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...

You are generally the best but…

Three things: 1. fine you didn’t like it – don’t belabor it – that doesn’t help me enjoy the show. 2. My wife would say any show is tedious when you re-watch it – of course, you know what happened 3. I enjoy having people who are really knowledgeable talk...

A little more evidence for Big D’s Tinfoil

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...

Episode Two Was Disappointing

People have complained about season two and, aside from general confusion, the lack of “stakes” was central to the complaints. Westworld is at its best when it is wrestling with gray areas. The conflicts are metaphysical and philosophical in nature. The struggle between dynamic opposites is not most compelling when...
