woo hoo i have bake off and then WW to watch tonite

classic combo

:flutter:

So while it hasn't been officially renewed for a second season yet the HBO boss did say this

:fc:

Just caught up with all episodes and I have to say it's brilliant so far, I'm not really into Western shows but I like the unique twist this one has :clap1:

I'd be surprised if they don't follow the theme of the film and have each series set in a different "world" (think I read about there being a medieval one and a Roman empire one?) but then that seems a bit American Horror Story.

:clap2:

I was open to them introducing more worlds but I'm now getting the impression that Westworld is the only one in this version.

I'd still be here for more worlds if they could work them in but I'd still want the story to continue on from the first season rather than going down a more anthological route.

Yeah I guess the idea of Ford devoting as much time and fondness to this world only to then go on and be like "right, then, what's happening in MedievalWorld today? :) :)" at the start of season two does sound...unlikely.

:joker:

George RR Martin wants a crossover so I'm here for Westerosworld next year.

I'm absolutely loving the show so far!!!!:love:
The acting and dialogue (for the most part) is great. I love Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood as actors and i'm finding both of their characters really interesting.

I was a big fan of the original film so was really looking forward to this being given the HBO treatment.
Sadly they didn't do so well with the sequel film 'Futureworld' (no Michael Crichton involvement) and the original spin-off TV series, 'Beyond Westworld' which was cancelled after only three of the five filmed episodes were aired.

I actually thought the basic idea of 'Beyond Westworld' was an interesting one where the 'Evil Scientist' placed various androids/bots in prime positions (a crew member on a Nuclear Sub in the first episode and similar things in the other eps.) with the ultimate aim of taking over the World (ha, ha, ha, haaa!!!:laugh:).

Being a massive fan of Space and Inter-Planetary based Sci-Fi i always thought i'd have liked to have seen a 'Future World' spin-off series where they were inserted into a virtual holo-environment (kinda' like they did on the Holo-Deck on that one Trek spin-off series (was it 'TNG' or 'DS9' ?) so they could have gone off on Spacecraft and had some crazy inter-species battling and stuff. So much potential adventures!!!!!:laugh:

I think the producers said that they've 'roughed out' a basic storyline for 5 Seasons of Westworld already so i hope they carry on getting the funding and viewers to take it all the way!
I get the feeling that we could well see some of them making it out of the Park into the 'Real' World which could get interesting (i also loved the film 'The Island' which kind-of touches on that sort of stuff).

Glad to see plenty of other people are enjoying the show as much as i am! :thumbs:

Loved episode 5.

The Man in Black and Ford finally having a scene together :clap1: William abandoning Logan :clap1: The Ford / Dolores scene :love: (so the voice she keeps hearing is Arnold? I like it), the ending scene :flutter:

The promo for the upcoming episodes looks so bloody good. I'm especially excited since we're officially entering the back half now so I think it's all about to kick off :flutter:

..yeah I loved that scene also..:love:..in the movie the man in black../the gunslinger was the all out bad guy but I have a feeling that his character will have so many shades in the storyline of the series.../actually I think all characters will and have which is a big thing that I love about it as well.../the complications of the characters that I think is going to be...

Yeah I loved their scene together
William :love:

Can't wait for the rest of the episodes.

Yeah I love that they've taken the concept of the movie but fleshed it out so much and added so many extra layers and dimensions to it.

Here's the trailer for them if you're interested :spin:

Looks ridiculously good :love:

:laugh2: :worry:

After watching last weeks episode
I would want a Dolores
as its Tough.

i like Tough women.

I also like that Worker /Fixer Behavior Women
who found out the Necro fecker (Butcher worker)
dirty sod.


10 Out Of 10

Random but the Westworld IMDB page has been really cool today

(the clouds move and the IMDB logo spins when you hover the cursor over it :flutter:)

Will watch episode 6 either tonight or tomorrow, from what I've heard it was a really good one (again) :spin:

Episode 6 was SO good :clap1: :clap1: Best yet by far imo

Everything with Maeve was of course brilliant. Loved Felix just spilling the beans about everything (I hope the Hosts spare him when they inevitably start massacring people), that line when he said he's a human and Maeve replied "How do you know?" was so good. And him showing her round the facilities was haunting, especially when she was passing the dead and bloody Hosts being hosed down.

Her having her intelligence raised and her loyalty lowered is gonna be a good combination :devil:

Ford having robot recreations of his childhood was a neat reveal. I already figured the little boy was a robot version of himself as a child but I didn't anticipate him having his whole family and home out there too.

Theresa being involved in the espionage was a really good twist, really intrigued to find out what she's all about now.

The Arnold mystery is so intriguing right now. Definitely can't wait to see how that all unravels.

I'm also more convinced than ever that Bernard is a robot. If "I've been here forever" wasn't foreshadowing I'll eat my metaphorical hat :wink:

Oh and this is so cool, I didn't even notice it

It's Yul Brynner from the original movie :amazed:

So did anyone else watch the best episode yet or what

Oops no will watch the weekend

If you don't, one morning you'll wake up, and you won't be in your bed. You'll be outside the walls far, far away tied to a tree. And you'll scream and scream because you'll be so afraid. No one will come to help because no one will hear you. Well, something will hear you. The monsters will come. The ones out there. And you won't be able to run away when they come for you. And they will tear you apart and eat you up all while you're still alive. All while you can still feel it. And then afterwards, no one will ever know what happened to you. Or you can promise to watch Westworld episode 6 soon and then nothing will happen. And you'll get cookies. Lots of cookies. I know what I think you should do.

:laugh2::laugh2:

I watched it earlier, give me cookies please :laugh:
My favourite episode so far

Maeve :love:
That Felix and Maeve scene :love:

I was thinking that about Bernard being a robot too

Us shipping Maelix? (it's okay since she's self aware now :hee:)

I'm so convinced of this now :laugh:

Thank you Carol.

Yeaah here for Maelix, just hope he doesn't get killed :laugh:

Would love it to be right (Bernard)

I reckon Maeve will kill him as soon as he's done everything she wants since she had her loyalty lowered :worry:

Maelix never stood a chance

Hector would never allow it anyway </3

Episode 7 is being hyped up on Twitter by the cast and HBO as a big one so my already high expectations are even higher now :spin:

...ughhh Lostie, hold me...I finally got around to watching a catch up of this week's episode last night because I haven't had time to keep up this week...but I fell asleep and only saw a small bit...:sad:...Maeve though, I'm quite falling in love with her, I loved her storyline this week../well the bit I saw anyway...I also love how they're showing balance to the man in black's character and also was that a whole episode without Kenny getting killed or did I miss that..?..and the reverse contrast to Anthony Hopkins character in that he felt a bit creepy../a bit darker...I'll have to try to do a catch up again before the next episode...

Yeah I'm so into Maeve's whole story, such a good character :love:

I just watched episode 7

Renewed for s2

Omg finally :amazed: :worship: :love:

Although

http://i.imgur.com/U4rpuwB.gif

Still, I'll take that over cancellation :laugh:

Have you been watching, Jonathan?

Not yet but I've downloaded them all

Just haven't had a chance to sit down and watch

I love Barnard.

..(I didn't read your spoiler yet Lostie...but that whole walk through with Maeve showed the kind of 'changing places' really of the hosts and the creators...you could see emotion in Maeve, she's showing sadness and she's showing feeling yet she is incapable because she's the artificial and the emotionless..?..an we've seen the creators through this just cutting through what looks like real human flesh and stripping off clothing that others have tried to 'cover modesty' and becoming emotionlessly robotic about those who look in every way human.../I mean with that type of AI advancement and looking in every way human, we would also associate human to them as well in so many ways...of for instance, of this doesn't feel right to be cutting into these bodies and brains etc...

Yeah that's a great analogy tbh, and it's a great way of really making you root for the Hosts. Even the ones who play a more villainous role in the park, I still feel for them because they're only doing what they're being made to do rather than being malicious by choice like a lot of the humans are.

I always thought Ford's accent was English (I know Anthony Hopkins is Welsh but I thought he was doing an English accent in this) :laugh:

..yeah, you can't dislike them really because they're programmed in their actions but it's interesting how it's starting to turn and how they're starting to have 'memories' and how they're attaching and associating human emotion with those memories, like sadness and loss etc...in contrast to very little emotion being shown with the creators...that scene where he covered her up showed a respect and emotion but then it was just stripped away very coldly and more 'robotic' being starting to be shown by the creators as they're starting to become each other and the opposite of what is meant to be, I think...do you think also Lostie that it has a touch of The Truman Show with it as well...it's really reminding me a lot of that as well and one of my favourite movies of all time...

Oh Anthony can't hide his Welshness too well then :laugh:

I've only seen bits and pieces of The Truman Show but from what I know of it, it definitely seems reminiscent for sure with people unknowingly living out a fiction and being watched at all times. I believe Ed Harris was in that movie too so that's a nice little crossover :laugh:

This little video they released with the Season 2 renewal is so odd :laugh: :worry:
