Westworld

I loved the Old Bill anamatronic. Total POTC realness. Was that CGI?

Some non-guests arrive on the choo-choo too, if that's where their pre-programmed story loop begins.

This is where I have a bit of an issue. A daily duplicate loop that can only be modified by the guests seems a bit too often. Why not a 7 day loop? As is, it seems a heavy dose of a deja vu for the guests.

I thought it was mentioned at one point, it was about a week for the loop?

Fascinating...

Goodness, if so, the words that I miss are legend at this point... too busy looking at the art and design and so I only pick up the basic premise.

I think the creative guy mentioned that they moved the shoot out up a week.

Look at games like Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption. It doesn't matter that the general structure of the world is the same day to day, people go explore different regions and get new stuff out of it. They mention 12 story lines with 100 interconnected narratives. Plus if they have special events like the Saloon heist then there is more than enough to keep someone interested for a while. This show has me hooked in so far and I have already watched twice. I really look forward to seeing this unfold.

I found it interesting that they mention an incident 30 years ago, so assume this isn't just a reboot but imagines the park went on after the events of the movie. Probably wouldn't be in the first season, but it would be interesting to see them explore Futureworld or some of the other areas.

Episode 2 is online early to avoid competition from the debate on Sunday night.

 

[anihilnation]

Wow! Watched the first two episodes yesterday and I love it!

Two??? Do you mean the 90 minutes? It just aired last Sunday.

They posted the 2nd episode early.

They posted the 2nd episode early.

They posted the second episode early where? On HBO?

 

[s8film40]

They posted the second episode early where? On HBO?

Yeah on the HBO app. It's been there a couple days now.

It's also On Demand if you have that option.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah on the HBO app. It's been there a couple days now.

Why would HBO do that? Is it common?

I believe I read an article that said they didn't want it to compete with the debate. I don't have cable so I watch everything on my schedule through the app anyways. Netflix releases their whole series all at once, probably only a matter of time before other networks start doing that too.

 

[Teebin]

Aaaah! The debate. I had not thought of that. (i'm probably trying not to)

 

[Scott W.]

I think the second episode might have been better than the first.

 

[Teebin]

Just watched the 2nd. I am not sure why I find it so disturbing. GoT doesn't cause me such unease.
