I watched half of the first episode, and it's a giant yawn so far. Does it get better after that, or is it more of the same?

They are going the Lost or Inception route. So many realities, dreams or wtf. Plots inside of plots inside of plots and in the end nobody will give a shit because it's so convoluted and will make no sense.

I'll watch one more episode and then decide. I'd rather follow Into the Badlands.

It got to me a bit too but I noticed that those moments seemed like they had to do with the Hosts’ memories. I chalked it up to having their memories wiped so frequently. Like an old magnetic tape cassette that you recorded over multiple times.

It seems more appropriate in that light.

I think they are setting up at least 2 different time lines again this season, how did Bernard wake up on a beach and also find himself with Hale inside the stable after the hosts went nuts at the part? I think those are 2 different parks.

Bernard "woke up" on the beach two weeks after the massacre. He's fully aware that he's a host, but nobody else knows. Or if they do, they're keeping it fully under wraps.

I can understand the stuff, I just don't care to get that deep when with the series. But I get the sense of a "little bitchy girl" coming out and and crying every time somebody doesn't like what they like and insinuating with off the cuff insults. I don't think they are as smart as they think they are at that point. Buttercups gonna buttercup though...

Its understandable that YOU might feel that way. Not everyone has the intelligence and/or attention span to understand a plot more sophisticated than 'Ow my balls!' You should probably save your time and throw in the towel now because I really don't see them dumbing things down.

If you would have just said YOU didn't understand/think it made sense then I wouldn't have said anything. However, when you make idiotic comments like "nobody" understands then you're probably going to be called on it. If that causes you to get butt hurt, which apparently it does, then perhaps you should try avoiding making similar comments in the future.

Watching last night, I was wondering about the interplay between Maeve and Hector Escaton. There was a lot of touchy-feely, kissy-kissy going on. Do the hosts actually feel pleasure from intercourse? Or are they responding because they've been programmed to respond? I noticed in the finale of last season that Maeve, when she was reprogramming them via the tech's tablet that she was able to turn their pain sensitivity down. I wonder if they have pleasure receptors (in the likely places), and can they be turned up or down at will? Because I would die a happy man if I could be the meat in a Maeve/Armistice sandwich, but if they weren't getting anything out of it, it would probably make it just a ho hum experience.

What are we arguing about? Since you apprantly forgot: you posted that "nobody" understands/can make sense of it. I pointed out that YOU might have trouble understanding, but that's certainly not the case for everyone. This caused you to get butthurt and start using laughably bad insults like "you are still mad your girl lost." I pointed out you knew you didn't have a legit argument so you're just flinging shit to walls hoping something will stick and here we are.

Since you can't have an argument based on the facts and are instead just using generic insults to move the focus away from your original comment that started all of this I'm done arguing with you about it. Feel free to keep making an ass of yourself though. It is kinda funny.

Sure didn't take long for MIB's right arm to heal up, seeing how Delores either broke it or dislocated it less than 24 hours before he made his appearance in S2 E1.

Guess the writers thought surviving the robot apocalypse with only one usable arm would be a little far fetched.

In one of the lab scenes they talked about an "adrenal emulator". So they have may have other hormonal emulators as well that simulate (stimulate?) artificial pleasure centers.

Seems like something Arthur would account for. He was the Geppetto trying to create a "real boy".

On in the other hand they showed a few times a lab scene with some naked people 69ing in a bed and a whore with a client. Which looked a lot more like training than anything else. The hosts or at least some seem to be multi use. Hector is a major plot element in a narrative but he's also there for guests to bang whenever they want.

My guess is they have some kind of chemical emulator to give positive and negative feedback and generate an adequate looking response (like pain) but as they get to or close to the Center of the Maze they get something that satisfies them internally. Maeve probably gets more out of Hector than he gets from her.

I think ya'll are making this way too complicated.

The droids are built in the creator's image. They feel pain acutely. Both emotional and physical. They feel fear. This was necessary to facilitate their development into consciousness.

If they don't actually feel it then they simulate it well enough to make no difference. But I submit they do, otherwise they wouldn't have developed consciousness. "When you're in pain is when you're most real."

Pleasure and pain are very closely related. It's reasonable to conclude that if they feel one they feel the other.

For the folks saying S2 E1 was meh, I somewhat agree, but only because I expected S2 to be a continuation of S1. It's not. It's a different show now. S1 revolved around the park and how it worked, which was a facade over the real plot. Well, in S2 that facade is removed and the show really isn't about the park, West World, anymore...at all. To me the show went from quasi western genre to 100% futuristic sci-fi genre. As long as I approach it from that perspective, I can really enjoy it.

TLDR version: S2 of West World is more like Jurassic Park: Lost World than it is like S1 of West World.

I can't figure out if the security/purge team knows Bernard is a Host or not, part of me wants to say they already know but are trying to act like they dont know until they get what they want from him, they were acting very suspicious and cautious around him, no one asked like how did you survive the last 11 days or what happened to him. On the other hand the whole situation is a complete shitshow so maybe they don't.

I also still 110% want to drop a nut in Thandie Newtons butt. I remember her from one of the Riddick movies as Karl Urban's lady.

To me the show went from quasi western genre to 100% futuristic sci-fi genre. As long as I approach it from that perspective, I can really enjoy it.

In multiple interviews they said Season 1 was going to be a lot different than following seasons. It was almost like a prequil to setup where they want to take the rest of the series.

is this not a plot hole?

up until the end of season 1, the weapons the hosts used fired blanks (or something that would not harm the guests). now all of the sudden, the hosts turn hostile and theyre shooting real bullets.

They said something about the hosts reading the guests as other hosts.

No its never explained how the guns/bullets work but they clearly are firing some sort of projectile, really its just a macguffin in that it doesn't need to be explained HOW it works it just needs to work. They clearly said something along the lines of "they must have disabled the security on the guns/bullets" or "they programmed the gun to read everyone as hosts" dont remember exactly but it was something along those lines

Normal Westworld rules: guns do not harm humans but have some small impact like a paintball or rubber bullet, guns harm objects, guns harm hosts

Safety rules disabled: guns harm everything

I should have rematched Season 1. The season 2 premier was confusing after such a long break.

To me it seems to be more about the autonomy of the hosts, so I wouldn't get too hung up on the mechanics. It's obvious the technology level is far beyond what we are familiar with. In Season 1, people go to the parks knowing that the hosts can't hurt you, it's a selling point of the fantasy. Now, it's not just that the hosts can hurt you, it's that they WANT to hurt you, and take pleasure in doing so in the cruelest fashion. Not unlike how the guests visited these cruelties on the hosts for so long. Payback's a bitch.

You should have taken advantage of the marathons of Season 1 episodes they ran for the week prior to the Season 2 premiere. I knew I was going to have trouble remembering a lot of the nuances and plot issues due to the long break so I watched a couple of the later Season 1 episodes, but I still had a little brain fog for the first episode of Season 2.

More or less. The hosts are incapable of truly harming a human, even though Logan (young William/MIB's boss) got pretty roughed up by both the Union troops and the Confederales in Season 1. If they've been reprogrammed to view all the guests as fellow hosts, then the safety rules are still in place - they're just not applicable at this particular moment.
