Westworld

[OhMrsQ]

Has anyone seen the first episode?

Bloody hell.

Amazing.

I can't wait for next week

[PikachuSayBoo]

I'm looking forward to this. Was it on last night? Missed it.

Have set series record for showings on Tues nights.

[ReggaeShark]

Eh? Thought it started tomorrow?

[LineyReborn]

When what where??

[Middleoftheroad]

I'm going to watch this later. Can't wait - though those are some big Brenner cowboy boots to fill.

Yee-ha!

[OhMrsQ]

Oh, sorry! I'm in America. We got it last night, its a new Sunday night thing to take the place of Game of THrones

[PikachuSayBoo]

Afaik it's on Sky Atlantic tomorrow night.

[BifsWif]

What did everyone think? I loved it!

[TheHiphopopotamus]

I thought it was good too. Intrigued as to where they are going to take it for a full series though (and maybe beyond).

Has anyone seen the original film at all?

[BifsWif]

It's been passed for 5 series so far, so I'm interested to see where it goes too. I haven't seen the original film.

[schbittery]

I liked it too - though bit derivative these days. Some are not what they seem right?

[Jasonandyawegunorts]

Wait... is this a series based on the Scifi robot theme park movie?

[melibu84]

I loved it. Really excited to see how the story will develop, and the sound track was really good too!

If you haven't seen the original film, it's worth a look as well :)

[TheHiphopopotamus]

Yes, it's based on the film. There's a bloke in the original that looks so much like Christian Bale, I had to check it wasn't his dad.

In the first ep, they referred to an 'incident' 30 yrs ago, so not sure if it's events in the film that they were referencing or something else? Also, so far, there's no sign of Roman World or Medieval World.

I honestly don't know how they're going to string it out over a series I really hope they can keep the quality up.

[Jasonandyawegunorts]

It's a shame i don't have sky atlantic.

There was another movie made called Futureworld which was supposed to be a sequal but wasn't very good.

[TheHiphopopotamus]

It was only when I rewatched the film recently, that I realised it was written and directed by Michael Crichton.

He loves the idea of these futuristic theme parks spiralling into disaster, doesn't he?

[AvocadoLemon]

We are watching it tonight. Quick question - is it suitable viewing for a 12 you boy do you think?

[TheHiphopopotamus]

I wouldn't let my 12 yr old watch it, I don't think. There's a fair bit of gore and violence in it.

[OhMrsQ]

I wonder if the series will eventually pan out to show all the 'worlds' clients pay to go in. Medievalworld, romanworld, etc. Which could also be the 5 series thing too.

[PikachuSayBoo]

I was confused at times about who were the robots and who were the guests.

The bloke who went to the farmstead and was involved in murdering the mother and father I am guessing he was a guest because he couldn't be shot? So was everyone else in the scene who did die they were all robots?

And then in the shootouts in town everyone getting killed they were all robots?

[SerJorahsSecondChoice]

Basically yes, Pikachu.

Can anyone tell me the name of the music in the end shootout scene? I recognise it but can't think where it was from.

Bloody loved it!

[TheHiphopopotamus]

Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones serjorah

[youngestisapsycho]

I'm completely confused!

[Chippednailvarnishing]

I couldn't get the subtitles to work so I really struggled to watch this

[MrsArchchancellorRidcully]

At the end, the guy in black has cut the scalp off one of the hosts. Why did that not register back at HQ? Seemed a bit convenient to me.

Other than that it was OK, but I can't see how they'll string it out over 5 series.
