Looks interesting, but I wonder if there's gonna be any story beyond what they've just shown? If not, why watch it, they've just revealed the whole story arc.

To be fair, it's based on a pretty good movie from the 70's, so if you've seen that chances are you know roughly what the plot line is going to be. I'll be intrigued on how they'll extend it for more than one season, though.
It has a killer cast, though: Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, and Jeffrey Wright among others.

I'm hooked, as soon as the opening title sequence began and looked liked Game of Thrones I was in. JJ Abrams, Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris.

Watched the premiere last night. It was ok. I know nothing about the premise other than the preview but it seems like I already know how this is going to go. Nice settings and cinematography so will continue to watch.

Louis Herthum's performance was amazing. Fingers crossed that we'll see more performances like his!

do you think the flies that are landing on them are reprogramming them?

I think it is actually the old guy "Anthony Hopkins" that is secretly doing this with his "update". Or it could be the younger british programmer guy screwing it all up so he can take over the company and kick the old boss out. Just my theory.

Great episode. I had called that little twist from episode 1/2 because of the way he would pause when thinking about things. Totally this is done on purpose and the actor/director did an awesome job portraying this.
When he said "what door" oh man the feels.

Maybe someone can clear something up for me. I get that the guns won't let you shoot another human in the park, but what's to stop you from killing another human if you stab them?
Also it was said hosts can't kill or even leave a lasting mark on a guest, but in the last episode Dolores totally knifed Logan in the face, in pretty sure that shit is gonna scar...
radioman
11-30-2016, 08:25 AM
^she has overwritten her programming and can harm humans like Maeve. Thats how I'm understanding it.
Hosts can hurt guests a little like we have seen in a few clips(fist fights, getting tied up, etc).
what about hanging. that 1 scene seemed like it was against programming.
radioman
11-30-2016, 08:46 AM
The one with the MIB at the end of the show? That chick who knocked him out is one of the "rogue" hosts as seen in the church. Basically any of the Arnold developed hosts seem to be able to go against the rules they were set with once they "remember".
ah that's what i couldn't remember. i thought it was like a loophole where she's not hurting him...just wrapping some rope around him...and the horse isn't hurting him, just naturally walking away
sort of like this logic :lol

I mean I could be wrong, this is a complex show. I'm actually a little upset that he ending up being Arnold 2.0. Much rather have had Arnold being this hidden person who wasn't really dead in the park.
One could argue that he still is hidden in the park with the backdoor codes hes written in some of the hosts like Maeve and Teddy etc. Was just hopping for a wizard of oz man behind the curtain moment.

There was that episode when a fly landed on her and she killed it. That foreshadowed her evolution.

Arnold aka skynet who tells the androids to "remember" is different from Arnold 2.0 aka t1000 who walks and talks around. They're like two entities in the show.

Ya I worded it poorly. What I'm talking about is there is no physical Arnold which I was wanting to see, instead we have the embodied Arnold 2.0 who is doing Fords work and Arnold who lives within the minds of the hosts.
Like I said I wanted an old Arnold hiding somewhere in the park making a host army.

11-30-2016, 12:36 PM
Ok, but that still doesn't answer my question about a guest stabbing another guest. Since everyone looks human the guns have a failsafe to not actually shoot a living person. So if a guest decides he wants to go Jack the Ripper on everyone, he won't be able to tell who's actually real... So assuming everyone's safety is guaranteed in a park like this, what's stopping a guest from stabbing another guest by accident?

Only rich people can afford to enter this amusement park so there won't be full crazies, but remember that scene when the guy in black was going to try and stab ford and teddy flood aka cyclops grabbed the knife. There's probably fail safes in the androids to stop humans from hurting other humans.
MarkyMark
12-01-2016, 06:19 AM
Oh rich people can be crazy too lol
Still seems like kind of a loophole cause an Android might not be around to save the day, but I guess I'll just look past it lol

I agree with Marky Mark.
This show has a bunch of plot holes that don't make any sense, it's made it hard for me to really follow.
For example the train they rode out to the war, how is that in the park? How were they on a train for days, wouldn't they be in another State by then? How big is the damn park?
Also the guy who's getting married and that host girl who's learning about the world, how have they been out and about fucking around all this time without the park maintenance team not see what's going on, and figuring out these guys are way off the beaten path? They seem to be able to monitor the minute a host started functioning incorrectly, yet they haven't noticed all the other stuff going on?
I'm so damn confused with this show, and it's not just the weed I smoke when watching it.

Totally feel the same way as some of you guys. I'm typically not picky about horrible CGI, plot holes, horrible acting and the usual shit people complaint about but there's so much shit in this show that makes me go huh? Despite that I'm still enjoying it for what it is but shit, how big is this fucking place?
krazynuck
12-04-2016, 11:53 AM
For me those could plot holes or just vague explanations of where this takes place...its in the future so maybe a different planet part of the planet that is no longer have people living in it?!?!
For the point about Will and Dolores being to do what they want I wpuld assume that at the start of tge park there was less staff or restrictions...plus Will and Logan were looking to invest in the park so maybe they gave them free range?? Not sure about the train time though...
Obviously everything is looped and repeats every 3/4/5 days ect. But what bothers me is gow they clean up the mess...i mean removing a body is fine but removing bullet holes from wood or clean up blood is hard.
With everything that might make this show confusing, the amazing cast, plot twists and epic speeches make this show one of my favourites.
I also love the mix of timelines

This show is amazing. Absolutely brilliant writing. All the predictable plot twists are all the ones that don't matter and it's great. If you didn't understand anything before, it will all make sense in the finale. It's a slow burning show, but it was all worth it.

I hated William's storyline throughout the whole series. I'm happy it served a purpose right at the finale; it was the biggest mindfuck of the series, aside from Ford's revealed true intentions

Didn't Logan say something along the lines of "40k a day and this is what you want to do?"
