I must admit I was getting lost trying to keep straight what was "past" and what was "present." SO much Bernard in blinky rooms.
WTF is up with these idiot security people?
I'm sorry, but that guy getting "seduced" by the sexy robot after she murdered half his coworkers was bad writing. Realistically, he would have blown her head apart before going within 20 feet of her. Pure silliness.
I need another look.
They're basically stormtroopers.
On occasion, unrealistically horny stormtroopers, apparently.
Like JJ's other shows, this one will likely get so convoluted that it simply starts to degrade and get silly, writers writing themselves into corners where they finally have to just "do something inane" to get out of it (like the above referenced action to destroy the cradle).
Think the last two seasons of Alias and LOST.
I'm hoping it doesn't go that way. JJ isn't really actively writing on this isn't he? I have a little more faith in Jonathan Nolan than JJ Abrams.
No he's not writing, and JJ was long gone by the time his other two shows went ape-**** too. But its just "JJ style" to let this show go ape-****.
I have a love-hate thing with JJ. He's got some great ideas... but doesn't have the genuine inspirational creativity to truly finish them through in a satisfying way. That's why so many think fondly of him as a 'very talented hack'. Probably the King of talented hacks.
True... but eventually you do have to make sense of the mystery box.
I see so many parallels between Lost and Westworld.
The Leftovers, ...
That show was the biggest question mark ever. I never saw the ending -- what happened, in a nutshell?
How far did you get?
