the smallbox moving picture with sound thread (telly vision)

Post by seathesee » Tue Aug 28, 2018 8:35 pm

what a terrible first thread post im about to make...

i finally signed up for hbo go to collect all those tasty tasty shows ive been letting accumulate while i pay no money to corporate entities for the privilege of viewing them.

i watched westworld season 2 episode 1 last night. holy fucking shit that was a great opener. maybe the best ever. so many scrumptious cliff hangers, so many delicious answers, at least one relatively unappetizing rubber model of anthony hopkins. i really want to read the westworld thread, but i know it will subject me to awful, disgusting, and bitter, bitter spoilers. i am in distress! i must plow through to cling to that fleeting sense of a shared experience, but i must also savor something so delightful. distress!
with love, your good friend, seathesee

did they ever go into how the westworld guns work in season 1. thats feeling like a bit of a plot hole, but i dont want to google it and get spoiled.

like, do they sense theyre shooting at humans and just slow the bullet down? im just not getting how williams daughter shoots the guy shes going to hook up with, then a scene later hes blown away by one of the robots carrying westworld gun.

Nah, though it would be better if part of it were in a subtitle.

There's no danger in that thread title. It's like, ok, I'm getting some anime, a little manga, wouldn't be at all surprised to run into a ninja here or there.

Make thread titles progressively more obnoxious until thread subtitles are instated

also, today I learned

in the opening credits, judah friedlander makes a pointing motion that's timed with a horn sting from the music:

but it wasn't timed that way from the beginning! in the pilot, it's almost a second off, and then for the next four or five episodes, it's a split-second off. by the sixth episode or so, they finally synchronized it.

i finished season 2 of westworld. still have not read the gg thread or the greater spoilerverse. i thought it was entertaining throughout, and i think its doing a good job of telling the story (with some gun shaped holes), and the story is going places that make sense and are at least decently interesting, but im not sure if its the show i want to watch anymore. it seems to be shedding a lot of things that i found really interesting/entertaining and leaving a space i wasnt quite ready to yet. i think maybe i would be happier if season one and first half of season 2 stuff got spread out over 3 seasons and explored a little more.

im just not quite sure how i feel about it yet. maybe a little disappointed, but big picture positive-ish? playing in the park seems way more fun to me than continuing outside of it,i guess, but i see the places the writers have set up for themselves and i still have faith in the product.

I haven't seen season 2 yet but I was kind of disappointed with the end of season 1, because playing in the park is way more fun. Made me not very interested in season 2.
