- GoT thing totally took me out of it - show has so much potential but that episode was so much goddamn exposition and it was like I was back in the season 2 finale - need maximum Bernard and Pinkman going forward
It made perfect sense if you're a computer engineer (I’m not a computer engineer and it was over my head in spots too) Also liked the minstrel playing the show's theme while the Bernard memory scan was going on
This episode blows. So sick of Bernard's confused bumbling idiot shtick. So sick of just recreating random theme park worlds for no god damn reason. We've seen enough of that. So sick of the "I thought you were dead! Oh no wait you've been turned into an AI" trope that they've beaten into the ground for the 50th time now. Get back to more aaron paul and whats going on in the "real world" ( till the end of the season when they reveal it was all a simulation and none of it mattered) David Benioff and DB Weiss suck major ass. That is all.
Starting to get the feeling that Christopher is Rembrandt to Jonathon’s drunk soccer mom at your local generic ‘wine & paint by numbers’ place.
The "Warworld" park feels like it's not gonna be a focal point of the show. I am definitely ok with that.
I enjoyed the first two episodes so far, and at least we now know we're watching a couple different timelines again. and from season 1 to now, I get why people wish we were in the park but overall this story is playing out and need to let it play out. We definitely didn't need the GoT cameo though it was cool, still corny somewhat. Liked it initially but after thinking about it, not needed. Aaron Paul was well cast here. Episode 2 was exposition and this is a show that needs it for an episode
the drogon egg was just ridiculous ok you made a dragon inside of the smallest fucking room that building has is he torching his way out of there or what?
Hmmm, didn't help me at all really. Maybe the guy just annoyed me, maybe i need to re-rewatch season 2 ... idk Anyhoo, the first two eps are still fun TV. But anyone else got a good recap vid or article? I could stand taking my time with something more long form ...
Yeah I just needed something quick to refresh/prompt a few memories from the previous seasons. If you’re looking for/wanting to go more in-depth with something like a long form article, this wouldn’t be it.
2nd episode definitely wasn't great for reasons already stated (another copy of a person, simulation inside a simulation or whatever you want to call what Maeve was in) but it set some things up I suppose. Definitely could have done without the D&D cameo. Fuck those guys forever.
If someone wouldn't mind clarifying, how did Dolores' host body escape Westworld? And when did she move her brain from host Charlotte back to herself?
i found this primer for season 3 pretty helpful. still curious what we learn about William in season 3. the vid posted earlier seemed to claim he was a host in Westworld, whereas this article disputes that. but maybe he succeeded in getting a host copy of himself up and running in the real world, which we'll see later? https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/03/westworld-season-1-season-2-recap-refresher-season-3
I'm still not convinced it's Teddy. The whole monologue about remembering "who I am" and brutally strangling that guy isnt very Teddy like. I think it might be the chick that had the snake tattoo on her arm hence the cutting symbols into her arm. I think other suspects are Clementine and her father Peter Abernathy The whole "is that you in there Teddy?" from the season trailer after the first episode makes me think it wont be. I feel like they wouldnt put that in there if it was actually him
I’m trying to remember who had a similar moment with a tear rolling down their face like new Charlotte (lol) had early in the ep. Went searching for discussion online and a lot of folks quickly said no to it being Teddy.
also, didn't Teddy make it to the Valley Beyond? that's what the Vanity Fair article i linked claims ...
Just watched again. I thought it was Teddy. I think they want us to think it's Teddy, due to the emotional closeness they have, but it feels like a feint. Also, I cant believe I missed it last night, but Charlotte's sons name... Nathan Hale has to be an clue for something. Hale was a spy for during the revolutionary war that said "I regret that I have but 1 life to give to my country" before being executed by the British. He probably never said that but I digress.
I watch too much tv but I wish I could just watch 1 show this deep . I’m all in but this dude found Waldo in the middle of all of it.
I’ve debated this in the GoT threads a lot but D&D get much more hate then they deserve. Are they blameless, not at all, but if anyone sucks major ass it’s the fat ass with writers block that gave them a page and a half of notes and a promise that he would have the books done by the time they got to it. When he didn’t have them done, D&D had to turn high level plot points on their page and a half of notes into 2 seasons of television. they did it the only way they knew how as average TV writers; nonsense character swerves and big budget CGI.
Really liked this episode. Whether you like this show or not you have to at least acknowledge it's the best cinematography on TV.
