![]() ![]() It’s amazing, I think, that we viewers-is this just me?-identify more with the robot slaves than the actual humans. Rogers: Andrea, for sure, that exact question is the foundation of the show and of the relationship between the show and the audience. Adam, you've written some about ethics and robots (particularly, the squishy ethics of sex with robots) what are your thoughts about how the hosts are treated in Westworld? Is reality in the eye of the beholder? And if so, just how malleable is it? Another theme I'm interested in is the ethical treatment of the hosts. Westworld explores the theme through the host/human divide, but deliciously muddies things by layering in how much perception plays a part in determining reality. And certainly a question that has only become more complicated and nuanced in our increasingly digital lives. (Though, if we're trotting out Lost comparisons, Westworld's "it’s purgatory" fan theory would be "it's a simulation.") The Westworld theme I'm most interested in is "What is real?" Such a great universal question with no real satisfactory answer. And also to say that Season 1 had more holes than a fine Emmentaler.Īndrea Valdez: Adam, I understand your desire to apply "logic" but as someone who doesn't mind suspension of disbelief, I'm happy to let those holes gape a little longer. Watercutter: I’m just here to say thank you for saying that, Adam. At some point you gotta untangle the universal string-puller, don’t you? Or else it’s just Lost. It's like a gentle push forward, a reassuring nudge into the unknown.Rogers: For all the show’s lyrical, expressionist beauty … it’s still science fiction. i think i have gotten used to having you here, listening and reading. I thank you all, loyal readers, for riding along with me thus far. ohhh, the scents! i wait with child-like anticipation the day i can sink my teeth into a juicy tomato the beginning lives of my tomatoes below. We have delectable vine tomatoes, fragrant basil, thyme and rosemary. In my first real attempt to actually grow something edible, renewable, to soothe my conscious, we started a pseudo-garden on the back deck. ![]() if you don't see it at first, look again. ![]() perhaps i can even help others to see it too.Įverything is in the eye of the beholder. In my temporary suburban dwelling, this beauty i speak of is oftentimes clouded by life's many tragic distractions. i will make that beauty apparent, live it, breathe it.or chase it if it flutters too far away. I truly do believe that there is beauty all around us, no matter where we go. dragging heels, frown and a pit in my stomach.Īlmost 6 months living, experiencing, taking in the wonderful life of the french it's significant. i almost had to be pushed onto the plane. #Will i die if i help the new tomorrow beholder 2 fullTwo full weeks have passed since i tearfully left the magnificent south of france. I am turning the pages of my own story.a new chapter, perhaps a true beginning? stick with me to see what happens next. Why should i only dream, hope or wait when i can do, accomplish and achieve?
