I might have to for the Mrs. as even the first three seasons she was lost at the beginning of 2&3. It's been a couple of years since we watched she won't remember who is who. I had the advantage of reading the books so knew roughly what was happening (even though it's been probably about 20 years since I read the first)
Two episodes of Westworld left. It gets convoluted in the middle but still retains interest mainly through the mostly very good acting and scenery/visuals, plus the intrigue in what the fook is going on with some of these droids and what the fook this Arnold bloke has done and where he has got to. Thandi Newton's character is probably on the best narrative arc. The Ed Harris dude searching for whatever he's searching for also keeps you interested. Some of it is weak though like the two rich dude rivals' story and all that. I hope it gets resolved and the writers actually have a plan and an end point unlike something like Lost which it is somewhat comparable to in that there's this big secret that they keep holding off on and all the mystery, if it faffs out by the final episode I'll throw my bloody laptop at the nearest cowboy
Keep going to the end, that story line get a big resolve and gives satisfaction. The big secret is alittle bit too big and is going to need the 2nd series coming in order to get itself across.
No A) cheap nasty reality tv stuff B) smacks of old guy to infirm to razzle whos run out of cash C) have you seen goldburg at 50 razzlin in wwe again.
So finished Westworld and was left underwhelmed. It had it's moments but there were too many false threads, too much clever clever reshuffling the pieces every episode and ultimately it was ground down by the weight of its own ambition (admirable but self-serving) meaning that the finale was pretty limp and lacked the huge impact they wanted and that it could've had. Some of the acting was very good though and it does have enjoyable qualities but it's not amazing. @RogerisontheHunt Then the thing with William and Logan that I mentioned, I did twig that William had some bigger connection to the corporation but alright, they got me with the big revelation about him, shoulda twigged that, I thought maybe Ed Harris was his father or something. The bigger Ford revelation wasn't handled well I thought but it does set up another season. Surely with the fact that there are several parks with that main hub where the trains go connecting them it means that all of that is part of 'the game' or 'the narrative'. The game doesn't only start once you step inside the world you visit, it starts as soon as your journey to that hub begins and I think that some people who seem to be human are androids, we'll see, they seemed to float that idea with Asian repairs guy's reaction when he finds out about Bernard Back to Wikkings and GT !! New episodes !!
Give us a break, guys. I don't mind you saying I'm 100, or even calling me Kirk Douglas, but stop tagging me on this crapfest of a thread.
I watched it when it was women competing and thought it was decent. Nothing special but watchable and think Mito is being a bit harsh on it
Good film A couple weeks back i put Deepwater Horizon on my watch/recommend list, should've watched it first as my opinion changed somewhat ... it's a piece of ****
