Would you recommend reading the book, Bill?

I’ve been kind of not overly thrilled by this show so far, but I thought episode five was well done.  Great job by Tim Blake Nelson.  
 

I want more squid, tho.

That last episode was very Lindelofian. I loved it.

Ugh. I'm going to watch it to the end anyway but I'm probably not watching if it gets renewed.

Okay, I'm caught up as of two days ago.  I'm really enjoying it, but as someone may have pointed out above, my repeatedly ordering fried calamari to eat during the show is not being reciprocated by the expected encounter during episodes.

  Well, the ending of last weeks episode was somewhat, unexpected.  And gory.

Yes, but at least they put the right music on that scene.

Well that's over, thankfully. When does Westworld season 3 start?

  Yeah, that was a bizarre nine episode series, that's for sure.  I still can't decide if I actually liked it or not.

I didn't. I gave up on it making sense four episodes ago and everything since then has felt contrived and out of character.

I liked it, but I didn't love it.

Wow, season 2 was 4/18 to 6/18. If it gets released mid 2020, that's two years. The recap video better be good!

  I really liked the Looking Glass and Hooded Justice episodes, but the rest of the time the series was just a little off for me.

I liked Looking Glass as a character but his episode was also the one that made me realize these people didn't know what they were doing with the original characters and just wanted tell a story with as much wow or shock value as possible.

I'm speaking of course about the Veidt tape to Robert Redford. Ridiculously uncharacteristic of Veidt to do, but is basically the whole catalyst for the entire series.

I thought it was good.. I never was a giant fan of the movie, but I liked this better.

Superheros without superpowers is just kind of lame. I know that's the whole point but still...

I like the show "The Boys" on Amazon a lot, its somewhat a similar theme with the heroes not being good but they at least have powers.
