Delos Security 7 year old General/Head of Security
Where the fuck are the helicopters? Ive been trying to suspend my disbelief but after deliberation I’m done. This whole revolt and extracting Abernathy is lazy writing for the sake of the plot.
1. they bum rush the well fortified fort. No shields, no heavy weapons to destroy the cannons sitting right in front of them. At least have a .50 cal on the buggy.
2. They totally forget that the conferderodos, who were clearly not awake based on everything we saw, planted nitrous at this exact spot they were attacking and since they were not awake it was clearly already a part of the game and a design of the park and not improvised. Who could possibly forget this and let 50 guys run directly into it?
3. They go into shogun world knowing exactly how the ninjas would Attack and decide to go into a war zone in 2050 with a strategy that wouldn’t even happen with the US army in 2011. No night vision? No strategy to prepare to be ambushed? None of the hosts were awake so they were simply playing the game in their roles and they should have got mopped up by security.
4. No weapons besides close range automatics which are completely stupid in there environmentS especially west world with such open spaces.
5. Even in WW1 platoons were given a heavy machine gun and WW2 ever company had multi purpose weapons like a mortar team and heavy machine guns.
6. They clearly show these massive construction machines which means there is no size limit to what can enter the park so there’s no reason they don’t have helicopters and tanks. And everything we see clearly shows they have all the money in the world so it’s not like they can’t afford more than some dune buggies.
Even if the bum rush on the fort was a distraction they should have simply driven off and extracted eAbernathy in a damn helicopter? There is no excuse. For this. It’s really lazy writing to drive the plot. I’m no writer but they could have easily done this in a better way. But once they had Abernathy in their hands and away from the hosts there is absolutely no reason he should have been able to get away again.
I still enjoy and like the show and will watch it but from now on I’m just going to assume my 7 year old Son is the commanding officer.

If they cant reliably tell whos a host and whos a guest then they need close range weapons not heavy machine guns. Heavy machine guns mean possible damage to cupcakes (host brains) and killing guests mistakenly.
As far as narrative goes, some of this is “new” as it was created by Ford. They may not know of everything,’so to assume they s has all been done before and is “known” would be a major assumption. The people that would know are the ones they are looking for and have been largely killed.
Do we know its rhe Ninjas that attacked the ops team? It could have been a mix of the ninjas and samurai. We don’t know how it happened so all we are doing is assuming. Even with Lee one of the “masters” things are going “off story” quite a bit. This could/would explain how a small group of ops could be over taken.
At face value, we're just watching a bunch of random robots walking around a theme park that have 0% chance of success of their larger goals (i.e. living a regular life in the 'real' world). Makes it hard to care about any of the Host's plight. Season 1 was interesting because we were able to see the process of some of the Hosts gaining sentience and how they dealt with that as they became woke, and ask larger questions about the meaning of life and get really philosophical about it.
I refuse to believe that Season 2 is just "we're gonna bust outa this place" because we already know how that would end. At some point somebody would just say enough of this shit and turn them all to dust. It's only semi-believable now because Delos Corp is trying to maintain it's IP as much as possible and doing some shady data stealing & dealing on the side (but doing a poor job at both, currently)
