Westworld new trailer
- Thread starter fntiger
- Start date
I’m a bigger fan of the music than the show but I’m considering rewatching Season 1 and seeing if I can’t get on board.
I loved watching the show but for some reason I can't find the effort or desire to push through a rewatch. I can't pinpoint the reason, but Westworld kind of lacks the rewatchability that some other shows do for me. I'm sure I'd pick up on some new things but I already felt the show was kind of "repetitious" so a rewatch can be even more tedious. Whatever. Venting. But I'm super stoked for season 2 though
OP will you just change the title of the thread to "Official Westworld Season 2 Thread"? Let's just go ahead and make this the thread where we discuss the whole season.
Have watched it thrice all the way through. Nothing matches the first time but I will tell you the third time was awesome. I'm guessing it was partly because it had been so long since watching the first time.
so, I was streaming it on Kodi and the first episode was uploaded incorrectly and I ended up watching the season finale first...
I knew enough about the show going in that I wasn’t completely lost but halfway in was thinking - this is odd... kept with it and finally realized about 10 minutes left that it was the finale
I was too bummed to go back and watch it all, but I’m guessing from what you guys have said that there’s enough rewatchability that I will still enjoy the full season?

It is so amazing but you fvcked yoreself watching the finale first. Thoroughly fvcked.
I think the production value and the music are the coolest parts of the show.
I thought the plot got a bit tedious. But I also agree with the show runner, Jonathan Bolan, that having a show go “viral” like Westworld, True Detective, etc is both a blessing and a curse. It gets people watching and talking which is awesome. But he said you can’t outsmart the entire internet community so eventually someone guesses everything right and can spoil it for a bunch of people. I think that’s what happened to me. Read too many theories on reddit and eventually everything sort of became too predictable
Yeah. Her arc was a little too much for me. Just how easy it was for her to gain consciousness and also how stupidly helpless those two “butchers” were that she manipulated
the music continues to just be absloutely ridiculous
WESTWORLD SEASON 2 SPOILERS: REDDIT VIDEO FROM CREATORS IS AN ELABORATE RICKROLL HOAX
Well, that's a choice.

I hope it's not a let down because I haven't been this excited about a second season of a show in a very long time.
The Internet forums and podcasts on TV shows have made life impossible for writers IMO. It's also the worst way to obsess over a show for me. I went down the wormhole on True Detective and it made the process of watching the show worse in the end. It's just too much. Put a few million minds on something and they'll figure out every conceivable angle and ruin the ending of anything I think. It becomes a game where everyone wants to beat the writers and prove to be smarter than anyone else. And then writers have to get too cute to try to keep reddit from figuring everything out.
The way netflix will just dump a season at a time makes it better imo. You can just binge it all at one time.
I personally like the traditional format better. The conversation between episodes is a lot of fun to me. And it builds a lot of excitement. Plus, everyone is mostly on the same page. No need to be cautious with people about spoilers and shit.
It’s annoying watching a whole season of house of cards or something and not having a place to talk about it. The Netflix show subreddits are always dead.
Both have their pros and cons
HoC subreddit was actually pretty good imo. The individual episode discussion threads at least.
But agree the state of the sub as a whole is far less fun. Breaking Bad's was wild when it was airing.
I guess the only person I ever talk about shows with is the Spouse so we end up watching at the same time. I can see your point though.
I don't think the over-analysis and end guessing ruins shows like Breaking Bad. Same with something like The Wire if it was being run for the first time today. But these big suspense/mystery/sci-fi things are a different animal where figuring out the endgame is a bigger deal and people posting their theories actually seems to take some steam out of the show for me. I guess the more character driven I am by the show, the less the possible spoilers impact me. The more plot driven the show is, the more the online community covering every possible angle and discovering every clue waters it down.
A show is a good show if I'm really upset when it ends, knowing I have to wait another week to see a new episode. Westworld nails that measurement. I'm so let down when it's over because I could bing watch the entire season and would ask to have a toilet moved to the den so I wouldn't have to get up at any point. It's that enthralling even if it has some plot issues here and there.
I also watched Fear the Walking Dead (good episode) and Billions (good episode) last night. Busy night for TV for sure. Walking Dead had a bounce back season for sure IMO. BILLIONS is pure awesomeness. Won’t be too long and GOT will be back. What a time to be alive!
I could be wrong, but I feel like the Maeve storyline is gonna be really predictable. She's just gonna wander around all the different worlds in search for her daughter. Then when she finds her, the daughter won't recognize her one bit and will have tons of affection for her "new" mother and family. Thus Maeve will be conflicted on how she then handles the situation. Forcefully takes her daughter from her new home in hopes of getting her to remember her past or to let her remain happy with her family? My guess is she leaves her where she finds her and then possibly decides to clone her or something.
As for Bernard, curious as to when he actually really picks a side and reveals to everyone that he's a host or not. Eventually someone is gonna find out.
Man in Black/William will wind up in a showdown with Teddy and kill him. Maybe William will force Dolores to make a choice. Does she want Teddy? Or does she want a chance to see the outside world and William is the only person who can give that to her.

I generally like the Maeve character, but hope they don't spend too much time on her because I do agree if feels a bit predictable and basic. Other than that small complaint I'm good.
For whatever reason I'm less "where is this going" obsessed with this show. I love the concept, the idea of us creating an alternate world we can "vacation" in with these hosts who eventually gain some level of consciousness. It's a better play than the other "machines take over the world" stuff I've seen. It's beautifully shot and acted. And since we're only in season 2 I'm not to the point where I feel a need for closure of any kind with any character. I can watch this without much worry about where it's all going or how they are going to tie up this story or that. Just enjoying it on a basic level.
It’ll be interesting to see how they develop these robot characters. In the most realistic sense (to me), all the AI that just gained consciousness should be really emotionally immature right now. It’ll be interesting to see if they eventually gain the ability to feel sympathy or empathy or if they’re always just gonna be full of rage. Bc right now they’re just super powered babies except for Bernard.
