    They were told to trim the cast, it was too big.

    BTW that scene where Harris told the guy to shut up cos he was on holiday it wasn't a host but a human as he was wanting to thank MiB as his foundation had saved his sisters life.

    Also if you've watched all of season two, and go back and watch it again, it's interesting to see where and when Tessa Thompson changes her acting style very subtly in certain scenes to, well, you know why, all I'll say is watch her eyes in relation to her head and compare that to, erm, well you know. When she plays herself, she moves here eyes with her head when looking, when she's erm, you know, she moves her eyes first, then her head. I never rated her as an actress in season one, she seemed the worst of the bunch, but actually she's grown on me in season two.

    Regarding the cast, I think everybody in the forge won't be returning, the remainder will be.

      Somebody said that she appeared with two different hairstyle in season 2 and that should have been the little clue if she was herself or the host version.

          Yep noticed that on my second watch, love the subtleties. I remember on my first watch noticing something that was strange but I was oblivious to everything until the end.

          In regards of the cast size, I am absolutely not surprised. I mean they had a lot of big names and I can't even imagine the portion of the total budget that went into paying the salaries of big shots such as Hopkins and Harris.

          Also read an article about the lady that plays Dolores, she complained that she wasn't paid as much as Hop and Har.

I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

            They have got such a huge budget that I doubt the salaries are the problem. They advertised season 1 as the most expensive tv season of all time. It has cost 100 million dollar / 10 episodes because of the large sets and special effects.

              That's insane, I guessed they had a big budget but that's just crazy.

                  That's comparable to the per-episode budget on Game of Thrones, and is the same per-episode that Lucasfilm is paying for their upcoming series The Mandalorian.

                  You're right though -- that's a ton of money.

                        Yeah. I have to admit in spite of my major disappointment and confusion about the season 2, I am still waiting for season 3.

                        Spoiler:
                        Can it be FutureWorld? Or is it the real outside world?

                            I can't speak for Platschu, but for my part: while on the whole I still really enjoyed Season 2, I did also think that they spent way too long in Samurai World....only for it to mean absolutely nothing to the plot.

                                I liked Samurai World, but then it was wrapped up to quickly. I have loved the Native Indian storyline too. But the whole backstory was so overcomplicated with the flashbacks and flashforwards. They have revived hosts just to throw them away again in the end. This whole digital copy then the host body switch plot was a bit too much for my taste as the whole story was chaotic and unfollowable even for my scifi veteran eyes who is generally open for timetravel and different timeline. Then they have even revealed that MIB's storyline and scenes were not even connected to the season 2 at all. His past and his family drama was interesting, but then the whole bunker part has ruined it for me. Brr...

                                About season 3...
