Pros +The Flashbacks/background info added a lot of bridge information while still adding to the plot at hand (including the full introduction of the information broker aspect of the business) +The Man in Black reconnecting with one old friend and being cheated by another +Dolores seems to actually have some sort of plan +The action was all fine as well
Cons -Dolores is literally saying the same thing over and over "I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT U DUNNN................................ to robots that can be repaired, reprogrammed and shouldn't be able to remember anything past a few hours......."
Great episode and the flashbacks particularly added much to the story. Far better than the first one this season. I'm scared this show is going to become extremely monotonous and boring throughout this season. The first season was so great because we saw this interesting and thorough dissection of how our ideal dreams and world are selfish and have consequences to everyone else if we were unleashed and allowed to do whatever we wanted, this season it seems completely fixated on this revenge aspect. I understand that they want to show the extent of the pain caused to other but at the same time, the audience already understands this pretty well. The writing for Dolores has been the same, scene to scene and when you make a character monotonous and boring the audience will lose compassion for her. Dolores was amazing in season 1 because of the range she showcased, hopefully they will allow the same for her this season.
