I think the biggest frustration I have with this show is that it constantly undercuts its own dramatic sequences. Maeve self-sacrifices to save her daughter? Doesn't matter - she's getting revived by the two techs who know her. Bernard aces Delores? Doesn't matter, he changes his mind later and makes a new Delores. Delores aces Bernard? Doesn't matter, she escapes into the real world and makes a new Bernard. And also a new Delores for herself. Maybe she didn't want to be black? Racist.
The most dramatic moment of the show was arguably when the Ghost Nation leader gets shot, but then you realize he made it into robot heaven right before. This season, certainly more than season one, reminded me of the first season of Heroes: revealed this big calamity early on, built to said calamity throughout the season, then got to the season finale and vomited all over itself.
I do like the idea of new Delores and new Bernard duking it out in the real world though. OTOH, I couldn't care less about robot Ed Harris' fidelity tests with his robot daughter.
