I'm positive she appeared in Episode 3 in the park itself, although nobody seems to have mentioned it.

Bit slow but just watched episode 1. Effing hell it's a bit dark isn't it? I can see this being a slow burner and taking it's time. I suppose this is due to the commission of a whole series.

Will watch more but just hope that it does not run out of steam.

Does anyone else think we will see the other worlds that were in the movie in future series?

[Watchman]

Ep 4. MiB gives a bit more away about himself, and I have some speculation about Arnold. When is the right time to air that on this thread?

I love this series, even if it is a slow one. Suits me just fine with all the carefully modulated nuances.

I do like the show, but it isn't the fastest moving thing in the world. Yes, we get it, the hosts are having flashbacks and memories of previous experiences. I'm not sure I need yet another hour telling me that...

[popeyewhite]

Thoroughly enjoyed the latest offering, seems to be building nicely. Getting quite dark as well.

[Corso Marche]

Ep 4 revealed quite a few nougats. Still enjoying it. As mentioned above, the subtle "nuances" are key, and I'm enjoying speculating in my own mind where things might go.

After the UK air date I would think! That's tonight.

Indeed.

All the 'oooo stuff is revealed' blather is getting annoying as it used to be in the GoT/TWD thread.

she did, she walks across the front of the screen in one of the flashback scenes dressed in 'old style' clothes

All the people wanting the mayhem to start quick are wishing their lives away. The greatest payoff always comes from a good setup.

The joy of it is the subtlety, production values, references to the original movie (like the guests getting jailed in EP4) and the acting.

I've noticed the people playing the 'hosts' seem to be better actors than some of the supposed humans. In particular the British 'human' narrative creator whose acting was fking terrible. Wonder if it's a sneaky way of planting doubt in our minds as to who exactly are the real 'people' in WW. Or if he was just crap.

The cinematography is also fantastic IMO.

Agreed. Really enjoying the slow burn on this one. Ever since the fly swat in the first ep its been excellent.

Agree with this. So enjoying it taking its time - seeing how things subtly change from episode to episode. Tantalising.

But some people have no patience and just want it to be action action action. This is not really the series for them, I suspect!

Indeed. Makes me laugh, it's like GoT when ppl whinge there are 8 eps of filler. If that's what you think then these shows are not for you, cartoons probably are.

But please leave any references to episodes not aired out.

The criticisms of ep3 on here were not about a lack of action but, amongst other things, a lack of direction and clarity. If anything they were suggesting a slower build up where the overall mechanics of the park and it's inhabitants were put into place prior to any big plot points.

Sorry had no idea, I don't live in the UK. Will remember to check out where you lot are up to. Guessing it must be a few days behind.

And there is a difference between a slow pace due to lots of new information being shown, and slow due to repetition of the same thing over and over again.
