Really amazing series and I am enjoying it thoroughly. The moral questions raised are really how it would be like in real life... you can see that is brings out the extreme sides to every person, whether that be the psychopaths, sociopaths, or repressed do-gooders. The fact that all of the hosts look so real means that the more guests indulge in those fantasies, the more twisted and broken they become. As would many of us.
Things such as this (in whatever form it takes) where history is re-created for our amusement could well turn into a reality a few centuries from now. Imagine living as a medieval king, or a Roman centurion, or, well anything...
Roll on the holodecks!
getting stupider by the episode, it seems.
why are those techs so blackmailed by the host when they could just turn her off and wipe her? how rubbish are the Army at tying knots? and some guy taking a p*** all over the main floor/hologram device? really?
The virgin tech had a clear chance to turn all of her attributes down to 0 (as the abusive tech was signalling him to with his eyes)... instead he turned it right up to max. It was clearly intentional and the virgin tech has serious psychological issues. He is infatuated with the female hosts, sees them as somehow real and wants to see what happens.
As for the army and crappy knots, it's perfectly feasible they are programmed to intentionally make it easy for guests to escape should they get caught in that situation. Can you imagine a guest being tied up for days? No, me neither.
The guy taking a pee on the main floor is just an EPIC douchebag with an ego the size of Wales who just spent months working on a storyline that Hopkins shot down in 30 seconds. His reaction was to get wasted and show them he doesn't give a ****.
If you can't figure any of that out then I suggest you switch over to some less mentally taxing shows.
