We've had a couple preliminary threads on this show over the past year or so, but with the official debut of the pilot now less than two weeks away - and the release of a cool new featurette this past weekend (embedded below) - I figured it was time to get an official show thread going. Word is the first two episodes are outstanding (apparently that's all HBO has let critics see so far), and we know that the show's creators have a five-season arc planned, should it be successful enough to last that long. HBO needs a Game of Thrones successor - something to take over as their flagship series come 2018/2019 - and they're hoping this is it. Time will tell, but for now, all I know is that I can't wait for October 2nd...

The featurette is a behind the scenes? Or is it viral stuff from the world (ala the marketing for Prometheus)?

What is the premise behind this show? I'm a little confused. Is it a matrix situation or what is going on?

It's Jurassic Park, but with robots in an Old West theme park instead of dinosaurs in a zoo.

Watch the featurette I posted in the OP. It's not a Matrix situation. Think Jurassic Park for adults, except instead of dinosaurs it's A.I. life-like "human" robots. A theme park where adults can go to basically have orgies with and "kill" the robots in a wild west setting. And just like the dinosaurs in JP began to wreak havoc, the robots start to become aware of their situation and fight back.

So when it shows the people in white (looks like plastic) that is the creator fabricating the robots?

To put that in perspective.....this was just seven months after Abrams was confirmed as the director of Episode VII.

Still, really hoping it resonates in different ways and/or gets better.

Written and directed by Crichton. It was his first foray into films and followed his pretty typical written theme of a computer system gone haywire, trapping people. Most of his books follow that premise. There was West World, Medieval World and Roman World in the movie. He was nominated for a Hugo for the written work.

I was thinking about that the other day, wondering if the other "worlds" will come into play in future seasons.

I would expect so, assuming this makes it past season 1. IIRC, Roman World had orgies
