Thanks to Mathias’s excellent development as a character, I never get squicked by Zahn McClarnon, it’s just a pleasant surprise and I go “Hey, Mathias!”

Daddy Delos was the great Peter Mullan and we damn well better see some more of him this season. I love that growly bastard.

2 Quick Things I Noticed:

It was delightful to see Zahn McClernon turn up, too. I hope we see more of him.

All this has happened and will happen again.

What if you and I are the hosts?

I noticed the textile block and it is from the Millard House.

Ok, I’m only a couple paragraphs in and I’m already frustrated to the point I need to skip down and comment.

I do enjoy the parallel of Delores and Maeve: both freed robots, with handsome righthand men, and each with a kidnapped human scientist,. But they both have different agendas.

I’m wondering how far the hosts have already extended into “real” society. We know that Ford has the capacity to hide hosts in plain sight among real people (Bernard in S1). We’ve now seen in S2 that hosts have been deployed in the real world for various functions. Where does it end? Are Delos replacing real…

So immortality seems to be a goal. Maybe they outright said that, and I missed it, but I assume that’s how William convinced the elder Mr. Delos to invest time and money in Westworld.

Hi, Giancarlo. Bye, Giancarlo. Glad I wasn’t spoiled for that, but I wish he would’ve stuck around a little longer.

Since when does Trump need fodder to call out “the media”? I especially like how we pretend it’s the whole media, too. The people who can’t tell the difference between a Daily Show comedian and the NYT are the people who believe the news is “biast” for not agreeing that Trump’s inauguration crowd was bigger than…

I sympathize, but it really doesn’t matter. The chucklehead-in-chief just makes up whatever bullshit story he needs to, and the dipshit who support him don’t care that they’re being bullshitted. In fact, they prefer it that way.

Not really. Michelle Wolf is punching up. That equals comedy. Speaking truth to power is the bomb.

Agree - as a woman who was in college the same time as Paige, I can tell you that if a girl was even in a bar fight back then, everyone would be talking about her. A girl winning one? A legend.

If his writing is half as good as the show, I think I’ll be tracking down some of his other work as well.

I mean, I think we only disagree about Crozier being a psychic all along (and our interpretations of what happened with Silence, which is fine). (And I did not want to go into the part with Hickey, since that, at least, is almost definitely going to make it into the show and I was trying to be considerate.)

The book was an enjoyable read, even at its massive size, even though I knew ahead of time how it ‘turned out’, even though I knew much about the Franklin expedition. I suspect you’ll enjoy it as well, even though you’ve watched the series first.

It’s rare for a show to meet my hopes so well. The atmospheric horror and the nautical period setting made me unreasonably optimistic about it and it has not disappointed. I really want to read the book, but I want to wait until the show is over (without doing the AMC Prime thing).
