Not sure I see your point
Didn't say timelines...
Really? Huh... I would not have guessed. Seemed they have been playing the long game the whole time. Like the whole 'game within the game' with the old guy in black. That certainly did not wrap up in S1.
Yeah, I don’t think that’s right. https://www.google.com/amp/ew.com/article/2016/09/08/westworld-plan/amp/
During shooting of season 1 HBO had not really committed to the show for the long haul. It took a few pilots just to get them to do S1.
The history I remember was they shot a pilot episode, then another one, HBO sat on it for a while, then they started shooting with like 5 different storyboard angles dependent on whether Hopkins would be in the subsequent seasons or not and to what extent it would feature him. Once they started shooting the post-pilot episodes (I think some insane delay here, like years) they still weren't sure HBO would buy a S3, but probably a S2.
You know more of the history than me, but even still, making the original comment of "they didn't plan for more than one season" based on that seems like a stretch. Or at least, most people would read that and think the writers didn't have a story arc for beyond S1 or viewed it as a one and done, which I'm sure wasn't the case.
No, they absolutely had a gameplan for a single season. Once they got Hopkins to commit to at least EP for subsequent seasons they extended it.
It's been less than two weeks and Delos has a paramilitary team on the island as a result.
I'm fairly certain Musk built her, then when things didn't go well he scrapped the idea and claimed they got "divorced." Version 2 is the one we know now as "Talulah Riley." Prove me wrong.
She's obviously after something with her little notebook with the new infinity looking symbol. That would be lot more interesting than just being a Delios competitor spy or something. She's got to be related to the other characters somehow.
The Wire doing the docks in season 2 was completely intentional. I’m reading the new book about the Wire and they actually talk about how they used season 2 to establish that the show was bigger than the usual cops vs criminals show, that it’s about a bigger story. Simon making season two about the docks made a lot of people angry, including the cast who disliked him going from a primarily African American led story to a bunch of white dock workers. It was the story he needed to tell.
Ditto, like that theory. Elsie from season 1 said they were easier to program and may have programmed them to protect humans if she is still alive. Of course tiger lady is still alive.
Not exactly a new theory.
I think once Stubbs made an appearance in Ep1 this season, it was very likely that Ghost Nation was on the human side somehow. I still think Elsie is still alive but I guess GN could be controlled a different way. They clearly tried to rescue Sizemore from Maeve this episode.
Well, that question got answered. I thought it was funny when he chased after the woman attempting to help her.
She did make it clear that she knew this episode but I can't think of a scene previously where she found out.
I believe it’s because she remembers killing Arnold. That’s why in this episode she talked about Bernard not even knowing the man he was based on and wondering if any of the real Arnold was in him.
This is definitely a major unknown that is flying under the radar here. I haven't seen anything yet that makes me think she isn't just running Ford's programming.
He clearly did something with the data - it was a one-time use decryption, and Charlotte obviously did not find what she was looking for in Abernathy after she grabbed him (She told Bernard she could not find Abernathy, before she asked Bernard where Abernathy could be...)
That would make Maeve the only one that is truly conscious since her programming was to "Infiltrate Mainland" and she went against it by leaving the train. I'm still going with Dolores being conscious too though, since Ford's final speech started with "It begins with the birth of a new people and the choices they have to make" Obviously it could be all part of the Wyatt narrative but I'll stick with it being real. It's easier to comprehend that way.
