For the most part the first season was OK. Neither overwhelmingly exceptional nor brutally awful. Just, well - OK.
I can live with the wacky science because it is a science-fiction superhero show. There has to be some leeway. One major factor I really didn't like is the, as one trakt friend of mine likes to put it, teen-oriented crap, that turns up in all this superhero shows. There always has to be some sort of romance, love interest or the like going on. Because all these awkward moments that result from that are so fun, right ? Wrong, so distractful and also not really character building. Iris was pretty much a nuisance the whole season and I can easily see the whole storyline working without her character in it. Secondly, the villains, from top to bottom were really weak. Most of the time they were only an afterthought in any story, just to be put away by The Flash, or to be killed off later. And the villains they keep aren't even metahumans but morons with techy guns that weren't even developed by themself. The major storyline with Dr. Wells was what drove the season. That was what kept me hanging in until the end.
As it is now I can't say I will see the end of the show. There are a lot of things that need to become better for me to really go with this all the way.

Happy Father’s Day to the Father of the Year. William
Elsie: You promised. No more lies.
Bernard: HERE IS A RED HERRING OF TRUTH ELSIE. DONT MIND ME TALKING WITH THE GHOST OF FORD JUST ZIPTIEING MY ARM NO WORRIES.
Elsie: "Fuck you, Bernard."
Night King Clementine.
Dolores scene with her anguish being replaced by music was a thing of beauty. It really caught the horror of her realization and pain well. I still could hear that anguish.
Is Emily Dead?
According to Herbers, yes. Emily is not only a real, she is also now dead.
What Is The Forge Again?
In the Mesa there was a server called the CR4-DL where a digital copy of Ford was stored and Bernard was created? Now, there’s an even bigger version of that called The Forge and it has copies of humans stored there. This also appears to be what’s through “The Door” and one might also call it “The Valley Beyond.”
Is Teddy Dead
This suicide takes place before we see him floating in that lake so, yeah, he seems to be dead. Without the **CR4-DL to back him up, that’s it for Teddy unless we see him in The Forge.
Is The Man In Black A Host?
That’s certainly why Ed Harris is digging into his arm in the exact same place Bernard cut into earlier in the episode in order to find a port.
What Did Emily and Juliet See on That Tablet?
all the bad and terrible stuff William has done over the years while visiting the park. William violently dragging Dolores into a barn on the tablet just as he did in the Westworld series premiere.
