man, this shit is confusing as hell.

wasn't the girl tied up in the woods that they came across the girl from the introduction briefing?

Yes, which only gives that theory more legs.

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.

I believe the MIB acknowledges recognizing her when they come across her which lends credence to McPoyle being the MIB

yeah he does, but he has also been going there for years too.


seen a pic that showed her in the park before too, I'll try to find it again.

DAMN, that was a great episode.

i think the main cast are robots or some shit too

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

not sure whats going on still, hopefully the payoff is good

nobody is sure what's going on, most likely including the writers

only two ways the ending will be satisfying

-anthony hopkins is secretly a robot

-absolutely everyone else is secretly a robot

was I the only one who was like uh ok what does that mean when Bernard was revealed as a Arnold clone? I seen that people's mind exploded.

How is the series compared to the movie, is it very different from the show?

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.

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.

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.

holy shit

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.

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.

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.

Would y'all rather go to Westworld or Samurai World tho

Samurai world for sure.

pretty astounding how the uproxx writer nailed it like that.

people are way better at watching tv shows than i am.

(i stuck with the show cuz my girl liked it).
