I don't think underground. Delos is the mythological island where Apollo was born in Greek mythology so island could work - maybe even metaphorically if by island it's some kind of space station (going with the decompression statement).
They explain that the most recent "software update" has given the hosts "reveries" which allow them to access specific memories and also exhibit more human gestures. This is what will ultimately doom Westworld.
which one is Beetee?
I think someone else mentioned this up-thread, but it really comes down to what makes an act "evil" the actor or the victim? I get the sense that the message they are going to hammer is that the "guests" are generally evil people wanting to fulfill these "fantasies" against life-like bots. I assume that the hat choice is symbolic of choosing good v. evil.
yeah- wright's the one I have my eye on... mostly because of how anthony hopkins talks to him and the comment from the hunter in ep1 about him not having a family- seemed loaded.
I hear you about having been done before, but I like the theme... wouldn't bother me if one or all of the staff were synthetic.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out. But, I imagine you need quite a few twists in a show like this - once the Bots gain self-awareness and seek revenge - where do you go from there? At the pace they are moving - killing a fly -> knowingly finding a loaded gun -> ? -> ? not too many steps before a guest is killed.
He was looking at a picture of a kid though last night, in his living quarters - right?
true. but like blade runner, could be an implanted memory or prop. it's what's great right now- so early on- guessing at what's real and what's not. that's charged by the guests constantly talking about the hosts not being real to their faces.
I thought some of the memories included things that were outside the park? (city/port scene?)... and characters- but then the characters (painted injuns) showed up in the writer's new story reveal.
it was telling how he went from supremely cocky to imploringly needful of positive support only from the beginning to end of ford's denouncement.
Le's just say I was emotionally erect the entire time while watching West World. War and Peace did not give me that same feeling.
The Western part is a backdrop to the main story - there is no real flow to the western part of the show. They frequently show the same day over and over - just to show how the hosts interact with the different guests, and how the hosts are becoming infected. The plot of the show revolves around how the hosts are evolving as "beings"Saw the original about a hundred years ago and the only thing I remember is the western scifi part of it
One of the other worlds is Westeros.
just watched both episodes last night (had read a little in here first). This was my first thought. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CHEESY.
This is what we're led to believe early on in the show after the Ed Harris/Teddy encounter, but as the episode evolved I think we're shown that the bots are incapable of trying to harm living things, not just incapable of following through on it thanks to their weaponry.
I think its more explicit than that - someone posted an article above where one of the showrunners said expressly that it is the simunitions that prevent damage to guests. This is opposed to the movie where the guns apparently had a heat sensor to determine if the target was human.
