Westworld - HBO - October 2, 2017 - AKA BOSSMODE COWBOY SCIFI SUPER DRAMA

[Rhyis.]

This was the official "it's on" episode.

[Katlan]

Maeve gonna be ther overlord of Westworld soon. Episode was super hype. I hope we get to see Arnold next episode since he was being name dropped left and right this episode

[Deftscythe]

Could someone explain to me why those guys would cooperate with Maeve after she put down the knife? I really don't get why they're risking their jobs and their lives for a doll with nothing to offer.

yeah I don't get that either, just destroy her?

[TummieGaruda]

Did anyone notice the old 1973 gunslinger model when Bernard was in the basement?

[macross]

man, i hope fiesty tech girl not dead now
but yeah they should have just trick maeve then reset her or something.

This ruined the episode for me. I am having a REALLY difficult time believing this company has literally fucking pants-on-head retarded security and employees.

I'm bad at names. I think the Asian guy just wants to help and she knows about the other guys indiscretions. Plus isn't her persuasion cranked up too. It could be speaking to that.

I'm talking about the complete lack of oversight. Are there no cameras in this place? She's just fucking walking around with homie?

Yeah that part is true, this guy seems a little low on the totem pole for this to be something he would normally do. Especially with the fact that the show goes out of its way to show him hiding the bird.

[NotGreyheim]

Jesus Teddy, wtf

[chazzyphizzle]

there are cameras everywhere, except when the plot needs them to disappear. pretty frustrating but still entertaining enough

also guessing arnold somehow uploaded some form of his consciousness into a host before he died and that's who is fucking with the other hosts now

[BerenTebogo]

Yeah the walking around is a pretty large plothole. I'm convinced that there is little-to-no oversight in the butcher shop as there's no real way that these dudes could be fucking dead dolls on the dl without being fired. Ellie had to specifically go looking for vid of one of the guys doing it last time. But walking around on higher floors? Nah.

As far as not destroying Maeve when she put the knife down, the episode alluded (twice) to her being able to wake herself up on her own. If you give the writers the benefit of the doubt and extend that line of thought a bit, two little carve-monkeys with only basically knowledge of the interface system may not reliably be able to subdue her at this point - or at least the fear of that would provide sufficient deterrent to screwing her over.

Plot holes everywhere, but trying to give benefit of the doubt where able.

[Zetanio]

Press delete on her profile.

[BerenTebogo]

Press delete on her profile.

I mean, not to be pedantic, but nothing that complex and restricted has a "delete" button that any fucking monkey could accidentally press. That'd be like a Fortune 500 company having every random accountant able to delete the entire network by double clicking an icon on the desktop.

True. These guys aren't monkeys though.

[Zetanio]

Also, a hard coded STOP command would be pretty effective.

[chazzyphizzle]

the 2 techs maeve was bossing around were monkey-adjacent if not full blown chimp

:\

[Katlan]

I agree that letting Maeve walk all around the higher floors was stupid and a pretty big plot oversight. I kept expecting them to get busted. But I just chocked it up to him making it seem like he was controlling her and she was acting like a puppet (more-or-less during it - until the end part) as he had the controller out and making it seem like he was moving her. So I just went with the fact that sometimes they move models around the facility for various reasons.
