This "immortality project" part of the Delos business also has the potential to go into "The Prestige" or "Teleporters in Star Trek are suicide boxes" philosophical territory for me

MiB as a host is a terrible idea.
The who's a robot who's not bernarnold thing was a great part of season one. Doing it again is not a good idea.

So I'm assuming now that William has met up with his daughter he is going to be forced to go full white hat, right?
For some reason I don't think his daughter is a white hat....
Yeah, for some reason I'm expecting some real anti-hero type stuff out of the two of them.
I'm also expecting one hell of a gun fight too.

That was pretty amazing TV. The first scene in the apartment felt exactly like when we met Desmond on Lost.

I always forget that this is an Abrams/Bad Robot production. So cool.
Again though, I think that's potentially the point here.free_mhayden said:

I never watched Lost, but got the gist of how that series went from friends and reading things here and there. I do wonder if WW will be like Lost in that there could be a whole bunch of curious stuff thrown in that never really gets explained or resolved.
I believe in interviews he has said he likes to answer the questions that arise before the season is over and that it's not his style to leave big questions unanswered between seasons.Complete Idiot said:

LOST was really more of Carlton Cuse's and Damon Lindelof's show than Abrams. Abrams was the big name and helped it get started, but Cuse and Lindelof were the show runners throughout.Teddy Perkins said:I believe in interviews he has said he likes to answer the questions that arise before the season is over and that it's not his style to leave big questions unanswered between seasons.Complete Idiot said:

We'll see. I think as of today I'm like 75/25 against the MIB being a clone, but I still love a good wild theory when I hear one that fits (most of...) the evidence and the themes of the show.
Agreed.Prophet00 said:

It's a bit worrisome that the viewership doesn't seem to be growing at all.
GoT started out averaging ~2.5 million per episode in the first season, and by this time in Season 2 was almost up to 4 million viewers.
Westworld ratings have actually dropped this season, with last episode getting only 1.59 million viewers.
Are these numbers good enough? With such a big budget, I doubt HBO is thrilled with these numbers. If these don't go way up in Season 3, I fear it may be done after 3.

What would be HBO's plan otherwise? Nothing they have gets ratings like Game of Thrones, so theres no comparison. Game of Thrones is also going to be over, and at that point HBO only has two proven big budget subscription driving dramas, Westworld and True Detective left by my count.Brian Earl Spilner said:

I maintain that the show is much more enjoyable without doing extra internet research. Some people seem to be really stressing themselves out listening to all these podcasts and reading everything they can find to tell them how to understand a weekly one hour TV show, while they're missing things in the show itself. Sit back and enjoy the show.Quote:
