Westworld

I'm definitely considering a rewatch.

Even if I just fast forward to the Arnold/Bernard - Dolores scenes. These interest me the most as I think they have the most potential for gold nuggets.
 
Great last four or five episodes for Westworld. I enjoyed the first half of the season too, though there was sometimes a lot of conversation with little progress. Brilliant season overall. Very interesting ideas on consciousness.

So in the finale Maeve got off the train. Did Felix give the note about her backstory daughter to her to make sure she didn't leave? Almost like a test. She wasn't quite far enough in her development to make that last move. Arnold wanted her out but she couldn't make it yet. Though maybe just as well for her as what would she do in the real world.

As for Ford it appears that the native Indian rebellion at the end was his last storyline. Though why did he need to change the landscape of a lot of the park? His workers uncovered the graveyard with the maze toy but there must have been more to it. Maybe just other old scenes revealed. It seems though Ford claimed Arnold was the one interested in consciousness that actually Ford in the end was encouraging it. He gave Dolores the gun to kill him with. But then again is she just following his hints and instructions? Also with the rebellion were they just doing what he programmed? It seems so. They weren't consciously deciding to kill the board and other partygoers. They were programmed to at just the right time to wipe out Ford's detractors. He perhaps knew he couldn't keep his control going much longer.

A Samurai world story could be great fun. Though it will be tough to write as compelling a story with so many mysteries being explained in season 1.

If Maeve was programmed to try and escape but then get off the train at the last moment it makes me wonder what the point of her storyline was. The rebellion/night storyline within Westworld already demonstrates the potential dangers of the hosts.
 
I'll be interested to see if they branch out into the other sections of the Park like Samurai World or Future World.
 
Wouldn't military enter the park after the robots started killing people?

After the season two teaser trailer debuted during the Super Bowl on Sunday, a user on Reddit discovered a well-hidden link for a website called Delos Destinations. The site lauds “the luxury resort, redefined” and reveals a slideshow depicting six parks that exist or are currently in development. This matches a major hint given at the end of season one, when Maeve (Thandie Newton) is given a location for her in-world daughter, located in “Park 1, Sector 15, Zone 3. ”

I knew this was Nolan's production, but was JJA in the producer list from the beginning?

More bang for the buck to include JJ's name. He makes some good stuff. This poster is definitely the most eye-catching TV poster I've ever seen. And why not? It's got two bonafide movie nerds behind this show.
