Did Sunday need to be taken out though? It just seemed like such an arbitrary move to take out a person who had less than zero chance of actually winning the game, in favor of keeping in guys like Adam, David, and Jay, all of whom have cases to make, should they make it to the end.

Production probably realized they needed to pick up the pace, since they're nearing the end, and they have too many people left due to the lack of medical evacuations and quitters.

Poor Sunday was barely even a part of this season.

At the time I wrote it, there were a couple comments to the effect of, "Garbage review from a garbage writer" or "someone fire this guy and give me the job." The comments rarely ever call him out by name. Similar comments were found in previous reviews too, although I can't remember which ones, off-hand. Either way,

*Looks at pointillism painting*

Park turnover is probably the best explanation.

One plot thing that's been bugging me. But why did no one, over all the time Bernard worked at Westworld, recognize that he's a dead ringer for the guy who helped build the park?

I wish I could come to the comments one of these days and not see Handlen catching shit for having an opinion. I don't always agree with his reviews, but I enjoy reading them, and I can separate my opinions from his and accept that it's in no way the definitive judgment on a show I like. From how some people react,

Same, although I hope Tessa Thompson also returns, albeit for selfish reasons (namely that she's an utterly beguiling human being).

I think Jonathan Nolan said it's supposed to be the 21st century, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's late in the century.

This series could run for [insert Showtime-sized number] seasons just focusing on different worlds run by Delos. Then, by Season 10, they could finally arrive at OurworldWorld, complete with memories of a bygone era, like Smash Mouth and CD-based internet trials!

Trying to figure out the geography of Westworld is almost as maddening as trying to piece together how Columbia works in Bioshock Infinite.

Even though "Exit Music (For A Film)" is a great song and sounded fabulous here, it felt a bit on the nose, honestly. That said, I'm not sure what I would have put in its place, so it's kind of a silly thing for me to even take issue with in what was a pretty great finale.

Did the William = MIB reveal not really work for anyone else, in the sense that you couldn't buy that they were supposed to be the same character, 35 years apart?

Which is still kind of a shitty thing to do, even if her grief is perfectly understandable. Daryl throwing that punch and Glenn getting Lucilled for it essentially shows that acting out against Negan doesn't necessarily guarantee the punishment is going to come down on your own head. If Eugene makes her bullets, he's

I can't hear "Exit Music (For A Film)" and not think of the "Shut Up And Dance" episode of Black Mirror.

Hmmm, interesting read. I like this better.

For me, it's not that Simon Quarterman does a lousy job as Sizemore, so much as Sizemore is simply a lousy character who sucks the momentum of an episode bone dry every time he shows up on screen.

I was a big proponent of William and MIB being the same person early on in the season, but that was contingent upon the writers finding a way to make the change work, which I'm not entirely sure they did.
