I know nothing about this but sure seems like some folks are pretty excited about it. I'm in, don't know what I'm watching though.
They're portraying him as a human, though. He says he's been coming for 30 years, and the bullets don't hurt him, just like with the humans. He may end up being a robot, but that would be a twist at this point.I watched it also and I agree on the Ed Harris character. It's like he has free reign to do anything as a robot but not sure what he's really up to.

I don't know. They're making veiled references to a bigger mystery than I would have guessed this story would have contained. The conversation between the writer and the director of the park mentioned management's goals differing from the customers' or shareholders' goals. And of course Ed Harris's character said something about a "deeper game," and the scalp he took had some kind of map on it.Yup. Pretty sure he is human. Maybe he is working for a rival company? Or maybe he has an ax to grind against the company that owns WW?
Thought it was badass, then I faded for the last 20 minutes.Yup. Pretty sure he is human. Maybe he is working for a rival company? Or maybe he has an ax to grind against the company that owns WW?

Still not sure who's human and who's not. Thought (OSU's own) James Marsden was a human until the Gunslinger shot him.
Really happy to be out of my show hole.
I'm thinking that Ed Harris's character is human.
The scene with Anthony Hopkins where he's talking to the original cowboy, "Old Bill" and discussing with the chief programmer how far they've come from the "originals" to the current state of their animatronic characters is the clue I focused on. It would indicate that if Harris were machine and around for 30 yrs, that he would not be nearly as "finessed" in finish and character as he appears to be. (He would be more "obviously" machine as Hopkins pointed out that their earlier efforts did not really fool people.) Hopkins also seemed to indicate that they had "retired" all of their old tech and he kept the cowboy around for old times sake.
I'm thinking that Harris is part of their "quality control" who enjoys playing the part and who is tasked with testing the park's "hosts" in ways that may be unique or unexpected in order to judge their responses. We know that the story-lines are created and written in a way that could play out in likely thousands (millions?) of ways depending upon what actions the visitors take. Thus, there would be a strong necessity of continuously testing the "hosts" to see how they respond to unexpected happenings or events.
I freeze-framed that scalp, and it's a human figure inside a maze. There's a real-life shot of the same thing in the previews of upcoming weeks. A woman lying in a large field of dirt with a maze carved into the dirt.My guess is that Harris is working for a competing company and attempting to steal the technology for them. He scalped the gambler host. The underside of the scalp appeared to have a built in circuit board.
Did not know that.

Not sure what to think about it. It did make me wish we had a top notch western on TV.
Cancelling Deadwood was HBO biggest mistake.
One thing I was wondering about, that has not yet been revealed. Wouldn't someone miss "Kissy" the host that Ed O'neil scalped? It doesn't make sense that they can pick up on tiny little inconsistencies and recognize that a host is malfunctioning, yet one would go missing (or turn up scalped) and no one would miss him.
Time to anoint this the replacement to GOT, or should I hold off before watching the 1st episode?
What?!? There are only 2 episodes out??
No thank you...not today.
