The subtitles on the official HBO youtube vid label Dolores' narration in the trailer as being said by "Christina", read into that what you will.

No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!
Very excited for some great music. They’d better not be doing a Portal 2 with a human on which Dolores was modeled story. If we’re throwing prediction darts at the wall I’ll guess that CPAlores is part of some backup Rehoboam battery simulation.

Why'd they have to put another NIN cover in the trailer? Now I'm going to watch this stupid poo poo to see if they actually use the soundtrack well again.

For sure. It's gonna be thrown in a far-off future and the Hosts have made a WorldWorld to figure out some riddle about humanity they need for their survival.

I kind of liked Ed Harris’ daughter. I’m sure they forgot all about that stinger that had her back as a robot in the future, though.

I felt like the 3rd season dropped the ball there as well. Seemed to be much less of it and used poorly.

HBO could’ve easily had two milky robot shows on their progamming slate at the same time, but inexplicably decided to cancel Raised By Wolves.

To me S2 is better than S3 because it simply had greater heights to it. S2 had a few episodes that I think were actually the best in the entire series, by a large margin, while S3 didn't really have anything that stood out to me

So was the last episode of this the one where future soldier Jesse Pinkman put the kibosh on raping the hosts after their training exercise? Also, why didn't they just switch the hosts into freak mode after training?

They did use Fischerspooner's Emerge as credits music and for that, I am thankful.

My take was that the scene was supposed to show host-gangster seeing his own dead and fly infested flesh body after being replaced, but they cut that part before shooting but still left the flies. Scene sequence makes no sense otherwise.

Very indicative of how far this show has fallen when the season premiere gets 10 new posts. The thread was extremely active with live posts and speculation during season one.

The show is probably not doing well compared to S1 (maybe not even S3 at this point), but it’s appointment TV that is dead. Most people will watch over the next week.

S2: Sexy robots abusing rich vacationers
S3: GTA5 Rp is real actually and Elon Musk designs all transport.
S4: “I write npc stories for video games.” “What’s an npc?”

Right, but she was blown up in a car or something (that also killed human hale's daughter?) and that made her evil. I'm forgetting the exact sequence of events.

I can't believe they did a time jump that glosses over the world being turned upside down at the end of S3. And then they also do that thing where a character is in a deep, meaningful relation with a new character and we have no idea why they both love each other since we know nothing about this new person. Give me a loving break.

There is no way that Dolores Christina isn’t inside some sort of open world simulation that she herself is unknowingly influencing.

The best part of the premiere was Maeve. Let’s hope her character keeps some coherence this season.
