Why would you say that? Is it because of the Tyler/Voq thing with Discovery? That was because CBS/Paramount was trying to be misleading for the sake of secrecy. I doubt that HBO is being misleading here. What reason would they have to hide the fact that Jimmi Simpson is in a lot more Season 2 episodes than just the premiere, especially when showing a lot more of him in the trailer than just a single shot would've helped build even more excitement?

I say that because anyone who is a member can edit the episode count on IMDB, it's not an official source. Looking at episode counts for cast members prior to a show airing is not reliable.

It's really good, one of the best seasons of television ever in my opinion. Hopkins kills it, but so do Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, and Thandie Newton. The whole cast is strong really.
They are adding some really good new cast members with season 2 as well.

i finished the first episode... i never seen anything like that, so they have one scripted day, they repeat that over and over, reset those puppet bots overnight / replace broken ones and gussets can jump in the world with godmode lol.
it reminds me a bit of the movie I-robot mixed with trumanshow. my biggest question at the moment is where is westworld located... and at which time in the future they are constructing all this. i guess a lot of stuff will reveal itself by is own over the time.

I was really excited when I saw the show announced and watched the previews but then when I watched it it sucked so much I just didn't get all the praise.
I may try to watch it again to see if I missed something because it seems like a show I should like but everything about it from the storyline, to the acting and the plot "twists" were so bad that it is hard to imagine it getting better a second time.

Different hosts have different schedules, which you'll see more as you go into the season. Dolores and Teddy have one day loops for example, but as you get further from the starter town hosts can have multi day or multi week loops.
kmart, I'd advise you to not read this thread until you've finished Season 1. It's very likely that you'll get major plot twists spoiled for you if you hang around here. If you want to read others' reactions, dig up the original Westworld thread and follow that as you go through the episodes... though be warned that that might spoil some things, too.
That may be true when the air date is a long way away, but the reliability increases as the air date approaches, and we're only 3 weeks away from Season 2 starting.
A lot of people think that sites being editable by anyone makes them unreliable, but that fact actually increases reliability more than it decreases it. It means that new information can be added as soon as its learned and incorrect information can be corrected as soon as its spotted. Contributions of good information dwarf contributions of bad information.
The Season 2 credits on IMDb are very specific at this point. Besides several of the main actors being credited in every Season 2 episode, there are dozens of minor characters who are credited with being in specific episodes. For example, the little girl who plays Maeve's daughter is credited in about half of the episodes. Why would we know such specifics about a child actor who hardly has any lines, but we don't which episodes Jimmi Simpson, a star actor from Season 1, is in (aside from the premiere)? Surely someone should know, and the fact that anyone can edit IMDb should mean that someone should've updated it by now if it were incorrect.
Anyways, we'll see. Maybe it's incorrect, but the fact that he's in only one scene of a 2-minute trailer seems to corroborate the possibility that his role is significantly reduced from last season. I think that it also makes perfect sense for him to be in the premiere to tie up some loose ends and the two seasons together, but also not much sense to have him very much in this season, because this season is supposed to be moving forward, not looking back.

I mean...there's definitely a 25 minute video out there but I refuse to watch it. Pretty much gonna stay off /r/Westworld and this thread if I can help it.
Could be a troll job so there can be real twists at season's end but I'm not risking it.
EDIT: Okay I lied and risked it. That's hilarious. Disregard.

There's an idea. I don't want to re-watch the whole season because it'll spoil my appetite for Season 2 and because I don't have the time (too many hockey games), but maybe I'll just watch the finale. I'd hate to start watching Season 2 and be a little confused because I forget key details.
