      @Arkandel: At least with Westworld they're working from established source material. Lost, according to some of the writers, was basically by the seat of their pants and made up as they went.

        I am pretty sure that source material was robots, made for entertainment purposes, start failing in way that include not following their servile scripts. There is the note that they are complex, and weren't completely designed by humans, but there isn't much more suggestion that they seek freewill or some other long term goal. It's simpler and closer to the chaos explanation for Jurassic park. Complex things will break in complex ways.

        I am pretty sure Westworld has handled that part already, and so the mining is done.

          It's a reimagining of another media, which was my point. It has something to pull plot points from, whereas Lost was basically "throw a dart at a plot point on the big wall".

            This movie was the source material for the Simpsons' Episode 4, Season 6: "Itchy & Scratchy Land."

            Michael Crichton wrote and directed the 1973 film Westworld.

            “It is better to live doing the things that you like. It is foolish to live within this dream of a world seeing unpleasantness and doing only things that you do not like.” -- Yamamoto Tsunetomo.

              You're the Worst (FX)

              A surprisingly sharp, witty, and dark take on romantic comedies. Best one liners, awesome side characters, and all around solid writing. I love this show; also has the best depiction of PTSD and depression I have seen in a series.

                @Cadi I like this, too. It fills my comedy needs alongside Brooklyn 9-9

                  I have all the ❤ ❤ ❤ in the world for Brooklyn 9-9. It's my go-to decompresser show after a long day at the moment. Also, Gina is my spirit animal.

                            I don't want to spoil and I don't think we have a spoiler tag here? It's something I've been looking forward to with it since Season 1.

                              They totally went wrong with it, IMO, but whatever. Fine.

                                @Bobotron Did I miss an episode? I thought this week's was a re-run.

                                Also, anyone else watching Pitch? It's pretty amazing.

                                          I was really pleased with the episode overall. I am still not totally sold on this version of Mon'el but it's growing on me. And the J'onn and M'gann angle has been interesting.

                                            So I watched my first episode of Flash today. Because Supergirl. Crossover is fun so far even if the "4 night event" was a little disingenuous of the advertising.

                                            I'm a rodeo clown.
