Westworld - Episodes 1 thru 5 -
I decided to check out this show early as I saw a few images that looked pretty cool. One of which reminded me of the creation sequence from the old Ghost in the Shell animated movie. It's a good show and very expensive looking. So far the soundtrack is good too. But I was a bit let down because of the hype. It's very good but not one of the best pilot episodes ever as some have called it. In fact, I was only surprised by one moment early in the first episode. Other than that, it's stuff that been seen before in other sci-fi movies and tv shows. Stuff like The Thirteenth Floor, Blade Runner, episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation and The Twilight Zone, and other dark sci-fi shows. I still want to see the movie though and I do think they will drop another twist late in the season. But this is more questioning sci-fi mixed with a real life Grand Theft Auto world than horror. I haven't played that Western open world game but I want to one day. In fact, I would love to go to Westworld myself. I probably wouldn't leave as one of the main characters is the actress who played the vampire queen in True Blood.

It's like the writers can't decide whether the Hosts are programmed to run a scenario or self-directed enough to create the scenario, and it keeps switching back and forth.

I guess you haven't seen episode 5 yet as the nudity is back with a vengeance!
