I loved season 1 but skipped 2 due to word of mouth. I hope this is as good as it looks.
This seems the right direction to go. Drop all the terrible ponderous philosophy stuff and just become a dumb live action anime.
I loved Season 1 but dropped Season 2 a few episodes in. Season 1 was so ominous and conspiratorial. Season 2 felt like it became a dumb faction battle show.
I don't think they are dropping all of it but I hope they are leaning a bit more towards Person of Interest style storytelling this season. Balancing out the self seriousness with a bit more tongue and cheek fun. As we saw with GoT HBO lets their show runners have a ton of control but I hope they absorb some of the criticism from last season vs sticking their heads in the sand.If you think they are dropping any of the "ponderous philosophy stuff," then you might be a little disappointed come March 15th.
I'm gonna need one of those because I very much doubt I'll ever be in the mood to rewatch S2.God help whoever has to cut together the Season 2 recap so people remember just what the fuck happened.
This is damn good. Thank you.

It would be nice if the script writers focus on telling a cohesive story this time around instead of making shit up as they go along so they can outsmart internet theorists.
Looks good, but I have concerns about the scope of the show now and the cost and how long it will last now that they've opened it up to the world.
They say it's end game in the trailer, so pretty sure this is the last season
Throw in "Riddle of the Sphinx" too. Two of the more standalone-ish episodes and two of the best of the series.Season 2 was dire but you really should watch episode 8 (Kiksuya) - it's fantastic and is possibly the best episode of the series to date.
Maeve vs Dolores? Yeah, makes no sense. Westworld S1 remains my favorite TV production of all time, but unfortunately it's quality is only valid in isolation. S2 was a convoluted mess.
I thought they said there was a five year outline. I'm sure that could have changed by now though.They say it's end game in the trailer, so pretty sure this is the last season
Didn't Dolores save Maeve's life? Thanks to her intervention she wasn't left for decommission in the park. Regardless of their philosophical differences (Dolores wanted to take control of the park, Maeve just wanted out with her daughter) both of them were subjected to decades of abuse. They might not have a lot in common but to actively want to kill each other? Seems to be a stretch but I realize that giving an opinion based off a trailer is premature.Maeve v. Dolores has clearly been set up since season 1, ever since they drove home the idea that Maeve woke up due to love and Dolores woke up due to hate. They've had clashing ideologies from the beginning.
The sword-wielding Maeve anime shenanigans sure were something.

That was pre-AT&T though wasn't it?
