JossiRossi posted:This interested me, because why would the designers make the Natives believe that spirits who look like the clean up suits are beings from hell? Not to say they didn't, but it might be that the designers could never quite stamp these ideas out, but found a way to mitigate their impact. It makes sense considering the idea that these beings come up from the earth (underground facility), take the dead and carry them into the earth, and then some time later the dead are alive and walking around the town. Though it doesn't explain why hosts have a concept named Hell or Heaven unless it was part of the cowboy thing. mng posted:Rewatching the episodes again, and I'm still impressed by the way they show the hosts glitching out, and how they sit perfectly still when they're being diagnosed. For some reason Teddy can't sit still when Ford is talking to him (before uploading the Wyatt backstory); it's like he was trembling a little the entire time. Makes me think the actor was really cold or something, unless he's justa twitchy guy.

Teddy is a calm and cool customer and as such, behaves that way, even under scrutiny. Dolores has a panicked and flighty personality. Hence everyone telling that bitch to calm the gently caress down.  Limit her emotional affect.Any sort of actual emotional ability is prescribed by the people watching this show. Much like how Ford explained that the carving wasn't Orion. Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

One good thing, at the speed they are going, presumably they'll get to the maze and the puzzle solution this season. Only question is, what sort of puzzle they will substitute instead. I really hope it's hosts with superhuman abilities. Instead of 'hosts rebelling against humanity' or 'hosts discovering their humanity' (or 'hosts establishing a facsimile of human society'), just blow past that and go full transhumanism instead.

In his mind, these robots killed a real person he loves so if they can suffer they deserve every second of it. I kinda agree except I think they are brothers Disco De Soto posted:My new theory: the man in black is Arnold's brother. He's been coming ever since the accident to find out what happened, and he's finally on the right track. That's how he knows about Arnold.

I'm guessing they will find the entrance to the maze as the last scene of the season, and then the writers snort shitloads of coke and try to  this poo poo into the ground.

I only just now realized Dr Ford's full name is Robert Ford, aka Jesse James' partner who shot him in the back. I'm sure that has some significance but what could it be... Also someone may've already mentioned it but it got lost in the multiple timelines.

Memento posted:Hosts in the outside world sort of thing? e: One thing that I found funny in some reviews was whining about how 'the human characters, who *should be the most interesting* and with whom *we should identify*, are boring'. I think the reviewers came to the series from an entirely different perspective than I did (or, for that matter, Robert 'humans have stopped evolving and are therefore boring' Ford). Within the story, Dolores et al. have the potential to be something totally different than humans - and as a member of the audience, I'd love to see what Nolan and Joy think that could be. meristem fucked around with this message at 11:56 on Oct 28, 2016 |

nexus6 posted:I might have missed it in the thread but is there a reason people do not think Westworld is actually in Monument Valley and for some reason have recreated it somewhere else? It's a sealed environment that you get to via huge underground trains and there's water seeping in everywhere in the underground levels. Also it's hard to get a communication signal out and workers live on the premises and have weeks-long rotation cycles. It has to be at least a little hard to get to. I would imagine some kind of dome situation no matter where they are geographically.

Well the desert is already a little hard to get to and I thought it was already confirmed that outside communication was difficult because everything is screened to prevent corporate secrets being leaked?

It could easily be on another planet or some sort of space station. Ford mentioned something to Theresa about giving the board "a world" (I can't remember the exact lines) and I thought it might actually be a hint that he was literally talking about an actual world, even if Westworld is only part of it. They also mention something about neighbors complaining, so something or someone else is out there beyond what's encapsulated in Westworld.

No reason that I can find. It clearly is Monument Valley. There are interesting questions as to how come there is no remaining wildlife, what makes the boundaries of the park, etc. that lead some people to believe that this is a re-creation of Monument Valley somewhere else (either on Earth or in a computer simulation) but there is no evidence from the show that I can tell.

The website map shows a sea on the western edge of the park. If this is Monument Valley then something pretty drastic has happened in the interim.

Some weird suicidal thing? Maybe. Ford involved, maybe, but I think that one's more of a stretch. Heavily implied Ford murdered him? No not at all.
