with the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Anyone else catch that bit where somebody notices Ed Harris' character is up to something but the guy in charge tells him he gets whatever he wants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I haven't watched the second episode yet but I really love this show. It is a little hard to follow but I think I'm getting the overall premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 2nd episode was a little plodding, but it's interesting enough to keep us watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including mine. The show is more existential than I would like. Need more Wood and less Wright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) You think so? I love Jeffery Wright. He's terrific. I happen to love the movie Broken Flowers. That's the first time I became aware of Jeffrey Wright and thought he's really good. Edited October 12, 2016 by Cugalabanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I happen to love the movie Broken Flowers. That's the first time I became aware of Jeffrey Wright and thought he's really good. Great flick and I agree, I'd watch him in pretty much anything. This show though has been up and down for me for two episodes. Maybe it's a generational thing? The idea of a MMORPG isn't a foreign concept to me as I'm sure it's not to anyone under 35, and the fact that people in those games tend to let their Ids off the chain isn't all that shocking either. I'm looking forward to the AI rebellion, but the show hasn't grabbed me yet outside of its visuals and cast which I have enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd wait until a few episodes are available. My initial thoughts from seeing a couple previews and from what little I've read is that I won't love it. In the words of Peter Griffin, "it insists upon itself." Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised though, especially if I keep my expectations low. I feel like whenever AI gets a treatment in popular culture, it usually turns out half-baked and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 You think so? I love Jeffery Wright. He's terrific. I just think that their plan is to phase out Hopkins for Wright. Draw you in with one actor and switch him out for someone cheaper. I started watching the show for Wood and Hopkins. It's not that Wright is bad, it just feels like false advertising if they don't feature the two actors that were showcased in the trailers. I haven't watched it yet, but I plan to.

Like a philosophy lesson between the sex and violence. I hope it doesn't become too full of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any consolation, Hopkins is at least credited with being in all 10 season 1 episodes, so you shouldn't have to fear him leaving this season.

/dev/null Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 So I'm thinking maybe Ed Harris = Arnold? But is it Arnold incarnate or Arnold "uploaded" into a host that has evolved over 30 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it Arnold incarnate or Arnold "uploaded" into a host that has evolved over 30 years I thought this was the best episode so far. Gotta believe Ed Harris' character is Arnold in some form or fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
