RaoulDuke79 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I know there was a thread. And I tried searching for it but couldn't find it. Is anybody watching it this year? Im more confused than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 We've been watching. The multiple time lines are confusing, for sure. Interested to see how the animals ultimately figure in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I watched Season 1 and greatly enjoyed it. Also caught the @ 1973 (?) movie the show is based on a few weeks ago. Am watching Season 2 with interest but have found it a big disappointment so far. The show has acquired an overly artistic, moody look and feel. Too much dramatic music softly playing during dialogue scenes, with characters speaking slowly and dramatically in a way people don't speak. The whole thing feels detached. I'm afraid the base concept of the show worked for a single season, but not more. The old west motif was interesting and the character arc the robots went through as they gained sentience was interesting to see develop. But now the narrative tension has been resolved, the robots know who they are what the deal is, and they have rebelled and killed everyone. Not sure where you can go from there. Also, the old west thing is apparently running thin, hence the "British colonial India" theme being briefly introduced and now we are moving into Feudal Japan Land based on the last scene of the last episode! I'll enjoy that aspect of the show if it sticks around as I have an interest in that period of history. I will keep watching but I hope the show improves.

But it's like the robots are turning human and having human emotions. When Teddy was going execute the soldier, but then shot beside his head and let him go instead. Dolores saw it and seemed disappointed. Also, when the writer told Maeve or Logan (I cant remember which one) they we supposed to love someone else and not each other. I'm wondering if Ford didn't plan this from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Haven't watched S2 yet but I suspect this series is going to follow a similar arc as the reboot of Battlestar Galactica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I am behind in watching. Just caught the first episode centered on "Shogun World" last night. Thought it was the best episode of Season 2 by far. Will watch another episode tonight. Anyone else enjoying the switch to feudal Japan? I prefer that backdrop much more than the old west theme.

You know, now that you mention it, there has definitely been less nudity/sex in S2 compared to the first season. I also enjoyed the many scenes back at the lab last year where the various "Robots" were sitting around nude! The women who worked at the brothel were pretty hot. Hasn't been nearly as much of that sort of thing this year. This reminds me: for some who have not seen Game of Thrones, some of the episodes/seasons were so heavily filled with strong sexual content...it was just fantastic. Worth watching on that basis alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth watching on that basis alone. There was a lot more sex in the early Game of Thrones. For some reason, most shows do this. At the moment, I can't think of any that had more as the series went on. And I would have though there should be a couple in an effort "to save the series."

Fadingpain Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I agree the sex is used early to help build the fan base, then it tends to go away. I am a fan of both of these women below. How do others feel about the woman on the right? She has an interesting look. She's from Armenia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I am not impressed so far. I’ve seen 4 eps. The rogue robots I get but there are too many paths to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratings for the season finale were down 30% on the final episode compared to last year. Too many timelines/unsolved mysteries (reminds me of "Lost") and not enough character development to get any emotional response from me when a character died. There were still some excellent stand alone episodes though so it's still worth watching. Bringing Anthony Hopkins back helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
