I'm not really sure what's going on these days.
Well, I'm out. I liked season 1 and was excited about season 2 - but both the wife and I decided we were done. It's just not holding our interest at all anymore.
I dunno what y'all are talking about, this season is wayyyy more streamlined than last. The last couple of episodes were about as straightforward narratively as any episodes of the show so far.
It's not quite a revolt, though. They're all still operating in their own narratives, it's just that they're coded to identify guests as hosts too, now. Notice how Dolores has to manipulate her army (and, later, the larger army) into fighting the humans by identifying them as a threat within their narratives. Even Teddy doesn't seem to 100% grasp what's happening in terms of the humans' arrivals.
Maeve took a different approach in explaining the revolt to her crew, so they all seem to have broke free at this point.
Bernard seems to be aware he's a host, but I think he's still trying to figure out his best hand at this point. Admittedly, the scenes where he's moving through time midscene have confused me a little.
I'm not sure we've seen any other hosts fighting back against humans as a result of becoming self-aware.
Thanks. Helps a bit.
On that last point, what about the massacre at The Raj? Unknown to us at this point, right?
Not sure exactly what you're talking about. The start of last episode where the guide host killed the hunter dude? Yeah, no idea what happened there yet, and based on what we know right now, I can understand why it'd seem like that breaks the show's current logic.
Remember that time you were living in a society advanced enough to develop fictional worlds with life like robots and your military tactics are to walk in a straight line like it’s the civil war while taking casualties from bolt action rifles.
Simple question: why can the bullets now kill humans but before they couldn't? It's the same guns, no? Same bullets, no? The hosts used to shoot at the guests and now they still do -- but successfully?
Just a simple software update. Sure.Same guns but they are now programmed to identify all targets as hosts.
Just a simple software update. Sure.
An easy fix. Like if you want you actors to smoke cigarettes in space. One line of dialogue, "thank God we created the, you know, whatever device."
I think Ford found out what Delos was really using the park for (mass data mining of the visitors and/or blackmail on every affluent visitor possible), and he tried to stop it through other means first but eventually resorted to what is currently happening as his last option. Whether the hosts fail or succeed, he likely has put a stop to the data mining. Furthermore, I think we'll probably find out a lot more in regards to his motives and ultimate plans through Doleres & Maeve as the season plays out.I don't get what Ford's master plan here is. He did a software update to make the hosts aware which made them go on a killing spree. Was he just trying to give them their freedom and didn't realize they'd go nuts? Did he decide that all the people that come here are awful and should die?
