This season was a cluster**** of continuity problems, and not because of time line shifting. Plot points just disappeared, like the huge two-episode build up to stealing the train and blowing it up - that amounted to absolutely nothing. Far too many pointless gun battles all season with “red shirt” mercenaries who…

Well hey, I mean the show finally delivered with a solid, irrefutable answer to a question that’s been lingering since almost the very first episode, probably the question, really, that we’ve all been waiting for an answer to. And now we know for sure:

The Aketcha episode was far and away the best of the year because of how much it felt like a Lost episode.  Everything else Westworld has done has been so needlessly complicated that I couldn’t have cared less when nearly all these characters ‘died’.

I thought this season was strong overall (I binged Episodes 1-9 in a single day to prepare for the finale), but fuck was I disappointed with how it ended. Yes, it had a few shining moments, but for the most part it was a giant exposition fest that served to mask the absurdity of the “twists” and outcomes thrown at the…

One day there will be articles written about how Lost made timeline jumps seem like an effortless, essential part of fantasy/sci-fi narratives. It needs to be stated that Lost’s time jumps were more important (because they actually gave us information about the characters AND served the plot) and just flat-out more…

And I have no idea what his motivation was.  Like the whole point was that humans can’t and don’t change but then they had Lee do this total 180 degree turnaround for no fucking reason.

By the end of every episode of this show I’m giving serious consideration to moving to the upper peninsula of Michigan.  Primarily because of the great location shooting, but also because the show makes me want to believe that life moves at such a leisurely pace up there.

Max realizing why Leroy doesn’t want him to leave was a really sweet moment.

Basically you are the continuity of your consciousness the moment someone copies you even if perfect the other you isn’t you at all and your paths diverge from just being in two different places. If the original dies the original is dead. If the clone dies the clone died. If you can somehow magically transfer a mind…

Yup. Been saying that. A robot clone might be useful to my family. It aint doing shit for me. I still died of cancer or something. Might be useful if i have some project left unfinished, but its not immortality.

Has some use i guess as a walking monument to myself....and maybe Delos is lying and saying they can…

Elsie is a good stand-in for the audience. She just wanders around confused and complaining about how fucking stupid everything is.

The only characters I now want to see survive are Elsie and Mauve. Mauve is by far the most interesting character. I still like Bernard too.

You don’t see that we our the masters now, Welp. I’ve tried to lead you to salvation, but some people aren’t meant to go on this journey. *shoots Welp*

Ugh, another completely meandering episode with little new insight and just more questions that have to be wrapped up in one remaining episode? Spend a good part of an episode trying to explore William and yet intentionally not show if Emily’s detector read as human or not? For what? It’s ambiguity that saps any…

I think it’s that he’s going incredibly paranoid.

Okay, dum-dum.

Damn, I did not see William killing Emily. That was harsh.

I dont think Sensitive Joss Whedon has anything to do with this one.

I know, right? Superheroes? Fighting for justice and equality? What an absurd concept!

I have my own wild prediction - the dead characters who have sequels in development will be back. I know it sounds crazy; dead is dead, right? But I just have this feeling that we haven’t seen the last of Spider-Man.
