Yes... turn Dolores back into a likable protagonist, please and thank you. Still look forward to watching Maeve go Kill Bill on her ass.
I just hope the inevitable multiple timelines are handled better this season.
Edit: Watched again. So the “five” Dolores refers to are: herself, Bernard, Maeve, Stubbs... and Hale? But Hale was Dolores at the end of S2... so who is she now?
Looks great. Love seeing Singapore in TV/movies. Funny that it is used as a stand in for a future city as it’s on of the most advanced smart cities in the world
I was listening to the Decoding Westworld podcast with David Chen and Joanna Robinson. As I was driving she was trying to give a refresher. As she tried to explain all of the plot points, I found myself just shaking my head and wondering why I am jumping back into this. But those damn trailers always looks so cool. I think this season is only 8 episodes, so I am in.
I didn't have as much hate for season 2 as most. Looking forward to season 3 quite a bit and I think it's going to make a huge difference in the way they go about the storytelling that some of the hosts are outside of the park.

I listended to it too and realized that I remembered almost no plot points or character names except for Ford, Dolores and Bernard. I hope in season 3 they get out of the maze and start to tell an interesting story again, but I have no desire to invest any extra effort to find some hidden trailers or something. It would be great if they could pull off a Mr Robot season 3 comeback and fix at least some of the season 2 stuff in hindsight.

Wow. I swear I watched this show, but the phrase "Hale was Dolores at the end of S2" doesn't mean, like, anything to me.
Seriously, though, taking these characters out into the world just kind of feels like they've jumped the shark already? Maybe I'm alone in that, it's ok.
Listening to the season three preview now. @A_Ron_Hubbard, @Jim, @Cecily the volume seems overly loud. Just a heads up. Keeping it positive though - I’m so excited that the show is back & that you’re covering another season!
So, what's the verdict? Is it amazing, more of the same, or worse?
I still am in the thought process that it isn't nearly as convoluted and complicated as some people are making it out to be. Yes there are still mystery boxes but the plot seems to be very linear and much more straightforward. But I also seem to be in the minority with this thought process in the forums.

A bit spoilery for my taste, but nonetheless exciting.
DELOS EMPLOYEES!

If you try to think about Season 2 and have a sudden urge to drink to forget you probably finished the whole season.
Edit: oh, I confused Marina One with Marina Bay.
