I watched the first episode of Westworld. Overall, I think I like Ed Harris better in Appaloosa. Costume didn't change much though. Also, Appaloosa has Vigo with killer facial hair.
Wow, I just started this too! I watched the 2 hr ep 01 Monday night and fell asleep halfway through. Finished watching it last night and started ep 2 and promptly fell asleep. Not a commentary on the show just my lousy sleep habits and kid's new school schedule has me all wacked out. So far it seems cool, I'm just waiting for the robots to take over, right? Or for everyone to turn out to be a robot? Its like BSG meets Firefly.

He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
