Yeah Ep 4 is kind of a turning point for me with this season. It was starting to lose me but that reeled me back in.

And of course, the acting is always amazing.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

Does anybody else wish TWD could make their flashbacks half as good as Westworld?

Shogunworld

Hell, I like it better than Westworld. Very entertaining, although we continue with this ridiculous "Women are stronger and women are in charge" horse shit. Roll Eyes No, you're a fucking automaton which happens to look like a woman. You're a machine.

I've grown awfully fond of Sizemore.

Armistice and her Shogunworld counterpart. What a hoot. Big Grin

I seemingly really enjoyed last nights episode focused on the Native Americans. Ghosts or whatever they called them.

It was kinda a nice story line about them becoming self aware.

Reviving this thread.

Binged S2 this week. As a whole, I enjoyed S1 more, but jumping straight from S1 to S2, it took a bit to re-hook me in.

Looking back, they make a lot of the flashbacks/forwards so seamless that it takes me a minute (or more) to realize what period they're in.

Looking forward to S3.

Dolores, Maeve, Angela, Armistice and even whack-ass Clementine versus Robert Ford, Bernard, William, Sizemore and the sniveling lab tech,
The list goes on and there are minor exceptions, but tell me that you don't see this.


I tend to wait a season or three before I decide to watch a new series, and I recently finished watching West World Season 2... I never opened this thread or read your comments until just now but after just a few episodes it became crystal clear that while the story itself was interesting and entertaining, a decision was made at the Producer or Writer level to give most of the strong, intelligent, decisive, leadership roles to female cast members.

I like the show, and no doubt that there are several noteworthy acting performances, but the blatant PC SJW decision to go "girl power" "girls rule" "girls rock" was painfully obvious. In fact, in some of the cast commentaries some of the female cast and one of the producers (female) even comment on how great it is for them to play these roles and to feature them in this vision of the future...

...as much as I like the show I am so tired and irritated by Hollywood writers constantly trying to 'message' me with me with their virtue signalling influence.

Similar experience for me as well. I enjoyed Season 1 more than Season 2, and was a bit more confused by the plot line and several scenes in S2, although there are some great scenes and episodes in S2 as well.

I've been watching on DVD which has a Special Features section, and I found that the producers' and cast members' comments really helped to fill in some of the basic premises of the storyline that weren't clear to me while watching an episode.

For instance, the show producers and writers wanted to explore the theme of personal data privacy and what might happen if a big tech private corporation bases its business model on obtaining its customer's private data. The other, more obvious, sci-fi tech theme they wanted to explore is artificial intelligence and self-awareness and when, exactly, does "life" begin...as well as what happens when man becomes god or attempts to play God by creating life. What happens to man's morality? What significance and rights does the newly created life form have once it becomes self-aware.

I'd recommend trying to catch some of the producers', writers', and cast members' comments to fill in the gaps either not explained in the episodes or left on the "cutting room floor".
