Huh. Randomly wandered into TVIV, happened upon this thread, gave the show a chance, and am now recommending Westworld to my friends. Thanks, SomethingAwful.

The only part I didn't like is that they're just inexplicably storing them all standing together in a derelict area. If they're potentially dangerous, you'd think they'd just put them in restraints and stuff 'em in shelves like a mortuary would.

On the other hand, that part also left huge unanswered questions about why on Earth there would be this giant shopping-mall-esque lobby on sub-basement 80-whatever. Something tells me there's more happening behind the scenes than we're being led to believe and I like it.

So it's not a virtual world? They fully repair all those robots overnight, every night?
Serious question: Are you clinically retarded? We saw them physically interacting with the hosts. The only way it's a virtual world is if that's the twist to my unanswered question.

E: With the 'milk', I'm assuming that's actually some kind of... android supplement or something? The milk pouring out of the bullet hole when the renegade host was going slaughter crazy was a neat visual.

Well, yeah, you were the biggest, most vocal apologist for the shitshow that was the Simcity reboot.

I just realized the fly swat meant Delores was lying when she told those technicians that she would never hurt another living thing.
As others have mentioned, it might not have been a conscious lie. By the end of the episode, things have just aligned themselves sufficiently in her programming to subvert what the developers intended.

It amuses me greatly that Ed Harris's character is called "Black Hat". Not only is he an evil guy in a western, he's also a malicious hacker!
...pretty sure villains in classic Westerns are the origin of that term in the first place.
