Tommy Nooka Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Seems to have split the audience quite a bit. Loads seem to have given up on it but most of those still watching are really enjoying it. I think it's the best thing I've watched in ages, horses for courses though. I love a bit of Sci-fi and have a soft spot for Westerns so I'm predisposed to like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 3 hours ago, banana said: Two episodes in, mediocre as f**k by HBO standards so far. Telling rather than showing the story, the scenes outside of Westworld are too often canned as f**k. Blindingly obvious that this visitor dressed in black isn't actually a baddie, so no tension there. Shite acting by the honcho smoking woman and the speccy black dude. Does it improve? I know taste is subjective and all that, and that the show isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think this is the least comprehensible criticism I've read of the show so far. So congrats on that, I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Jeffrey Wright a bit robotic as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerthewitness Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Spoiler Also, anyone else think the beginning of the opening titles provides an obvious hint as to where the park is located?

J_Stewart Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 banana's modus operandi on this forum is to be as contrary with the general view as possible. I'd pay him no heed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happysouth Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Spoiler Also, anyone else think the beginning of the opening titles provides an obvious hint as to where the park is located? Nope. I don't see anything there at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Nooka Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think the park is situated on the moon. Not sure about that, how would the day/night cycle run on the moon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerthewitness Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 That would be irrelevant if the sky was artificial. If you really need to know, google it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The moon looks like it's wearing sunglasses, which is a turn up for the books. Awesome episode tonight. Hunners answered, hunners heavily suggested, couple of mind = blown moments. Thandie Newton, as previously mentioned, is simply incredible. Or especially for 'Naners, it's derivative claptrap, poorly acted, and Jonathan Nolan wouldn't recognize a decent story arc supposing it booted him square the noots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The talk of moons, day/night cycles and robots is exactly why I stopped watching it after episode 3. I'm struggling enough enjoying Game of Thrones which I've just given another try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysouth Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Sets up the final episode nicely. A lot of theories confirmed and a few further twists set up. I can't wait to go back and watch it again from the start now that we know certain things. There will be lots of stuff that was missed on first watch that will stand out now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 That was absolutely fucking ram packed full of SCENES. Tremendous. Was actually a bit like General Nonsense over the last few days, only with fewer deaths! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spur yb Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Could somebody tell me what Dolores and that guy she's with are up to, like where there going and why. Also that guy she's with what happened to the boy he came to the park with ? Is he still in it? I'm up to episode 8 but honestly haven't got a clue what's going on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William is tagging along because he's gagging for the robotic poon. Logan is still in it, but at the point you're at I think you're supposed to think he's either been killed by the Confederados or is otherwise captured. Episodes 8 and 9 are probably going to answer a lot of your questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
