To echo everyone else, Red Dead Redemption was one of the most enjoyable, immersive game experiences that I've experienced. Speaking for myself, open-world games often feel over-whelming to the point of being incapacitated after 20 minutes or so of playing (Far Cry 4 being a prime example), but there was something

Ken Bone and his Big Week are a microcosm of the world today, and that's not a good thing.

That photo might be the most disturbing thing I've seen this election cycle, and that's saying something. The image on the far left…oy…

Network scriptwriters, who have so much to write with comparatively little time to write it, really ought to stay away from time travel, period. There are just too many opportunities to get unstuck, and this episode epitomized that.

Also, do we know whether the park occupies physical real estate? The way in which the two new guests suddenly found themselves appearing there was a little Inception-esque. Combined with the way in which the park operators look over that map, it made me question whether the geography actually has real-world

I'm sure it's been said in the comments below, but it is past 11pm on a Monday and I can't be bothered to look - he's the Kenny of the show.

I was thinking the same thing, but it surely can't reset every day. For those on the lower-level quests - like accompanying the drunk guy on his treasure hunt - it presumably goes on longer than a day. And surely it would take the guests out of the experience if they saw the same characters re-programmed every day.

Just how big is the park? Ed O'Neil's character has been there for 30 years (or coming back for 30 years, which, granted, is a very different proposition), but has never found this village? The fratboy black-hat this episode said that he had never probed the geographical limits of the park, though we would seem to

I assume it's the "wild" part that appeals. The lack of law enforcement, and the ability to do whatever you want. That said, as the two guys were tucking into their dinner this week, I was thinking how you never saw fine dining as being a characteristic element of "Deadwood".

What was likeable about her, funny comments notwithstanding? She's the worst kind of adulterer - the one who cheats, and tells her friends about it, but intentionally tries to leave her husband feeling like the one who screwed up.

It would have been interesting to see where it was heading. I think it probably only had a season left in it anyway. Netflix should just commit to finishing off all of the "Brilliant But Cancelled" shows.

I wish it were otherwise, but I know from experience that this is a very realistic portrayal of married life in financially well-off suburbia. Sadly, the only thing that didn't ring true in the episode was the size of that dining room table.

It's going to take a lot, beyond SITC fondness for SJP, to make Frances likeable.

He'll always be Guinea Pig Man to me.

I guess that would be one way of making sure that a guest doesn't shoot another guest.

I don't know how anyone could not be at least intrigued by the idea of "Westworld". It's basically Lost meets Red Dead Redemption meets Jurassic Park. What's not to love?

Were other guests wearing brown hats?

Fair point. It doesn't. Just felt like saying it.

She's Elon Musk's ex-wife.

Carnivale was a great show, but I think the pacing of the first season caused a lot of people to bow out.
