Ed Harris takes Top villain role in HBOs "Westworld" reboot
Sweet. Loved this film when I was a kid. It's ripe for a reboot.

Doesn't sound like he's playing the Yul Brenner role though

Ed Harris is coming to series TV: The Abyss and Apollo 13 actor has signed on as the Big Bad in HBO’s Westworld reboot.
The four-time Oscar nominee’s character is called The Man in Black, and is described as “the distillation of pure villainy into one man.” He joins previously cast star — and fellow series television newcomer—Anthony Hopkins, along with Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, and Shannon Woodward.

The Warner Bros.-produced sci-fi pilot produced by J.J Abrams, Jerry Weintraub, and Bryan Burk updates Michael Crichton’s 1973 classic film about a theme park where androids fulfill dark human desires. Harris’ description might sound like he’s playing the Yul Brynner killer-cowboy robot role, but it seems like actor Rodrigo Santoro was tapped for that part—and online production rumors suggest The Man in Black is actually a human character who sadistically abuses the androids.

Harris will soon be seen the feature film Run All Night, starring opposite Liam Neeson and Joel Kinnaman. Harris won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy for his work in HBO’s Game Change.

great episode.......

Clearly they have been trying to make humans by transfer of memory. But it's not working, this was the "MAN IN BLACKS" big idea. However it looks like he has realized it will never work. Meanwhile he has come to the conclusion that the HOSTS are the next step like Ford came to realize.

The man in black is a pure badass, the introduction of his daughter really makes things interesting and the stakes real.

Well, looks like they were just ****ing around for the first few episodes and shit just got real. That was some seriously engaging stuff. That scene with the MIB sitting at the table while it was raining outside...that was pretty much pure old school Western perfection.

Finally watched the episode last night, one of the best so far in the show's short life. Lot's of payoffs.

The question, who's control chip did Bernard create and take before offing the entire staff of lab techs? And is the same Bernard we saw in this episode the same Bernard we saw in the first episode with the time jump to then end?

my theory is Ford is going to end up being alive in another host body or something similar, having perfected what they where trying to do with Delos

It would be more fun if it wasn't perfected and this season was about the MIB doing psychological battle with a slowly degrading Ford in a host body as they both teeter on the edge of madness.

I'm guessing since they've been collecting dna and experiences of guests who are mostly wealthy powerful people, the end game plan by William and Delos was to eventually replace those people with identical hosts and take control of nearly everything in the real world. From the statements the MIB has been making, seems he's had a change of heart and now he's looking to correct his biggest mistake. Step one was terminating Delos eventual resurrection.

I think so too. Further, regardless of whether or not they know about Jim Delos' immortality board, the Delos company replacements wouldn't have the problem of being unable to accept their reality since they'd just be programmed as hosts. They do the company's bidding and get "disappeared" once their purpose has been fulfilled.

What I wanna know is if Ford had the inkling the company would do such a thing when he realized the implications of having extremely life-like automatons and did he have some sort of countermeasure in mind. Just typing this out now makes me think he knew such a move would come, and this is the point of the "maze" and having hosts gain their own sapience.

I guess the conflicts shaking out are Ford vs the Delos Board, William vs Ford, William vs the Delos Board, Maeve vs Dolores and Dolores vs everyone.

Bernard is probably a tool of Ford in some way, maybe..

Man, the last couple episodes have been fantastic. Shogun world is badass, but I wonder about the practicality of it. It's one thing for Joe Schmo guest to be able to shoot cowboys from afar, but to engage in martial combat with samurai and ninjas without formal training seems like a pretty unrealistic experience. Sizemore's statement about it being for people who feel Westworld is too tame lends itself to a very small clientele.

I think Shogun world as designed was a little less hostile to guests before the positronic revolution occurred.

And yeah, this is one of the very few tv shows worth watching for me right now. I wish Legion could have found a way to tighten up their story telling without constricting their world like WW manages to do.
