Westworld on HBO [SPOILERS]

Nice set up for next season. I hope the Cylons have a plan.

Season 4 Trailer.

Still say that Luke Hensworth is the actor that most reminds me of Shatner if one were going to re-do the TOS crew, and when Westworld S1 was filmed he was of a similar age to Shat in the late 60's

But he's too old to play 20-something Kirk in SNW (so is Paul Wesley, IMO, but whatchagonnado?)

Wrong thread?

No

So they did a time jump. Aaron Paul looks younger here than when he did El Comino.

love how they've passively inserted people wearing masks as a matter of course.

pre covid it wasn't uncommon to see (mostly) Asian folks around here wearing them - although it was often mistakenly presumed they meant to defend rather than contain against viral infection.

here we see a few and can guess that it's a matter of social responsibility and hygiene when someone feel a little under the weather.

I get the sense that this is a Matrix type situation, but I think this Delores is writing the version of Delores that we are initially introduced to so maybe we”re seeing past events and future events at the same time.

true, they have not been shy about timeline salad.

Wow, I really like where this is going. Definitely some time shenanigans.
Edit: and we get a date of sorts, 150 years or so after the first world war so 2050s/2060s.

Since the Golden Age World (or whatever is the actual name might be) is post-WWI and WWI ended in 1918 and emulates the Roaring 20s, and Host!William says it's 150 years later, we are more likely late 2060s/early 2070s, if not later.

Whatever Delores is doing seems to involve manipulating human minds. I'm wondering if the writer is in the future, a version of Delores that either wiped her memory, or had it wiped, in order to experience living a human life.

My theory is Christina is in the Valley Beyond/the Sublime, that her experience is a virtual one (on the servers at the Hoover Dam), but there's a feedback loop and she's subconsciously bringing aspects of her own previous experiences into the world. This is why her stories can come true, and why we see so many references to the park at the beginning. Clearly the writers want us to think she's in the park initially. There's definitely a group of men that pass her as we see her on her way to work for the first time that are speaking in a manner as Guests, and there's a black/white choice initially, though interestingly enough not for her. This is also why Teddy is there, as Dolores sent him there in season 2 after he committed suicide with his physical form. Both of them seem to be acting out their original nature, her once again an innocent, him her protector.

Loved Enter Sandman on the piano, good episode.

Time jump confirmed, but it does seem like Christina is in the same time Bernard is so I'm guessing Bernard repairs Maeve and all stories come together at the end.

I'm enjoying how they are bringing this story together this year. In some previous seasons you were guessing a bit too much for too long. Mystery is good, but confusion isn't.

I saw elsewhere someone say that this reminded them of Bladerunner, I was thinking BSG, but Bladerunner works. I feel like this is the most coherent writing Johnathan Nolan has done since the first season.

Really enjoying this season.

Another damn good episode. Confirmation that C is Caleb's daughter.

We already had confirmation that C was Frankie about two episodes ago IIRC.

I don’t think they outright said it, but I could be wrong. They implied it.

I’m confused again. Good episode though.

If they intended for that to be reality it was complete crap.

First off, Trevor! So I started slowly realizing that we were returning back to Westworld because they built that Chicago set which is just a redress. So basically this like the Cylons forgiving the humans and starting over.

point of order: he didn't make the entire trip on the horse. We have no reference for how far he drove, save if you get obsessive about the time of day he started vs when she started, or even the day - we don't know for sure that the day he shot the camper is the same day that she was rebuilt

We have somewhat of a reference of how far he drove. When Hale asks form the computer to show her William, what seemingly is a map of a quasi-U.S. comes up and William seems to be pretty far across it. I would put him as in the western Midwest somewhere. Hale then asks to be shown which hosts are in the area, and those are pretty far away. So for those hosts to have intercepted William, he would have gotten closer to Hoover Dam.

How is the current season? I stopped watching part way through season 3. I wasnt liking it as much as seasons 1 and 2, but if the current season is any good I might continue watching.

I would say that S4 was pretty good, but the last episode was kind of a stinker.

Definitely better than 3, insomuch as I can remember my opinion of 3
