Loved the original movie.... and now, I love the HBO Series. (started off slow, but picked up and got pretty dam good)
It has been getting great reviews, great ratings, handful of Golden Globe noms and critics awards, so, after season one has ended, when is season 2 of this new hit series slated to be released???
Try, "sometime in 2018."
Yes, this hit series is gone for over a full year.
The main reason released is: "The series is quite difficult to film, what with all the special effects, and takes a great deal more time than a regular series."
BULLSHIT. When HBO or any other company is sitting on a hit series, the ONLY reason production stops is because the lead actors in the series are renegociating their contracts for more money. (happens all the time with hit series) And when the talks go south, actors walk and production stops.
That's probably why they shot Anthony Hopkins in the head on the last episode, as a safety net for the producers, because if they don't settle on a new salary, they can easily write him out of the series.
I'm all for actors getting their due, but they are ruining their own series. A year is a long time, and other networks already have their robo series all lined up ready for release. This time next year, there will be 3 or 4 new robo series out and Westworld won't be as exciting or as original anymore.
Big mistake by the cast of Westworld to squeeze for a raise to the point of non production. I'm sure the execs over at HBO are really pissed at all the money they are losing as well.
But hey, at least we got one good season out of them. See you 'sometime in 2018' for season 2.

Watch the episode when Bernard kills Theresa. The machine behind the glass is creating a new android which might be Hopkins. Only question for me is: was it the android version of Hopkins who got shot in the back of its head in the last episode or was it the real Dr. Ford? If it was the real Ford, then I believe he made an android of himself and implemented his consciousness into it. That guy is a fucking maniac
