Most of the actors are wearing wigs. Do you really think those kids of those hair styles in real life? Or the actress who plays Mom Wheeler?
Here's a promo shot of actor Noah Schnapp, sans the 80s-era bangs of Will Byers:

I for one was annoyed when I first started watching Season 4, but it surprisingly got a lot better by the end AND it showed that they had put some thought into the full story arc of all 5 seasons. So what you're seeing in Season 1 is just the beginning of the story. I for one was glad I finished S4 and am looking forward to S5.
This season definitely leaned hard into the bully tropes, all the way from the mean girls (FAFO - finally got clocked at the skate rink) to the bullies in the lab (#2 and the other mean powerful kids); and yes, right down to the jock and his mindless followers.
It was too much, kind of annoying, but that jock character basically was the figurehead for all (most) of the population of Hawkings. Take the newsclips in the finale episode talking about the satanic cults. And how about those feckless Hawkins cops that did nothing to stop the fear mongering.
While it was painful to watch, it was good to include it for the younger watchers so they can hopefully learn to avoid those boneheads in school. If you don't give them the power of following them, they can't thrive.
Jesus Christ, spoilers much?
And don't give me any of that "you shouldn't be here if you didn't see the film" bullshit, I'm hear to find out why (see your title).
It's completely different. For one thing, GoT had GRRM with them on the scripts (Crichton is long dead), who promised he would get the last book done "any year now", but never did (still hasn't).
This show is based off of a single completed book and deviated from it (and the 70s film) right from the beginning. It was clear in the first season they weren't just following the source material.
And as R_Kane said above, the show was planned as a 5 year story from its inception, which means they could very well have had a 5-year story arc already written up (which is not unusual with series pitches these days), in at least a skeleton form.
AND more to the point (of this thread title), they probably knew from the get-go that the story wasn't going to stay in the park. I for one am glad it didn't.
^ This.
He's talked like this for a long while, though it's certainly gotten more pronounced in his last few performances (True Grit, yes, and also Hell or High Water).
Someone on one of these movie boards who claimed he was doctor in the area of dentistry (orthodontics or something, I don't remember) who said that it's something Bridges has had for a long time.
I noticed that the actor playing the younger Dan Chace was doing a good job with way he moved his mouth (even when not speaking, he was doing that thing that Jeff Bridges sometimes does with his mouth).
Sorry, no. If they had stayed in the parks, it would be a really stale show by now.
Going out into the world was inevitable and was possibly even in Ford's design (perhaps even those of Arnold Weber).
Westworld isn't about the parks or the host technology / renegade robots—it's about humans first and foremost, their evolution in ways far beyond behavior found in the parks. And it's also a story of the host AI evolution, which obviously had to go somewhere else (out of the park) after the events of S1.
Christina's roomy is in no way a normal human or host. Hale would have placed someone there very specifically (and yes, someone not having her story written by Christina). If it turns out that she's an outlier, I'm going to be disappointed (or maybe that would just point out how defective Hale is in her ire and demented stated, starting with the death of her family last season, as we see from continued scratching / disfigurement in S4/E5).
There was. See the other threads in this group about the time-line not being clear. And besides, it was a personal relationship--there was no sex. There was no skeezy.
