Westworld is AWESOME! - GoFuckYourself.com

Each episode has gotten better. The first one was good, not great. The latest, episode 4, was one of the best episodes of any TV show I've ever seen.

Would it be cheaper and possible to create something like Westworld today? Using actors instead of robots. Killing would be fake.

Scott McD · 10-24-2016, 12:22 PM

I have them all recorded but not got round to watching any of them yet...

C H R I S · 10-24-2016, 01:08 PM

Insanely good show

Hannes · 10-24-2016, 01:14 PM

Watched episode 1 last night. It was decent but left me feeling 50/50 on watching any more. I'll give it another couple of episodes to see if it does indeed get better or not.

If not, I'll eat your children.

Watched three episodes. Bit boring, lots of unnecessary gore (bullets going through necks/front of face blown off) not things I want to see thank you.

"Westworld" -- which is based on the 1973 Michael Crichton movie of the same name"

Is this what this old senile incoherent fart that never shuts up is referring to?

It's really good, and worth the time.

Try to avoid reading anything about it though as spoilers and peoples ideas about the show are starting to pop up. Try going in knowing nothing about it ahead of time. It's freakin' cool.

You need to watch some better TV.

It's an ok show with interesting ideas but no stakes whatsoever because no one can actually die. Not that there needs to be life or death involved for a show to be good, but it's weird to see a story with so much violence but no death. I'm going to finish out the season because it's HBo and they've built up a certain amount of creative credit where I'll watch pretty much anything they do. But unless this show gets real good by the end of season one -- and I mean something more than the the repetitive story crutches we've been watching for four episodes --- I can't see it being the "Game of Thrones" replacement HBO is trying to build.

But that's one of the central themes they've been developing: for the hosts/robots that are starting to remember what has happened before, their existence is unbearable.

Imagine remembering being killed, raped, again and again and again, and waking up every day like nothing happened, and knowing that you WILL keep on being killed, raped, and revived, following a script you didn't write.

That was the crux of last episode's scene, where Mave (the hooker), finds the past drawings of the nightmare figure she keeps seeing. Seeing all those drawings, which she clearly didn't remember putting there, tells her that she has lived this exact same situation many times before but she doesn't remember it.

And that it will probably keep happening, and she can't do nothing about it.

yeah I can see that. The show is really not about the humans, unless you count the Ed Harris character. I have no problem with the writers exploring sentience -- but I still feel like it's a bit all over the place with it's execution. I'm interested enough to keep watching.

j3rkules · 10-25-2016, 10:22 AM

Too early to tell but I have to say I'm very impressed with the first four episodes.

Evil Chris · 10-25-2016, 10:28 AM

I'm digging it as well. So far so good.

AaronM · 10-25-2016, 12:00 PM

After reading this thread yesterday, I watched the rest of the episodes. Loved Ep. 2 but after that, kinda losing interest.

I like the storyline with the Ed Harris character though.

But, but but but but but but.... omg.

SEMI SPOILER AHEAD:

This is kinda sort of key. Think about the character of Dolores Abernathy. It's revealed that she is actually one of the oldest robots in the park. Now think about what has been happening to her, again and again.

The recent software update is preventing previous experiences from being wiped out of their memory. After each, ugh, "clean up", little bits are left behind. Combine this with the border-line self-awareness and.... do you see where it is going? I think I do, but I don't want to think about it too much - I want to be surprised.

Westworld is really good. They are using real science, and make great references to ideas such as the Bicameral Mind. If they reference Roger Penrose and his ideas on consciousness I will lose my shit!

just a punk · 10-25-2016, 12:21 PM

Worth watching? I have no HBO channel in my digital TV packet. Usually their shows are shown by FOX, but not this one. Ok, will watch via an alternative source tonight ;)

Rochard · 10-25-2016, 01:45 PM

Trailer looks good but.... I don't have HBO. I'll just binge watch it like I did Sopranos once the entire show is done.
