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 http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/08/11/ed-harris-westworld/ Image Credit: WireImage.com 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. |

I now officially look forward to this show more so than I do Walking Dead.
This was a great episode. Getting closer to figuring out what the hell is really going on here. |

Just started watching it. At the 07:04 mark The Gunslinger (Yul Brynner) is standing against the wall, visible past Bernard's right shoulder.

I'm about 45 mins into it. Wow, lol, shit just got real. Also: Ford and Bernard just confirmed that 'first generation' hosts are potentially not substantially different from hosts in the 'present'. Unless first generation hosts existing in the 'present' are dramatically more complex due to hardware/software/firmware/wetware improvements over the years, this makes the multiple timelines theory more possible. I still don't like it because that's a cheap storytelling trick. |

It's in the scene where Ford is looking at the notebook and sees drawings of Dolores, the maze, and the device for creating hosts.

Also: I'm not sure if the 'Wyatt' events really happened or if they are just created memories for Teddy and the other hosts. It would be the same either way but Ed Harris seems to have no knowledge of those events at all-and he would if it was a story that was ever actually played out at some point.

I have been watching the review videos on YouTube through the week after the episode sinks in and I start getting antsy for the next one. There are some decent ones out there.

After last night the thought kept sticking in my head that Arnold achieved sentient AI through transfer of consciousness but (some major plot point) caused him to inhabit the computer systems of the park rather than a host.
