To answer the question: Yes, Westworld (Nolan and Joy) just pulled another “Lost”. In science fiction you only get one ‘gimme’. That’s the observation of Asimov and Clarke. And I’ve never seen it falsified. The episodes varied between overly concentrated and too calm, and overly dense and too disjointed to suspend disbelief. the heaven (door) and the indians jumping off the cliff was weak. the reversal of the two women was cunning. the closure with the man in black was … lame. It would have been better to have him discover he’d already been replaced successfully and be happy with his success at transformation. I bet I know why these failures too – Nolan handed over writing to Joy and she handed over direction to women. Men create models, women create experiences. And only models survive tests in reality. Single authors create worlds. Multiple authors violate them.
