lol, this generic shyt isn't touching the awakening the hosts had in season 1, or the impact it had on the human characters.
You can tell they wrote themselves into a corner because the concept of Rehoboam was a perfect plot device to have humans who refuse to accept host in dependency realize they themselves are slaves of a system living predetermined lives. Too bad they killed off all the human characters or turned them into hosts (with the exception of MIB) so they had no human anchor to really explore this ironic revelation where humans now question their own lives and reality similar as the hosts did in season 1. Instead it is reduced to some shots of people rioting in the background of Dolores' mediocre plot to stir a nonsensical revolution while the contrast of Maeve's ascension to godlike supremacy for the sole purpose of living a humble life with her daughter has been thrown in a trashbin and Bernard shows up late to every fact because they have nothing going for his character either.
This season has no character development whatsoever unless you want to consider Caleb blindly running after Dolores for no good reason "development". shyt is so dumbed down that this is basically a Terminator TV-series except Sarah Connor is now also a Terminator.
Yeah this is basically what I said earlier, Dolore's plot should've taken a biiiiiiig backseat to the far more interesting plotlines of the humans in the "real world" coming to terms with the new knowledge that their lives aren't as real as they believed. They easily could have framed this season in terms of focusing on a singular human community that is forced to reinvent itself or fall apart, much like the community of hosts we came to know in Westworld. It might have been dope if only one city/nation had found out its reality was manufactured and the rest of the world didn't receive their future paths but they were all observing the city that did... Would the rest of the world dismiss reality to continue living in a simulation or, even if they embraced the fukked up truth, would they move any differently? This season got really lazy with exploring the impact such a revelation had on human characters which is a shame because the premise itself was gold.
