Yeah, but he keeps telling people how much he’s “working” on WOW........while he attends cons, produces other shows, writes other stories, etc. For better or worse, he created this expectation. Fans have poured money and time into this series, the absolute least he could do is be honest about what is happening. I mean…

I don’t have a problem with him not wanting to finish the story, my problem is that he’s actively misrepresenting what is going on to his fans. The whole thing seems very dishonest. He just needs to come out and admit that he’s not finishing the series.

The problem is more the fact that he is not being honest about what is actually happening.

If he just came out and said, “Sorry guys, I am just not interested in finishing this anymore” then I would have so much more respect for him.

Ok, but yall gave the world “aboot” and “sowry” so we’re more than even.

The only thing I can think of is that for some reason it was all part of some larger conspiracy to let the park go to shit for 2 weeks or something like that. But even then, what?

Yep. The show still feels like it never graduated past the level of interesting thought experiment. This is ok when you’re doing a show like the Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, where the stories are anthologized and resolved within an hour, but this is a serialized drama. As such, the implications of the technology and…

This is one of my biggest problems with Westworld. In typical Nolan bros. fashion so many of the technical aspects of how this world works are hand-waved to the point where it is hard to actually establish meaningful stakes or internal consistency.

I am usually ok with handwaving, but if you’re trying to aim for a…

This is an important point and I’ve heard this view from other people in the military. My father is retired special forces, and he routinely tells me that the military, in actual combat zones, seems to have a way higher standard for engagement (i.e. use of force) than domestic police departments (at least based on his…

Easily the best sci-fi show since BSG. Very character driven and is unique in that it actually makes some attempts at getting the physics of space travel/colonization accurate and even integrates them into the plot.

That’s a really good point.

Go back to 4chan you fucking incel.

“overexaggerating”

Another one for the Department of Redundancy Department.

Same. I know how statistically “safe” everything is, but I see shit like this and it completely overrides the rational part of my brain.

Everyone who ever boarded a plane that crashed probably reassured themselves about how safe everything was too. No one ever thinks it’s going to be them, do they?

Are you going to tell us to get off your lawn next?

I don’t think it’s necessary at all.

Keep in mind that there were only a few thousand Jedi around in a massive galaxy of hundreds of billions of people/beings. Even when they were at their zenith, the vast majority of people in the galaxy never saw any Jedi; especially outside of the core worlds. The Empire also…

Messianism is coming. You’ll want spoiler tags.

Sorry if that was a spoiler.......................
 

Yeah. I adore The Expanse but the writers have always claimed that their first priority is ‘space opera’. I think the level of realism in the way they depict space travel and colonization is a bit overstated given that they (by their own admission) have bent the rules a few times and gotten things wrong for…

Fair enough, but we really have very little to go off of here.

As for Glover, it kinda just looks like he’s playing Donald Glover, which I really don’t mind because Billy Dee Williams was basically just playing Billy Dee Williams in the original trilogy, so in a spiritual sense, it kinda works.

The prequels looked like pretty video games.

(And please don’t link me to that practical-effects-in-the-prequels-video, folks. I’ve seen it. Doesn’t change the fact that they relied way to heavily on CGI.)

It works perfectly when you realize they’re going for a space-Western with this movie.
