Yeah, there's a hell of a lot of that sort of stuff.I_R wrote:I mentioned it last week, the security guy in the control room (in the present) noticing Delores has gone off her loop and an investigation is launched, something about her possibly accompanying guests, but they weren't sure who. Cut to her with William and Logan (in the past). Of course she could go off with guests all the time, the only reason for the scene seemed to be to misdirect.

Thing is, we're now half way through the season, and what could you actually post that is a legitimate spoiler?
The plot itself runs a poor second to all the mystery box bobbins, none of which has been resolved in any way, shape or form.
Basically people are fannying about in Westworld and some robots appear to be developing higher consciousness...and that's it. Five hours so far.
Now I'm enjoying it as an hour of slick telly every week and I like a good mystery as much as the next guy, but this is starting to take the piss imo. Every week reveals nothing, but instead just piles mystery on top of mystery to keep you tuning in next week.
It's an incredibly lazy way of writing a show that's purely designed for the internet generation to sank themselves silly theorising about online.
There's probably a far more elegant, involving and interesting way of telling the story they're trying to tell, but that would involve actually crafting an engaging narrative that people could empathise with rather than just all this fucking Scooby Doo nonsense.
