WESTWORLD

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
