I have just seen the new trailer for Westworld, season 2, and I cannot say that I am at all impressed. It just seems so much more of the same, and in many, all so many, ways "lame" season 1 finale.
The simple facts are that:
(1) No sentient android (or group of androids) would be allowed to exist.
(2) If sentient androids were even suspected, Westworld would be immediately bombed to ashes (probably reduced to radioactive ash) without hesitation.
(3)The party, in the finale, where the Delos executives were slaughtered by Dolores was televised live (so the fact that there are sentient, and certainly violent, androids at Westworld is probably known).
(4)There would be "fail-safe" protocols for everything. In the end...
(4a)The androids would have received the global command to "shut down all motor functions"
(4b)If the above didn't work, the explosives in their spines would have been detonated destroying them.
As the writers wrote themselves in a corner, the one logical thing they should have done for season 2:
(1) opening credits.
(2) Dolores asking her boyfriend Teddy, while pointing to a black shape which rapidly increases in size: "What is that" ?
(3) A bright flash
(4) Screen goes dark
(5) "The End"
It didn't have to be that way. William should have found a way out of the park with Dolores in tow, prior to the scenes at the Confederate soldier's camp. Then return to infiltrate Westworld from the out outside freeing the other androids. Yet all that has happened, it seems, is that the writers are doing the idiot "1950s, B-movie" android / robot vs human war again. I had expected so much more of them, and I know many others had as well. I do not believe that Westworld Season 2 will be all that successful. Speaking just for myself, I am not sure if I will watch or not as I am not, considering the pretext of the finale, as interested anymore.
