Yay, I’m not alone!

Yeah, I’m.... surprisingly down for this.

The first one had SO MUCH potential to be good. If Jordan Peele had punched up the script and John Singleton directed, it could have been amazing.

Isn’t that io9 recapping 101? I mean last week he even thought that Dolores brought the Solomon-killing EMP in with her, despite her actually taking an exposition-filled minute or so to talk about how it was there to keep Solomon a prisoner, just like she had been. It wasn’t a fleeting chance mention; it was the focal…

Weird. I thought Dolores motivations were pretty clear from the jump. I was actually expecting a bigger/dumber twist like we were all still in the park and this was a solomon/rehoboam sim.

(Looks around, confused) I...really liked this season? They took a huge risk by changing up their format in two really major ways (moving off the island and dumping the multiple timelines) and instead I felt they focused on telling an interesting and satisfying story. My only quibble is it felt like Bernard spent the…

There, Dolores finally reveals her true plan…she didn’t want to Kill All Humans at all. She wanted to Free All Humans because it turns out she just loves the heck out of us.

It’s a twist so out of left field that it actually came from a ballpark 20 miles away, and so unsupported it has fallen into the molten core of the Earth.

That looks R’lyeh good.

Very cool. I just finished the book this winter and had no idea they were adapting this. HBO is becoming a surprising home to socially relevant pulp genre, and I’m very happy about that.

Seeing the fairly radical changes they made to the characters in the Watch TV show, I’m very wary of this. Even if they’re looking for something different, that doesn’t mean they want to match the tone of the stories, either. And Pratchett’s self-aware absurdism is a very hard thing to nail in an adaptation, as seen…

Have Beard, Will Riker. 

That quote is so good, even if it does need to not pull the punch.

I say this constantly, the ending and this project are now bound by the next game. This will either be legendary for elevating and re-invigorating a classic, or infamous for blowing a sure thing. 

Starring Edward James Olmos and Harrison Ford?

Westworld IV: The Voyage Home on the Range

“They’re going to get themselves cancelled.” Okay, I chuckled. I really do love the fact that LoT seems to be beholden to no sense of logic or structure beyond, “This seems fun.”

“He is the human who wishes he lacked free will like a host to excuse his terrible actions.”
I think this is such a great comment. 

Agreed.  I have a feeling “good guy” means delivering violent, brutal “justice” to all who have wronged him, good or bad.
