Reviews look pretty good. It's no Atlanta though.
I hope to have time to watch it either late today or early tomorrow.

Uhhh so yeah, I fell asleep with 30 mins left to go in pilot episode last night. Don't worry, I have done this with game of thrones and breaking bad too in the past so nothing to do with the show. I was probably just exhausted. I will have to rewatch the 30mins again lol. I liked what I saw in the first half though. Reminded me of this idea that we may actually be in such a virtual world ourselves where our entire universe is run by a very advanced computer. The laws of physics (or laws of nature, whatever you want to call it) could be the infrastructure of the program and bits & bytes could be various things and beings within this giant program. Almost like the Matrix. Some theoretical physicists have tried to figure out if there is a way for us to determine if we are in such a program. One of them being this guy James Gates at university of maryland about something called supersymmetry where you could have matter that can pass through other matter and energy that cannot pass through other energy (In nature, matter cannot pass through other matter, and energy can pass through other energy waves so with supersymmetry we switch the 2 abilities). We don't know if supersymmetry particles exist, but anyways they created these mathematical equations depicting these supersymmetry particles. In those equations, they found codes that represent something in computer programming called error-correcting code so if you have a few packets or data missing, the system tries to automatically fill in those missing packets. If we find supersymmetry particles then we may find this error-correcting code embedded within (remember, a lot of "if's" lol). I wrote about it a while back in more detail if anyone is interested Went off topic there discussing Matrix and theoretical physics like a mad man, stopping now lol. Will post my thoughts on pilot episode once I rewatch last 30mins tonight.

Wow, great show with deep ideas once we get past the glitches and into wondering why does Dolores' daddy act that way.. The last 30 mins were just mind-boggling!
I have a feeling the AI beings will either A) end up being sentient in the end even though they are powered by a computer. This would be freaky to realize because it would mean the computer literally has a mind.. dunno if you guys ever read Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card but in it, a computer AI is made and it is made so advanced that it literally becomes sentient living being or B) someone is screwing around with the programming, causing those glitches intentionally. May be screwing around from within the company (I doubt it), hacking from outside the company (I doubt this too because they are very much isolated), or from within the game/system itself. The last possibility is freaky and goes back to option A with the computer being able to self-evolve the programming through almost like error-correcting code I mentioned in the previous post.. life finds a way to evolve but maybe a computer advanced enough can too?? Very freaky to consider. or C) if you look at outdoor scene, the area looks very like the area in the computer game. Maybe their game world is truly real each time they activate the game day and the town folks will attack them. This one is farfetched but imagine how insane this scenario would be!
My money is on the option A. This show is epic and brings into question AI and ethical issues related to it. The game will become so realistic that they will have to eventually keep the computer game running or it may be considered murder to disable or turn off the game. Brace yourselves for a very interesting ride (potentially anyways)!

What do you mean computer game? I was under the impression that all this shit is happening in real time and they just repair the androids whenever they are hurt.

I was under the impression that the androids were powered by a computer and everything is happening in a virtual world. The reason is that you see the human in 2nd episode being transported from the main building to the bar to the train by simply walking through a doorway. That is covering vast distances through a simple door so I began suspecting that they were being transported somehow or were in a virtual world. I might be wrong

I might be wrong  Judging by Maeve's experience in the facility after waking up on the table, I think it's quite clear that it's happening in the real world. Who knows though, there's still a lot we don't know.

Returning to Westworld and all jokes aside..
The maze that is being discussed by Ed Harris may lead to the control room. Harris wants to find it and take it over or alter it or do something to it.
You guys may be correct in saying it is a physical location, if they stayed true to original movie.. The plot basically shows the androids turning on the humans and the gunslinger in there is a robot. Maybe Ed Harris is actually a robot after all? We only saw him kill robots so far but no humans. That means he might not be human at all.
Not only may he be a robot but he may be a robot that wants to create havoc by screwing with the game control room.

Looks to me like the computer AI is self-evolving! Life finds a way (jurassic park). I wonder how complex it will get and whether it will get to the point of sentience
