Seems like a bit of a flawed plot-point.

If you knew all the robots only had spud guns you'd remove the excitement for those visitors who really wanted to live out their wildest fantasies.

I thought it was excellent, can't wait for the next episode.

Even my wife liked it and she hates scifi.

This article is pretty interesting http://www.slashfilm.com/westworld-logistical-ques..., it seems they've thought about most things even if they're never going to mention how they work in the series itself. But basically, an extensive contract/release form before entering the park as obviously it's not risk free.

On another note entirely, I found the dialogue pretty hard to hear at times and I never normally have an issue with that. Tried it through the TV, the Home Theatre and my iPad and it seemed equally bad on all 3.

What's the 'thing' with the flies - or is it just a coincidence (surely not)?

It was a way of showing who the androids were and that they couldn't kill any living thing.

Obvious now once you put it that way! Although the last scene....!!

Ed Harris - possibly a disgruntled employee/guest?

There seemed to be lots of subtext being spoken - like others have mentioned it seemed to be mildly garbled, probably on purpose... A lot of double/triple meanings to a lot of things being said - well worth a second viewing (and possibly third!). And then the 'bigger picture' chat... potential bombshell right there!

Red door? Paint it black!

I watched the original movie - there is a lot of homages to it in the series. But then quite a few differences as well (obviously).

Standard HBO. Even now, after many viewings, I still see new stuff in the Sopranos.

Watched it last night.

As someone who doesn't think too much into films/series etc, is this pretty much "the truman show" but with a western theme and multiple personalities?

On second viewing, alone, it was much more enjoyable but as said, I had to pause and rewind for some of the dialogue. Nolan must of had lessons from his brother re Interstellar.

I was going to switch subtitles on for a second viewing but couldn't access them via Sky Go. Will try again tonight through the Sky box itself.

My daughter always switches on sub titles for what ever series she is watching. Used to annoy me until I realised how much more I got out of any scene with a lot of dialogue.

Makes me wonder if that's part of elevates some foreign shows.

It was pretty much essential for the first series of True Detective

Yeah I was the same - a real "woah! Uh oh!" moment. Perfect.

Wouldn't it be a nice twist if she turned out to be the chief villain.

I wouldn't be too surprised - 1 of the oldest hosts and I guess a lot of previous roles hiding away in her head somewhere!
