I imagine this to be at least 300 years into the future. Given that most scientists believe the date that AI will achieve sentience is some time in this century, I'd say that it's unrealistic for the show to take place three hundred years from now, as the robots in the park have obviously not yet achieved true sentience (but are getting close).

I'm curious about the ghost nation and how the native Americans are portrayed. I hope they are not just antagonists. I've been having an amusing time reading that fake Delos Corporation website. The corporate communiques were hilarious. What those bored employees will get up to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, liking it a lot so far, though I think the first episode was the strongest so far. I've loved every episode but the first is still my favourite as well. I miss the Peter Abernathy host already! He's fantastic! IMDB says he will be back for a few more episodes! I hope soon...fantastic actor...

Loved the look we got last night at Ford's work with the crude early hosts, great backstory. Still love where this series is headed. I liked that some of the hosts in the flashback were those we have seen in the current timeline too (or at least the actors portraying them). Pretty sure one of them was also the woman who introduced William to the Park (confirming that she is a host, and presumably therefore that there's are other hosts on the staff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the difference is that host knew she was one from the conversation she had with William. Maybe they found that the work environment didn't work when humans and hosts were aware of each other? The solution was to have hosts working alongside humans where neither was aware they were hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my take on it too. On an unrelated note I'm excited to hear Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released in fall 2017. Westworld has definitely got me working up an appetite for playing some more of that game. Although I may spare a thought for the potential the NPCs are AI trapped within a game...

Cas Stark Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm on the fence now with the William & his buddy are in the past....his asshole future brother in law does look a lot like Hector...and I'm wondering if Ford's new story is going to be some kind of take on the 'critical failure' of 30 years ago....which probably had something to do with robot uprising/crazy black church buried in the sand...since he did say all great stories are built around the truth. It would be a really, really dark take though for the nice guy to turn into a totally depraved freakazoid robot torturing nut job...so, not convinced, but no longer ruling it out. LOL, now that almost everyone has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mladen Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just heard about GRRM and others talking about GoT/Westworld crossover... Am I the one who thought.. Spoiler the conversation between Anthony Hopkins' character and the guy who presented a new narrative is something that would fit into the mold of honest conversation between GRRM and D&D.

Theda Baratheon Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 lmao yeah ...sad to say but if GRRM really had that much power then the show wouldn't have so many shit moments either. I still watch it though and will watch it until the very end though to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 A GOT Westword crossover is NUTS. N.U.T.S. I am shocked GRRM would have been the one who brought it up and not some dumb ass corporate hack. Bad, bad, bad idea. Bad. Very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cas Stark Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I've really warmed up to the Logan/William are in an earlier timeline theory....also saw the idea that the photo that caused Dolores father to go twitchy is that of William's fiance, which he will leave behind some time in the future once he goes 'fuck all this nice guy stuff'.

Leofric Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 How would that work, just have a flashback of Jon, Dany, and Tyrion showing up as guests at the Delos GOTWorld and being greeted by Anthony Hopkins. Everyone else they meet in GOT is a host? You even have a couple hosts being replaced with different models periodically, the Gregor and the Daario hosts for example.
