My immediate first impression from watching the trailer is that season 3 will be the final season of the series.
Season 3 starts March 15th for those who are interested.

I watched three, possibly four eps originally but it seemed really slow and drawn out for no apparent reason, felt like it bogged down immediately. Maybe i was just in the wrong mind set. Has there been a big gap between seasons?

You can skip most of season 2. Watch the first episode and the last, and you won't miss anything in between.

Regardless of whether the show is your taste or not, I think the major mistake made by the producers is having too much time between seasons. This is a 100% serialized series so you end up losing a lot of momentum AND viewers when you have 1.5 or 2 years between seasons. It's just too long of a pause in the story in my opinion.
Heck, this upcoming third season isn't even going to have 10 episodes but only 8.

I assume you’ve seen all of season 1 and 2? I just ask because you will be very lost watching season 3 if you’ve not seen the entirety of the first 2 seasons.

Season 3 premieres tonight. HBO is not going to do what some of the other network been doing with new series lately and release the entire season in the same day. We have to wait week after week for a new episode. It will be May 3rd before the 8th and final episode airs.

Your poor soul you. How will you ever manage to cope? You may need to get some therapy to get you through such rough times.

Some of my observations from last night's Westworld season 3 premiere:
1. Evan Rachel Wood had about as many costume changes as Natalie Portman did in Phantom Menace.
2. Is the "Los Angeles" we see the real world or is it just another Delos theme park "Futureworld"?
3. Is Caleb human or a host?
There's no doubt that this season will have a very different "vibe" to it compared to the previous two seasons. That's not necessarily a good or bad thing. As always, it will all depend on the writing.

Who’s seen the first two episodes of the current Westworld season? All I can say right now is that I find it interesting and will watch the remaining 6 episodes but this almost feels like an entirely different show. The paradigm has shifted again considerably.

I would recommend watching a recap of season 2 before you start season 3 because there are lots of changes and some things could get a bit confusing.

I think it's Teddy. That top down shot of Delores spooning with "Charlotte" in bed gave it away in my opinion.

I won’t give any spoilers of course but after watching half of season 3 I am convinced that this is set up as a series finale. I’m not a professional script writer of course but the way the mythology is going I simply cannot fathom any new direction for the show to go after this season is over. Everything is slowly coming to a head and it will have global repercussions. Having said that, I’m really enjoying season 3 even with it being very different from season 1.

Ok, it’s official now after seeing episode #5. Westworld season 3 is the most radical reinvention of a series from its previous seasons I’ve ever seen to date.
