[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 851172, member: 78686"] 1. I don't think there was too much blalabla in fact there should've been more for a better understanding of the story but since Netflix follows a 8 episodes model they had to up the pace in last few episodes. Even The Witcher game has a lot of dialogues, side stories for which the game is popular. The gameplay is pretty generic so telling stories of some characters was important for the show. Many gamers didn't play the game because they wanted less dialogue and more actions. I would take storytelling over actions any day. 2. That's what is called nonlinear story telling. It's quite common nowadays and I think Quentin Tarantino made it popular with his first film Reservoir Dogs then did the same with Pulp Fiction. David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Alejandro Inarritu, etc many directors have done it with their films. The show Westworld would be quite boring if it was done in a linear fashion so I when done right, I actually like this method. You wonder about the timeline throughout the show and then everything makes sense in the last episode. It gives you a different kind of satisfaction. Anyway, it's obvious that those who played the games, read the books would understand the show better but from a neutral point of view the thing I can criticize about is the pacing which was rushed at the end and I hope they would do a better job with the second season.
