![]() ![]() And we finally know who the girl with the mesed-up face is from the very first promotional image. – Pretty impressive that I assume the villains are shooting the upgraded 'glitched' guests. Now they're playing 'Paint it Black' as the villains return to town. Probably a less psychopathic way to go about it. I guess after a while you want to know what's going on behind-the-scenes. – So the Man in Black has been spending 30 years coming here. – How many of the staff do you think are actually hosts within the larger picture? Are there any real humans left? Is Anthony Hopkins the only person left alive in the company? Oh God, we're not even through the first episode and I'm already paranoid AF. – THE PIANO IS PLAYING BLACK HOLE SUN, OMG. After all, how would they even FIND that much space on our planet? It makes me wonder if the park isn't on Earth at all. Level three, the metaphor for how our lives are just a repetition of daily routines. Level two, the possibility that they'll REALIZE the way they're treated. – So far, the show is doing a great job of making me very uncomfortable about the hosts on multiple levels. With 1400 guests in the park, the humans are significantly outnumbered. – 200 hosts is 10% of the population which brings their numbers to 2000. It's almost as if you can choose to change the narrative, especially to cater to the needs of guests of a variety of backgrounds. – Pleasantly surprised by the complete lack of racism in Westworld. Extremely interested in knowing how the actor accomplished that. – The jerky gestures on Bill are amazing. There's lore out there! Go back and explain it!! I want to know why this sub-level looks like a lobby. – Well I almost was willing to give them a pass for the female nudity because we got full-frontal male but now we've got a long conversation taking place in front of a naked prostitute. ![]() – Weird side note: Watching them put the horses together reminds me of The Cell. Question kind of answered about making sure the guests can't hurt each other. That is weird to put him on the train where the hosts can hear the guests and slowly start to put it away in the processing units to remember. – Or Teddy isn't one of the newcomers after all. – Interesting, repeat guests can apparently opt to “save their game” so to speak and have the hosts remember them. – Dude bragging about being evil for the “best two weeks” of his life without his wife and kids makes me want to throw up but that”s probably the point. – Two seconds into the show and we”ve already got female nudity. What exactly can you do in Westworld with a family? I mean, it can”t be all murder and assault, right? Where is Westworld located? How do you tell the difference between guests and hosts if you are a guest? I mean, Heaven forbid you accidentally live out your darkest desires on a real person and go to jail. – As usual, HBO is incapable of starting a show on time. ![]() I do love a good 'What makes a person a person?' philosophical jaunt! And HBO has done a great job with their Westworld website full of information and lore both from the perspective of those trying to book a trip and those who work at the park. Honestly, I'm pretty excited about this show as I think it has potential to really dig deep into the way humans behave when they think there are no consequences to their actions and are (hopefully) unpleasantly surprised when the robots rise up and fight back. Here there be spoilers! Episode One is entitled ‘The Original” and we”ll see if HBO can find an original way to deal with how horrifically I”m sure the female robots of this theme park are treated. To avoid spoiling the fun for fans on the west coast and those who have to wait to beg, borrow, or steal an HBO Go password, I”m going to (mostly) confine my stream-of-consciousness thoughts of Westworld here. Social media is dark and full of terrors spoilers. ![]()
