Season 4 comes out next month.
Cool, I guess. I'd read a rumor they may or may not have started filming on it a few months back... and now, bam.

Season 4 just started. I watched the first episode but am very quickly realizing I have forgotten large chunks of season 3, so I'm slightly lost. I think a giant simulated world has been created and some of the characters are implanted into it and some of them are not? And the surprise will be which ones are and aren't, or something?

Alright, so I decided to binge all episodes released so far.
I'm not so sure this show is actually all that good, and season 3 along with the season 4 episodes we have so far seem pretty trashy to me. I did think season 1 had a lot of interesting ideas and liked the ambiguity of wheter the host really started to follow their own agendas or if it was just Ford fucking with everyone. Season 2 was similar and had some good ideas as well, such as showing the interchangeability of the hosts. Of course there was always a bit of this bad Hollywood action movie writing, in which the characters can come up with really stupid ideas and take actions that make no sense at all, but it's allowed because they think it'll work simply making the characters act confident and that'll somehow make them look smart. I think the best example of this in season 1 is Maeve's escape plan, which involves making those two repairmen upgrade her to be able to leave and kill people, even though she has no real leverage against them and they could easily choose to downgrade her instead or... You know... Report her as malfunctioning and have the company simply replace her like they have done with other hosts... And then in season 3 this "confidence is a substitute for good writing" crap got ramped up and the hosts were arbitrarily made way more powerful than before because that's just about the only way they could be considered a threat in the real world.

I loved season 1, and it's shame they never bothered to explain who the host was that Anthony Hopkins built at the end of it. Season 2 was pretty bad. Like they wanted so bad to create another "twist" that they just resolved to troll the viewers badly. Poorly written. I actually liked season 3 quite a bit. Not sure what to make of 4 yet.

Seriously, why should I be sad? It's not like it was especially good after season 2. Season 4 literally ends with the story loop from season 1 being reset, what were they going to do? Rehash the basic premise of season 1 with new human characters?
