It feels to me like the writers of westworld slowly forgot what the show was about or something as it goes on. Like when you come up with an alt universe for a story that ignores the point of the original, like a version of Star Wars where Luke joins Vader that abandons the themes of family and redemption.
SPOILERS AHEAD IDK HOW TO DO SPOILER TAGS By season 3 it just felt like they plopped characters into the plot and wrote them to logical/“cool” conclusions, like “ooo wouldn’t it be fucked up if Halores took over the world and made the humans the hosts in her game” they just really lost the plot later on imo
I’m pretty sure the writers admitted they lurked forums and got really self conscious about how some people predicted the entire plot from like the first episode and wanted to really shake things up but lost the plot themselves.
Any sci-fi series that starts messing with time-travel or random time frames is when it goes really bad. You stop caring for any of the characters and any major death scene is not as convincing as before
Westworld should have just been an amazing miniseries.
Enterprise needed one more season.
See also: True Detective.
There’s a reason that it’s one of the few shows to be referred to as True Detective (Season One) when people talk about it
Am I the only person that enjoyed season 2 of True Detective?!
