Westworld 3-2
Hello all, Listening to the deep dive gave me a couple ideas. Gene mentioned that winter line means an atmospheric inversion. After a bit of googling, I found that the winterline is an atmospheric inversion that causes a second horizon, a mirage. You can only see this horizon from high...
Respond to Ash SWS Real World Simulation
Hi, Thanks for interest. Forgive long text and I always write from my computer in paragraph form but I’m away from home and on my phone after reading of your interest so I got a little excited. I’m reading Under an Ionized Sky From Chem-trails to Space Fence Lock-down by...
Is Rohobo acting like HAL in 2001?
Big D’s theory about Rohoboam acting to preserve its existence and purpose in the world seems suspiciously like the same problem HAL had in 2001. Its prime directive to protect the mission to Jupiter at all costs conflicted with the threat posed by its human subjects to shut it down...
Westworld Episode 2 Review: “The Winter Line”
Shat on TV’s coverage of Westworld Season 3, Episode 2: “The Winter Line” starts off intelligently with discussions of free will vs sentience, the nuance between hero and villain, and Ash’s brilliant overview of Louis Althusser’s views of subjection and the state. Things take a turn as Dick Ebert unveils his latest treatise: “Rahobo, The God Humans Need,” force-feeding Gene enough tinfoil to spark a Divergence. Suddenly, it’s Big D worshipping at the altar of Coconut Guy, Gene Lyons offering to kill Dick to save the world, Ashley classifying Serac’s accouterment as “Bond Villain,” an extended team giggle-fest, and the Shat Boys getting way too specific about Westworld’s timelines.
I’m still around and Ash is cool
Hey guys, Long time no email. Super excited here at the beginning of WestWorld S3. I’m following the pod, as usual, albeit a bit behind. I’m an industrial engineering inspector so, luckily, my work has kept me busy with 13 hr night shifts; keeping up has been challenging. I’m digging...
Meet The New Boss
Hosts, Wow! That didn’t take long. Big D timidly broaching how beautiful Maeve looked in the white dress. This after Ashley notes the physical attractiveness of Caleb, Hector and Stubbs. And then she says she’ll be discussing Louis Althusser – member of the French theorists like Lacan, Foucault, Sartre, Barthes-...
Stubbs’ Amazing Performance
Good Evening Guys and Gal, To start, I would like to keep the wonderfully earned momentum, and welcome Ashley to the family. Her emails were one of the highlights I looked forward to during season 1 and 2 and now it’s fantastic to get a healthy dose of her perspective...
