I said come in! posted:Is a Season 5 confirmed yet? I kinda hope it isn't, even though I like this show, it really is fine if it ends now. It hasn't been, and it's officially the longest the show's had without renewal news (season 2 confirmed halfway into season 1, season 3 confirmed after two episodes of 2, and season 4 was confirmed a month after season 3 ended even after it was revealed the season averaged half the viewership of season 2), so my guess is it's done

On the one had I would like to see whatever the hell they quote unquote intended, on the other I would be pretty salty if this got renewed and raised by wolves didn’t.

The only chance this had of renewal, was a cliffhanger that made people hit twitter with a #savewestworld campaign. It'll quietly be "not renewed" in one of those list-dumps of tedious procedurals being re-announced. Law & Order Anchorage: renewed season 12 NCIS Wilmington: renewed season 31 Westworld: not renewed CSI Wichita: renewed season 23

I always get them mixed up, Don Johnson is the star of CSI Wichita but his character was introduced in NCIS Wilmington as a temporary replacement for Jan-Michael Vincent's lead, right?

I skipped out on season 4 Did the show get good again or was it more of season 3?

Their plan was to gently caress with the humans.

Captain Splendid posted:I skipped out on season 4 There were fans online (and even here) saying that they thought season 4 was good as the season started. I don't know what they're talking about, since I recognized it as poo poo the whole way through. It's a very slight improvement over season 3.

That one Battlestar Galactica movie directed by Edward James Olmos is great because there’s a scene with a bunch of nudity and he insisted that there be a zoom-in on a dude’s dick.

Lister posted:All religion is untrue. But yeah, someone can find something to relate to in a religious text that can be meaningful to them. It would just have more meaning if it were real. The people who think it is real then allow themselves to be bound by it and all the rules and traditions that come with it. This is actually a really lovely thing to say about people who believe. e: I AM GRANDO posted:Most of the religious people I know don’t believe in supernatural things and participate in their religion because they like the ideas, community, and ritual. There is something to be said for participating in a tradition that gives you meaning and binds you to others in the face of long-lasting hostility. They are mostly not christians, I suppose, though I know quakers and methodists who are like that as well. yeah i know there are a lot of religious people who don't believe or whatever, but to open up a post with "all religion is untrue" really rubs me the wrong way, especially as someone who is converting to a religion and does sincerely believe in a good bit of the supernatural bits aBagorn fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Sep 24, 2022 |

I just finished watching S4 and I already don't understand what happened. Is there a tl;dr of the season? Are all the humans dead except for the refugees in the desert? what was the point of opening the door and closing it and how does that even work?

Are all the humans dead except for the refugees in the desert? what was the point of opening the door and closing it and how does that even work? S4 tl;dr: Hale took over the park and reopened it to capture more data on humans to make the scans faster, then used the data to make a black ooze to mind control humans. Sets humans up in cities and uses Delores to pump out crappy fanfic stories for them to follow along to as programming. Tortures Aaron Paul by sticking him the world's worst Groundhog's Day loop and kills Maeve for a while. Meanwhile, Bernard has been running Mar I/O in parallel to figure out how to stop Hale and gets magic powers to be able to see the future. 10900 iterations later, he's solved the problem of humans and hosts going extinct by setting up everything to have Man in Black-bot kill all the humans by turning on chaos mode and dies along with Maeve (again). Delores takes the red pill and sort of breaks out of the Matrix for a few minutes and gets to narrate over the end credits to try and be cryptic to get people to want season 5. Also, Man in Black-bot calls a kid a loving camper and that was the high point of the season.

Also, no main characters are still alive other than Aaron Paul’s daughter and some proportion of her friends. Dolores is alive in the sense that she has been uploaded to the cloud. And no other humans or hosts are alive either, unless there were other areas of human resistance like that desert base.

Honestly if they could keep the robot/human/AI story intriguing I don't really care if they explain any of that stuff. Humans suck and blew each other up and left the world smaller and the rich had more tech to maintain control. Great.

I thought the season was mostly good. The middle is the strongest part when it's the adventures of Caleb and Maeve. But that final episode is really not satisfying at all so just stains the whole season. I wouldn't recommend watching if you're on the fence.

Why did Hale suicide at the end? I would have figured she’d either build more robbits to repopulate the world or if she gave up on that idea, at least continue to live on taking care of the server farm to protect the matrix

Because she didn't care anymore. The hosts didn't want to do her ascension thing, her big project failed. What was the point?

I finished watching it recently and I think I'd have to go back and binge the entire series to understand what was happening. I had forgotten basic stuff like that Hale is a version of Dolores.

Collapsing Farts posted:Why did Hale suicide at the end? My entirely speculative interpretation is that the writers knew the show wasn't going to get renewed by the time the last episode came around, and so everyone got killed off. I've known at least two shows to do this; the second-to-last episode allows the final episode to go in at least two directions. It was the same in this case; as mentioned by a few others the last episode was were the Major Mortalities went down.

I had forgotten basic stuff like that Hale is a version of Dolores. Yeah, the real Hale is long dead, she was killed in season 2. Replaced by Dolores, or more specifically replaced by the worst aspects and darker side of Dolores only, which ended up being a terrible combination when seperated from all of the best of Dolores. The story ends up being really tragic because Deloroes sacrifices herself literally and gives up on every part of herself to create a world where hosts can be free, and ends up getting nothing, now everyone on earth is dead.

Thank you for the explanation, but...the idea that you can take a Dolores, turn down the Nice Meter, and flip on Darkside Mode is contrary to the themes of the series, isn't it?

Yes, the show changed directions completely after season 2 and became something entirely different. I didn't hate it, but it was a bit disappointing how all of the characters from season 1 and 2 turned into entirely different people.

I mean they literally have these personality control points so it’s within the universe at least. The themes of the series are largely intangible and unimportant in presentation, which is part of the problem.

Sort of, but they don't really work, do they? The people who build the Hosts know that their personality development is something of a black box. They can't even be sure that the Hosts are turned off when they're turned off.

One of the things about the hosts is that their settings and emotions are alterable, but they're still real to the host. even if they know that they're a construct. Maeve knows that her "daughter" is nothing of the kind, just a smaller model of robot that she's been programmed to love, but decides that she still matters to her. EDIT: Awakened hosts aren't really "free" from their programming, just aware of it and able to act against it. But it's still their core.
