the 50th time he said "spoiler alert" became unbearable and ruined the video imo

I'm still not sure what happened in the first season.

So what did people think of season 2 episode 1 , sets up the season perfectly for me and makes sense of season 1 was just a prequel for what will be coming.

Just finished watching. Was ok. Bunch of storylines happening, and it looks like Bernard has at least two different timelines going on. Will continue to watch and see what happens.

I miss Young William.

It was fine. Seems like it'll go interesting places. Just hope it doesn't dwell on the mysteries too much like whatever is going on with the Man in Black. Ok, so he's going to follow another one of Ford's games. Where did that lead him least season?

Don't like how they keep crowbarring in the catch phrase "it doesn't look like anything to me" to get a "cheap pop" from people

Just watched the first ep, and thought it was pretty interesting. Bernard kinda bothered me the whole episode for some reason.


Yeah, this was kindof annoying.

" This game will find me "

I cant believe Elsie is legit

Elsie is not real tonight.

Every moment I watch, Elsie seems not real.

Benard is being lead and haunted by the woman he killed... Elsie

Elsie so dumb

Elsie is abiout to be boom.

Sort yourself out

Anyone still watching/hyped for the finale?

I started this week. On ep 2. I knew the show would have to become a new show altogether after the finale in the same was tge 2nd film did. Like the 2nd film it has become something with no depth.

Fun on a mindless less level but not must see tv

Only watched the first episode of the new season still...... haven't heard any hype really for this season.... no one talking about it or so it seems.... not even in real life......

Its been good but nowhere as great as Season 1 was.

Feels like having like 3-4 main stories running at the same time was a mistake and after being teased it, was really looking forward to a lot of samurai related stuff which didn't really happen.

Going to watch the finale. I'll echo the sentiments about season 2. It's been "fine". Def a step back from season 1. Kind of a big one too.

This exact thing has happened.

Maybe the finale will do something cool, but they've screwed the pooch this season, imo, which is why you haven't heard people talking about it like thy were during season 1.

Yeah ratings haven’t been going in the right direction. I can see it being perceived as being “too dense”. I know I need to watch a couple of YouTube videos to make full sense of most of it and I’m a “seasoned TV viewer”.

I have no idea what I just watched. I think I understood half of it. Not sure if I'd say it "wasn't very good" or "pretty bad".

Really disappointed in this. Not quite "Dexter" level of disappointment but it's on the board.

I keep waiting for someone else to chime in, but it was so poor no one even cares to do so it seems.

I'm just going to pretend Season 1 was a stand alone one off work of unparalleled genius.

Thought the show really got its shit together on the go home stretch. Last 3 or 4 were quality

That's probably the main reason why Season 2 felt poor by comparison.

They wrote the series first as a standalone in case HBO didn't renew due to high costs and then as a "10 seasons" series in case HBO did.

End result was Season 1 got almost the entire main narrative, world building, and robot rebellion while Season 2 had to split the focus between the fallout and building for future seasons. Even the hyped up Samurai World felt a bit flat because Season 2 was doing way too many things at once but not as cohesive as Season 1 was.

I haven't even seen any of the second season yet. Waiting for the box set.

Best episode this season wasn't even about the main story. The Lakota Indian story was pretty fn good. The rest of this season can go kick rocks. At least they didn't kill Doaks.

That's one thing I now know.

Just finally finished watching season 2... There was a lot of good stuff but a lot of it was also pretty bad.

A lot of the dialog felt incredibly shitty to me, like a straight to DVD action movie or something. So many "witty one liners" that were just like "Christ..."

"Elsie" the most annoying character... Or maybe just don't like the actress, or both

Ed Harris was incredible as always though

I am never a fan of having characters that add nothing to the story - WestWorld season 2 had a number of characters that did nothing to advance the main story - Ashley, Elsie, Sylvester and Felix could have all been removed and nothing would have been missed.

I do wish they developed the character of Coughlin more instead of devoting so much time to Samurai-World

On season 2 episode 4. I'm enjoying it. There was no chance they could maintain the tempo of twists that the first season had but they have done very well so far with pushing numerous storyline threads at once. Thandie and Evan are still great and the William storyline now has Peter Mullan - for my money Scotland's best film maker and one of our finest actors.

So far it had been lacking in Ed Harris and James Marsden has been cut down to a sidekick role which is frustrating but hopefully he gets more to do soon.

Jeffrey Wright just keeps getting better as an actor. He has a tangible quality of emotional fragility that must be draining to perform.

Jesus. Peter Mullan got given a phenomenal part in this. Heartbreaking.

Episode four was a real highlight. Episode five is easily the least interesting episode in the whole show.
Turning Japanese wasn't a good idea. Thandie Newton speaking Japanese while dressed in period costume is hard going.

They're asking too much of me after such a great fourth episode.

William's daughter was given some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard.

You can't sympathise with that. Even if they had gotten a great actress in you'd never buy it.

Most of that "Elsie" character's dialogue was shit too.

Good season. It suffered from two boring, incongruous episodes but the other eight were either good or great. Episode four and eight were very, very cool and easily up to the standards of season one but they added far too many unnecessary storylines into it at the expense of characters like Teddy who gets very little to do besides tag along. I suppose it's back to this season's emphasis on reality and free will.

Oh and I thought the time-shift gimmick was confusing as hell at first but I really enjoyed how much Bernard we were given. Glad to see lots of familiar faces back, more than I assumed.

Watching the s3 finale. I truly hope there isnt a s4. I dont think I'll watch if there is.

Season felt brutal to get through... Felt like giving up after almost every episode but eventually felt a compulsion to finish it... So hard to watch though... Didn't care at all about anyone or anything that was happening
