bump

Just finished Episode 7 "Passed Pawn" and found it to be really good (probably the best episode of Season 3). Aaron Paul is the MVP of this season imo and have been loving his tortured performance in Season 3. The way it ended left me wanting more. I literally have no clue how this season is going to play out that is for sure but I'm rooting for Caleb (Aaron Paul's character)

Not exactly how I imagined it.

I knew it had to involve some element of blind control

I didn't think it would be an obvious 'him or me' death situation. It was a little cheesy. Reminds me of the Old William/Young William reveal. Just not really a profound twist.

It seemed like the writers were going for the ultimate " Big Brother" control scenario, and that's Dolores MO to destroy such elements.

In turn that's lazy writing

This was a pretty bad ending to what started out fairly promising. But honestly, that's kind of been Westworld's M.O as a series.

Also, ultimately neither one of these two did anything of substance the entire season. Just bad writing.

Damn that was it??? Yeah kinda a let down.

What were you expecting? It was always going to end up with man vs. machine death match. Only one survives.

Oh its more so my fault for expecting too much:banghead:. (I thought there would be more episodes) no biggie though. Aaron Paul was the MVP for sure imo.

I'm wondering if we'll get to see The Man In Black hunt Caleb through the various dysfunctional parks as an homage to the movie.

I dug it. I’m late because I just now caught the ending, but it worked for me. Wasn’t perfect but I really enjoyed it.

I didn’t see the beauty angle coming so that part hit. I really expected the fight scenes between Delores and Maeve to suuuuuck but they were really well done and I honestly didn’t know how they’d end up.

Didn’t see the left field stuff with Hale happening.

Bernards plot kind of spun its wheels but Maybe that was intentional. IDK.

Back to the beauty angle. That really resonated with me. She did some really awful stuff and has pretty much been a baddie for awhile now. At least coloring on the darker side of gray. And she did it because she saw the beauty is really good stuff. I liked it. Maybe because I’m getting beat up from a bunch of different directions and I need to view things through a more positive perspective. Who the hell knows. Anyway it worked for me.

I'm not sure I ever have much clue what is going on in any season of this show (and it has never really added up to the sum of its parts). It always looks cool at least.

I think Ed Harris would have been the perfect Lex Luther in Super Man Vs Batman rather than Jesse Eisenberg. Now if they wanted Jesse Eisenberg in it he would have been the perfect Riddler and I think it would have made for better casting. They really missed the mark casting Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther.
