Westworld s2 e3: Virtù e Fortuna

Let’s begin

Dolores has become the least interesting character on the show IMO. So far this whole season Dolores has pretty much turned into a mustache twirling cliche of a villain and it's gotten boring. The whole philosophy of the audience cheering the hosts on as they rise against their creators after years of abuse kinda goes out the window when so far this season the show has given us practically no reason to side with Dolores or Teddy because they have just become villains. Not even a GOT type villain where you get to understand every point of their perspective, but rather a straight forward villain, making it hard to sympathize with those characters. Compare this to Maeve's story arc, in which we are rooting for her, even if it goes directly against what the human characters want.

Story lines involving Bernard, Maeve, Man in Black, & Delos have been way more intriguing IMO. It's a shame the story line given the most screen time thus far is the most boring. We have seen the whole "robots turn on their creators" story so many times and this one hasn't brought anything new to the table. It's a shame, but on the bright side everything else is pretty good so far.
