I never heard of them before, guess this thread is good for something

aha! Very clever.

Much more clever than the bit where Maeve goes "turn my intelligence up to 20" and they do it instead of turning it down to 1, i.e. the first fucking thought you'd have

I'm only still watching this show for Meave's story. The rest of them I couldn't care less about.

 

[pete]

that was great

it'll probably be 2018 before series 2 arrives though...

THERE WAS A POST-CREDITS SCENE

 

[nooleen]

armistice was class

"they don't look like godsss"

Season two might not air until 2018. Why the delay?

Nolan: Definitely not coming back until 2018. Look, we said to the network very early that this was a different kind of show, having gone through the experience of making the pilot. Game of Thrones is incredibly ambitious, and that was part of the reason we knew we wanted to make this show with HBO. Game of Thrones kind of has written the book on production value for television, and how to make something that has all the scope and scale of cinema for a TV show. They also have an advantage of having [George R.R. Martin's] amazing books, or had it for the first six seasons, which gives you a leg up. I still don't know how they turn those seasons around in a year. It's astonishing. But we knew for ourselves that going forward, the production is enormously challenging and ambitious, and so is the writing. So we said very early on that we wouldn't be able to turn this around every year, and knowing full well that that's been a time-honored tradition in television. But in film, my other life, on the Batman movies, the best we could do is turn another one around in three years. I really feel like we're splitting the difference here.

'Westworld' Showrunners Explain Violent Finale, Set Up Season 2's Expanding World

TV for the fake news generation: why Westworld is the defining show of 2016

kind of explains why it did nothing for me. I'm not the kind of person who freeze-frames shows and obsesses about a detail.

I like this comment though:

"Light on substance"? Do you need the show to hit you over the head? I am surprised that so many people love the show given its depth of substance. What's consciousness? What's free will? Can you have one without the other? How should we handle machines with consciousness?

Mostly because the "what is free-will: also robots" scenario that goes nowhere beyond "I watched Blade Runner " has to be the most played out trope in sci-fi films/computer games in existence

What was the deal with Thandie Newton then? Where was she in the timeline bullshit?

The show was shite BTW

Her stuff was "present day" (2052) and was all part of Ford's 'new narrative'.

Running at the same time as Delores and co massacring everyone?

Yep. When Sizemore goes down to the basement to recover Dolores' father (in whose head they've stashed all the info they're trying to sneak out of the park) he discovers all the decommissioned hosts are gone - they're the ones coming out of the forest at the end, presumably sent back to the park by Maeve after she resurrects Bernard and he goes back up.
