this season was a disappointment. the last two episodes were mostly exposition, i already don't like the ~chosen one thing that much and it's especially annoying that it's a guy named caleb, it's a bummer dolores and maeve spent most of the season being adversaries.

they went full "we live in a SOCIETY".

If you told me during the first season of this show it would turn into a low-rent "Terminator" clone, I would have thought you were crazy.

Season one was an interesting exercise in world building and existentialism. Season two was confusing, but had great episodes like "Kitsuya" and the Shogunworld episode. This season was boring and insubstantial.

And HBO wants two more seasons?

they ordered 2 more seasons? well if they did it will be the final 2 seasons most likely based on word of mouth and critics

Season 4 is confirmed:

I read elsewhere there is talk of a fifth, but who knows.

yikes

i have tried 3 times to watch this season's premier and i could not get into it. i watched the prior seasons. i watched recaps to make sure i remember everything. but it was just so not what i wanted or expected. maybe its because i find jeffrey wright's as an annoying and painful person to watch - i just could not watch this. is it worth trying to watch? my brother told me it isnt

[verschreibsel]

Found the first ep boring and pretty much hated every scene without Maeve. So no it did not pick up.

[jocoin1989]

so should the season 2 ending just serve as a series ender?

[lloyd_llewellyn]

They really killed the momentum by having characters break out into the real world so soon. This already felt like a final season. It’s a missed opportunity to not have explored the mythology of the west world and it’s vastness such as shogun world which was a highlight last season. What’s the rush? Has somebody offered the showrunners a Star Wars deal?

[jason_voorhees]

Exactly. I wanted to explore the other parks before the hosts made it to the real world.

[frickinawesome7]

Yes!! The hosts that made it out of their “world” are ones from West World. What all the other ones doing?

[alessar]

Yeah they rushed the entire series. Rather than explain anything they want to get to the SHINY MOMENTS so every episode is so IMPACTFUL.

I blame the GoT influence. Season 1 is leagues ahead of the other ones.

This season was a bore and all the characters annoyed me, except Stubbs who was just trying to do his job the best way he could.

[zodgory]

I had to lowkey laugh when Bernard told him to hold on while he made a stop to go have an emotional scene with [Spoiler (click to open)]Gina Torres. Like, I enjoyed the scene and always like seeing that actor, but I couldn't stop thinking about Stubbs just slowly bleeding in the car the whole time.

[squidlord]

LMAO! This entire episode had me IN STITCHES @ Bernard.

From the car scene, to the hotel scene, to the post-credits scene lol. He really dgaf about Stubbs.

[zodgory]

Lmao, right? Like the lowkey audacity to be all [Spoiler (click to open)]"You're a good friend, Stubbs" when it's like, uhhh, you literally took away his choice by programming him to be your bodyguard, lol
