I feel like Evan Rachel Wood sat down the staff and said, "Listen, I AM Westworld. Either you make this the Delores show, or I'm out." Delores had this innocence in the first season, and you were excited to watch her awakening. She has become this very one-dimensional character that's just full of rage and hate. It makes for a somewhat boring villain. I suppose Aaron Paul's character is supposed to represent a tiny piece of the loving Delores that was full of see and wonder, but they haven't done anything other than make him her sidekick. They are clearly doing everything they can to make Delores look bigger, stronger, and smarter than everyone she comes across, for example, Luke Hemsworth, who is host designed for combat and is 4 inches taller than her in real life (and probably outweighs her by close to 100 lbs), who gets destroyed by her in a fight. I suppose it's because his shoulder was hurt? Idk, I really want to like this show, I'm just having trouble finding any interesting characters other than Bernard or William now. Delores had the most potential. I hate to throw the term Mary Sue around, but, ya know...anyway, I'm in it for the long haul. I'll watch the show no matter what they do, because I like the concept. I just hope the characters get a little more balanced as time goes by, rather than behaving like video game NPCs.
