I thought the last episode was pretty good but I just don't see where it can go for three more seasons. That episode, save for the last few scenes, could have been a pretty decent ending.

Spoiler:

I don't know if I really care for any more seasons tbh. They had a good opportunity to bring the story to an end here with Dolores escaping and with the hosts being safe in their own world. I kinda think they might be stretching it out when this season felt a bit stretched out to begin with especially considering that the main players left alive are quite uninteresting.

I definitely won't be watching if Maeve doesn't come back, they strongly hinted that she will be but if she ain't a series regular then I don't care.

I also think the show needs to drop with the screwy timeline ****, it reeks of the writers thinking they are being clever when they are just being obtuse. It's not difficult to follow but it's aggravating to watch. The timeline **** worked well in the first season but in this one it felt needless.

So basically, I liked the episode but it felt like the end of the road for me. I didn't care for the post scene credits at all since I felt it was quite trope ridden. Westworld works best when it focuses on character driven drama, it's falling into the same trap that Sherlock fell into when the writers were more determined to show off how clever they were than focusing on a coherent story with interesting characters.
