Re Season two, I don't know how they're going to make a fresh story really, surely the only thing they'll get away with is them escaping to the real world?

I like cliffhangers but not if they're used in place of refusing to answer questions they've been posing all season. I'd say Westworld ended on a cliffhanger of sorts with Dolores shooting everyone and the other Hosts arriving from the woods but it was a cliffhanger that was to lead into the new era of the story rather than to postpone the current mysteries. Like, if it ended just as we were about to discover what the maze was, that would have been ridiculous

It's interesting that they seemingly confirmed the existence of other themed areas with the samurais. For now I'm gonna assume that, and any other potential areas of the park, were added by the money-hungry Delos board rather than Ford himself.

Oh I had forgotten about the samurais actually and Felix seemed kind of sketchy about them too, they must play a part in the next season for sure

Can we just appreciate the look on William's face as Dolores went full Wyatt on him?
It was a brilliant callback to the premiere too. There were a few moments that were sort of bookends to earlier episodes actually, something else I loved about the finale. |

I'm in two minds about the finale. Love the Ford/takeover stuff and how that's working out, because it's actually interesting.
BORED TO ****ING TEARS over the William/MIB/Dolores stuff, though. That reveal was so tedious. And the purpose of it was what? Build up the Hosts as believing they're gods. So basically season 2 will be the AIs taking over. Which hasn't at all been done to death in popular culture Idk I just really wanted to watch a compelling drama with storylines that actually went somewhere and made sense, instead the whole season's effectively been another "mankind is horrible!1!" rant from JJ Abrams. I'm sure it's made sense to some who've analysed every other scene for the tiniest of clues, but I refuse to believe anyone actually believes the William presented in episodes 1-8 just happened to turn out to be a bit of a nasty shit tbh there's more fantasy in that being a legitimate character arc presented by the show than in any of its premise. Outcome was fun enough... but I just don't really have any motivation to bother with season 2.

This is supposed to be a nice thread and you're ruining it!
But seriously, I have no issue in believing William became the Man in Black tbh, a lot can change in a person in 30 years. That said, I do think his shift into slaughtering Hosts in the flashbacks was a little fast but it didn't bother me that much since at that point he still hadn't fully gone off the deep end, I can buy that he shed more and more parts of his moral compass over the years. I'm also here for the Hosts taking over, it was always gonna become an aspect of the show what with the premise of the movie. But I don't for a second think it's going to be as clean-cut in the show, from the look on Teddy's face when Dolores was killing everyone I don't think he'll be fully on board and that could very well be the case with some other Hosts too. (And I don't entirely disagree with Ford's assessment of humanity ) I trust the show won't go down the cliche route because of Jonathan Nolan, he explored both malevolent and benevolent AI in Person of Interest so I think (and hope) Westworld does the same. Also, if it's true that they've had like 5 seasons mapped out and they're getting to the Hosts fighting back at the end of season 1, they definitely don't have 4 seasons of simply "robots kill people" in mind The only aspect of the show I flat-out don't like is Sizemore still being around. We lost Theresa and Ford but he stays around being his usual pointless, irritating self Last edited by Lostie!; 10-12-2016 at 02:20 PM. |

I do agree but I guess Dolores is the central protagonist and to be fair if they were both nominated in the same category they couldn't both win so I'm fine with it

I think they've both been amazing tbh.
Emilia Clarke and Lena Headey were both nominated as supporting actresses for GoT too so I wouldn't put too much stock in that classification |

Yeah Evan's clearly the lead really. Maeve getting noms would be like William/TMIB/Bernard/Ford getting noms.

So I never realised the song during the climax of the finale was Exit Music (For a Film) which is brilliantly fitting considering Jonathan Nolan also used it for the climax of Person of Interest's season 3 finale when

Best show of the year. Confirmed.
Anthony Hopkins is so good. Only storyline I found boring was the super naive story and how stupid everyone was in handling her, but when it was proven that Ford was manipulating it the whole time then that was saved.

It's the most immersed I've been in a show in a while.
