And maybe head of security guy is a robot too. Or at the very least, he's so good at seeing robots he can tell just by looking at them. Like how Cypher could see hot chicks in the green code in The Matrix.[q/uote]
Are we talking about discount Hemsworth? Yeah he's a host too I think (implied).
And then there was Bernard and Dolores. I like Bernard. He's very sympathetic and likeable. Dolores is one dimensional and boring as hell. Also, nobody in the history of ever watching television would have believed she was really dead.
Yeah Dolores for most of the season was one-dimensional. I think she redeemed herself on the end though (in terms of motivation).
At least the other boring plot of Super Maeve and her not-daughter was resolved. I also liked the shot of the Indian getting shot and falling through the portal, cause they made it seem like he didn't make it for a second. That was cool. I admit it...for a half a second they got me. But he made it, and he's reunited with his girlfriend...but is he really? Cause how did her code get in robot heaven? She's still in cold storage in the park somewhere. So if she's just an artificial construct made from his memories or something, can he really be happy, cause how will he know if she's "real?"
This was Dolores' whole point too. Why at first she tried to destroy the "Matrix". In the end, she transmitted the data somewhere, presumably to build them bodies there.
And I have the same feeling I had after season one. "This would be a good place to stop." They really tied up everything this time, even moreso than season one. But no. It's definitely coming back. I guess I'll watch it, cause unlike Mr Robot which also completely went off the rails, it didn't infuriate me or insult me as a viewer. It's fine for passive viewing I guess but the writers really cheat a lot.
I read somewhere that they have 5 seasons planned, with only season 3 being ordered so far. Season 2 did open up a lot of new possibilities. It is implied a lot of the main cast are coming back.
Which brings me to the post-credit stinger. I have nothing to say about it other than it was probably the dumbest, laziest attempt to mind****** an audience since Tim Burton's stupid Planet of the Apes remake. That stupid Ape-raham Lincoln statue. That's what the post credit scene was.
Yeah this is where my mixed feelings are. This looks like another time-jump, one where they are actually able to create backups of people and have them survive for a period of time outside in the real world (as opposed to what happened to Delos).
So my mixed feelings come from storylines that weren't really necessary in the end. This could have been a shorter, more focused season. I think this went 3 episodes too long.
