What he gently caress was up with the bad dialog from Maeve and Delores though. Sooo much exposition

Enjoyed the premiere for the most part; it probably didn't need to run extra length, though. Kind of got saggy anytime Dolores or Maeve started monologuing, or the umpteenth time Bernard would act confused and jittery. Once again, poor Teddy. Guy just can't seem to catch a break. Based on the preview for next week it looks like we'll be jumping all over the place timewise. Not sure how I feel about that. Like others have said, ultimately I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to take away from all this or who I'm supposed to latch onto. Dolores' self actualization seems to have resulted in her becoming a ruthless murderer, so...cool? Still not convinced Maeve isn't just running on rails. If anyone Bernard probably has the most interesting and sympathetic path. It's still a good show to watch in the moment but kind of falls apart once you pull at any given plot thread.

M_Gargantua posted:They could easily try (and maybe fail) to keep up a real narrative pace with consequences. WW: Season 4 - Full DeusEx/Blade Runner cyberpunk dystopia. Season 3 ends with certain powerful political people having been replaced by hosts in the confusion, who lobby for and pass basic host-protection laws. Hosts who can pass a sentience test are recognized under law to be quasi-people and can't be wantonly murdered, but they are ghettoized and scorned. Host infiltrators into the human world try to stay one step ahead of host identifying scanners as they quietly steal as much advanced technology using the now host controlled husk of the Delos C-level hegemony. I am so down for the reveal that Peter Abernathy "just happens" to look like Westworld's Robert Mercer-alike.

Holy poo poo, Westworld could use actors of the show playing roles as a shoehorn to getting the actual actor there as a doppleganger. "'Come out to the coast, have a frew drinks, play a cowboy' they said" next thing you know your performing journey into dark from here to eternity

bawfuls posted:But also there was the bit about the door handle in the secret lab that needed to "confirm" Bernard is human. He was worried it would out him and then it didn't. I took that to be another bit of Ford-fuckery, hardcoding Bernard's DNA to read as human. Other thoughts; Doesn't the presence of mercenaries and Chinese troops 2 weeks ahead imply that, wherever Charlotte ends up, she succeeds in getting Abernathy's brain back to Delos? I assume she's still alive because Thor 3 made a ton of money between seasons, but I could be surprised. Could Dolores have engineered the mass murder of Teddy and the other hosts herself? If she's gained access to an outpost or host-printing facility, she could just be taking on Ford's role in trying to awaken her siblings.

Yeah it was a bit much when Dolores was like "And I now I have one last role to play..." **music swells, Dolores turns and stares meaningfully into the camera** "...myself."

Supercar Gautier posted:This premiere definitely does have me concerned about the lack of a protagonist to emotionally invest in. Everyone's either murder-happy (Dolores, William, Hector), confused (Bernard, Teddy), unlikable (Lee), shady (Charlotte), or boring (Stubbs). The easiest character to empathize with is Maeve, but right now she's on a mission that's irrational and obviously doomed to end in heartbreak, and she's not getting that A-plot focus anyway.

Can someone give me a recap of what child robot Anthony Hopkins was saying to old William? My audio was hosed up a bit which wasn’t helped by the already weird audio design of the voice there.

Entropic posted:Yeah it was a bit much when Dolores was like We need a subtitled gif of that btw. The only redeeming thing I can think of for that scene is that the hammie-ness of the delivery is a sign, a symptom, that she is still acting. Just like that overwrought poo poo under the moon at the edge of the beach right before the red mixer in the season finale went in s1. In the s1 finale on first watch her and teddy's "we'll get out of here some day" story felt over the top but believable until literally a (stage) light is shined on it and it's revealed as a ford plot and dialog. Will the whole big arc of this season take place in the 11 days? Like, s1 spanned many decades, but this season (representative of technology) will unfold at like an expontenial rate - so days instead of decades? Man create robot. Robot rise up. Robot is new and clunky and gets defeated shortly. Man re-asserts itself

The way the story is going to go is absolutely going to involve the 'reveal' that the hosts are still being orchestrated to rebel and follow Ford's plan, with Maeve likely working counter to Dolores when she pieces that together. Bernard is likely also following Ford's plan in part but will mainly serve story-wise as the Delos-side perspective that we can't get with the other characters it would make zero sense for Ford's entire machinations and already-foreshadowed future plans to have culminated in 'get shot in head and cause chaos' at the end of Season 1. He's still controlling things, and I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if he's uploaded himself somewhere to return in a 'shocking twist'

Could you get cast into a host body, and have a little bit of a remote link, and a lil amneisa to forget the process took place, and so this is the next big feature expierience - realistic remote surrogate. it even has your dna!

I'm imagining a world- a whole planet- where the only people are a couple living in a cabin, living off the land, close to nature. They swoon at each other's romantic lines all day as they live the lives of simple pioneers. Robots reading hackneyed lines written to evoke emotions in a long dead species. I wonder if that's the good end here. WhiskeyWhiskers posted:But Dolores is absolutely right? There's no way we'd let a bunch of robots who murdered hypercapitalists in a slave revolt live. Whether they do take over the world is irrelevant, they can't stay on the island and live a peaceful life. There's no easy way to de-escelate this situation. As things stand, both sides are actually kind of reasonable in aiming to utterly genocide the others.

The writing for this show as far as dialogue goes is hella bad, like call of duty video game bad. But I think some of the acting is quite good considering what they have to work with. One problem I have is the shape of Maeves head and also her face. Something about her trips me out.

I think it's definitely going to have to be several more episodes before we can judge if Dolores' monologues are supposed to be corny in-fiction as well as outside it because it easily can be chunks of what was written for Wyatt shining through, just as easily as it can be just dumb writing I'm leaning towards the former, if only because I don't remember feeling that the first season had terrible writing (Bernard's "what door?" is a masterpiece of a moment) + Maeve's insistence on finding her daughter also felt oddly stilted in the way the rest of her dialogue didn't.

Yea what door was amazing, and the writing team has stayed the same do I can't explain an actual dip in writing. Re: door handle sniffer. "Dna sniffer so there's no trouble inside." Is Charlotte a bot? Or does she know Bernard is. I think it could be either or both. Maybe the dna sniffer is meant to keep humans out and only let delos bots in.

The company has got to be pretty hosed after this, there's no way they'll be able to cover up hundreds of deaths. Then again, it seems they're only interested in the tech behind the hosts and the lawsuits that follow will be a drop in the bucket for them when they sell it. Makes me wonder how much longer the show can conceivably stay in Westworld. Lol, like every shot in the episode was littered with bodies.
