Re: Reek of loopholes
One of the worst last episodes I've seen in the last few years, it made zero sense. If I wanted to "bring about the birth of AI" I'd quietly release some of the hosts into the real world over time, not create a massacre.
Re: Reek of loopholes
We don't know Ford's motives. Plus: he quietly released Maeve into the world while making sure the park will be under fire.
Re: Reek of loopholes
And Maeve got off the train. But she left her bag behind

I honestly thought Ford was going to lock all the investors in the park and replace them with AI duplicates of themselves in the real world. That would've been a much better ending.
Re: Reek of loopholes
Who says he wont? That might be his end game. At the end of the finale we don't know what will happen to the Delos board. I wouldn't put it past Ford to do that.

Yes I smell something tooA fouly boring post I regret opening.
Re: Reek of loopholes
The guns are actually real, they replace the bullets Nolan explains: "They're called simunitions. The U.S. military trains with rounds like the ones we're talking about. But there's a bit of an impact, a bit of sting. So it's not entirely consequence-free for the guests." As far as why as they break the skin the of hosts, it has to with how their skin is made - while close to human not completely the same, if that makes sense.
2. The guests are monitored, the security would step in, if something got out of control between guests.
3. Guests arrive and they leave Westworld.
4. The further outside designated areas of the park guests get, the more dangerous it gets (that is talked about a lot, that is the thrill for the guests). As far as Logan, we don't know his status, he may still be alive, William may have simply wanted to discredit him in his Father-in-law's eyes. We may see Logan in Season 2 as one of the MIB's biggest adversary's, we don't know.

"security would step in, if something got out of control between guests."
That being said a guy was being dragged behind a horse!

If you didnt notice in that scene, Charlotte appeared. They had full control over what was happening, she wouldve saved MiB in any case. Maybe she went for both reasons; to make sure he got ok, and to proposition regarding Ford being pushed out.

Re: Reek of loopholes
Despite the many plotholes, WW is still entertaining. But I gotta say, the company behind the park has terrible security. And its HR dept needs an overhaul, seriously the people they're hiring are idiots with no common sense lol.

Maybe you mean "plotholes?"
How can bullets hurt robots and not humans?
We don't know exactly how it works.. whether it's the bullets, or the guns that are some kind of 'smart' technology; all we know is that somehow the guns in Westworld aren't lethal to people.
But it's just background info it's not relevant. We don't know exactly how lightsabers in Star Wars work, either it's impossible to make a laser beam just STOP at the right length to be used as a sword. Star Wars is a fantasy about the struggle between good & evil, tho.. it's not a documentary on the use of a laser. so HOW a lightsaber exactly functions isn't relevant.
Same with Westworld it's an epic about what makes us human, whether artificial intelligence can ever attain true sentience, and if so what will the consequences be? HOW the guns work? Not a MAJOR concern.
Would guests die from killing each other?
Of course they would. Just like anyplace else people are people and accidents are accidents. 21 people have died in Disneyland since it opened in 1955, and an average of 100 people sue Disneyland every year due to injuries.
Would guests die from causes other than gunshots such as asphyxiation, hanging, poison, inflection, etc.?
Of course they would. But I assume that hosts are programmed to step in and try to stop something like that, when they see it happening.
Why was some guests not monitored for safety and got killed (e.g. Logan)?
ALL guests are monitored for safety. We don't know if Logan got killed that horse he was on was a HOST horse.. robot. I'm sure the horses are programmed to take care around guests.. so the horse probably carried Logan somewhere safe, where he'd get help like the nearest town in the park.
But you can't prevent EVERY accident, or stop every crime. Yes, the park has some dangers so does every OTHER place, every other hobby people still skydive, even tho there's a chance the chute won't open.
How can no one notice that Bernard didn't age even though he was *beep* standing out?
People don't notice stuff like that from day to day. You really only notice how different a person looks, when you see an old photo. There weren't any photos of Bernard laying around. Also - most of the staff looked pretty young, probably only worked there for about 5 or 10 years at most not enough time for people to start wondering.
Well. also nothing else makes any sense
Whatever.
Sometimes fires don't go out when you're done playin' with them.
Re: Reek of loopholes
Harvey you're being absurd with your white knight defense of West World. There genuinely are TONS of plot holes
The gun bullet thing makes zero sense because the 'guests' do not consistently use ONE gun from the time they get into the park. They flip between using random guns that the robot hosts have as well. The gun bullet thing makes zero sense, for gods sake there are occasions when the robots even pick up the guests weaponry. Along with that there are tonssss of instances on the show where the robots are using knifes, axes, strangling attempts- its extremely inconsistent with the concept that it could be safe for a guest.
Also your Disneyland comparison is awful. The majority of deaths and accidents in Disneyland involve MECHANICAL rides. If a human being kills another human being in Westworld (which is something that is bound to happen, just look at what Ed Harris's character did when younger to his brother in law in terms of putting him on a horse and letting him off to roam tied up presumably to his death). It's a huge hole that's unaddressed, guests actions to other guests
Westworld is about as deep as a puddle and extremely unconvincing because of the massive # of holes. Just the concept that they wouldn't have 3 trillion cameras watching everywhere and instead have employees PHYSICALLY go out into the park to check visual things is insane
she fell through a hole, and was never seen again
