Re: Westworld
And, obviously I'm still watching.
Let me put it this way, this show has me excited to tune in, and I'm not picking up my phone to check things distractedly while it's on. There are maybe 4 or 5 other shows where this is the case, and those are shows like Modern Family or other sight gag comedies where looking at your ph completely takes you out of the experience.

Theory Chris Ryan floated on The Watch that he read:

Yeah, the way they talk about Wyatt while telling/showing us so little about him makes me think a big twist reveal is coming.Johnnie wrote:Theory Chris Ryan floated on The Watch that he read:

Following on to the other theory discussed earlier: Now that the show has been picked up for a second season, I really hope that they keep each season relatively self-contained and close a decent number of open questions by the end of episode 10 instead of just blue-balling us for cheap drama.

Re: Westworld
Huh, that was cute. And my complete throw shit at the wall theory could've been yelled just a bit. I knew Dolores had some thing about her, but I couldn't place what.

Re: Westworld
So what is Ford's plan for Bernard?
Leave him there? We just saw Charlotte and Lee down in dormant host storage, so someone would find him eventually.
Wipe his memory again and carry on as usual? Wouldn't it have been easier to do so without blowing a hole in his head?
Dispose of him in some way and pretend he died? Sort of suspicious coming on the heels of Theresa (and possibly Elsie), but maybe Ford is making his big move (just in time for the finale) and it won't matter.
Who is going to finally prove Ford isn't in complete control here? Maeve? Dolores? Probably Dolores.

Re: Westworld
Do any Admins wander in here? It might be nice to have a spoiler tag in the thread title, so we can discuss things more freely.

Poor confused, constrained Teddy.
I really enjoyed the show. Both last night's finale and the whole season.

Re: Westworld
I gotta say... My wife and I are having a VERY tough time keeping this show in the rotation for a S3. It's just so fucking convoluted at times. I don't mind GoT plot twists and I love dark shows (Fargo), but this shit is just off the charts.
I'm reading the recap/explainer for the finale and I'm like.. Ok?
Honestly, are we just dumb? We do tend to watch the show after dinner when we've had a couple glasses of wine. And if a show fucks with that ritual, it's on the trash heap.
And I have to say, we're not totally clueless about what's going on... I read the recaps and then talk with her to explain stuff we had questions about. But there are MULTIPLE times per episode when we're just bored. It's probably why we get lost, because the exposition monologues can be BRUTAL.

Re: Westworld
It's needlessly confusing. I've stopped trying to follow the various timelines. Mostly just watch it because parts of it are cool, and read re-caps to point me to shit I didn't bother trying to figure out in real time. The showrunners have become Shamalyan - if everything is a twist, what's the point...
Re: Westworld
I think the problem is that so many of the characters "come back from the dead" it's hard to have any grasp of the stakes. Even most of the human characters who have died end up coming back as replicants or hosts or whatever the hell.

Re: Westworld
I just read 3 recaps and each one said a version of "when I went back and watched it again..."
I mean, seriously, fuck that noise.

Re: Westworld
Shit, forgot we had a thread and commented in the TV thread at some point.
I really liked season 2, and thought it was much less twist dependent. My wife dislikes it so much she refuses to even fall asleep on the couch while I'm watching.

Re: Westworld
I really, really want to like it and I'll keep watching for S3 but I'm with NLFC for the most part. I shouldn't have to feel like I have to watch each episode twice just to keep straight all dozen plot threads.
