New S3 trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64CYajemh6E
That looks far better than the previous trailer - they've clearly been watching the internet. I hope S3 shows more of the S1 genius than S2 did. Could still do without the angry corporate short lady though.

That is Delores.
Angry short lady and Delores are the same person? Be interesting explaining that one 
Small point in that trailer, but in every film set in the future they use bullets to "kill" robots, usually having to shoot it 30-40 times to keep it down, surely if it's the future then someone will have developed a gun firing some sort of electric bullet to kill a Robot with a single shot?
The whole design of a bullet is based on the fact that humans don't cope very well with holes in them, what with their soft squishy shells one bullet tends to be enough.
Firing a small metal projectile at a plastic/metal thing with loads of fail safe measures is dumb, but then again firing a single "E bullet" (copyright electronicpants mcxvvii) doesn't look as cool as having 5 guys machine gunning 300 rounds into a robot as they slowly walk forward and the robot wriggles about for a bit.
Rant over.

They probably consider robots under control and will not kill humans, humans on the other hand. Which is why they carry tried and tested bullet ammo guns. Instead of investing millions on weapons they may never have to use to stop robots that they believe are not programmed to hurt.
And hows that going?

I loved the "wild west gone wrong" elements. If it ends up being in some future urban sprawl (whether there are still "adult playground" areas or not), it might lose something for me. Not sure I can be bothered watching S2 again to prep myself for S3. I'll give it a go, though.
Westworld was never just about the multi-world Delos complex, there was the Michael Crichton (Westwold author and creator) directed TV series Beyond Westworld which was all about stopping the robots in the real world - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI4_rhgBvv4FourWheelDrift said:

Oh I know - I was just commenting on what appealed to me - both in the original film and in the recent tv series. I'll keep an open mind and hope they get things back on a good track.FourWheelDrift said:

Is that a Jaguar ipace on 38 seconds? If so the timelines are all over the place. Or it’s a computer simulation.
