The show actually correlates with alot of creation myths, mainly Babylonian.
Very Enki and Enlil ish imo.
It's a premise that has been around in shobiz since the terminator, very predictable thats why i never bothered watching.
What got me hooked was the attemp to make the robots conscious and how arnold went about it, made me question exactly what consciousness really is.
I'll watch next season, they've got my attention.
todge next time ur on tv can you blink twice then order 8 waffles to confirm how poor jewlips is
Says the guy that dresses like he's poor...........you were dressing like a bum before kanye made it cool..
Im willing to bet that he owns a few shirts with stains on them..
COME AT ME BRO! DON'T MAKE ME PINCH THAT PTERODACTYL WING YOU CALL ARM FLAB!!!
Really interesting ending and the show as a whole was good. You all more or less nails how sloppy and incoherent it got at times though.
I'm told season 2 is going to feature the samurai world next door.

If you rewatch the last episode they try and escape to the outside world through it.Quote:

The way the writing was in season 2 I'm a litte nervous it could go off the rails.
yeah i remember the samurai stuff.
i share your concerns btw. there is some super loopy rumor mill shit about how anthony hopkins is also in season 2 which could be incredible (he uploaded himself into a godmode robot) or real fucking dumb (dream sequences).
also with all due to the creative elements behind the show, its important to me that they go through considerable pains to explain why the entire US military isnt stomping the shit out of this robot rebellion. like real fast. hopkinsbot could help there, i hope they stick the landing.
For the first time since 1997 (Start of Oz) HBO is in danger of being without a true franchise hit show. I was kind of hoping WW could pick up the slack at the end of GOT based on what I had heard. I'm doubtful this show can pull it off but they will get another 3 months out of me for HBo to go if season two airs after GOT.
If they do go Samuri I wonder if they will have mostly Japanese actors for season 2.
i always thought it was pretty obvious it wasn't really him that got got, but a robot version of himself that he made in the old labQuote:

because one of the reasons it seemed safe to assume it was hopkins up there is that he wasnt interested in continuing to participate in the show after season 1.
The wrong fucking shows.

also dont think robot rebellion gets revealed to anyone outside the park, at least not at first, they prob gonna make robots of the people who got killed and pretend nothing happened

so they are going to explain that to the families of the people shot in the final sequence of s01 how pray tell?
not to mention there are at least two human employees that got clipped that no one seems to be raising alarms about.
also i can totally see this show taking over from got as hbos top dog so long as they dont decide to go full samurai for s2 i dont see that working anywhere near as well
obv the families arent supposed to know that the robot replacements are really robots lol
its kinda dumb but could also work well if they do it right, i mean all the people who got killed were company employees so they should have enough data about them to pull it off
ill have to rewatch but i dont think the dead people were employees at all, i think they were high value clients.
and honestly as much as im enjoying this show, somehow the physics of an undead dragon breathing propane to smash a magical ice wall is easier to believe than the actual premise behind robots being unable to hurt park guests somehow in between firing bullets through walls and shit inches from those guests heads.
yeah im not sure either tbh but no matter if all the people who got shot were employees or clients or a mix i still think hopkins gonna replace them all with robots lol

better than good odds that this pushes back the spring 2018 premier date for season 2.
noteworthy because HBO lives for those spring blockbuster premiers...
So this is fucking nuts... the actor is Zahn McClarnon, aka Hanzee from Fargo.
And apparently he fell and suffered fucking brain trauma.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck...
so I don't have to bother looking, who did he play in WW?Quote:

He'll be back to work next week. Let's not freak out.
I BET HE NEVER EVER COMES BACK AND THE SERIES IS CANCELLED
What have I missed here?Quote:

EXACTLY SOROS PROBABLY NEEDED HIM ON RESERVE TO STAGE A SCHOOL SHOOTING OR SOMETHING.Quote:

Bump for a killer show coming back. April 22.
As usual for awesome tv shows, I was late to the party, but jumped on the bandwagon the last few days. Very cool show, one that I maybe watched a little too fast to fully grasp everything. Will probably donate a good amount of time to reviews and podcasts and theories after I finish the season tonite. Haven't even read this thread yet to avoid spoilers, something I usually don't even care about.
Glad to restart myself.
