I don't see how it was predictable. I mean, other than the fact that you know the hosts are becoming more sentient and are eventually going to revolt (and who says some element of predictability is always a bad thing?) Still, the writing is very good, and I think the show does a good job of delving into the concept of consciousness and humanity, as all good explorations of AI do. I also think there is a lot of truth in how people would behave in such a place. I love how the show leaves it unclear who may or may not be a host, and the way it plays with the time frame.
