I think the issue with Dolores for many people in season 2 was that it felt so out of character (hah) and extreme in season 2 compared to 1. It was exactly the opposite for Meave, she started of full murder bot in season 1 and then became more relatable in her goals in season 2. So I guess that is where it comes from for most people, they both had more likeable goals in different seasons. People warmed up to Maeve because they saw 'progress' and they were turned off by Dolores because she seemingly went from understandable and someone you could be rooting for to outright 'take no prisoners' psychotic (I think acted pretty well)..

Well...no gak. Did everybody just miss the point in Season 1 when Ford literally reprogrammed Delores with a new personality called Wyatt? Dolores is not Dolores anymore. She's a Dolores-Wyatt hybrid.

Dolores is acting entirely in character...for a person who effectively has a split personality.

I think its more complicated than that. Wyatt was always a part of Dolores as its what Arnold put in her. Hell with the scenes included of her building Bernard its pretty clear that she can remember her actions and life far better then we're led to believe. If anything Wyatt is Dolores' true self, just with the inhibitions shut down, just like caring Maeve is the true self unlike her programming leading her through season 1.

But in general, nobody missed the point, I was just pointing out why people disliked her character is season 2, crazy Dolores just isn't relatable compared to her season 1 version.

Thought this season was a bit all over the place personally.
I think the samurai/indian episodes were nice ideas but not sandwiched in as they were. They broke up the main plot too much and almost felt like a spin off show.
The first half of the season was enjoyable but lost its way unfortunately.
