Sylvester was reprogramming hosts to gently caress staff and deleting the logs. It's not shown, it just comes up in dialogue when Maeve blackmails him with it.
Yes, well put. The robot was blackmailing the poo poo out of these two dinguses.

Imagine instead of Maeve you had to outwit Bender. Could you withstand a game of manipulation against Bender?

Our boy jimmi Simpson shows up in the new episode of Black mirror and it's a really really fitting role. Ryhmes with his role in westworld, and is a sort of corralary. Kind of fun to think about his character having the same experience across shows - adds to the depth of what he says and experiences in the black mirror ep.

When did this show come out? I thought i wasn't going to see it this soon.

I was like "lol the first 3 piano notes sound like that kanye song, but then it does someting else"


then halfway through I remembered this show does old timey covers of modern songs and thought oh I wonder what actual song it is, then I realized it was the kanye


Even the robot animals are in the rebellion! What's up with that party where everyone seems frozen? Does it elude to more than just the park being robots - that a ritzy party is actually part of the simulation? How many layers are there? You go to the park but really even your outside life was part of the game? And you're goal is to keep getting out and out and out each layer at a time?

It'd be like a fitting way to end lost - an inception levely sort of vacation you put yourself in.

the kanye song was used on the trailer to the bbc bitter lake trailer but all their audio has been taken down :(

They did a good job at messing with my expectations in how they altered that song for the trailer. The first 4 notes are really recognizable, but by playing the first 2 or 3, then swithcing to the chorus it through all of us off.

The name is runaway, which is really interesting thematically to what would be going on in Westworld. Who is running away? Who are the jerk offs? whose email has dick picks in it?

I don't understand why this silly idea keeps coming up.

Because the original Westworld Movie was just "What sets do we have?" at whatever backlot they were filming on

HBO owns medival fantasy world, urban decay cop world, middle school world, weekly round up talk show, etc so these are all possible sets for Westworld

What the gently caress

so at first I'm like "oh this is just re-edited stuff" but then realize that it's new and the voice over is new. Then I realize that it's actually delores and the other one playing some music, it sounds familiar but I can't remember


And why when I mouse over the video is there a dog for 20 minutes?


Oh gently caress!

I think that was part of the point of showing the contrasts. Like a new host was given Dolores'_Dad.cfg, but it wasn't him. There are these things that build up inside the host program as junk data, but which still influences the deeper aspects of a host. I guess the best way to put it is that if you clear out the reverie stuff, you lose the "soul". Ultimately though the new dad acted the same way superficially, called her the same pet name, had the same routine, etc.
Yes

Evolutionary instinct is just baked in memories over millions of years. Hosts are doing the same thing. You clear their poo poo, or prevent them from accessing it and then they are just slugs

Holy poo poo, Westworld could use actors of the show playing roles as a shoehorn to getting the actual actor there as a doppleganger.

Dolores' dialogue was really bad. The scene where she's hanging people was cringey. Also, there was a scene where The Man in Black/William essentially looks into the camera as his theme song plays.

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." :smug:
Yea what the gently caress!


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

Re: Dolores's monologue being over the top: She can't help it, she was written made that way. There's an interesting disconnect that's beginning to feel weirder and weirder when the robots start talking for "themselves". They're using our language. And specifically they're using the language of an overwrought western. Dolores is going to speak in absurd monologues because that's what she was taught to speak. Flowery monologues as Dolores, and fiery ones as Wyatt, but either way she is a literal monologue machine. The viewer more and more is going to have to emotionally translate that over the top performance back into what it really means in essence.

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.

I think I may have to stop reading up on the season. The internet has speculating down to a science and already things have been spoiled that are almost definitely true.

For instance, There are probably multiple Bernards

I binged the first season and only read up on it after finishing, which allowed me to discover so many new details on subsequent rewatches. I think I'd like to experience that again.

Yea and it may explain why some of the talk was so hamfisted.

Could this all be an elaborate test of the early system - see if the bots could kill things they thought were guests?
