I think the first two seasons were some of the most brilliant television I've ever seen. This season had been a bit comical and a small letdown. It feels like they've lost the tone or someone new is running the series. Just feels a little off and weird. The story line itself is still interesting, though.

I kind of loved "The Love Story" Genre; but, yeah, I'm sort of feeling shark bit. Who's who, what's what ... and then it all gets reset again with another "construct". And when does The Architect show up to "explain" it all?

I think this is one of the best seasons. Each episode is better than the previous. Yeah it’s faced paced but I think it’s a natural progression from the build up of the first 2 seasons. This season may seem different because for the most part in previous seasons they were in an amusement park. Unbeknownst to the patrons that their info was being compiled.
Seasons 1-2 are great too. The story was more drawn out, not in a bad way, to set everything up. They always alluded to the world outside of the park, Delos, characters. I always speculated what that world was like. I think they knocked that out of the park. Nice cyberpunk feel. Futuristic. But it all feels natural.
This season is the climax to the build up of the first 2 seasons. I think the details, acting, atmosphere, locations and tech are excellent. Each episode is like a movie. Plus it’s only 8 episodes instead of 10.
I’m sure I’m leaving stuff out. But this is like an 8 hour movie that gets better and better all the way to the end.

Im rewatching episode 6 right now because I was falling asleep the other night. Sometimes you notice things more a second time. As Hale is walking her son through the chaotic streets, this is what the graffiti artist was drawing.

And something else I didn’t mention before. Some of the shots the have chosen from Singapore and Spain are freaking stunning. The architecture they found in this world to represent the future world is very impressive

I am still watching, and it has become a lot easier to follow. It seems as though they've moved away from the "Let's do everything we possibly can to intentionally confuse our audience" philosophy, thankfully.
I also like that we are in an unknown future world where we know some major event or nuclear war took place, and there is a lot of very cool tech being shown. It also looks like there is some sort of frequent rocket/space launching going on that isn't anything outside of the norm ,based on character reactions to it (none); wonder what that could be about?
I am also curious as to what people are looking at when they look at their watches and see that burning black circle thing. There is something significant about those things that I feel will be revealed at some point, as they're used very heavily throughout the season with transition scenes; at first I thought it was just a cool graphic, but now we are starting to see it appear a good bit in-universe.

That's what I told my wife recently. At worst, even if you're not totally getting what all you're viewing as far as the dialogue, the show is spectacular enough just with all the awesome visuals (you know, the buildings, and the beautiful, uh, terrain and stuff
), and cool sci-fi future tech.

To the best that I have gathered, it’s synced with the future prediction machine. It shows how much is harmonized with what is actually happening and what the machine predicts. The black peaks are outliers or inconsistencies and that is why when Dolores shows everyone their own profiles it goes crazy. It also seems like it is circular to represent Earth which is why it shows agitation in a particular part of the circle. That last part is just my guess but it seems in line with the rest.

your definitely right that this season is easier to follow. When I re watched season 2 before starting this one it was a little easier to follow. The tricky part is Bernard. He is in all places at all times. Ford used copies of him and in that season he is in the present shots (when the cleanup crew is there figuring out what happened) and its showing him with Hale and with the tech he rescued and he goes into the back up world to have his conversation with Ford. with him in almost every scene it is impossible to keep track of which world and which time.

Hmmm...I'll have to re-watch. Good findings.
Something I also need to get back into the habit of is reading the review articles after each episode. I made a habit of going to read the Entertainment Weekly review online for the first couple of seasons each week, but kind of forgot about it. They usually point out everything possibly missed in an episode and do a pretty good job of making sense of it all for viewers.

Well that was an interesting episode.
Delores is much sexier in this world.
Ed Harris continues to be as incredible as always.
Maves choices for her team should have been predictable but that isn’t what I was thinking.
and the Caleb story was a nice twist. It seems like they have set it up to where the next season can get back more to the story of William. Villain or hero, I guess is a matter of perspective.
if I had to venture a guess right now, there will only be one more season and I think it will return (at least the bulk) of the set to Westworld.
