Season 2 Episode 8 one of the best episodes in the series

It was very good and one of the few that answered more questions than it raised. I swear, as much as I like this show, I have trouble keeping all the plots and subplots straight.

I agree 100%, episode 8 was outstanding as the best episode in both seasons.
The story was very well written because when Kiksuya found the Bernard's son game,
where it was the object that lead to how the host gained consciousness, and it
did exactly that for Kiksuya who said "I felt a new voice", which meant he gained
consciousness. What does consciousness meant was his independence and the decision making
for his to find his wife again. The scene with Antony Hopkins, when Kiksuya meets the creator
was also explained how much Ford was involved in this revolution of the hosts, but it was how he spoke tothat was moving; because he was the against the idea of these host ever gaining consciousness and caused all the problems with his partner Bernard, yet I felt the clue that he provided to Kiksuya was his way of some redemption and free the host and closing the park down.
