I could barely pay attention when Dolores and Teddy were talking tonight. I guess the whole point was to show that she had her own technician and is recalibrating Teddy to suit her needs now.

It had its slow moments. I rewatched it and didn't pick up anything new. Not a good sign

A friend of mine was 100% spot on when he said that watching any Dolores storyline is like watching Dorne in GoT .

E4 was definitely the best by far—and that’s because it focused on William and Bernard.

If all else fails, I love the soundtrack for this show. Ramin Djawadi is a phenomenal composer. The instrument that he used for Cream reminded me of the same instrument he uses for Dothraki themes.

What a shitty episode. So far season 2 is defined by Man in Black episodes being good and Dolores and Maeve episodes being bad. Half the episode being in Japanese really didn’t do it for me. This show should only focus on young and old William and Bernard. Ed Harris makes this show.

The Dolores storyline last season was amazing. It just seems like they're really stretching it out so far this season.

They have so many storylines going on at once that we're going to see 3PM on Tuesday through the eyes of all these different characters in different places.

That is part of the issue is there is a bunch of story lines going on. In do think this is all going to come together so I just focused on what was goin on this week.

The music for the show is still phenomenal.

Unfortunately, I've mostly lost interest in the show itself. Last week was incredible, but this week was the worst episode of the series and the rest of S2 (aside from last week) has been sub par.

I saw someone on twitter (I think one of the Barstool guys) say that this show is becoming "Lost." I'd agree. I don't think that the writers have any idea where they're going with this. They re-write the rules (of what Delores and Maeve can do) weekly at a whim.

I'll probably skip the rest of the season until it's done with, then, if it doesn't get too much hate in the meantime, binge it on a hungover Saturday.

And after giving it some thought, I don't think that it's a coincidence that I think that this is the worst episode of the series and that it didn't include Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, or Jeffrey Wright.

i wouldn't compare this show to lost. But I've read some bits of interviews and Joy's AMA on reddit which lead me to believe that they're stretching this out as long as possible and a lot of the fan theories are just fan-fiction.

I'm not really expecting the hosts to escape the park at this point.

Then I hope that viewership keeps dropping and the show loses HBO money. My top 20 GOAT TV shows probably includes 10-12 HBO programs, and none of them have dragged on longer than necessary (though S5 of The Wire came close). HBO is supposed to be above that bullshite.

There are supposed to be 6 parks and we've only seen 3 of them. They can do this for a while.

Dolores not doing her fan club any favors sending off hot zombie Clementine and finally letting our boy Teddy hit it just to take him out back to the woodshed for a total reboot (and aparently risking his sanity not doing it the right way)
