Can anyone compare characters on Westworld to these philosophical concepts?

Free will and determinism

Machiavellian virtu, fortuna, and dirty hands

Taoism, the yin/yang, wu-wei

Interesting. I wonder how far the series going to be removed from the park.

I liked the trailer a lot.

I loved the first season but the second season seemed a bit stale with the park stuff and I think it lost a bit of novelty. I think this is a good way of changing things up.

If you hate the show so much...

Don’t watch it.

Novel idea, I know. But then you lose the ability to act holier-than-thou on an anonymous forum, so I doubt you will follow that path.

I already know you watch shitty shows but please tell us why season 2 was so compelling....
You are fighting a straw man. I never defended the show. I attacked the concept of not watching a show because it sucked, then attacking the people who do watch it.

I dont have the desire to break down the shows demographics but just on workplace discussion alone I'm confident of my assessment of the major audience group and their takeaway that season 2 was "deep".....

This is the worst HBO production Im aware of.


And I will continue to voice that opinion until they stop.
