I remember watching the movie in Sci-Fi class in high school and thought it was a cool flick.

Cancelled my HBO when Thrones ended. Might grab this when it comes to DVD if the reviews are good.

Sixx 09-01-2016 07:21 PM

slik 10-03-2016 04:41 AM

just finished, really really good

RP 10-03-2016 05:48 AM

Seems interesting. Wish i knew what the fuck was going on.

Destor 10-03-2016 08:59 AM

Already hooked. Reminds me of Dollhouse.

Emperor Smeat 10-03-2016 11:03 PM

First episode was really good overall.

Still think its a bit crazy HBO spent around $100 million for the first season. Think the last time they spent that much money was with Rome and it ended a lot sooner than HBO wanted due to costs.

Frank Drebin 10-03-2016 11:51 PM

Westworld was cool. Just watched it. Knew it would be good. Gonna give it a few episodes before I give it any sort of seal of aporoval. Let's see how they go about things. Could just turn into a rehash of usual tropes like "is AI human?" Or "Do they have real feelings?" But I think this is going somewhere else. The Ed Harris character is probably gonna make a face turn later on.

Wondering how they clean up and reset every day or week or month or however long a session goes on for. I want to know more about the logistics of getting this operation to run and the history of it and where it fits into the world it exists in.

Triple A 10-04-2016 12:32 AM

I read some theory (I think on Reddit) that the "unimportant character" robots reset every night and just repeat their script (like Delores was seemingly doing each day) until a human interacts with them, then I guess they react or whatever... but that raises more questions/issues so idk

Also wondering how they stop humans from accidentally murdering other humans via stabbing them or bludgeoning them to death or something (assuming that the guns are "fake") or raping them

Triple A 10-04-2016 12:39 AM

wonder if the movie spoils anything about the show. kinda wanna watch it

Lock Jaw 10-04-2016 01:37 AM

Watched this..... thought it was good..... can definitely see the comparisons to Dollhouse....

Wonder what Ed Harris character is up to..... deeper levels of the game.... seems like maybe some super secret mission quests put there by Anthony Hopkins or something.......

.hack the game to find super secrets in the code.......

Blue Demon 10-04-2016 09:21 AM

DVRd it but haven't watched it. I'm a fan of both Jonah Nolan, and of Michael Crichton...so I have some decent hope for this. Looks good based on the trailer.

Frank Drebin 10-04-2016 09:57 AM

SPOILER: show
Could Ed Harris be a Slugworth type? Like hes there representing whatever competition Westworld has or the government who wants to use the tech for war? He might even have help from one of the other executives which is why hes gone undetected. Then again, he said he'd been there for 30 years so you'd think he wouldn't have been there that long.....

He's been coming there for there for 30 years, not has been there for 30 years straight...

Rome was an amazing show too.

Destor 10-07-2016 07:48 PM

Dunno where any of the thread lines are going on this show and thats fine by me. The world is fascinating.

Fignuts 10-07-2016 08:00 PM

Carnivale got cancelled because of costs too. Probably my favorite show that went unresolved. Still upsrt about that one. Hope this foesn't end up in the same boat.

Triple A 10-07-2016 08:08 PM

Feels like they are banking on this being "the next Game of Thrones" for them so hopefully should be committed to it

Sucks that Vinyl got canceled :-(

"terms of service" for visiting westworld that explains some of the "rules" and "absolves them of liability" if humans get hurt and stuff

Quote:

TERMS OF DELOS DESTINATIONS

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING THE DELOS DESTINATIONS COMPOUND (THE “SERVICE”), AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS: Upon entering the Delos Destinations Port of Entry, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions as laid out in this document.

2. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: Upon use of The Service, you agree that Delos, Inc. is not responsible for any injuries that are the result of gameplay. Recreational activity within the Delos Destinations compound does contain risks, and every effort will be made to ensure the safety of every guest. However, Delos, Inc. gives you license to experience the parks as you see fit, and certain injuries may occur.

(a) You dissolve Delos, Inc. of any responsibility financial or criminal that would result from dismemberment, broken bones, heart failure, loss or loss of use of hand and foot digits, shock, marital and relational strife, child endangerment, psychological trauma, delusions or hallucinations resulting from the realistic nature of the park experience, and/or any other physical, emotional, and psychological effects resulting from strenuous park activities.

(b) Statistically speaking, you are more likely to die from lightning strike than to die while in a Delos park. However, the following causes of accidental death have occurred within the Delos Destinations compound: buffalo stampede, self- cannibalism, accidental hanging, drowning, 3rd-degree burns, autoerotic asphyxiation, blunt force trauma, allergic reaction to non-native plant life, falling from great heights, common manslaughter, tumbleweeds. You absolve Delos, Inc. of any wrongdoing if you or anyone in your party suffers bodily harm while using The Service, and you agree to not sue or prosecute Delos, Inc. or any of the smaller entities falling under the Delos Corporation.

(c) All weapons and equipment used within Delos parks are the exclusive property of Delos, Inc. Gun ammunition contains proprietary safeguards related to bullet velocity, and tampering with gun safety features or ammunition automatically transfers liability to you and absolves Delos, Inc. of any injury or death that may occur as a result.

(d) All livestock within the Delos parks are Hosts, with the notable exception of flies. All humanoid and animal Hosts within Delos parks work to keep guests safe, even when the narrative calls for them to appear to endanger guests. Please note, the appearance of danger is not the same as true danger, and all Hosts utilize the Good SamaritanTM reflex to prevent bodily harm. However:

(e) Delos, Inc. shall not have a liability to you by reason of any delay or failure to perform if the delay or failure to perform is occasioned by circumstance beyond our control, which shall refer to any act of God, storm, fire, casualty, unanticipated work stoppage, power outage, satellite failure, strike, lockout, labor dispute, civil disturbance, riot, war, national emergency, Governmental action, Host malfunction, or other circumstance beyond our reasonable control.

3. RULES OF CONDUCT: All guest activity within the parks of the Delos Destinations compound is unrestricted and without limitations. However:

(a) Upon entering the Delos Destinations compound, you agree to voluntarily divest yourself of all cameras, cellular devices, and electronic technology capable of recording your park experience, including virtual reality recorders and devices, and holographic recreation devices. There is no video recording, audio recording, or written recording allowed within the park. You are allowed to utilize the in-park Host character PHOTOGRAPHERS, whose narratives allow for you to take Delos- approved photographs. These photographs will reflect the time period and location of the park narratives you are playing. No other photography is allowed.

(b) You agree that you will leave the Delos Destinations compound on your appointed leave date, and you will make no attempt to hide within the parks and avoid your leave date. A maximum of twenty-eight (28) days is allowed for being within the parks before guests must proceed to the Mesa Gold area for decompression. Any attempts to use the parks to avoid local, federal, or international court dates, jail or prison sentences, prosecution, or payments agreed upon in civil court or arbitration will not be supported by Delos, Inc.

(c) Please act responsibly while a guest at the Mesa Gold resort and while utilizing the Mesa Bar. Please be mindful of other guests, families, and children. Please note that while utilizing the Mesa Bar, you may interact with Delos, Inc. employees; any ideas pitched to Delos, Inc. employees automatically become the property of Delos, Inc., in perpetuity. Also, any mention of human-on-human crime admitted to a Delos, Inc. employee must be brought to the attention of Delos, Inc., and if falling within the laws of the Territory, may have to be reported to local authorities.

All human-on-human crimes taking place within the Delos Destinations compound will first be investigated by Delos, Inc.; Delos, Inc. has successfully avoided providing personal data in response to a legal process involving outside court entities for its entire history of existence.

Best first episode of something I've seen for a long time.

Like the implied relation to the original movie as well.

Really hope this is going to be as good as it looks like it could be. Guess time will tell.

Blue Demon 10-11-2016 06:45 PM

I watched both episodes....really liking it so far, I haven't seen the original movie...maybe I should go back and watch it.

RP 10-11-2016 06:57 PM
