they had the gunfight to kill off all 200 bad corrupted hosts or whatever but do it in a way that the narrative to the guests made sense
yea that is what I was trying to get at. Teddy seemed to have went in for repairs while the malfunctioning bandit was still on the loose and beat up. for the amount of damage they take, we havent seen any physical repairs, just "software" diagnostics & repairs, correct? I am assuming that bullet wounds do not heal on their own.

So many cool things in there like... -they call out flies for not being hosts -it sounds like the locations are not on the mainland...maybe under water, island, or on another planet -causes of death are hysterical
Cool link to the rules. "When HBO presented Westworld to the Television Critics Association over the summer, we spoke to series creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and stars Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, James Marsden, Ed Harris, and Anthony Hopkins. They revealed 11 rules that make their take on Westworld unique." https://editorial.rottentomatoes.co...estworld-hbos-killer-robot-theme-park-series/
It doesn't seem like it. A big difference right off the bat is that Yul was the antagonist in the movie and he didn't have any motives outside of malfunction that was never really personified. The show seems to setup the hosts as becoming sentient humans who we are following and getting to know.
Am i wrong in thinking they built their shit on a mall, with those stairs/escalators? But sub level 83 is fucking deep
That mall has been used in numerous movies and tv shows. It is an abandoned mall that has become a movie set. It was also in agents of s.h.i.e.l.d.
I'm also trying very hard not to read too much into the show and just enjoy it. I think we're going to end up with a lot of unanswered questions, which will surely disappoint me if I scour the internet for clues each week. I realize that's part of the fun, but it can end up ruining the show if you get too into it.
I know I was there this summer (look at me), that's why I said it has to mean something. so much history there. all surrounded by myth and culture.
I guess it can ruin it for some people if they think it is supposed to lead to some huge discovery. In this case the show is putting that stuff out there to make this more of an interactive experience, so it is there for those who want it.
Watching it again. Thought it was the first time I watched it, but confirmed the one bandit guy that that says "I reckon she's still warm enough" is the same guy who voiced Trevor from GTA V.
Show is just wonderful. Haven't heard one person complain about it. Only stubborn Hollywood assholes in Hollywood say "I didn't love it" or "it was whatever".
This is starting to have that Lost-Like feeling... The following on the official Visit Greece website about the Island of Delos: "In the ancient times, the myth of god Apollo, god of light, and goddess Artemis having been born there rendered the island sacred: no mortal would ever be allowed to be born on its land. But, a cradle of gods as the island has been, no mortals would ever be allowed to die on it either." "Visitors coming from the neighbouring islands are not there on an educational trip; they have rather embarked on a lifetime experience. And, as if by magic, the sacredness of the island lives on: the multitudes of people, who flock to share the island’s uniqueness, can do nothing but just visit it." source: http://www.visitgreece.gr/en/greek_islands/cyclades/delos
Just caught this while watching the previews to episode 2. The man in black says, "There is a deeper level to this game. You must show me how to get there." He then scalps Kissy and the scalp looks like a maze. I know that seems like some type of circuitry for the Hosts, but maybe his comments and the scalp have double meaning.
Seriously, all I can say is everyone needs to watch this as soon as possible because there is so much to talk about. Absolutely amazing television.
Wish I would have known this was coming out, would have woken up early to do some work this morning. Will watch tonight. Pumped.
yea already had plans to stay in tonight so it looks like it's gonna be a date with mary jane on the couch and probably watching the fuckin episode twice
Oops. Just watched the first 2 episodes back to back. Didn't realize the 2nd hadn't aired on TV yet. Spoiler I like how Harris capping the Mexican's wife unlocked the Easter egg in the daughter. Also, MCPOYLE!
