      I don't reject it categorically. Her for e.g. was poignant (because it wasn't gratuitous and lazy and a mess).

      I think part of our divide is you excuse myriad small failures if you align w/ larger spirit of a thing. I want a cohesive whole.

      I've been watching consistently with a group and we discussed every episode afterwards, trying to suss out what was going on.

      it's REMARKABLY well planned out & structured. For example- all the clues to the William = MiB connection are present by Episode 2

      again I suspect the main hang up comes down to you being more generous than I am w/ certain aspects of polish.

      why are felix and sylvester such pushovers? What are the world's physics - how do the guns only hurt hosts?

          why do the distances seem so long for hosts but staff, esp ford, can apparently teleport to anywhere?

          medicine seems remarkably advanced on hosts but we rarely (though not never!) see it used on humans. What's up there?

          our knowledge of the world, as viewers, matches what the hosts know- so in this season, we only see the park.

          similar to howmin Memento, neither the protagonist nor the viewer knows the recent past. it's not just clever- it works

          it owned the unreliable narrator thing enough (eg "what door") that I'll buy into this, even though it's a little cute

          like, you can paper over a lot of incoherence with "well it's just as confusing to the poor hosts".

          but limiting the scope of the show to the park isn't incoherent! it's just a creative choice- a focus.

          the gun thing is easy- Sylvester and Felix are more of a stretch :). The guns shoot non-lethal bullets, paintball-ish

          the Hosts respond to the bullets- wirelessly? Chemically? Who cares? With a squib, built into their flesh.

          I forgave the (many) dubious mechanics of the universe. Gratuitous, rococo emotional ping pong left me apathetic.

          yeah I mean, the bullet mechanics are as interesting to me as arguing dragon aerodynamics in GoT.

          the security controls are such a key part of the plot, like electric fences and lysine in jurassic park.

          sure, but the mechanics in both are simple to understand. And Michael Crichton invented both of them :)

          to me this is an example of inconsistent or incomplete storytelling. It's *not* critical but it is lacking polish.

          when is it ever inconsistent? it's entirely consistent in the show.
