EPTThere was a book released in conjunction with the original movie, but it's the script of the movie, rather than a novel that the movie was based on.

It is likely loosely based on this. Though from the trailers I am 100% sure the pilot goes well beyond this movie's scope. West World the movie is more important to the horror genre than sci-fi for its unresting monster. | ||

The first is that he's doing commercial espionage for a competitor of Westworld's and that he is trying to figure out how the place works. This was my first impression. Thinking about it a little more, I also think that it is possible that he really is just some sick, psychotic guy who is looking to totally game the Westworld system and become kind of a deity-type person when he visits there. He's been going there for 30 years and clearly understands how most of the system works. He may be looking to take his experience to the next level by finding ways to program his own stories. I would bet on the 2nd possibility. I think it might also be connected to what was mentioned about + Show Spoiler + management having its own, secret goals, which Ed will uncover to be behind/trying to make the hosts go crazy, or have some kind of self-determination | ||

the bug was not actually a bug, but rather an intended change introduced by Dr. Ford (Hopkins)? I got the impression that Peter Abernathy (father of Dolores) was sincere and truly conscious during the interrogation, and that Dr. Ford realized that and cleverly covered that up by saying it's his former personalities interfering with his current one | ||

HBO’s Westworld looks like a hit. Sunday’s premiere episode delivered a strong 3.3 million viewers across its first two airings and streaming, industry sources say. That’s HBO’s biggest series premiere audience since the first season of True Detective nearly three years ago (January 2014). And True Detective stands as HBO’s largest series opening since Boardwalk Empire back in 2010. Westworld did way better than the network’s most recent expensive gamble, Vinyl, which opened to only 764,000 viewers last February and was canceled after a single season. The sci-fi series was down a bit from a show to which its frequently compared, Game of Thrones, which debuted to 4.2 million viewers across multiple airings back in 2011. Successful HBO dramas tend to often debut somewhat modest, then grow week after week due to word of mouth and subscribers getting a chance to catch up via On Demand, on DVR, and in repeats. Combined with its glowing reviews from critics, Sunday’s Westworld ratings set the stage for an extremely likely second season renewal. Source | ||

Perhaps his idea is to replace humans with artificial "life", not bound by the same limitations? | ||

I mean there is a clear theme going on here, as soon as they decide to go discover it more i don't see how we can just show different parts of the world, etc I think i can see them doing 2-3 seasons max atm tbh, which would be totally fine btw! | ||

So far it looks great, the acting was pretty good and the themes (obviously) are quite interesting. | ||

I wish they went more into the process of the guests visit. Is it a one day stay? Is there a curfew? etc. + Show Spoiler + I didn't buy that the father broke down over one picture of something he couldn't make out. Even from the interviews afterword he only spouts out pre programmed things in different ways. | ||

What is the spoiler policy for this thread, by the way? | ||
