Fragile Bird Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 18 minutes ago, JGP said: Former military operator, some PTSD, but direction and acting have gone off angle compared to most characters with that background. Caleb's restraint, doesn't puff his chest, capable but doesn't broadcast overmuch, that also works for me. I liked the scene from the final episode last season where Dolores was one of the “rescued” women in the military operation and one of the soldiers thought they should be just like the rich dudes and have their way with them. He said no, we’re not like them, and let’s face it, Dolores fell in love. JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psynetik123 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) So Bernard is the Kwisatz Haderach. Can this show possibly get any fucking dumber? Edited July 11, 2022 by psynetik123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 So far, this season feels like an improvement over season 3, but then I am very firmly in the camp that 3 was the weakest season. Still not feeling Caleb, but I guess at this point, it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalnestk Oblast Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Come on, the instrumental version of Enter Sandman was fucking awesome The Mance, Nictarion and JGP 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Might sour depending on the landing, but I love this show. Now it'll get scattered for a bit as it pulls the others together, which might suck as they're picking up steam. I'm curious about what's making Caleb so special. Maybe new Dolores is writing him, and Dolores Prime knows it. No fucking idea. Will the Billiams figure out how to rebel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 So apparently Bernard and Stubbs took the Mad Max version of genre. JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Please don't have the weapon be the macguffin, just Bernard ruthlessly tripped out on probabilities. He had zero compunction against instigating and killing two men to ride the line. This season might need a lot of episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that for the most part things are often the same with some flourishes. There are new neat cars and old shitwagons. There are still regular guns and other things that just work. It's a great weird awesome vision. JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Agree completely. And honestly, it's also kind of hard to fathom how it hasn't been cancelled yet. HBO is defying their usual metrics there maybe. If it ends up being some war of stories for the minds of remnant humanity, I might chuck a remote though.

Ran Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I admit, when I saw that woman's car and then later saw her buddies in the Contaminated Lands, it reminded me a lot of the Nomads in the Badlands in Cyberpunk 2077. Heh. I liked the episode, particularly the look at another iteration of the park story, or the fact that they've gone ahead and actually turned the "Westworld Massacre" into its own storyline. Fun. Finally, as to whether Bernard is in the Sublime still, I don't think so. I think his timeline in the real is now more-or-less matched to Maeve, Caleb, William, and Halores, and no doubt they'll be crossing paths in an episode or two. Then in the Sublime we have "not Dolores", who we took a break from, but I'm guessing we're going to see her story centered next episode. I did like Bernard seeing that tower as he approached the place where Akecheta was. Are we to take it "not Dolores" is just exploring one of the infinite worlds they can create to their liking, but some damage or flaw in her is corrupting it and making it break down? Which I suspect may end up threatening the entirety of the Sublime, which may in turn impact the fate of humanity that Bernard is trying to resolve.

DMC Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Bernard and Stubbs still being in the sublime would be the type of "twist" that just pisses viewers off a la season two. I do like the idea that Bernard is basically a mobile Rehoboam now, and they're clearly having fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.H. Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I figured Caleb was a major character from now on. I'd imagine they'd contrive some way to save him, to get that "reunite with his wife and kid" moment to close the season. I guess they could go a different way with that, but I am not sure I'd want to bet on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
