There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Westworld (season 1) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 03:17, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Re: Template:Westworld, since we'll soon be adding more episode articles, I'm wondering if there's a better way to organize this template? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 23:27, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
I've asked AlexTheWhovian to move Draft:Journey into Night back into the main space, so editors can make further improvements. He does not seem interested. Is someone else willing to move the draft back into main space? There are plenty of sources discussing the episode. Thanks, --- Another Believer ( Talk) 21:32, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
@ AlexTheWhovian, Another Believer, Drovethrughosts, and Rusted AutoParts: I feel like the article is still a while away from being ready to move. I think there are three things that need attention:
Of the three, I'd say the reception section should be the priority. The plot is long, but given the multiple sub-plots and timelines, we can justify a lengthy(-er) plot section. And while a production section might be nice, specific details might be hard to come by. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 06:02, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
I noticed than a hidden note has been added to the summary for "Journey into Night" stating that Ed Harris should be referred to as William rather than the Man in Black as Harris' character is referred to (and maybe even credited as) William rather than the Man in Black.
However, I think this potentially presents a problem: both Harris and Jimmi Simpson are scheduled to appear in future episodes. We obviously cannot refer to them both as William (even though the play the same character) as that is confusing even if they never appear in the same episodes together; I even have reservations about referring to them as "young William" and "(old?) William".
That said, I see two potential solutions. The first is to continue to refer to Harris as the Man in Black. I know this is a little in-universe and possibly even goes against policies but it has the advantage of absolute clarity. The second solution is follow the style of the first season of "True Detective" and insert a divider into the episode summaries. "True Detective" had two main plotlines playing out nearly twenty years apart; unlike "Westworld", the temporal shift was obvious from the start. While the split timeline was a big surprise in the first season of "Westworld", there is no further reason to withhold it here. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 06:19, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Now Reunion (Westworld) has been moved to Draft:Reunion (Westworld), unnecessarily, in my opinion. I've asked to have the page moved back into the main space, if any other editors care to weigh in on the discussion, and of course, improvements to the draft are welcome. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 14:43, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
I suggest we should put main cast's names in the order as they're shown in title sequence, as all other articles about seasons do 2601:646:8900:4A21:3C09:F0DB:AE95:B59F ( talk) 09:54, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
