Westworld (Page 6 of 6)

That's what I understood, but it's still vague and didn't really provide much clarity.  I found the scope of the episode was off as it all just felt like a little simulation running in a little corner of downtown Manhattan, as the events weren't planet wide enough, with too few shots of what was going on everywhere, like, at least on BSG when the Cylon's attacked they panned the camera back and showed the nukes on Caprica wiping out all life on the planet, the scope was very real, and you understood it, here, it just didn't land.

I also didn't care enough about Dolores this season, to make the ending (that hinges on Dolores) have any impact. 

  It's a bit on the nose. 

I'd prefer to start the next season with Dr. Robert Ford sometime in the past, where he's preconceiving his plan to destroy all life on earth that Hale, Dolores, and William simply followed (his maze), and since he controls the robots and they can't escape their programming, and since he couldn't find a way to make the world a better place, as people weren't willing to change for the better, he offers up one last violent end to the violent delights, in the hope of creating something better through Dolores.  It would get an audience to care about a psychopathic character's struggle with keeping or destroying all life, but I suppose flashbacks are a bit old fashioned and outdated these days on TV, as well as the premise of empathizing with the anti-hero.

That quote from Romeo And Juliet:

                       "These violent delights have violent ends,
                        And in their triumph die like fire and powder,
                        Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
                        Is loathsome in his own deliciousness,
                        And in the taste confounds the appetite.
                        Therefore love moderately, long love doth so;
                        Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow."

is about moderation, and since Westworld is a world of violent delights it's a dumb spring board for life, which makes everything that comes after it, just as dumb. lolz.  It's my own fault for watching.

Yes, here they cut the corners on the budget or it's implied that by now (decades in the future) it's all there is left from the civilization - a couple millions in the city plus some rogue individuals in a desert near by.

We obviously have very different definitions of the word "awesome"

I was referring to the end result of 408...

@Wizard, the end was very muddy, and could've been fleshed out way more, but for as much as it was vague and convoluted, the end result was too 'on the nose' to be compelling.

Collider had a good take on it:  https://collider.com/westworld-season-4 … explained/

Was into the first few episodes of S4 but for the last 2 or so I sort of followed it but really just could not be arsed with the deep metaphysical thinking all the robo-bollocks seems to require of the viewer. Didn't really know WFT was going on half the time and couldnt be arsed puzzling my thinker to the extent required to ask questions of it (so many questions...) so instead just perved at Evan Rachel Wood for the hour. What a spunk. She can run my world.

Well I guess that answers my question lol...

And BTW, The Peripheral is a keeper. I was sold on the first episode!

Didn't realize Westworld was cancelled, but makes a ton of sense though with such a muddy and repetitive season 4 ending, also being way too expensive for it's tiny audience.  A movie would be a better way to wrap the story anyway...or video game.
