its great, but not better than Ed Harris
His character is good but he'll come down a peg when we all find out he's a host.
This is in some ways obviously true but also if becomes a big reveal then I'm out.
We watched Succession last night and demoted Westworld to leftovers territory. So far, great choice.
I'm like 3 or 4 behind, but if he's a host as well... that's just terrible storytelling.

I'm being a little hyperbolic but the big idea they're playing with this season is immortality via digital consciousness, which totally fits that character's motivation (and they're hinting at it through flashbacks). It's absolutely garbage storytelling to pull the same reveal twice in two seasons, but, well, a lot of this season has been pretty bad storytelling...

Humans is back on AMC and is a much better modern-Android show than this show

Theory of the week is that Hale is Arnold's daughter and that in Bernard's memory it was changed to a boy (Charlotte = Charlie). Setting up a showdown where Bernardold has to choose between his flesh-and-blood daughter and his robot daughter (Dolores).

I also want to say that the trailer for next week's episode has piqued my interest in a way that no other trailer for the show has.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I don't think he's a host, just incredibly paranoid/lost after what happened earlier in the episode. Searching for identity, etc.

Yeah, I think he was just checking himself after fucking shooting his only child.

Mostly confusion. I think I like where season 3 will begin.

I missed the final after credit scene. But I was hoping there wouldn't be a season 3.

There will be. But if viewers continue to bail there may not be a season 4.

S2 was such a let down, especially the last few episodes and finale. I completely lost interest in this show which is a shame because S1 was pretty good.

Before I see the S2 finale and go back and read this thread... if Ed Harris does turn out to be a robot how are they gonna explain stubble growth? If I’m not mistaken the length of every other robot’s hair is fixed.
