Remember these are white ppl trying to code and create Indians from scratch, so maybe the reason why a guy like Akecheta exists, in his quest to code and create the perfect indian...

Piano version of "Heart Shaped Box" in the latest episode was good. It's when the ghost nation guy was down getting the update.

Also, I received a new email. Here you go. Again, all pictures are links.



Venture to the Outer Edges of the Park



Dear valued client,

In this world, it’s easy to misunderstand intentions. One of the park’s richest narratives, Ghost Nation is the heartbeat of all that is unknown in Westworld. This is the true connoisseur’s chance to learn the history of the mysterious tribe, and ride among them as they seek to uncover the park’s greatest secrets. While figuring out how it works is half the fun, we’ve put together some exclusive resources to help you navigate your journey to the outskirts. These narratives are meant for you.

Best Regards,
Aeden
Guest Services Host



Get a glimpse at rich narratives of an area of the park seen by a lucky few.



The outskirts of the park are vast and it can be easy to lose your way; allow a visualization to illuminate.



Take a peek behind the curtain and learn how our hosts help keep everything in line through the mesh network.



Our employees work tirelessly to create hundreds of concurrent narratives. Read more about them below.

Finally got around to watching and Brando really nailed it for me. Episode actually had an emotional impact. Phenomenal story telling, and really, my only qualms with the episode is that the other episodes dragged this one down. Like, I was midway through the episode thinking, "This is really good, but Ake being the first sentient host for possibly decades (at least 9 years) and it just went below the radar for so long?" As a standalone episode it really knocked it out of the park.

Might have been the best episode of the series as while it did move around in the time lines it was linear and a single story but done really fucking well. At the end with it being clear he was talking to Maeve the whole time it just fucking hits you. Really well done.

And yeah, I noticed a few lines when he was talking to Maeve's daughter that felt off. It wasn't until the super quick cuts between him and Maeve at the end where I realized the entire story was for her benefit and the little girl isn't woke. Which really kind of tied the whole thing together nicely.

I still wish the show would get on with it, but more of this type of episode will keep me watching. Hoping Ake becomes a permanent fixture on the show.

Oh yeah, also, it seems like "The Valley Beyond" is actually the Trona Pinnacles. I almost went to an opening casting call for it, but because I heard about it late decided not to bother.

Kind of extra disappointed because now it seems like the season will culminate there.

He's listed on IMDB as an executive producer for 17 of the episodes. And this entire season has JJ Abrams written all over it for anyone paying attention to the difference in story and intrigue compared to season 1.

It's what he has done with everything he's ever worked on. Start telling a story that is mysterious and fascinating and then just abandon the main plot points set forth in earlier episodes in favor of... nonsensical garbage.

I don't think you realize how easy it is to get an executive producer credit, Nolan and Joy are the showrunners

Since you obviously are an insider maybe you can explain it to us? How do they keep JJ from sending notes as every fucking network executive and EP has done since the dawn of film? Thanks in advance. I’m curious to hear more.

As numerous people have already pointed out it has Duck syndrome up the ass. It’s JJs new Island.

Oh you're right Ossoi. Why don't you walk us through how easy it is to get an executive producer credit for 17 episodes of an HBO television show.

EDIT: Jait beat me to it.

Isn't that somewhat well known in the industry? It's a way to attach a name to something so more people might watch it even though that person might have zero involvement.

"In case of multiple executive producers on a TV show, the one outranking the others is called the showrunner,[6] or the leading executive producer"

The show runner is the one in creative control and has overall responsibility for the plot.

There are six other executive producers on west world including Abrams, Nolan and Joy.

Nolan and Joy are frequently cited as the creators.

Abrams was also credited as EP on Last Jedi, you gonna give him full credit for the plot of that too

Maybe Screamfeeder can clarify, I'm of the opinion EP credits are given out fairly freely and are not dependent on being involved in plot/story decisions

Look at how Gabriel Macht and Patrick Adams got EP credits after Suits took off, it's probably a way of giving them a pay rise in exchange for committing to further seasons

Or look at all the EP credits Jerry Bruckheimer received after he got famous.

There's bad and then there's Last Jedi bad. If they had randomly swapped Finn's arc with the Ghost Nation that would actually have been an improvement...

The Man in Black, The Woman in Blue, both dyed in red.

So Ford guided Dolores on her path which led to the whole death incident plus Teddy, he is responsible for Maeve + company murder spree while trying to escape the park (although she noped on that), indirectly is responsible for William's wife finally deciding to off herself, messed with William's mind so much (when he knew his profile) that he started killing everyone, and most recently fubared Bernard and tried to finish off Elsie.

Anthony Hopkins is a total dick and everything can be laid at his feet.
