Oh yeah into the 3rd episode of season 2 yeah little confusing...... But can follow it mostly if I recap stuff.
Sometime next year.
Or twenty years ago. Or a hundred years from now. It's kind of hard to tell.
Sweet. I've always loved his work.
2020 has been confirmed by HBO:

I didn't realize that was a teaser for Westworld until the end.
I wonder if this is really Futureworld. Aaron Paul has a list of crimes on his phone, selects robbery and is then shown robbing a bank. That could be how storylines are setup there.
They sold me with the song choice alone. Not just my favorite Pink Floyd song, but also one of my favorites period. 
I'm intrigued by the refocus on Aaron Paul's new character. I imagine that's for the sake of the trailer but I do wonder how much of that shift will be reflected by the season.
Also, I didnt expect to get a trailer so soon. I guess after the long delays for the first two seasons, I got accustomed to waiting.

Oh, I missed that. Good catch there and I bet you're right.
"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
Just hope the storyline isn't as messy this time around.

Definitely an intriguing trailer.
That didn't occur to me while watching the trailer, but it does seem like a pretty good possibility. I didn't see what it said on the phone, so I didn't realize it was crimes.
It looks as if there's probably a time-jump of at least a few years. Is he talking about the world that produced the human characters we've seen - which was suggested to be a place of considerable wealth, high technology and rather decadent, consistent with these images - or commenting on what the Host have begun to do to that world?
Or perhaps during the intervening time Delos has managed to leverage some of the work that was being done toward putting people into Host bodies, despite their considerable, um, setbacks in the park.
We don't know what finally happened to William after he blew his hand off - just that at some distant future time, a simulacrum of him is retracing his second-season journey through the park. Wasn't he among the evacuated wounded? Probably will be back.

Seems a bit obvious for WestWorld but I can see that working.

Well, given that Paul is being built up by folks reporting (if not by the producers) as a major focus of the third year - yeah, maybe too obvious. If this part of his story were, OTOH, simply the opening springboard for a lot of other stuff that we aren't seeing then it wouldn't seem too obvious for the show.
I rewatched the first episode of the series recently, and despite all of the groundwork it lays - mostly invisible until later - it comes across as a straight-up pilot that "shows the audience where the bathroom is:" ie, here is this park, here are the people who run it, here are the kind of people who visit it, and here are your protagonists: the Hosts, most specifically Delores, about whom we are apparently told everything we'll need to know.
Except not.
