    Binge watched the first 9 episodes and I have the last one to go. I'm reading this thread for the first time and the above just about wraps up my thoughts.

    Lol i just powered through this show for 11 hours straight on tuesday myself.

    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.

    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.

    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 lab

    at the time, i thought this was unlikely because it was such a hacky plot twist. but its super, super possible hbo was like, as daly mentioned, uhhhh we have _nothing_ on deck, throw money at hopkins until he says yes and claim it was a bot that died on stage.

    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.

    im completely fine with hopkins being involved any way whatsoever as he is great but yeah seems likely to me that if he does indeed come back for s2 it will be have been the robot that got shot and not him

    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.

    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
