Got an email from "Delos" alerting me to check out Ford's new narrative on the site and letting me know that it's already booked for the next six months/etc. and also to click on a link to get POP toys of Westworld characters. The site seems unchanged except for "Ford's New Narrative" being on the map and pulsating. Are they going to drop some season two info on it before SDCC or something?

It's going to be at least a year. I don't think they're even filming yet.

Of course, but it's going to be HBO's big panel at SDCC in a few weeks instead of Game of Thrones so I'm assuming they have some kind of key art/or a teaser or something.

They've dropped a teaser gif on the Discover Westworld website.

Using Google DNS since forever. It's a redirect on the site itself.

Carbon dioxide posted:Calling that "Journey into Night" is gonna be the name of Season 2. Apparently it's the name of the first episode. (in case anyone forgot, "Journey into Night" is what Ford called his new narrative.) I'm speculating that the gif means that, at the beginning of season 2, the public is not yet aware of the massacre that happened.

If I recall correctly, didn't Ford repeatedly, vehemently insist that the hosts weren't sentient, before giving a speech scolding people for mistreating the hosts right before unleashing an army of homocidal hosts on them? If so, dick move bro.

It'd be difficult to argue that chickens are sentient per se but easy to still be against keeping egg-layers in 1 square foot cages and debeaking them, and to be judgmental of people who have no problem buying eggs from companies that practice this behavior.

Ford's best buddy is a very sentient host, many of his conversations about host sentience are with a host. He simply cannot be taken at face value. In the finale he makes it clear that he just doesn't make this distinction, there is no intangible soul, you are as human as you seem to be and under that metric hosts are humans and the guests and management are largely monsters.

Where I suppose I disagree with Ford is that to me, intent matters re:monstrous guests. I don't give a rat's rear end about npc #4517 I killed in If they do realize this and still continue with "playing" the rapist/bandit/..., then it becomes a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

Ford is a crazy man also. The whole situation about the board trying to cut him out escalated in such a way that he chose the robots over all the people in the park. But mass murder is still mass murder

Did some of you not watch the same show as me? Ford did not believe the Hosts were sentient; Arnold did. When Arnold died Ford came around and came to believe they were sentient, but he knew if that was revealed his new Delos investors would shut him down and kill all the Hosts. So for decades he played a long game, loudly decring to anyone who would listen that the hosts were just machines, while secretly planning a way to liberate them and bring them to self-awareness. His twisted reason for condoning the cruel treatment of the Hosts was to toughen them up to fight the Robot Revolution and learn to hate humans by seeing humans' worst traits. He literally says this. He also was pushing them to Kill All Humans because he believed they were destined to replace humanity on Earth, and humans were so evil they didn't deserve to live anyway. Ford basically believes he's God and these are his children.

He despises the evil depraved humans so much he wants his robots to kill them all, but his creations are far too nice for this job. So he forces them to be as despicable as humans. That way they will hate the humans enough to kill them.  All because his dad was

Is anybody else worried that season 2 isn't going to be able to live up to season 1. I am constantly disappointed with shows because they can never seem to up their game in the second season.

My problem is that I don't have any friends who watch Westworld, but every plot twist was so meticulously laid out weeks beforehand that I feel like if I want to enjoy this season as a viewer I have no choice but to fly blind and consume it without reading a hundred pages of "TWO TIMELINES IS THE DUMBEST poo poo IVE EVER HEA- WHEEEEEEEEELP". With Anthony Hopkins dead, and Bernard some kind of generalismo, it will clearly fall to Ed Harris to do the heavy lifting. According to Jimmy Smitts twitter he and Evan Rachel Wood are BFFs now but he hasn't been contacted about reprising his role so that storyline is definitely over. Also it's crazy that Dolores almost caused the evil corporate bitch lady to not exist by seducing her dad like 30 years ago. I hope that comes up and that Dolores/Wyatt is not above constantly holding it over MiB's head that they use to be in love, that he hosed a robot and it almost drove him completely insane, etc. that's is the most important plot thread to me.

I really enjoyed being surprised by the twists in this show. I'm to the point where I don't even really like reading supposedly spoiler free stuff anymore until breaks between seasons. I enjoy discussing shows and stuff but it's too easy for some jackass that viewed leaked stuff to post it as his fan theory. I hate fan theory culture.

Fandom in general is pretty bad. Also worrying about spoilers when there is so much media to consume that you will never ever be caught up, but being a dick and spoiling is also pretty bad so those two cancel each other out.
