Westworld - series

HBO's new milkcow to take the throne away from GoT
A series inspired by the 1973 film of the same title written by Michael Crichton about a futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings.



what do you think

Pilot 100%.

Looks good, we'll see.

Liked it. Seemed it was more horror than sci-fi or western but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

love the idea and really look forward to the next ep. The blonde woman in paint it black shootout was pretty bad ass.

Here it is:

Horror?

Havent seen the pilot but that trailer looks like shit, cheesy scenes and overall badly made.

I paid for a month of HBO Now to watch Silicon Valley, Vice Principals, Ballers, and The Night Of. Thats like every single good show HBO even has. I canceled at the start of the month before this came out. No way am I going to resub just for one single show to be released on a shitty weekly basis. Instead I'm watching like 15 things on Netflix. I dont think HBO can survive the long run by having 3 original shows per year or whatever.

looks good. but i dont think i'll be really into it like GoT.

I mean... you can always thepiratebay it and subscribe if u like it ? :D

I'm split about the show, this has to be insanely well thought of to be made good, there are just so many aspects that seem like a longshot for the show to actually work.

P.S.
For anyone that liked Daredevil/ Jessica Jones -> Luke Cage is out and even if you dont like the series, check out the soundtrack especially Raphael Saadiq's songs, super good

Ballim you hate on everything I like. I saw you commenting in a sc2 thread, you must play terran

I really enjoyed the first two episodes. The story is based on a Michael Crighton book, so you know its going to be epic and the science is going to be somewhat founded.

I enjoyed watching Hopkins have dinner with one of the older models, just seemed like a guy he liked to have dinner with. Really interesting how the AI is supposed to slightly change their behavior based on past experiences with the clients. The client interaction has been largely traumatic though, and that trauma seems to be seeping into their programing.

Pretty awesome concept. Im trying to decide what I would do first in west world, but I know myself well enough and realize I would have never gotten passed the red headed host.

There is a lot of crap in this world that need all the hating it can get, and this shows appears to be one of those things at least judging from that shitty video.

I did play terran, not hard to figure out since I was saying arbiters are OP though

First 2 episodes were gud, will continue watching

What's interesting though is that the main villain of the movie was one of the robots basically malfunctioning and going on a killing spree so I just sort of assumed that was the basic plot of this show. It turns out, the Ed Harris character who seemed like he was going to be the main killer robot, is actually a perverted human guest. So the HBO show is actually flip flopping the entire plot. The robots, while they are developing consciousness, become the heros of the show, while the humans (or at least some of them) are the villains.

Does bring up a lot of moral questions generations ahead of us are going to have to answer ^_^

Liked it so far. Seems like they are simply building the world right now which is to be expected of any good show. Stacked with a lot of really good actors.

Love the concept. I can see it being really cool and I can also see it go in directions that are really lame. I lean towards good because I have faith in HBO since they've created so much awesome content

The bots developing a religion around the men wearing hazmat suits is just too cool.

Really intriguing, I wonder how much the Anthony Hopkins character has seen before and whether or not he realizes the bots are having these internal, off script, "thoughts". He seems to have a better understanding of what the bots are capable of, much more so than anyone that works for him. That discord is strange, its almost like hes hand picked certain employees to work on specific parts of the park based on their personalities.

Have they mentioned how long the park has been open? Trying to put together a time line is difficult. I would expect many more engineers in key spots being there from the beginning, but as noted earlier, most of the employees seem new.

"Orions belt has 3 stars not 4."

Ed Harris is a bad ass, great scene when he yelled at one his employees for trying to discuss life outside of the park. Really ticked him off. In our future I foresee people becoming addicted to VR/augmented reality and raging if people interfere with their fantasies.

Cant wait until sunday and it has nothing to do with my mediocre fantasy football team.

that was fucked up

Damn, such good show.

Loved the last episode, how it all turned out. Acting from HOPKINS, Ed Harris, Evan R Wood was spot on, and the music was perfect.

Looking forward to season 2.


Hawkings = Hopkins* LOL.

it's not hawkins it's hopkins but yeah it was great

Some of the best TV i can remember in recent memory. The final 2 eps delivered so hard. Brilliant acting all the way around from the major characters like Anthony Hopkins to some of the minor characters like the Blonde girl with the tattoos. Her face in the last episode where she realized automatic weapons was a thing but just pure maniacal joy. So awesome...

Never really saw the part coming in last ep where Forde decided to basically unleash all the hosts into the world and basically allow them to make their own decisions. Another equally awesome part was when William (Man in Black) gets shot after the hosts are released into the party and just smiles with pure bliss lol.

Maeve's storyline still is very confusing to me though because it seemed like she was still following a certain narrative after escaping WW.

Part of me also still thinks that when Forde got shot by Dolores, it wasn't actually Forde. It was a host created to look like him in order for him to continue with whatever is next for WW, while at the same time eliminating his opposition. I really hope he's not gone because Anthony Hopkins is such a damn good actor and his character is amazing.

Also I think it's important to not forget two of the minor characters storylines that were kind of just left for us to wonder what happened to them. Elise (i think was her name) was catching on to some of the early corruption going on with WW and while investigating, was grabbed in a chokehold by Bernard. Due to heavy investigation from Reddit, it appears that she is actually still alive. Also I wonder about the white guy who was working inside of WW, when the Indians grabbed him. For some reason, I always thought his character was actually a host.

There's so many ways the show can go for S2. It appears that it will be Samurai themed which seems like it would be pretty badass. I can't wait

I agree the music here really sets the tone, great cast as well. No time to follow the story so I'll just wait when they start mass killing humans

Those series went well above my expectations

Superb, just fucking awesome

Apparently there is a part where Maive (however you spell her name) is looking at one of those tablets that have all the information on the hosts and you can see Elise's name at the bottom of the tablet as "active" or whatever

The whole soundtrack was made by Ramin Djawadi. He did " The Light Of The Seven " in Game of Thrones finale as well as the main theme for the show both of which are incredible. This guy seems like the Hans Zimmer of TV series. Here s a playlist of Westworld's whole soundtrack. Yes while most of them are just covers,he still did it in his own way and they sound incredible. It's also available on spotify

I hated on it too early since I figured it was some cheesy western because of the trailer but It turned out to be pretty decent, I like stuff that makes you question consciousness and the morality around it

I think I'm on EP4 now, really struggling to get into it though. I think I'm just getting bored of them dragging out the mystery of what WW and the Hosts truly are. I'm just not digging the whole "lets do a sci fi in the western" theme. Seems so random.

I just watched the entire season. It was pretty good. I'm just wondering what they're gonna do for Season 2 in 2018.

I finsihed it, pretty great show.

Pretty cool that God in this Michaelnglo painting is shaped like a brain. 500 years and people never noticed, pretty clever stuff.


For those that have seen it, i found this site that's pretty cool. https://theoutline.com/post/637/westworld-recut-into-single-timeline They recut the show in chronological order.

The image of the human brain in "The Creation of Adam" painting isn't new knowledge. If you ever attend college/university, you'll most likely hear it mentioned and/or learn about it during your first or second semester when you take a art-history class.

well the 90's (when the first guy wrote the brain similarity observation down in a journal) are still about 500 years after the painting
