I just wrapped up episodes four and five. What a couple of brilliant pieces. The ending on five was marvelous. Predictable, but marvelous.
when the man in black met with Ford, I was extremely excited. There were a lot of questions that came out of that though. Is Ford a host? I'm not sure. They had lines which hinted at it. Plus when the MIB threatened him, it seemed like the entire population of hosts was about ready to kill the MIB.
And then there was the steam shovel. What the hell was that?!
I think the scene where there were playing Carmen during the robbery was one of my favorites of the series so far. The music has been wonderful. It often takes the scenes to new heights, which is impressive given the superb acting. Which reminds me, if Evan Rachel Wood doesn't win best actress I'm going to be extremely disappointed.
I'm also very curious about the logistics of the entirety of Westworld. The village with the day of the dead-like celebration especially. It seemed like the black hat (I can't remember his name) seemed to indicate that his company owned it..? Who does he work for?
Between this and GoT, it's going to be fun to see how many awards HBO is going to scoop up. I don't see them losing many.
ETA: the deep philosophical questions have started to slow down it seems. Really just the black hat, white hat dynamics. I'm a little disappointed but I assume these pick up again as the season comes to a close. I really want this show to stay the thinking man's GoT. If it just turns into an excuse for boobs and guns, I'm going to be upset.
