Who is in Charlotte is a fairly cool mystery, but drat Aaron Paul is amazing and his arc with Dolores is as good as season one stuff.

Wow, budget Hemsworth got pretty fluffy in the off season. Also it felt like they put William in the trash because they had nothing left to do with his character and they know it.

Maeve goes upstairs is still the high point of the series, but at least Westworld is good again. It’s hard for me to evaluate overall because when it’s great, it’s off the charts, but it can never quite seem to deliver a payoff to match the highs.

This was a fun and good episode. The cover of Space Oddity and drugged out Aaron Paul were fantastic. I’m on Team Dolores. No more loops!

This episode was okay but Dolores doing the one thing that will make Maeve really give a poo poo about taking her down seems horribly contrived. I feel like next week is going to make or break the season. William getting called out for being an rear end in a top hat by his group after the little homage to his Confederados monologue was great though.

As much as I do enjoy this show, it always leaves me feeling a little wanting more from it. Probably because of how good it has been in Season 1. In a way season 3 is like the simulated War World. It looks good on the surface but as soon as you kick the tires you can see there isn't quite enough depth underneath it. And if you ask the right questions, you get stuck in a logic feedback loop.

In a just world we’d get to see the complete story for The OA instead of this. I’d be fine with Westworld ending this year.

I've been a steady supporter of the show but tonight was a disjointed mess. I really struggled to care about what anyone was doing. Based on the preview last week I thought tonight would make or break the season and I suspect it broke it. I can't picture coming away from the finale satisfied. I remember last season when MIB went off on the Confederados being really stoked about it. It reminded me of Vader dunking the Emperor in ROTJ. Then the show did nothing interesting with it. This show is the like the Harlem Globetrotters only none of them can score.

Human Tornada posted:Was or just me or was 95% of this episode incomprehensible? What was the button Dolores press that made her and Maeve die(?)? Why bother having fight scenes between hosts if any damage they take is seemingly arbitrary? How did Clementine get out of the park and why is she working for Hale(Dolores)? Were we supposed to care about the 30 minute monologue about "outliers" from the computer? Or the reveal that Caleb killed his buddy that we never met? Dolores or Caleb said something about an EMP being there for "reasons" Clementine is on team Maeve. Yes, we were supposed to care about the stuff but I didn't either, friend.

Fitzy Fitz posted:Man, this was the episode that made me realize I don't care about any of these characters. S3 has been all about plot reveals at the expense of character development. There was some development for Hale-bot and Caleb. That's about it. And that is precisely why so many shows fall in to the  trap. A lot of plot things can be forgiven if you care about the characters. On the other hand, twists and plot reveals fall flat if you don’t.

That was not as bad as I was expecting. It had some really cheesy moments but I felt like Caleb’s payoff was solid at least. Maybe Rehoboam played along because it just wanted to be wiped and check out of the show. Good to see Bikelores and ED-209. Post credits was awesome.

Sammus posted:Did anyone else feel like the ending reminded them of Fight Club? Yes, I half expected them to trot out the piano cover of "Where is my Mind?" Edit, maybe S4 is literally going to take place on the moon and that's why they went with Pink Floyd. Servaetes posted:It'd be incredibly stupid if Rehoboam, a God Computer would not think to transfer itself to Future Internet or anything other than just being an immobile living room sized orb in the middle of a building where people could like throw poo poo over the balcony at it. Solomon may not have been guarded all that well and that also seemed kinda dumb (why the hell would a huge storage facility for outliers be guarded by like, seven dudes???) but surely Rehoboam would have some sense of self preservation? Solomon exhibited some thoughts of its own like being incredibly condescending to Dolores ("No, you are a Delos product, made to imitate humans, we are not alike at all") so surely Rehoboam would have some contingency plans of its own? I felt like they had to pieces to answer this they just didn't put them together. Delores made a point to tell Dale that they kept their emotions on purpose. Maybe Rehobeth didn't bother making any contingency plans because ultimately it didn't care about anything, including it's own existence. It just made predictions and tried to solve the problem "society, but stable."

Maybe it's like a Sex In the City World. Something geared toward people who want a lot less violence and death in their adventure. It's not like Second Life and The Sims didn't have huge followings.

I had to Google IMDB to remember who Halebot was. Not sure if that's a damning statement about my memory, the length of time between seasons, or the quality of the storytelling. Probably all three.

Meh, I've gotten used to shows telling instead of showing when it comes to stuff like that. The world went to poo poo while Rick Grimes was in a coma in TWD, they didn't show much combat at all in Man In the High Castle. Wars and the apocalypse aren't really tough and expensive to film. From the episode preview: goddam if Teddy picking up the rolling lipstick and handing it to Delores/Christina wasn't

I have no confidence this show can string together another great season, hell I'm not even sure it will pull off another great episode, but it has pulled off some really great scenes. I'd put Maeve See Upstairs and William Goes Off on Confederados up with any individual scenes from any show, it's just they can't do it consistently and, even when they do, they can't manage to go anywhere with it.

Now that I've had a little time to think about the episode (and rewatch the last scene waiting for Last Week Tonight to start) I've decided I'm 100% on board with Wholesome Delores. The rest not so much, but maybe it'll grow on me too. Maybe it's the Ted Lasso effect, maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age. Don't know, don't care. I, too, want a story with a happy ending.

Robots wipe out humans. Discover the Frozen Ark. Repopulate Earth with all the animals that live here in the late 20th century and leave the planet as a nature preserve with no humans or hosts. The hosts then leave in a spaceship to explore the stars with their new leader, Lt. Cdr. Data.

The golf scene was really fun even though it would be comically easy to make a golf ball that could fly itself into a hole with WW technology levels, IE with internal gyroscopes. Which is actually a pretty good summary of Westworld. It's pretty cool as long as you don't think too hard about it. E: Maybe that's why VP wasn't losing his mind during it, that he suspected it was an automated golf ball but that cuts against the emotion the scene seemed designed to elicit.

This show is great again. You just have to remember not think too hard about anything that is happening. For example, one would think a giant speaker in NYC telling everyone to mob and subdue the rebels would be serious problem. Nah, don't worry about it. You just have to fight evade about 20 of them and then you'll be able to escape to your boat because apparently only those20 got the message. Is shooting a robot in the chest an effective way to disable one? Sure. They fall unconscious for a few minutes because of pain or whatever, I guess they can't turn it off. Sometimes I can't tell if watching stuff like Pitch Meetings and Critical Drinker have ruined my ability to enjoy TV like a normal person or if the writers/producers/directors really are just making a lot of bad choices in shows I watch.

I felt like this episode was a nod to The O.A. and I absolutely loved it. The little glass rooms for the Calebs. Having to learn a little bit more of the escape route each iteration. Crawling in the ceiling ducts. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it sure seemed to be.

A Buttery Pastry posted:This really episode really cements the idea that the hosts are all about the drama. Maeve could've just waited a moment for Hale to get scooped out before swooping in, but she just had to have a fight. It's fine. Host, human, whatever. This show practices rigorous file backup protocols. Just print a new one and keep going. This show is a lot of fun if you just don't think too hard about anything. It's teaching us not to question the nature of our TV viewing reality.

You just can’t think about it too hard. Hosts should be built like General Grievous or something. Or maybe have multiple pearls. E: instead they follow same rules as zombies in The Walking Dead.

NoDamage posted:This season had a promising start but they completely blew the ending. What a waste. LtCol J. Krusinski posted:I don’t know why you’d bother putting spoilers on anything, you can watch the episode a few times and still have no loving clue what happened. You can’t spoil something, if it’s rotten. That about sums it up. Even though I just watched it last night, I feel like I couldn't explain it to anyone because I don't really remember anything particularly noteworthy. There are no stakes because hosts can always just be brought back online. They spent the first 5 minutes of the episode undoing one of the big plot points of the end of the last episode. There aren't any human characters left, except for Aaron Paul's daughter, but at this point I don't even care about any of them. I guess a robot copy of a human psyche having a farewell with his daughter because he was dying for...uh....reasons? was touching or bittersweet or something. So now Clementine has become a terminator for...reaons, but she wipes on the first human she encounters after deciding to take over the world, so that was....something. And now they're off to duke it out one more time in a server farm? Seems like a dicey place to entrust your consciousness. That was my main complaint with the otherwise beautiful and great San Junipero episode of Black Mirror. Also why do hosts get hobbled and stunned by gunshot wounds and punches? They should take them like Terminators or Captain Marvel takes Thanos' punch. Bulky Bartokomous fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Aug 15, 2022 |

It didn't feel at all like a series finale to me, it felt like they reset the table for one final showdown season. To me a series finale ties everything up, this was more of a cliffhanger even if people no longer are as invested in finding out the answers.
