Was dissapointed in it.  Hadn't read the book or seen the old one.  But the advertisement made it more of a virtual reality not robots.  Robots are so 20th century.  

 

Would have been better if it was VR and people's minds where trapped in it. 

As far as the show. Jumped around and seemed to skip part's of the story.  I get they want you to try to guess who is real and who isn't. Bit seemed like all the good characters are robots.  

 

Also ripped off The Hunger Games with the board 

 

Did like the remix of Paint it Black.

I gotta disagree with you. There were a few interesting characters that weren't robots. Ed Harris looks like he'll be the most interesting character, and he wasn't a robot.

I think Harris IS a bot. It'll be a twist. He'll be a robot that's become self-aware. They say bots can't harm humans. So when Teddy (a bot) shot him, it did no harm. But why did Teddy even fire at him in the first place? He wouldn't even fire if Harris was human. Perhaps, since Teddy is a bot pretending to be human, they gave him a gun with blanks, but still ... the jury is out on Harris.

Crazy theory ... Delores is human.

And Squirrel, sorry you thought it was VR ... but that's not what the original movie was about so it never would be about that. And LOL at saying they ripped off the Hunger Games. Dude. You need to up your film game and see stuff filmed before 2000.

Umm, yes Ed Harris is a robot.

He said he was one that kept coming there and he paid a lot to do that.  And that's why the other guy shot him but couldn't kill him.  They set it all up like he was a human using it for evil fun. 

Found this on a website:

In the original Westworld, the Gunslinger/Man in Black played by Yul Brynner was one of the robot hosts who goes on a killing spree. But here, showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have given him a new twist. This character, now played by Ed Harris, isn’t bad because he’s a robot that lacks human compassion, instead he’s an unhinged superfan (he’s been coming for decades) who has decided to unravel some mysterious conspiracy in the sprawling park.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
