    If you aren't watching this show, I cannot recommend it enough! Three episodes in and I am loving it. Definitely a great Sunday night fill-in for Game of Thrones.

    Who else has been watching? Anyone want to discuss?

    I have them all recorded but I haven't watched any yet. Timeless also looks like it may be good but haven't had time to watch them either.

    Too much damn sports going on right now.

    Must have missed this post. Holy crap though...I'm so into it. Like into it unlike anything since LOST (which yes I was one of those people discussing theories with friends on a weekly basis). But this show already has a TON of mystery and questions and I honestly just miss that in a show. The concept is fascinating to me and not to mention they have some stellar actors.

    I'm all in

    Westworld is fantastic. The acting, writing, setting and music are all top notch. If I'm not mistaken the composer of the opening for westworld also did GOTs. One thing I haven't done to much so far is see how many connections there are between the original movie and the show but there probably is lots hidden in there.

    Yep. This is the best show of 2016 hands down so far.

    Huh???

    Finally watched. Hate to say it but this show can do no wrong for me. Im at the point where I was early on in LOST where I don't care about answers or how ....I'm just along for the ride. And the ride so far has been great!!

    I LOVE the use of modern music on those pianos in the "west". Anyone catch the NIN on Sunday? Just fantastic

    Another one of my favourite genres, partly because it is the way of the future, and that is Artificial Intelligence. Westworld is definitely a contender for Best New Show, for me. The writing and acting are top notch. The music and cinimentography are awesome. Definitely love the way it is heading.

    On a related note, some of the things that AI is doing now, and will get better at:

    -Obviously self driving cars.
    -AI in gaming. AI Chess is already better than humans. Limit Hold 'em has been perfected by AI, and they suggest that No Limit Hold 'em will soon be perfected. Claudico is making great strides as a No Limit Hold'em Supercomputer, although it still makes some silly plays.
    -AI is writing. They have written poems and songs, and the Associated Press is using AI to actually write minor league baseball articles.
    -Romantic relationships with AI are coming...
    -Nautilis is a self learning computer which is being groomed to predict things that will happen. It takes millions of pieces of information and comes to conclusions. This has awesome, and scary potential.

    Mannnnnnnnnn Teddy hopping on that gun?? So was he somehow repurposed??? It's getting kind of confusing if characters are going to continuously get repurposed behind the scenes....but still love it.

    This is a show I am definitely going to have to watch again so I can understand it better, but holy crap is it ever good. It's like Isaac Asimov meets Stephen King.
