I'm not sure what the writers are going for in season 2 of Westworld but every episode is just getting more confusing and I'm getting to the point where I'm not sure if I care any more. It's hard to care about characters when you know they are just machines and seriously vicious machines as well.
The mind control in this episode was just an easy way to get out of trouble and as others have said lazy writing. The writers are bringing too many storylines into the plot. Like the geishas in this episode.
Through most of this episode, I was incredibly bored as season 2 just seems to be wandering all over the place with little or no direction. If the next few episodes don't improve, I'll move on to another more intriguing series. It's too bad as season 1 was so good.
