Ask Alan: Is the huge ‘Westworld’ cast a problem?

Happy Friday, everybody! It’s a four-question Ask Alan this week, though the fourth one is more or less me calling the bluff of my friend Libby Hill. In terms of actual questions, I get into the glut of time travel series, figure if HBO precedent offers Westworld some insight about how to juggle its enormous cast of characters, and revisit the matter of shows recycling actors in new roles, but through a specific Law & Order/Homicide crossover lens.

As always, you can send questions to askalan@hitfix.com, or tweet at me with the hashtag #askalanday.
