I couldn't find the old Westworld thread. If anyone does find it, please link it to this one. Season two starts April 22nd! Here's the teaser: I'm going to miss Anthony Hopkins.

For how much changed in the finale, very little actually changed.
Very entertaining though, and the mystery of Bernard was fairly well done - could have used a little better vehicle here or there for discovery IMO, but that's opinion.

I enjoyed the mental gymnastics involved in keeping track of the multiple story threads in the different timelines, and then trying to realign them chronologically based on when the threads intersected. I found the first few episodes this second season SO vindictive and violent as Delores/Wyatt went on the rampage with her gang through the park, like HBO Oz violent, to the point I didn't want to watch subsequent episodes. Thankfully, they toned it down a little a few shows ago, but the story was still mercilessly brutal.
This season ended pretty tidily I think - they shouldn't make another season. I sense some BSG shenanigans at play if they do where we keep guessing at who the android hosts are, and who is real.

The writers are making a classic sci-fi error though with the idea of intelligence or personality transfers and "uploads" - since there is really no such thing. Data and programs can be copied, and the original deleted, but the "uploaded" version is still a copy, the original deleted copy is actually an AI death.
I guess they could try to get around that by including some sort of matter transfer in the process, like in Star Trek.

The art-style, animations and gameplay of the Westworld game are so similar to Fallout Shelter that Bethesda definitely has cause to suspect that their engine and assets might have been used without permission?

What is the deal with Robert Ford anyway? Does he not have any kids, or relatives, or just random friends (step-brother maybe) who he might MAYBE want to save from Wyatt? How detached is that nutter from reality?
I have a feeling that in a subsequent show we'll find out Ford had a petty squabble with management that tipped him off into his actions.

I think Arnold's actions may have given him a push in that direction.

So... because this is a Bioware fan forum, anyone else get Shepard-in-the-Decision-Chamber vibe to Bernard's decision in the Cradle? He is a guy facing an impossible choice guided by a ghostly figure with nebulous origins and intentions.

He was as close an approximation as Ford and Co could make. Bernard isn't Arnold, just a replica made by a replicant. In the case of hosts, we know their consciousness transfer system - it is either by physical transfer of their CPU, or by digital transfer into the Geth. For humans, we have not addressed if these units have a soul. Future William the poor copy, is not William. Cannot be William. Hosts do not have an issue with identity, they are clearly hardware. Us? Lol.

Lol. The main transfer I was referring to with respect to the hosts was... ...their transfer through the virtual gateway in the finale. I looked like it was a data transfer since their bodies were simply discarded. Also, the screen said "Upload complete" as each host entered. You are correct though, most of the time the hosts' runtimes are left with the one hardware body, but we do see the backup system were all of their consciousnesses appear to be "living".

I am at episode 7 of the second season and I am still thinking the same thing as for the first - would have been a great 3 hour movie instead of the slow paced 10 episodes.
To be honest I started the second season only because of the samurai hints in Season one. When the wife asked me "why", I said "because if there are samurai, there are ninjas". And was so spot on. But it was cruel to end an episode with a samurai attack and pick up on it after a whole episode of cowboy drama... grrr... Hiroyuki Sanada was the cherry on top. Although I want him to play a ninja again. Being only a samurai lately is getting old.

Really on the fence with this show. It’s 2 clever for its own good. I was hoping for the sense of mystery I had when “Lost” was first on but this season was somewhat silly and confusing. Won’t spoil anything but with 10 minutes left in episode it started to feel like a show finale. Cant see this lasting 4-5 seasons

I finished watching season 2 but I thought that the last episode was a bit confusing tbh. I loved it as a whole though, the show is great and well done, kinda reminds me of Detroit Become Human in some way.

Well, in fairness, that reveal came at the end of season 2. If you're referring to who Bernard encountered in West World. But yes, it doesn't really ring true.

"The old man himself hired me, so many years ago I can barely remember it. But he was very clear about my role here. About who I was supposed to be loyal to. Guess you could call it... my 'core drive'. I'm responsible for every host... inside the park."
