Westworld

Poor Bernard seemed lost the whole episode
Great intro though and I expect nothing but greatness from the follow up episodes

Rather slow first two eps, which is fine overall as season one took the first 1-3 eps to slowly build and then deliver greatness.

Evan Rachel Wood looked amazing in the city (New York?) scene, in that dark blue dress.

Yeah, quite slow but still riveting. Delores' comments at the end of the ep has set things up nicely for the season I think.

This show is getting better with every episode.

Am I crazy for liking the black hat bastard?

Not at all.

You mean Ed Harris or the gunslinging French sounding guy? Doesn't really matter I suppose, they're both good characters.

I'm enjoying Westworld, but I also find this season to be a bit more character-driven rather than plot-driven. This, however, is not necessarily a bad thing, imo, as I find the characters' growth fascinating. It does mean not every episode will have the same pace, though, this week's episode being a case in point, as it focused a lot on Thandie Newton's character, Maeve.

Seems like they're going with the park being a veil for the real mission, making the rich/powerful effectively immortal.

This could sort of be a prequel to Altered Carbon in that respect. 😖mart:

I'm a sucker for good storytelling and the Kiksuya episode of Westworld is a brilliant example of exactly that: Good storytelling. Don't think I've seen an episode of any other series recently that so perfectly and beautifully tells a tale.

Agreed, really like that one.

I love how Maeve wasn't the only character becoming aware of the false reality of the place. Other than Legion this has been one of my favorite complex shows this year

3 episodes into Season 2 now and I still find the storytelling methods of this show to be unnecessarily frustrating and irritating. I can't help but think how much more I would enjoy the show if it all just played out in a linear fashion. Also there's a great deal of disbelief suspension required to really enjoy it.

But surprisingly, it's still highly enjoyable. It seems Season 2 is shaping up to be better than the first...

The second season was absolute ass. Too bad. Season 1 was actually solid.

^Agreed, on the whole not as good as the first season but probably deserves a 2nd watch, likely pick up something I missed first time around, it's one of those shows after all.

Seems this got lost in the hype of a million other Comic Con trailers. Hoping they don't try and bite off more than they can chew and end up with another garbled mess that was S2.

saw the trailer yesterday.. i liked it and looking forward to the 3rd season

What happened to this show?

Season 3 is actually really good so far.
