Movies and TV Ed Harris takes Top villain role in HBOs "Westworld" reboot - Page 33

Frazod · 04-23-2018, 10:48 AM

Did HBO have a free preview weekend? I dumped HBO after GOT ended, and meant to resubscribe yesterday prior to WW starting, but forgot. But last night's episode still recorded normally. If this is the case, I guess I'd better call DTV before next Sunday.

As far as the episode went, it was good, but a bit confusing. Been so long since the show was last on that I forgot a lot of the plot points. Should probably rewatch the final episode of Season 1 and then rewatch this.

I do find the multiple timeline thing to be annoying, though. I blame Christopher Nolan.

Good stuff. I wish that boss bitch died at the end of season 1 but whatever. I'm glad they kept Hector alive he's a badass

These violent delights have violent ends.

Great opening episode. Lots of violence, geeezzz.

If I ever visited Westworld amusement park in real life, I'd get as far as the "welcome wagon" and spend the entire time banging Dolores in the whorehouse above the saloon. Sure, I'd miss 99.99% of what the world had to offer, but god damn...it'd be money well spent.

What was that stuff Bernard shot into his head/neck? Was that whatever watery substance in that one host's brain area?

It seems there is only a certain amount of time before imminent death until they replenish that supply.

I assume it was like their blood. The robots can apparently bleed out just like Johnny 5 in Short Circuit 2.

I have a feeling it will be explained some in coming episodes.

From the way Bernard employed it, it seemed to be some kind of fluid vital to effective operation. The easy thing is to analogize it to blood, but I'm at a loss for a rationale for the creators to introduce that kind of feature. I mean, it doesn't look like blood, and there is something in them that does look like bllod, judging by the 'kills.'

Perhaps its a nanofluid that facilitates communication, perhaps even communication to the neural network of the park.

I believe it's the fluid (coolant?) that's in the CPU housing in his head and he's sprung a leak. They focused on the fluid the couple times they showed the removal of other host CPUs in the episode earlier on.

Episode 2 furthered the story. Off to a good start this season. Delores looks good in cocktail black.

Good to hear that this show still has it

Damn the time jumping is frustrating on this show.

Yes agree wholeheartedly.

I'm finding the whole Bernard story line very unbelievable. No one seems to notice that he is dripping liquid from his ear or that he is just fine without his glasses. Or the people that have gone missing when around him.

A lot like Game of Thrones... I watched the first few seasons of it and just didn't see what the big deal was about.

So, Westworld... The fact that this high tech amusement park with weapons and real dangerous environments has been cut off and no one really seems all that concerned? Where to the androids get their energy and after watching their lack of respect for human life, why would a technician help them?
