Westworld

So what the hell happened in this weeks episode? Gotta re watch it...

Yeah, no doubt

The shifts in the timeline make it very hard to follow.

The ending of S2/E1 with all the dead hosts must be in the future (distant?).

Seriously - one of the most complicated hours of television I've ever tried to watch. Through episode 3 in season 1 - will take me about a week to catch up.
 
we are seeing at least 3 timelines to open the season. Possibly 4.
 
Im pretty sure the opening scene this season with Bernard and Delores, was actually the real Arnold and Delores from the get go.

An easy (but not fool proof) way to know time shifts is Delores' clothes. Blue Dress always past.

The end was a huge leap forward in time?

are there any other visual cues you've noticed for figuring out where in the timeline we are? To be honest I'm having a lot of trouble following this show, I want to like it but keep getting lost.

I don't mind a show making me think, but Westworld is starting to feel like homework.

I think we may all end up agreeing with you.
They may end up getting too cute with the time line swerves.

Just caught up on this show. Loved season 1. Using Radiohead’s Exit Music for a Film in the season finale’s final scene was great.

With that said, after watching the season 2 premiere, it’s going to be interesting to see how they keep this going. I loved the build up in season one, learning how the world worked, and figuring out the mystery. With season 2, the mystery is gone and it seems like we’re just left with robots fighting humans. It didn’t capture me as much, at least initially.

it will be more than that I suspect - it'll be more like the reboot Battlestar Galactica where we are discovering what makes the "soul" of a machine that's evolving into something more than a machine.

Yeah, early in the episode when it showed Bernard spazzing out and asking "Is it now?" showed that he was kind of remembering things out of order ...it went from him being washed up on the beach back to right after the end of S1 trapped in the barn, and it seems like they're gonna keep those two timelines going for a little bit.
 
Do we do spoiler tags on fan theory's here? I came across an interesting one earlier today

I think it's all the customer data. DNA and video maybe used to blackmail them or create copies

Yah on the 3rd watching of S2E1 I started thinking in that direction...

It seems like they're trying to make a statement about Facebook/Google/etc. I thought it was subtle until tonight
 
Episode 2 - is it me or have they hit the turbo with the story pacing? I never realized that William was the same thing as Delos Corp, so he was always the boss of Robert Ford (and Arnold?). What is that big pit in the ground at the end? (the weapon)
 
Delores is pretty hot but man am I getting sick of hearing “Teddy”.

The weapon is still a mystery. We found out about William when it was revealed that he is the young Man in Black.
 
Good summary on Youtube each week here. S2 doesn't have the same intrigue as the first.
