honestly don't know what y'all are watching. this season can barely keep my attention.

1: except for Caleb, none of these characters have any inner conflict whatsoever. they all just have a singular, robotic focus. It's boring.

2: they're spending too much time on dolores, who's become an unstoppable god-like entity with a singular, unshakable motivation. need more bernard, maeve, and man in black ASAP

3: the fact that we never see the park or even hear it mentioned anymore sucks. imagine if they made a jurassic park tv show and by season 3, the park itself was totally gone and the story focused on 3 dinosaurs who can now levitate and move things with their mind.

4: caleb's, "what did he do in the past" thing is the only interesting storyline this episode. Serrac's backstory was ok, too.

5: glad they teased War World in the previews, only to show it to us in like 1 episode for 10 minutes. could've been great.

6: this show misses anthony hopkins so much.

I'll probably watch the last three, but my expectations are basically in the gutter.

Yup. Went back and rewatched.

Great action, great scenery, production value was off the charts.

3. The episode fails on one point. GOT did a very poor job of showing Dany's descent into madness. It wasn't fleshed out nor fully explained. It sort of came out of no where and the audience was expected to accept the sudden u-turn by the savior princess. WW made the same mistake last night with the fall of Rehob.

Rehob's impact on the world is never completely defined or shown. We get a few examples but not nothing much as to how it truly controls the world or affects people in their daily lives. We are just suddenly dropped into this world and then a few episodes later it is brought crashing down. We don't relate to the world because all we got was a surface glimpse of it. We got to experience the reality of the parks for a whole season before the uprising happened.

Providing everyone with their file is a cataclysmic event yet we aren't really shown that it is such an event. We see some broken glass, overturned plants, some crying, and arguments. Things we see after a team winning the World Cup. Shouldn't such an event garner more attention? One would expect to see media coverage, markets crash, and other signs of such a life-changing event. It deserved more exploration instead of an instant microwave popcorn version. It makes you wonder if only having 8 episodes means they have to rush through some features. Hmmm.... sounds familiar.

4. Genre scenes (drug effects) were great. Music used was awesome. Was halfway expecting someone to yell Charlie don't surf!

It makes me wonder if they can tell a story properly without using timeline gimmicks. Maybe this will be fleshed out more in future episodes but this was the one weak point of the episode.

I don't think they can adequately use development and exposition without using gimmicks.
