LOL. OK, but I can assure you there are zero spoilers in it. What do you think is more likely? That the showrunners would give Reddit what they want and spoil the whole season, or that they would troll Reddit...

I’m gonna do it. I’m going dark.

I wasn’t happy about how much was spoiled due to the reddit theories last year so I’m avoiding all discussion about this show for the next 10 weeks.

I don’t even think I’m gonna watch right away. Just pvr em all like I’m doing with billions and then binge watch.

God give me strength. I don’t know if I can do this. 34 minutes into the first episode and I already feel like I might crack at any second.

Not much chat in this thread so far this season.

I'm enjoying this season so far, but not nearly as much as season one. Season one just grabbed me right away and was amazing. This year, while I'm still interested, it feels like the mystery is kind of gone or something. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

So far season 2 has been a colossal bore.

That's how I feel as well. The big 'point', I guess, of the series has already been accomplished: host sentience. As were most of the major themes, IMO. Delores/Wyatt's war is just far less interesting to me. And her vagueness about her mission and the outside world is just frustrating and off-putting. I'm starting to just really dislike that character. Teddy could be an interesting character going forward, though.

I'm guessing the information that Hale and Co. are trying to extract from the park has to do with blackmailing guests. Kinda feel they already telegraphed that pretty heavily with the William flashbacks. On that topic, even the switches between timelines seem jarring.

I'm also weary of them expanding the world so much in the second season. Eastworld and Shogunworld seems like slight overkill, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait to see how it plays out.

So far, I don't like the direction it is heading.

I'm liking it better than season 1. At least there's plot direction.

I'm enjoying that it is less of a puzzlebox this season. And the glimpses of the other parks, and the larger world beyond them. Seeing more of this two week gap from the awakening at the gala to when Bernard is picked up on the beach should also be interesting.

Curious...what direction do you feel was lacking in season 1 compared to this season (so far, at least)?

Unless I misinterpreted your comment.

I was lukewarm on this season but after episode 4 I’m all in again. They really sandbagged those first few episodes.

Yup, pulled me right back in, too. Excellent.

Is the idea here that the audience is supposed to be unsure whether or not Bernard is acting in the benefit of the hosts? Or are we just watching a conflict within him?

Definitely the first great episode of the season so far.

There's that conflict, as Bernard recently believed himself to be human, so we don't know where his allegiances lie. We also don't know how deep his programming is and what actions are actually free will.
