So if you don't want to do the work, he might be willing to start a new thread with an effort OP. Oh I'm willing, though I don't watch PoI because despite the cast, the previews always made it look terrible. This thing has gone on too long to not follow through, I'm talking about both the thread and the show

 John Hammond heard about this great new investment opportunity involving robots. They sound much more stable than relying on genetic manipulation.

Medullah posted:I expect they're going to be very different animals. The original movie is a fairly self contained storyline, I think this is going to be a lot more spanning (and I can see it spreading to the other -worlds, Medieval World, Rome World, etc.). I'd be down for that it would be nice to see a more "realistic brutal" version of Rome etc)

Man, that movie sure has a lot of stuff repeated in Michael Crichton's other works. The part at the end in Medieval World felt a lot like Timeline, plus the part about the Gunslinger being unable to see the guy when he was by the torch was very reminiscent of the Tyrannosaurus in JP

The reviews for this haven't been too hot, but most people who are down on it seem to recognize that it's very dense and might have some room to grow. Speaking to that is this tweet from James Hibberd: https://twitter.com/jameshibberd/status/782645505272770561

It has 84% on Rotten Tomato. Plus most of the reviews that are negative leaning seem to be focusing on the slow being a bit of a slow burn with "nothing happening" in the 4 episodes they got to review. To which I'm kinda like: Uh.... have you SEEN Game of Thrones? Like, I know it isn't a direct Game of Thrones replacement, but I'm pretty sure HBO knows that the slow burn into a loving bombshell is something people want to see. Plus HBO would be completely nuts to show the first bombshell to reviewers in the hope that nobody leaked it. What are these reviewers expecting to early review other than the slow burn portion of the season?

It's on at 9 Eastern right? IMDb doesn't like to use time zones for some reason.

Holy poo poo if this keeps the same quality this is a Game of Thrones beater. Ed Harris is outstanding, so loving awesome Okay, so I'm gonna assume he's trying to incite them to fight back right? He seems obsessed with taking the whole thing up a notch, he seems bored. OldTennisCourt fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Oct 3, 2016 |

Are we to believe that the park is really as big as it looks? Do they just have part of a state sectioned off as a theme park? We can't be sure just yet but that seems to be the implication.

Plus if he was a host him outright loving with the rules of the game and stating they are all playthings would got him shitcanned real quick if they canned a host for showing a shred of self awareness.

That was loving amazing. The ‘guests’ being a bunch of oblivious assholes playing real-life-Skyrim never stopped being hilarious, and Anthony Hopkins seems to be playing Mad-Scientist-Hannibal-Lector. I’m guessing that he’s secretly trying to build viable AIs under everyone’s noses, especially considering that speech of his about humanity having gotten to ‘the best that it gets.’
