One of the best reactions to the pilot episode of this show! I’m really impressed with how much you two are paying attention to dialogue and detail. It’s really important in this show. Keep it up ladies! You’re in for a crazy mind bending journey!
Yes, Jonathan Nolan is indeed the brother of Christopher Nolan. He also wrote a lot of the stories and scripts for Christopher's movies, so that should give you some idea about how twisty this show will get. He created this show together with his wife Lisa Joy. He previously created a show called Person of Interest, which is very good as well.
You mention Jurassic Park, which was written by Michael Crichton who wrote and directed the 1973 Westworld film that this is of course based upon. Think you'll enjoy the rollercoaster ride this brilliant series serves up!
@@kyuujinreacts Also in the original film, the bad guy was basically a robot that seemed like the man in the black. So the early on the show was playing a prank by making you think the man in the black was the bad robot.
@@gJonii there was an extra level of weird in the original film, because the Man in Black was played by Yul Brynner, in what was clearly supposed to be a reference to his role in The Magnificent Seven, with the implication being that the robot was made by Park staff who were fans of the film.
I don't know anyone who has figured out this much from the first episode. This show requires a lot of attention to keep up but you are going to do just fine.
I'm glad you say this! We're giving it our all, but sometimes, watching this show, I had the impression we were completely lost trying to understand what was going on xD I'm happy to know that we're doing fine ;)
The actresses name is Thandie Newton. I would highly suggest that you don't look up ANY info on the actors because it is sooo easy to get spoiled on this show!
Point of fact, you probably shouldn't even read comments going forward unless you guys get moderators or something. Just like with GOT, there are people who will spoil things intentionally, and people who might spoil things Intentionally by mentioning favorite episodes or characters, give things away that they don't Think are spoiler-y but in fact end up ruining a "OMG" twist kinda moment. So Beware! :))
kill someone who looks SO human--have sex with someone who looks SO human--is that murder? ...is that cheating? *shrugs* ...this show offers FANTASTIC opportunity for debate and discussion!
Not only is it Christoper Nolan's brother, but this is the one who wrote the original short story that turned into the film Memento, which they did together. As for the similarities with Jurassic Park, the original screenplay for the 1970s film Westworld was written by the author of the novel Jurassic Park (and The Andromeda Strain, about a virus pandemic outbreak), Michael Crichton. Oh, and Jonathan Nolan is co-creator of this re-imagining from the original film with his partner, Lisa Joy, who was one of the main room writers for the lovely, quirky, creative series (S01 is a must-see), Pushing Daisies.
Ooh you're right! I forgot about memento!! Such a great movie o.o I had no idea there was so many great minds behind Westworld, but can't say I'm surprised
I love your theorizing. That was definitely the best part of this series--discussions among friends before the next episode. (This being HBO, like Game of Thrones we all had to wait a full week...and then 18 months between seasons. S03 won't come until next year (filming starts next month). I hope you two continue. My favorite episode isn't until S02E08. I've subscribed!
Thank you!! :D all the discussions and theorizing are what made us wanna do reaction videos to begin with ;) we both always enjoyed talking about what's underneath the obvious in stories and where the show is taking us! I'm glad you enjoy it too ;)
@@kyuujinreacts I've already put your GoT S07E01 reaction in my Firefox SpeedDial, so I'll start watching those this week and look forward to you doing it "live" for S08! Eight weeks from today!!!!!
@@kjaime7030 I know!! We're almost there, I can't wait o.o Hope you like our season 7 reactions ;D (it was our first time ever doing this....I like to say we improved...xD)
The head madame of the saloon is played by Thandie Newton. I've been in love with her since she was in "Jefferson in Love," playing the slave Thomas Jefferson took with him to Paris when he was US Ambassador to France--where slavery was already banned, so she was essentially free there and served as his daughters' guardian when he was busy, since his wife had passed away--and ended up having children with her in Virginia. Then Thandie Newton was in the series "E.R." after George Clooney left.
You know I've seen this a million times and never picked up on the paint it black scene was to have a reason to recover multiple hosts to check their updates, and you caught that first shot lol.
Thank you so much for your views. I feel like I’ve seen a large amount of reactors (*cough* pat from the normies *cough*) saying that it doesn’t matter what the humans do to the hosts because they are not real. But ignoring the fact that what makes us see the humanity in each other is our emotions and brains, not the material that makes up our anatomy. The whole point is to ask that moral question, and in my opinion it is fundamentally wrong to harm the hosts in the same way it’s wrong to harm humans.
This show is my favorite after Breaking Bad, par with GoT. I look forward to listen to your ethical and philosophical deliberations (loved them in your GoT reactions).
Awesome reaction Ladies. Discover you two yesterday because of your THoHH reaction and loving your channel already. Have you two seen Lost ? Would sooo LOVE for you two to react to this amazing show.
A great show to get started on, i think it might be one of my absolute favourites, maybe only behind GoT. Enjoy the ride and make sure to watch with subtitles, beacuse while it may not be immediately obvious, but the dialogue gives a LOT of context and hints to what's going on. And just to explain the thing with the guns, the guns are specially designed to have different velocities whether they are shooting at a host or a human, so when shooting humans it's not lethal, more akin to being shot with a paintball or a rubber ball. And yes, Jonathan Nolan is indeed THE Christopher Nolan's brother. He's contributed and co-wrote many of his works.
You brought up Jurassic Park, and you might be interested to know that like the film, this was also based on source material by Michael Crichton. Also yes, Jonathan Nolan is Critopher's brother. He and his wife are the head of the writing team for Westworld.
It's been a while seen we've seen the first season, but if I remember correctly, she knew from the beginning that it was about ai/robots in an amusement park, but that's about it ;)

May I ask if either of you have gotten the chance visit the US? One of my favorite things about this show is the gorgeous panning shots of the American Southwest where my mother lives. Also! My father just spent a week in Paris after retiring this last year; the people of France were very kind and accommodating, he said. I know he had always wanted to visit - and I hope to get to someday as well. I'd love so much to see the beach where my grandfather landed on D-Day in my lifetime, or visit the grounds in Paris where John Adam, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin walked during the first air balloon flight. (I've only been to the northern inland area of France thus far, and it was for work; I had no time to myself to explore.) This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm absolutely subscribing now. I hope you enjoy Westworld!
Thank you!! :D we have been to the U.S many times, but only on the east coast :/ it's actually a dream of mine to visit the west coast one day (to just road trip through it all...*.* ) We're both from Canada (Quebec) but I've been to Paris before as well and it's such a beautiful place, I'm very happy your father enjoyed his time there and I hope you'll get the chance to visit too :D it's worth it!
AI = Something running in a supercomputer = Something running with normal computers that has enough memory, the AI is just experiencing time slower = something running on multiple computers over network = one of the multiple computers just showing the coming input on screen, human doing all the calculations on paper and writing the output to computer, which would slow down the process dramatically, AI would experience time much slower = all computers are just showing the input, humans do the output = remove the network and send letters instead of IP packets over network, again slows down the time, but AI would still work the same. Thus, artificial intelligence cannot become conscious by having lots of computing power. Consciousness is not just state of information in the memory of computer, otherwise we could have that state on books in a library. We can't use physics to describe the important part of consciousness, awareness.
I'm not sure if it's better to have seen the 1973 cinema film (as I have) or not. The film & the "state of the Art" tv series, are going to appeal to 2 VERY different audiences, I prefere the original film which only cost just over a million dollars, less than one episode of this television series would cost. There are some good perhaps clever ideas here- industrial espionage, the old way of doing things v the new, etc BUT I never really cared...enough about the characters (be they human or machine) the programme is often nasty, unecessarily violent, I felt it needed much more of that black comedy aspect seen in the original film, and in something like ROBOCOP

Half brother.
Different mothers.
Jonathan grew up in the US, while Christopher is British born and raised.

omggggg so glad you guys are watching this show. It's so great.
It's been on our watch list for so long now 😅 I see why people kept saying this show was amazing!

Love the post show discussion
Gotta keep things fair for patreon 😅 also, one a week helps make sure I have enough time to edit everything, but we'll get through it ;) thank you!!

This show is a slow burn and you will be confused a lot...that’s normal. Enjoy!
Thanks! XD glad to hear it's normal
13:03 Rodrigo Santoro making Brazil proud! 👏
I was so wrong😂😂 i really thought for sure that Teddy wasn't a part of the park
I really, really, really hope you have friends moderating these so they can delete comments that have spoilers.
No worries ;)
Take notes lol
We should've xD
Your going to need them

I’m guessing the friend on the left has already seen some of the show. She seems to know what is going on

I'm siding with the Hosts on this, it is wrong how they are treated.
