I liked that episode in season 2 where they milked the cow and had a barn dance.

What can you do with 100 "Timmy fell down the well" episodes? It's like the whole cast was in a coma with Rick and has no idea what happened. The world is relentlessly vague and the plots are focused on emoting or running.
The show has always had terrible or nearly non-existent world buildling. Both TWD shows suffer from it. The information blackout just strikes me as excessive. People would know more about the fall of civilization and even talk about it.
The walking dead is a typical high concept show. They usually surf the concept and don't have good writing from week to week even though TWD has had some good episodes. The show reminds me of Jericho and not just because both shows cast Lennie James. Jericho never had a good episode.
I loved Rome but Purefoy was dead by the end, just like the real Anthony. I read the idea for the third season was an older Pulo reflecting on the reign of Augustus through flashbacks. Would have been nice.
The Hopkins character did say they've cured all diseases. If so they must be pretty good at trauma care too.
He's a host but the mysterious gun given to Delores could always be real.
I enjoyed that.
My wife says she read something about them expanding the shown worlds in future. In the original there was a Roman world and some others. Shown briefly.
I'm sure they have years of experience with employees who lose perspective.
There are gamers who play on very low difficulty to enjoy the narrative and spectacle. They don't want challenge. They wan an experience. Plus it's not just a violence simulator. it's sex, spectacle, etc.
She vomits it back into the bottle when they close.
They've implied that WestWorld is for the rich or super rich. Like flying the first adopters will be the wealthy so maybe robot ownership is not affordable for most people.
That could be a card they are saving for later. I suspect several of the staff could actually be androids without knowing. That was a plot point in future world, a made for tv riff on westworld.
