Poor Bernard. Ford is all like "I gave you all free will, except you Bernard." Yeah the Delos security is bordering on absurd but on the whole it was a pretty good episode and clearly spelled out Delos has been selling potential immortality.

season saved, too bad we had to trudge through 6 pretty mediocre to downright shitty episodes to get there but goddamn you see why they put the Sir in Sir Anthony Hopkins
Ending was weird though, tall guy says "well bernard, looks like we are going back to the valley beyond". back? i thought i had the timelines straight but not so sure now
It'll suck if all these characters who took some major shots survive - William, Maeve, "rind" hooker, "super hot welcome to westworld chick" but I expect maeve and william to truck on (kinda lame). And yeah, all the fighting/soldiers/"lemme get my dick sucked by the terminator, what could go wrong" stuff was dumb as fuck but at least enjoyable to watch

One thing I find hard to believe....
That there's no redundant site for the Mesa, or at the minimum for the Cradle. Even if Ford wouldn't allow the data off island, they've obviously made enough money to have a backup data center tucked away somewhere on the Island...

You really have to suspend any realistic business operations for this show to make even some degree of sense. They would absolutely have redundant data storage on the site. But they don't for reasons! The security guy who had a suicide bomb on him and got seduced by the fucking terminator bot is so. So stupid. Defies all logic.
So let me get this straight with the current reveal. The robit revolution was engineered by Ford to accomplish two things. Destroy the backups of the hosts, Ford's life's work basically. Second was to use the same robit revolution to destroy the Valley Beyond. Which based on Dolores' comment of, "all the souls there" and her desire to destroy it. Must be the decoded guests Ford talked about. And the real crown jewel of Westworld in terms of the Delos Corporation. Why this required some crazy encryption key to get to it. ??????
Destroying both will prevent the hosts from being reengineered as the cradle is destroyed and Delos will lose a lot of its advantage with the Valley Beyond also going on. Preserving Ford's vision of the Hosts from being perverted.... Or something.
Maeve and a few other awakened hosts will ride off into the sunset though. That's all I got.

The place with all the drowned hosts at the beginning of the season is the valley beyond. This happened at the 'start' of the 'present' timeline

Shower Thought:
The Valley Beyond is a simulation like the one Ford was in. Except it contains all the people they've been decoding and they use it to simulate rich and powerful people to predict what they will do with alarming accuracy. Then they can create Hosts to push into the real world and get those exact reactions out of them.

Yeah the security guys are fucking stupid. Ruined the episode for me. Guy should have popped pretty girl in the back of the head and moved on. Timeline shit is still wonky and I gave up trying to figure out when is when.
I took from this episode that the only reason Bernard was able to be replicated is because he was manufactured not copied. Ford reconstructed his personality from memories and then achieved fidelity by taking years to tweak his responses and code to get to a perfect match based on Delores' memories. That would mean that Delores and Maeve are still just following a program and are not necessarily sentient.
Everyone else is just a copy and doomed to fail ala Delos Sr. The CR4-DL contained the backups of the hosts, the manufactured entities for the park. The valley must contain the copied scans of the humans that wanted to use them for immortality.
Not sure what happened to Ford, but it seems like he copied himself into Bernard?

This show sucks. Dolores story is useless drivel that I am beginning to suspect suffers from sjw bullshit. Everything about her has the feel of showing us a woman that can do all these strong and independent things instead of telling us an actual story.

This show....first season was solid. But it’s like they went full retard. On top of that I am rooting for the robots to die. But for fucks sake the crack security team is sooooooooo bad.
I hope this is salvageable but I am thinking it’s not. Goodbye hot sex robots....

I think this second season could have been much better by telling it mostly linearly and having the tension come from a race between the humans and hosts to control the park/their destiny, instead of all the convolution to make it seem mysterious.
