WESTWORLD IS BACK

[rickdrat]

And as a side note to my side note, episode 01 is titled The Original. This may support the theory that the more mechanical objects we've seen represent 1st gen tech that is being replaced by the 3d printed figures. Perhaps even tying into the original film story line and we're picking up with Delos totally re imagining the park from the ground up.

So how was it???

Couldn't watch it tonight, will tomorrow, but glad I'm still early enough to ask: does anyone else just find it surreal that we now have an X-rated "Westworld" TV series on HBO?

I mean, really! I started renting movies by myself when I hit adolescence specifically to watch the original "Westworld"; and I remember still shots of the open panel scene from that cruddy "Beyond Westworld" series as one of my earliest turn ons. Now there's this. Ten-year old me wouldn't even be able to process it.

I agree. You must be around the same age as I am, because I was doing the same thing back in the day! Westworld is still my #1 movie as far as being the "total package" as far as fembot action. (Which is kind of sad since it's been 43 years.) To me, it really is very strange to hear anyone even mention it outside of here. Even though it might not be what we are looking for as far as the original, I believe this is going to spark a huge fire.

Episode one is currently streaming FOR FREE on HBO.com. Get it while you can if you can.

[rickdrat]

This is discrimination against Canadians, eh?

We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country three months after the U.S. release and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customer's use or by creating uncertainty.

Here's a direct, working, torrent link:

(copy and paste the entire line)
I strongly suggest using Deluge to download torrents safely. If your ISP frowns upon your torrent usage, I suggest using a reliable VPN service, or if you're out of money you can try a free VPN service, although it will suck the 500MB you're allowed per month either watching or downloading just one episode

EDIT: Mods, feel free to delete/edit this post if any of the links I posted goes against the rules. If we have censored, monitored, zero privacy-enabled internet communications in the 21st century, I think it's fair that the least we should ask for is globalized, universal video/audio services

decommissioned droids (s1ep1 1.06.04)

[rickdrat]

I assume the gent in front is from the as yet unseen 70's Pornoworld park.

I saw the premier, and I was not exactly blown away, BUT I was pretty pleased with it. I think the show seems super promising at this point.

SPOILERS BELOW-------------

One thing I thought was really cool about the show, was that they seem to be strongly hinting at the possibility that it is actually a SEQUEL to the original movie. The "30 Years since the last critical failure" references, and the fact that the cold storage where they house the decommissioned androids seems to be in the old DELOS lobby (that may have gone to shit right after the events of the original Westworld) has everyone on the Internet thinking the original Westworld movie may actually be part of this shows cannon.

Daphne is from the original movie, so the likelyhood is very high.

Episode 2 is streaming from HBO today.

I just read that at The Verge. Seems like HBO released the episode online early to avoid losing viewers to this Sunday's presidential debate.

Good news: This means my Friday night is set to "HBO Go & Chill"

(Not Really) Bad news: Getting "the vapors" while watching it with my girlfriend, all the while trying to avoid discussing anything related to ASFR. "It's all you, Honey. This has absolutely nothing to do with the Android prostitute glitching out on the screen. I swear".

HBO has posted another "making of " video on Facebook. In the middle of the clip there are new scenes that definitively show the mechanical nature of at least some of the hosts. No females, sorry. Still find the discrepancy between these and the 3d printed skeletons interesting.

Only thing I can think of is generations. Meaning, the older Hosts are more mechanical, whereas the latest and greatest models are 3D Printed.

After watching the first two episodes, I'm fairly convinced there will be flashback episodes, or at least extended scenes, that will fill in certain characters back stories. Through these we'll learn the history of Delos, the park, and the evolution of the technology that makes it all possible.

She also played plain jane Mary Bennet in the '05 Pride and Prejudice. Spent half her scenes wondering what I recognized her from, and then had an "oh shit, really?" moment.

There's a theory floating around elsewhere that we've already seen flashbacks. As in, William is Ed Harris.

Elon married a fembot? That dude is even cooler now!

This explains a lot about his "the dangers of AI" speeches...

Holy shit... That theory fits in nicely with another Theory that I read, whish posits the very real possibility that Ed Harris' man in black is actually The Richard Benjamin character in the original Westworld movie. Meaning that he was there for the first time the robots ran amok (the previous "critical failure"), and that as part of What I imagine must've been a sizeable settlement from the Corp. that ran Delos, he was given a lifetime pass to Delos with free reign to terrorize as many androids as he wanted.

Even though there's not a large amount of exposed mechanics, I'm still pretty hooked on all the meta-textual layers the story seems to have.

[Trace Venom]

I remember the Head of Security being told something by an operations guy, to the effect that The Man in Black was laying waste to too many androids that day, asking whether or not they should do something to slow down his murder spree, and I remember the Head of Security responding with "Nah. That man can get anything he wants".

This means he's either the Richard Benjamin analogue I mentioned (likely) or Dr. Ford's former partner (less likely)
