Either way, I haven't seen the original since I was a teenager. Don't remember the full storyline, and don't want to rewatch until after at least the first season! |

... as Billy's friend said he was really interested in finding out who William really is. |
Holy shit that theory... that would be awesome.
Sad I didn't catch the player piano tune this time around. Sizemore is a punk |
I'm sure everyone picked up the violent ends quote triggers the glitch and effectively spreads the awakening from "host" to new "host".

Each host may be different including how much trauma there is from all of a sudden recalling A LOT of terrible shit flooding in at once. |
What is the significance of the bartender appearing to have black hair in the first episode but then having grey hair in the second episode? It looked like the same guy, just older.

I half love, half HATE, the fact that Abrams is apparently delving back into the narrative possibilities of the conflation of reality, fiction and fictionalized reality.
On one hand, in their beginning stages the storylines spark the imagination and turn the viewing process into an individualized creative process of its own as you dream up 'fanfic' of what it all means. On the other hand we have LOST, the elephant in the room. The show where all that narrative world-building turned out to be a Potemkin village erected to mask the fact that they had no idea what they were doing in the end. That said, here's preview footage. <iframe width="626" height="352" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bq-E2FZZ3d4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

In an Abrams world, this kind of detail could be a CRUCIAL plot twist [or meta-narrative insight], or it could be a simple lapse on the continuity coordinator's part, . . . or it could be a once-upon-a-time crucial detail that got abandoned when the writers change their minds, and years from now they'll slyly hint it was a continuity error. . . or was it!!!!!????? In the moment, it's compelling and satisfying to chew through the narrative details looking for meaning, Only time will tell if we're all a bunch of armchair Sherlocks, or a pile of dumb animals chasing their tails on the porch. |
This discussion reminds me of a philosophical quandary that seems to be percolating back up around the show.
What is more terrifying to you An AI that passes the Turing test? or An AI that deliberately fails the Turing test? |

Exhibiting deception means that the new entity has already bitten from the apple and fallen. I guess you can take consolation in the fact that it happened so quickly that we were predestined to fail and doomed from the start. It is an interesting premise to present self awareness in an AI as a glitch, and the commentary as it translates to humanity and our relationship to nature, our environment, and one another. |
