I am at an impasse with this season. Overall I enjoy it, but it jumps around so much. Last episode I felt was too long for a flashback. It was almost the whole episode. Are we going to get flashbacks of all the AIs becoming self-aware now? What is the purpose of this character's elongated flashback? Does it hold a key to something more? I also feel the AIs are too smart. They have been outsmarting and killing all the special ops groups at a record pace. I don't know, it feels too unrealistic to me. Then again, perhaps this was Ford's whole hidden plan and this is working out exactly how Ford wanted. I re-watched and beyond anticipated every episode of season 1. Season 2, I have not done this with many of the episodes.

Well, Ford is alive in the system and now Bernard. To meit stands to reason that everything he know's/his memories are accessible to all the hosts able to access the system. Therefore they would be a step ahead of the Ops guys.He knew the protocols in place plus he also knew what, Hale & the Board were up to. The FB was a little much in some ways I agree, but it did fill a couple holes I thought.

Another great episode!!! Does anyone know if there is a pre=determined story/series plan in place for this show? Like 5-6 season's and the series finale? or are they just writing to the ratings, so to speak? Just curious. It would seem to me that the show should have a thought out story and conclusion in place. JMHO
I LOVE this show!!!!

That episode was an amazing tragedy. Loved it
As for your question, I remember reading that the creators had a predetermined idea and story line of like 5-6 seasons and that was it. I am hoping that holds true. So many great shows ended poorly and lost "special treatment" when they have continued to spew out season after season diluting the quality for money and ratings.

I found this Bill:
It wasn't about getting the first 10 [episodes] done, it was about mapping out what the next 5 or 6 years are going to be. We wanted everything in line so that when the very last episode airs and we have our show finale, five or seven years down the line, we knew how it was going to end the first season -- that's the way Jonah and J.J. Abrams operate. They're making sure all the ducks are in the row.

Thanks for that my friend. That is very good news indeed. Like you said so many shows amble on as a slave to the ratings and we suffer. I wish more shows adopted this strategy and more networks gave them the chance to see it through. I have to admit, it made me smile with that, Abrams quote. lol How soon he put "Lost" behind him, huh? Though that is a good example of what I am talking about. lol

When the trailer came on after GOT, I was like, "This show looks great, what is it!?" and then boom, Evan Rachel Wood and the Westworld logo. Well played, HBO.

Finally finished season 2. I'm very impressed. Maybe I wouldn't dig the flashbacks had I been watching this weekly, but they weren't a big deal to me. I think they were supposed to show us that's what it's like to be a host, "Is this a dream?", you know?
I hate this 2 year waiting period shit. I've noticed starting to become a trend with certain shows.
Looking Good!!!!!!
VERY interesting trailer, no?
Oh, Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's it. That was the only thing this show was missing. A little Guns & Roses, man!!!! G&R!!!

Looking forward to seeing Aaron Paul in this. I haven't really seen him in anything but Breaking Bad, and am interested to see him in another role with some meat to it.
(I just recently saw him in El Camino and think he did a fine job)
