    ^ One would think that with the progression of the show so far that unless they have something else up their sleeve (coupled with another disappointing 8 episodes) this should be the final season. Likely it would feature a rag tag group of humans still alive trying to take back the world IMHO

    I thought I read somewhere 5 seasons was what they had in mind. Someone on the last page posted it was renewed for a 4th season.

    I remember reading a rumor that this futuristic season is a simulation within the Westworld world. Meaning, they aren't in the real world...yet. We will see

    Yeah, I could see that. In fact, the idea was germinating in the back of my mind around the 2nd or 3rd episode.

    Well the season finale was interesting. It certainly doesn't seem that this was just a simulation of the real world. It also seems a little hard to believe that one company could really control things (super-intelligent AI or not) like Incite did or that the world would fall into so much chaos just from being notified of this control.

    There were some big deaths in the finale but obviously we will still see the characters in some form (especially for the MIB.) Hopefully it doesn't take another two years to find out.

    I enjoyed it but felt there were some loose ends. What was the purpose of resurrecting Clementine and Hanaryo for a glimpse of the second to last episode and then poof, gone. Lawrence was basically a 5 second currier.
    I don't know. I know a vast amount of people aren't up to standards in the real world, but for the world to fall apart because people learned the truth about themselves seems silly no? Then again, people today were drinking cleaning chemicals, poisoning themselves for cleaning too much, and not being able to cope sitting inside for some time, so I guess the anarchy in the show makes sense .

    It may be important to remember that some sort of disaster/incident occurred that drastically reduced the population and perhaps even the livable area in the world as they know it. It was hinted at several times, but never really explained. That incident plus the limited population makes "Incite" a little more plausible and the subsequent chaos as well.

    Season 3 was good, but the show will never come close to season 1.

    I went back and re-watched the last 3 episodes and things seemed a little more clear. It got a little "wooly" there for a bit, but it still is a great sci-fi in my mind. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the next season. This show is definitely not something for small minds that's for sure. I still think they did an amazing job working a new basis for show from the original film content!!!

    Honestly, I almost feel the show would have been better off just focusing on other themed parks. Yes, some of the themes and stories might end up feeling the same, but I really like the fantastical part of the parks. I really enjoyed the World War II scenes. I don't know, maybe that's just me. I'm not opposed to showing the real world, but it ends up feeling fairly derivative.

    Just finished S3 last night... boy this season was an absolute mess. Disaster might be too strong a word but it doesn't miss it by much.

    Unfocused plot, overuse of macguffins, lame sidequest episodes, wasting Aaron Paul.

    I used to really look forward to new seasons but I honestly could not care less about S4 now.

    Yeah, I kinda felt the same way. My favorite parts were the WWII parts. I would have loved just that.

    The first season was truly special. In hindsight, I feel I would have preferred for them to tell a new story each season with new characters. Seeing a different park would have been interesting. Yes, it may have felt repetitive with the AI learning what they really are etc., but I would take it over what we have gotten since.

    Honestly, unless the trailer for S4 just completely floors me, or if I read rave reviews, I probably won't be watching this week-to-week. I'll wait until all episodes are finished and then watch them when I have nothing else to watch.

    There's just too much good television right now, don't want to spend my Sundays tuning in if its going to be as middling as S3 was.

    Nice. I feel like the show - although still a very entertaining one - has been losing steam season after season. If S4 can reach similar heights to the excellent S1 and not the just OK S2/S3, I'll be very happy.

    In depth explanation of Season 3. Some things are repeated a few times in this video, but it goes through each characters storyline separately.

    I honestly had no idea Ep 1 had premiered already. Guess that shows my hype level

    I'll get to it over the long weekend. Maybe I'll even wait til Monday morning so I can catch the first two ep's back to back.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a show lose steam as fast as Westworld. I think if they could do things over, they would have taken a drastically different crack at season 2, which was a masterpiece compared to season 3. I fear the show has strayed too far from what made it great and that was this detailed, artificial world that was created.

    I felt what would have been great at the end of season 2 would have been the AIs that have transcended and remembered everything "escaped" and then woke up back in Westworld. All that work, all the push, to end up back where they "should" be.
