The problem inherent in Westworld is that is not a story. It's just an idea. Mega  budgets initially can recruit brilliant actors and outlandish sets to mask the lack of a story. But before long, the concept just fades out.

I credited Lost with signalling a change in viewing habits, so that shows like this end sooner rather than later nowadays. But Westworld keeps going. I don't know how.
In reference to Lost, there's a show on Sky Sci fi called From that is from the same stable as Lost, its started off pretty good to be fair but I can forsee 7 or 8 series of tail chasing. It is pretty good tho.

Black Bird on Apple+ is great

Similar to that we started watching something called The Resort and my patience wore very thin after a few episodes but the missus has stuck with it.

Better Call Saul Spoiler spoiler alert, so feck off if you haven't been keeping up with the kardashians.



I'm slow, I'm still processing the last 2 episodes  of BCS



Mod5:  You are correct...you are slow.

Spoilers not allowed and edited out.
If spoilers are not allowed with a warning, where is that indicated?  and what I wrote, was it actually a spoiler? I do not think so. However I did I write spoiler alert, it was  well flagged in advance.  In fact what I did input was not a spoiler at all, I did not reveal anything. Was it just because I wrote spoiler alert in advance?  And was there a need to input the  erroneous insult   "you are slow"?
is there not a board etiquette about personal insults? 
I opine that you have not only overstepped the bounds of moderation by censoring my post but also have offered an insult.

Where is Ziggy when you really really him?

You did label yourself as lacking speed...it would indeed be an insult if I stated that without prompting, but as they say in court, you opened that door yourself.

Opine that.

I'm sure Ziggy will be in touch on your behalf.

Does SMF have a spoiler function that could be added on to the board?

I do realise that higher standards are expected from Monaghan posters, and we have to carry a burden of extra responsibility, but where is it written down that a spoiler alert is not allowed?
Not that I am admitting that I actually inputted a spoiler.

Monaghan people think at the same speed as they talk.

Watching The Wire, Stringer just got whacked, bad shit!!

An Watcher

Collins Cold Case, not bad.  Interesting.

The final episode was very underwhelming! I Never took to Rhea Seehorn's character Kim Wexler, it was like constantly being reminded of a bad day at work. Her life just bordered on misery!

The good news is that you're now on to the greatest season of television history.
