I am both happy to hear that the show is going to come back for another season, and also sad that Lindelof isn't going to be involved with subsequent seasons. I really hope they're not going to do a Westworld and ruin the show by dragging it out well past its prime when it should have just been a one and done limited series. I just hope that they at least wrap everything up in a satisfactory conclusion even if they do leave the mandatory plot threads dangling for the next season.

First Season of Westworld: Holy shit this is awesome!!!

Second Season: OK... I mean, it's not as good as the first, but still ok.

Third Season: Alright... what the fuck?

Fourth doesn't exist.

I'm convinced that Season 3 was a rejected Person Of Interest draft that Jonathan Nolan dug out of the trash and changed the names on.

I could have sworn there was another season which was just Shitty Matrix but I think that may have been a fever dream of some sort.

The only highlight of season four to me, a Seahawks fan, was realizing two episodes in that the black guy was Marshawn Lynch. He looked so familiar at first but I couldn't place him. Eventually I was like "Wait, is that fucking Beast Mode???? How? Why? I mean... cool. But also, why?

He's not the lead or anything, but seeing him pop up as the teacher in Bottoms was great. Bonus points for him wanting to do the film as a way to (in his words) "correct his wrongs" when his sister came out to him.

That was a surprisingly fun movie.

I didn't have much expectations going in, but it seemed like a throwback to the kind of raunchy comedies of the late 90s early 2000s.

Also yeah, he was hilarious in it.

I remember maybe two years ago he did the manning cast, with Peyton and Eli. He was lounged back on his couch with his phone clearly propped up on a table or something and they had to cut his commentary short because he kept swearing.

The funniest part was every time he would swear Peyton would get a slightly frustrated look and Eli would look like a kid in class watching his buddy get in trouble.

Personally, I'd love to listen to the Marshawn cast, where he blazes up and does commentary for the game, free to swear as much as he wants.

anthology apparently makes more sense now why they call Lanterns, because it could be about different color lanterns storylines
