It Doesn't Look Like Anything to Me, the Westworld Thread

Anyone else watching this on HBO? It's fan-****ing-tastic. I don't think I've ever been this into a series this early before.

 

I've enjoyed it. When the dude last week said "It doesn't look like anything to me" it was pretty awesome. Probably should have see something like that coming, but I didn't.

 

Also, Crichton continues to dominate even from the grave. Might be we don't have a lot of good idea men around these days.

 

Last night's episode was great. More or less confirmed a theory that a friend and I had.

 

Haven't seen it yet. No spoilers.

 

Great show. I have a feeling that next week will be awesome, and the following week will drive us crazy.

 

On the contrary, we don't have any money willing to take risks on something new.

 

Season 1 of True Detective and Mr Robot were very compelling early on as well.

 

I'm not funding your Star Trek/Harry Potter crossover movie either.

 

I'm starting this as soon as I get caught up on Bloodline. Looking forward to it.

 

It is the only thing getting me through the Butch Jones/Trump years of my life. Also the only show I watch live without even DVRing it.

#teamArnold, I think.

 

Hated True Detective but agree about Mr. Robot.

 

I can't get enough of this show. Don't want to talk about it though if people are not caught up with it.

I investigated getting the Westworld "book" -- really a screen play -- from the 1973 movie written by Crichton for my wife. Anyway, cheapest on Amazon is $300 for a worn copy, with mint condition on Ebay going for $800. So much for that Christmas gift idea.

 

On episode 3.

 

I really need to go watch the movie. I've been told there have been a few visual references to them in the show.

 

The movie is quite affordable. Like 4 bucks or something.

 

Crichton specifically said that the story would not work as a book and so he only created a movie. So I would just look into getting the DVD.

 

True, but they did print some bound screenplays to pair with the film in 1973. And those are apparently rare and (now) exceptionally expensive.

 

Rick from Pawn Stars has a semi-hot nerdy rare book gal.
