New episode tonight. I'm really digging the remake. I loved the book.
Shit, I love all Crichton's shit. Eaters of the Dead, Pirate Latitudes, Sphere, etc. Anyhow, what do you guys think of it? I'm hooked.
HBO is on fuckin' fire lately.

It's about this western-themed amusement park filled with androids that people pay big money to go do whatever the fuck they want. Has some really cool existential shit going on with the robots and some good acting/writing to boot.

I can't stop watching Westworld, but I am not sure I understand a lot of what's going on. 
Thinking of going back and re-watching each episode....

The pilot will hook you. If it doesnt, dont bother with the rest of the season.

Oh, it did hook me, and I have watched every episode already.
I am just having a hard time following all the stories, especially the stories within the story that are happening inside the park.

Yeah some of the side stories are confususing due to lack of information but I think thats somewhat intentional. rewatching the episodes might help. there's also the decoding westworld podcast.

It's weird. Imagine a bit of Blade Runner mixed with Matrix and a western theme setting. From the initial trailer I thought it would be hokey but I got hooked right away.

This show is really turning up.
I wonder if Dolores and Will come across Ford's Church (and if that's indeed the start of the Arnold's "Maze" You know they are headed for something serious in that canyon. Also the Men in Black character (Ed Wood) is renewed for the 2nd season so maybe he isn't going to be able to reach the maze like he originally planned. I have a feeling Dolores and Will are going to run into the MIB and it's not going to be beneficial for the MIB.

such a great series. i hope the entertainment industry's money men are seeing how profitable actual science fiction is. between westworld, another season of the expanse and motherfucking altered carbon coming to netflix, 2017 is looking great for sci-fi.
now, if someone who is not ridley scott could get a ridley scott budget and faithfully adapt the culture cycle into a big screen franchise, that would be great.

I'm really not that impressed with it, I watched what's out so far and it's not all that great, certainly not as much as it's hyped up to be

It is pretty extraordinary sci-fi that weaves together deep theoretical physics, AI/transhumanist theory, Shakespeare, with a pretty dope instrumental soundtrack. I have been a sci-fi geek since my teens and I would say it's some of the best I have seen depicted on the big or small screen ever.
SUUUUPER duper heady mind-fuck territory though.

i had to re-watch the episodes to get really into it. don't get me wrong, i was hooked the first time watching. but there's a lot of detail that was initially missed.
