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.

I hope we get to see some more of the other worlds and how they are going to tie into all of this. I enjoyed the intro scene in the Colonial Indian world.

Dolores seems very one dimensional (even for a robot) at this point.

The flashback scenes this episode were great. I’m already calling that William’s brother-in-law is dead in the present. I wonder if it was park related or just due to him being a junkie a-hole.

Yeah, I’m not liking Dolores either, now. I think Teddy is obviously about to turn on her. The only ones I’m really rooting for are Bernard, Maeve, and Lawrence.

Her over the top character is because I think she was programmed like that. I don't think she is really free. She was given freedoms but she is Wyatt. none are really free. Hector said Isabella was just words and he knew it wasn't real. Maeve is determined to get this girl even though she knows it's not really her daughter but a host that was programmed to be but she can't get her mother programming out.

Similar to Bernard. He was programmed to be of service but was given free reign and let the AI take over and be "free." He will forever be held back because if his programming.

for real. i cant believe that I like Maeve more now. I roll my eyes every time Dolores is on screen.

one thing that takes me out of the show every time is the QA team. They are so horribly trained and unbelievable. I was hoping they'd fix it from last season, but i guess not.

Ya lets just advance on foot to this fort where hosts are fortified and exchange fire in an open field. ok

Not just this, but I'm actively rooting against the hosts because they're nothing more than machines. The show seems to want us to think of them as human, they're not. I'd have no more of a problem shooting a host as I would destroying my echo with a baseball bat.
