Show is dope as gently caress and I sure hope that HBO has another hit on it's hands.

The look of hatred in RoboDad's eyes as he was talking to Hopkins was just incredible. He had the look of someone who was about to kill everyone in the room and not even think twice about it; some real "wrath of God" poo poo.

For a few seconds, I thought that the old cowboy in cold storage might have been played by Ted Levine, which would have been a rad Easter egg. But then it wasn't.

Ted was on this past season of Ray Donovan, playing a casino owner in a small Nevada town. The name of the casino? "Buffalo Bill's".

I have a feeling that this one isn't going to see the end of the season. As soon as I saw the almost literal Mt Olympus the imperfect gods live on, I had visions of pale, naked robots climbing it.

Oh yeah, smug prick security stooge Hemsworth is definitely a candidate to bite the dust in season 1.

Paint it black was also pretty great. I'm really loving the idea of using modern music in the soundtrack, but covering it with period-appropriate instruments and style. That's super cool.

Yep. It's very Bioshock Infinite-esque.

There's also 100 narratives going on at once, and I doubt ALL of them deal with rape or murder or gunfights.

Spoilers from the preview: It looks like BH and Teddy are going to team up, with Ed Harris at one point saying something like "I didn't know you could do that" and Teddy quipping "you don't know me." I'm hoping that, as BH delves deeper into the metamaze, he'll have to deconstruct Teddy's White Hat Hero personae to get to the meat of his character. Especially since Teddy is the newbie guy who guides you around, taking him out to the badlands must have some epic purple drops.

The Delos executives are pissed that Ford is making such drastic changes to the narratives, and they sent their rep to talk to Ford about it to find out exactly what it was that he was planning.

He told her to chill out, that everything would be completed on time, and that she needs to go back to her bosses and tell them to not gently caress with what he's about to do. He also spooked the hell out of her by telling her that the reason that they sat where they were sitting was because he went into the park's files and found out that's where she and her family had a meal decades earlier, and that he knows "everything" about the guests, and the company employees, as well.

The whole thing was very Lecter-esque.
