the shift in plot this season from focusing on the fantastical to the "realistic" makes me think HBO is digging that succession money and shifting focus from game of thrones like imagined worlds to hyper rich and successful people doing whatever the fuck they want
because really this show got incredibly dumb incredibly fast
- meanwhile all superficial aesthetics and luxury consumer concepts are all heavily featured instead of the nuance of how people treat those who they see as lesscolin_s
- it's like they want dolores to represent a revolutionary, but she's actually a terminator... and in this world her ideas aren't wrong, humans are trashcolin_s
- Wasn't it based on the uber rich from the beginning? The people going to westworld to "vacation". Then mining their data.capn_ron
- sure, but that's just the plot. the story brought into question ideas of morality, virtue, empathy. right now, there's nobody to care about.colin_s
- er the foundation for the plot. like, who gives a shit if these characters all die? they're all scum, or robots, or both, with bad or worse ambitions.colin_s
- I hear ya. I will say i am rooting for Delores only because the path she is on is to bring down the establishment. Even if she is a robot she has that goal tocapn_ron
- overcome the programers that are ruling everything.capn_ron
- not ruling, controlling is a better word.capn_ron
- The show was always a bit pretentious. I tried to make it through one episode of the new season. Just tedious melodrama.yuekit
