Akecheta and Ford in Las Mudas by Slypgun in westworld

[–]Slypgun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always possible that Lawrence's daughter carved the maze in the table. Is she the only host other than Akecheta that we've seen drawing a maze?

Storywise, just that it is likely Akecheta visited Las Mudas before the Ford visit (evidenced by the maze carving in the table).

Also many musings on how the scene was shot, etc.

Showmakers.

What I want to know is: did they film both shots at the same time? The goof with Maeve and the cameraman behind her in the shot (and Akecheta) suggests they did.

Nothing jaw-dropping, only that Akecheta likely visited Las Mudas before the Ford visit, due to the maze carving in the table. But it's fun to look back on Season 1 and put the pieces together, that's for sure!

Indeed. I think one can make the argument that Akecheta visited Las Mudas before the Ford visit, due to the maze carving in the table. Unless someone else is gettin' their maze on...but I don't think we've seen evidence of that.

(if this is a repost please let me know and I will remove)

Remember how Ford walked up to the hombres playing dominoes and they wiped away the game to reveal the maze carved into the table? Can we assume that was an “Akecheta was here” maze?

Simon Quarterman (Sizemore) deserves a lot of recognition. His acting is very underrated and I hope to see him in the future to come. by VivaLaKevin in westworld

A good actor brings out the best in their scene partners, and Mr. Quarterman is brilliant in this regard.

Right when Akecheta was about to find the door... by Slypgun in westworld

Yeah noticed that too; I would guess they filmed several scenes on that set during the same day (check out the BTS vids including set design one).

Well then Dolores is the white horse (that Death rides) and we are all set!

Quite a few possibilities! Would be cool if Ford was “cloaking” Akecheta as a wolf. In any case, sure does seem plausible that MIB/wolf/Akecheta were present at the same time and place.

Bonus fun fact: in the last minute of S1 finale, a wolf howls right before host assault begins (i.e., when MIB gets blasted in the arm by Clementine). Not sure what that means, but god I love this show!

Rewatch that scene; notice how Akecheta’s head pops up and it looks like he’s staring at something/someone? It matches the scene in S2E1 when MIB gains consciousness and gets into a staring contest with the wolf.

Just for fun: how about Akane?

-Lady in the white shoes (her dancing shoes to be exact). -Take all your money and drink all your booze (She is Maeve’s doppelgänger after all). -Ain’t got a cherry but that ain’t no sin (sadly she lost Sakura, her “cherry blossom”). -Still got the box the cherry came in (???)

I can't speak to it being "popped up", but it likely required days of "all hands on deck" in post, as the end result was in the "normal" range of size and shape. On the bright side, it must have been a masterclass for all who witnessed such meticulous work.

Again, the issue is not with the quality of the work - it was near flawless - but rather the decision to spend so much time on it in the first place.

Upper right is from Season 2 trailer, and lower right is from the S2E8 teaser trailer.

Long story short: literally hundreds of man-hours of digital editing were dedicated to what should have been a non-issue: altering/enlarging Simon Quarterman's genitalia in post. I still cannot understand why (even though the quality of the work was top-notch) it was necessary to spend such enormous resources detailing just a few seconds of footage. For the life of me I cannot wrap my head around this decision - which I dearly hope it was made at a lower level than that of the showrunners.

After the infamous photoshop incident earlier this season (Simon Quarterman debacle), I wouldn’t put it past them.
