There a bit of different between barbed wire and a knee joint.

Also another thought, if the hosts are there to be "shot or ****ed" wouldn't the old style ones feel a bit hard and lumpy during the latter, if they are full of gears and such?
I kind of wondered about the cutting of things myself...particularly the way it appeared that Logan quite literally stabbed Dolores, instead of just cutting her...then they showed the gears and stuff...I was like "Wouldn't the knife have just kind of hit those parts when he stabbed her?"
Then again, we are questioning the methods of killing robots in a park where bullets can kill robots, but don't really even hurt humans...so we are probably thinking about that too much.
As for the latter...sure, they're full of gears and stuff, but they're still covered in flesh...just like a human is filled with bones and muscles that can be quite solid, and covered in flesh, and we don't really think of our partners as "lumpy" for these reasons...in fact, it's the opposite...if we have a partner that has rock hard abs, we tend to view that as an impressive feat of physical fitness...the robots have rock hard abs without having to do a single crunch!!!!!!
In a separate note, it might be a good thing that season 2 is going to be a bit of a ways off.
I was reading tonight some stuff about "True Detective." That show was pretty awesome in it's first season, and the second season just wasn't nearly as good...I don't know if I'd say it was terrible, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first season and I didn't enjoy it at all. Anyway, while looking to see if there was any information on a third season, I found an article that mentioned that HBO basically took the blame for the second season being not up to the same level as the first.
Here's a quote from Michael Lombardo, who left HBO this year:
Michael Lombardo from HBO said:
When we tell somebody to hit an air date as opposed to allowing the writing to find its own natural resting place, when it’s ready, when it’s baked — we’ve failed. And I think in this particular case, the first season of True Detective was something that Nic Pizzolatto had been thinking about, gestating, for a long period of time. He’s a soulful writer. I think what we did was go, ‘Great.’ And I take the blame. I became too much of a network executive at that point. We had huge success. ‘Gee, I’d love to repeat that next year.’
Well, you know what? I set him up. To deliver, in a very short time frame, something that became very challenging to deliver. That’s not what that show is. He had to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. Find his muse. And so I think that’s what I learned from it. Don’t do that anymore.
So, basically, HBO learned that when they tell someone to make sure something is ready by a certain date in order to get it's second season in, that maybe they won't get the same quality as what they were hoping for.
I'm wondering if, even with Lombardo moving on, the powers that be at HBO have taken some of what they learned about "True Detective" and are applying it to "Westworld." We all know that the show took a LOOONG time to end up with this first season, so maybe they have realized what a hit they have on their hands, and they aren't really interested in pressing the issue and ending up with a second season that doesn't live up to this first. One would hope that based on the success of the show thus far, HBO will basically greenlight more than just the next season, so that the showrunners can know that they've got several seasons that they get to work towards...so maybe the wait to 2018 for season two will mean we won't have to wait as long after that for a season 3, and so on.
