I know skipping around to different characters and timelines has its purpose, but it can really make it hard to follow what the underlying narratives are.

I've mentioned this guy before:

I enjoyed his GOT recaps and his WW stuff from S1, but in S2 it is required viewing for me. He posts his videos late in the week, like Friday, there are other youtubers that post recaps on Monday, but Alt Shift X is worth the wait.
Recap videos should be fun to catch minor details or clear up the finer points, not necessary to follow the story.

I'm now all caught up on this season. It seems the critics liked season 2 more than 1. So far, I think season 1 was quite a bit better. I thought the most recent episode was trash

I liked season 1 a lot more, but they're at a point in the plot where the onion layers have to be peeled over and over at a deeper level (in the past and present). With the overall premise and plot moving forward, I don't think the show is/was capable of continuing to be the type of narrative it had season 1.
I enjoy the overall idea of the show. It's fresh to an extent. I didn't expect it to end up where it's at with involving human consciousness transfer. I just assumed the host would become their own version of "human" and it would go from there.
The machine learning aspect to support the code/consciousness integration is a really cool concept.

Yeah. Delores used to be such a lovable thing. Now she’s a monster.

I mean, she isn't just Delores, she also has Wyatt in her, which is why she behaves the way she does.
Then she tried to make Teddy more Wyatt-like and it seems like it might be backfiring. She is losing the guy she(her Delores side, more specifically) had affection for.

They didn't have anywhere else to go. I think by season end it'll be better with more explained.

S1 is still better but since E3 S2 is catching up. I still need things explained to me to know what the hell is going on.

Maeve's story line has been very confusing to me thus far

Can anyone understand why Maeve and her merry band had no choice but to go into Shogun land, to find an access hatch, so they could then go back to an area of Westworld to find her "daughter"... considering they started in the tunnels, under Westworld.
Wouldn't they all connect? For all the parks? And even if they didn't why wouldn't you just fucking find an access hatch to the proper tunnel network within Westworld rather than one in Shogun world?

More action in Shogun world than in the tunnels and Maeve had to put her Shogun mind tricks to work.
