Also if you want to watch a replay of the ASX post show livestream here is the link. Pretty fun listening to him pick it apart real time...
The 10-20 seconds of ERW screaming out in pain during the power surge and her upload to Rohoboam wasn't emotional? I disagree.MBAR said:
Also the death of Delores was the most poorly done death of any important character of a show I think I've ever seen. I honestly had no idea she was even dead at first. I know that it's insanely unlikely that she's dead for good, but if you're going to make that your emotional punch at the end of a season, put in at least a LITTLE effort here.
I mean I thought she was screaming because she was in pain or putting in effort but why would I expect her to die there? Its not until minutes later that Maeve says something about her being erased that I was like WAT. At no point did I think Delores was in danger so the screaming wasn't emotional for me at all.Bregxit said:The 10-20 seconds of ERW screaming out in pain during the power surge and her upload to Rohoboam wasn't emotional?

Of course, she ain't dead dead by a long shot. No way. I'll bet $100 on it.
I am about 50 minutes in...there are several things he is pointing out that during the episode I was feeling but not articulating and now I am like....OHHHHHHHHH I GET IT.TCTTS said:
Man, he's ripping it apart right from the get go, and deservedly so. Not angrily or anything,, but he's raising all the same issues we have in this thread, plus a few more.
The official soundtrack is usually released the day after the finale, so we at least have that to look forward to.Sex Panther said:
The only thing I can say about this show at this point is... I like the music
When the cables lit up white it took me back to Tron when he cleaned up the MCP's mess and the circuits turned from red to blue (white in Legacy)...the connections to her turned bright white and I was like "Oh ****, she is "infecting" the AI"...then Caleb told it to erase itself...question is, does Dolores get to utilize Rohoboam's hardware? No idea.MBAR said:I mean I thought she was screaming because she was in pain or putting in effort but why would I expect her to die there?

Can Delores run Crysis?
This comment captures my thoughts perfectly on this season. I think of the season as follows:TCTTS said:
The most frustrating thing for me is that the first half of this season was up there with the best the show has ever been. Or, rather the final two or three episodes of season two, through the first half of this season, were peak Westworld, IMO. I still think the season two finale is one of the best season finales I've seen, and provided such an incredibly poignant setup for season three (Radiohead playing while Dolores talks to Bernard about "choice" in that final scene was maybe my favorite moment of the entire series). Then the first episode of this season was a knock out, and so incredibly cool, with Dolores emerging from Jerry's pool to wreak havoc, Caleb's whole story, the introduction of the real world, etc. Then episode three of this season, which focused primarily on Charlores, was maybe my favorite all around episode of the entire series. It was so well done, so hauntingly beautiful, and ended with another of my favorite music queues (Moses Sumney's "Doomed"). And then it all culminated at the end of the incredible fourth episode, with the brilliant, Dolores-is-all-the-hosts reveal, and I could not have been more on board.
It was when that whole genre drug thing happened in the fifth episode that things started to feel a bit lazy to me, and it just went downhill from there. Yes, episode six was damn good, but five, seven, and eight just really missed the mark for me, in multiple ways, to the point where it felt like the creators had all the time in the world to write the first four episodes, and poured so much into them, but then all the sudden found themselves with like two weeks left to knock out the final four. The second half of the season just felt so rushed, and I'm at a loss as to how how such a promising start could result in such a limp ending.
And that's where the tired kicked in. Thanks.FightinTexasAg15 said:
There's a scene after the credits with the MiB
Charlores knew the plan, and since she was in control at Delos, she had some kind of controls put into Dolores' backup body.CoachRTM said:
How did she "appear" to Delores. I saw her eyes flashing, but how did Charredlores seem to control Delores' actions?

The MIB scene being after the credits was really annoying. Basically admitting that his whole arc was kind of a sideshow this season.

This finale seemed to make much of the season pointless. If just shutting Rehoboam down was all they had to do then it seems like Connells could have accomplished that task in episode 2.
Serac never had any safeguards on rehoboam so it would have been easy.
