Re: Westworld

Re: Westworld
Yes, which only gives that theory more legs.
Re: Westworld
which theory, the dual timeline? Ford been reassigning hosts all over the park for his new story too tho. She could have been one of them.
Re: Westworld
I believe the MIB acknowledges recognizing her when they come across her which lends credence to McPoyle being the MIBRamen wrote:which theory, the dual timeline? Ford been reassigning hosts all over the park for his new story too tho. She could have been one of them.
Re: Westworld
yeah he does, but he has also been going there for years too.

Re: Westworld
love this dumbass show no matter how huge the plot holes are and how frustratingly clumsly and unclever it is in exploring the really good ideas it created for itself
it's hilarious that Nolan was like 'LET'S TURN THIS DUMBASS PREMISE OF ROBOTS GOING HOMICIDAL INTO A BLADERUNNER WITH COWBOYS', then mostly avoided engaging with his own concept by stacking up convoluted plot twists and gotchas instead

Re: Westworld
only two ways the ending will be satisfying
-anthony hopkins is secretly a robot
-absolutely everyone else is secretly a robot

How is the series compared to the movie, is it very different from the show?drizzle wrote:love this dumbass show no matter how huge the plot holes are and how frustratingly clumsly and unclever it is in exploring the really good ideas it created for itself

Re: Westworld
The movie has nothing do with any of this, it's literally just 20 mins of set up and then about 70 mins of robots killing people. There is no existentialism, no conspiracy, nothing except scifi pulp. The only significant theme outside of robot murder is making fun of the hedonism on which the park is predicated and showing guests and park managers as mostly unlikeable and/or incompetent (presumably to make them less sympathetic when the killing starts.)
The sequel supposedly comes a little closer to what the show is about but is also supposed to be worse than the original.

Re: Westworld
The best explainer for the 3 timelines I've seen yet. I'm fine with all of this but I hate that the MIB/William thing is just taken for granted as true. It just a dumb editing trick that makes 0 sense in terms of the way these characters were presented to us. The mental gymnastics needed to plausibly patch William becoming the MIB and doing whatever he's doing 30 years later, while also accounting for the pieces of the MIB backstory we've been given, are insane at best.

Re: Westworld
Not bad. I feel the show just tries to be confusing just to be confusing. Just the part about teddy in the link assumes so much.

Re: Westworld
Lol literally every single thing happened as various theories have been predicting since mid season, down to the uprising being Ford's narrative and what happens to him. For a show that clearly wants to surprise its audience that's a huge fail.

Re: Westworld
Thought the finale was great. Still really enjoyed the show despite the plot holes and predictable mysteries. Excited to see where they take it next season now that most of the mysteries have been unveiled.

Re: Westworld
It is very watchable, no doubt there. Good production values and acting and a perpetual air of mystery and promise of something really interesting just around the next corner goes a long way to balancing the forehead slapping idiocy.
