I love this show so far, it's like a movie more so than a show.   Harris is amazing, as usual.  Hopkins brings the weird and Wood is fantastic.   Everyone else is good as well.   LOL @ someone saying this is copying Hunger Games.  There have been movies where they look down on people for decades, it's nothing new.  Running Man?   Truman Show (which had Harris actually) ?   The production value of this show is fantastic.   Obviously Dolares knows what is going on and Harris may be out to get revenge on all the hosts, maybe from the 30 years ago event (since he mentioned he's been coming for 30 years).

Harris plays a great bad guy.  This reminds me of his role in "A History of Violence", if you haven't seen that, please, fast.

I was saying the table with the map is a ripoff of Hunger Games.  

 

2ND episode is better but.  Would like one episode of someone just going through the program without the mystery. Should have been the pilot episode.  

And we're saying the Hunger Games didn't invent a map like that.

What a crazy concept. 

It's amazing what these machines deal with, the stuff they see, constant suffering.  They are really building that point up quickly so the audience understands and emphasizes with the robots. I wonder how/if the writers will try to change our opinion throughout the show. I see tons of twists and turns as well as multiple story lines being introduced. I also liked how they described the experience as "in this world, you find out who YOU are".  Basically letting your true feelings and passions come out. This will certainly probably bring out some interesting characters each week. 

In episode 2, when that guy was getting his orientation, and that super hot chick wearing all white started to  seduce him, I had a hard time keeping my poker face on in front of the wife, lol.

This would be what life would be like in the real world with no laws. With no inhibitions/repercussions things would get crazy quick.

Okay, here is my guess on what is going on...

 

 We are only 3 episodes in and they are already giving us multiple timelines.  Everything isn't present day.  We are being shown present day and approximately 30 years ago.  Man in Black actually wears a White Cowboy hat when he took his first visit with his buddy.  So William with the white hat....is the Man in Black in his youth.   Easy to get away with multiple time lines given most of the "cast" are rebots that never age.

JJ from LOST has ties to this show

Hadn't read the book or seen the old one.

 

As far as I know there was never a book, it was more of a script. It was Micheal Crichton's first movie. You may know his work for Jurrasic Park.

Liked the pilot but I always say shows built around huge mysteries can get left really quick if the mystery is not worth it in the end..or the plot gets too nonsensical

 

This seemed the weakest part of the plot to me and considering it is being directed by JJ Abhrams. It stinks a lot of all his worst qualities, the build-up of some Great Mystery that he either fails to explain or explains in a colossally disappointing fashion. He did it on ALIAS. He did it on LOST. The "Mystery" is his Achilles Heel.

The Man in Black (Ed Harris) is a Virus. That's my guess.

She had one of the more telling lines in the entire series in my opinion. When asked if she was real - "If you can't tell then does it really matter?"

 

I am really enjoying this show, great acting, and the production is done very well done. I'm hooked so far.

Not sure how to use spoiler tags on mobile.  Sorry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Dolares shots the man in the barn, she pictures the man in black before she can pull the trigger.  Then she gets on a horse and runs into man in white hat.  I was thinking the same until that scene.

      2025 Mock Drafts

      By Basbear · Posted

      Steal of the century with Nolen at 57. It didn't stop there either. I know you cannot fill all the needs/wants, WR was just never in the cards. Since it felt fantasy I drafted a Clemson player.... I feel less than 2% chance walker makes it to 8th, he along with jenty are the start of tier 2.  I'd trade yosh for future late rounder since Emery Jones is the RT of the future. Or wait until TC injuries hit OT, yosh should have a little trade value.  2026 this draft could yield 5-7 starters if the lotto is real.....

      Mock NY TIMES PICK FOR 8. ESPN first Rd1 and 2. NFL.com Ideal 2 picks

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Ny Times           Jaylin Walker to Raiders   8. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, edge, Georgia The second Georgia player to go in the top 10, Williams was injured in the 2024 opener against Clemson and didn’t get to play much in the first half of last season. But he was back for a big game at Texas in October and gave UT fits, notching two sacks. He had two more sacks against the Longhorns in the SEC title game. The 6-5, 260-pounder has 34 1/2-inch arms with potential that makes D-line coaches giddy. “He was banged up a lot this year, but when he was close to 100 percent, he’s super twitchy,” an SEC tight ends coach said. “He’s a freak.” He’ll boost a Carolina team that had the worst pass rush in the league. “He’s more of the traditional defensive end guy than Walker,” said an SEC O-line coach who was really impressed by both Georgia players. “He can either be that 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 end. He has real pass rush ability. I think he’s an elite edge rusher. He’s great chasing from behind, and he can play the run well enough.”   ESPN Rd 1 8. Carolina Panthers Jalon Walker, Edge/LB, Georgia The Panthers have made a series of edge rusher investments over the past two years, but none has massively moved the needle. The Panthers -- who allowed the most yards per play (6.0) and tied for the third-fewest sacks (32) last season -- could truly address their need in the top 10, though. Walker had 6.5 sacks in 2024 even though he spent a lot of his time patrolling the middle of the field at off-ball linebacker. Carolina could deploy Walker in a hybrid role since it needs a boost at both linebacker and edge rusher.   rd 2  57. Carolina Panthers (via LAR) Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State At 5-foot-10 and 194 pounds, Noel might be a better fit in the slot than outside. But he has serious explosion, averaging 14.9 yards per catch last season en route to 1,194 yards and eight scores. Noel could join Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker to form an intriguing young WR corps.   NFL.COM. IDEAL FIRST 2 picks Round 1: No. 8 overall: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State Round 2: No. 57 overall: Kevin Winston Jr. S, Penn State The Panthers might have bigger needs on their roster than at tight end, but they are unlikely to find a more impactful player on offense than Warren. His presence as a safety valve and red-zone threat would aid Bryce Young's progression as a third-year starter. In this scenario, they take Winston -- a rangy, secure tackler -- to play beside free-agent pick-up Tre'von Moehrig. By taking two prospects from the same school with their first two picks, they follow the lead of the Rams (who actually traded Carolina this year's 57th overall pick as part of the process of pairing Jared Verse and Braden Fiske of Florida State) and Jaguars (who took Brian Thomas Jr. and Maason Smith out of LSU) last year.
