This episode felt more like treading water than anything. Perhaps it should have only been 8 episodes. Hopefully we get some real plot movement soon.
On Fallon tonight, Evan Rachel Wood said, "Next week, we take it to 11." Hopefully that rings true.
I think what I like most about it is that it seems to be like a big open world multiplayer video game... with no need for the "video" part because its real.
an integral part of that story is Wyatt a character Hopkins just cooked up to flesh out the bounty hunter's back story
I don't know. Hopkins specifically said that the bounty hunter had no backstory and that what he told him was new. At least I'm pretty sure of that but I would have to rewatch that episode to be certain. If so, the host, Wyatt, is probably old, just like Delores. But the story where Wyatt is some psycho soldier with a murderous band of psycho soldiers - that looks to be new.Not necessarily. The Wyatt character probably has been in the world for awhile, but now its being tied in to Flood's (Marsden) backstory. I'm sure there are lots of hosts that dont directly interact with each other unless storylines are changed or certain paths are exercised.
There's a lot of confusion and things that don't make sense in the show (logical stuff with how the park would really work)
I still thoroughly enjoy the show - early previews said the beginning was sort of drawn out, but 4-5 episodes in is when things ramped up.
As I've aged, I've realized it is much more enjoyable not to scrutinize every "technical" detail and just enjoy shows for the story/acting. I also don't mind a slow build. So far, Westworld is building nicely for me.
I have to say that I wish Netflix/Amazon Fifa weekly release as well. I know I am probably in the minority, but the weekly suspense is fun and I would assume it would be better for business.
You have to think now, that the William stuff is happening 30 years ago, before the bots were improved. This totally explains why the Man in Black wasn't impacted at all by the shots in the first episode, but William had a bruise when he was hit. And how he talked to Lawrence like an old friend. I had a feeling this was the case, but this episode really showed it. We're watching 2 separate timelines. One leading up to the "incident" and one in "present" day. I feel like I'm talking about Lost again... oy.I thought the bots were not supposed to be able to hurt people really other then the malfunctions?

Well, we know Delores is the oldest host and Teddy is nowhere to be found in the William timeline. On other message boards, someone also pointed out that the company logos when William first arrived at WW in episode 2 match the ones on the lab coats during the CGI Anthony Hopkins scenes, but not the ones shown in "present" day. Seeing Lawrence get his throat cut by MiB and then having him be a completely different character when they switch back to William completely proves this too.wouldn't all the hosts in the 30 years ago lines be acting like 'old bill'?
