    Also as a character note, it seems like Dorian almost looks down on the other police synthetics which would make sense if you wanted something to act more human. We all got egos, they all got frequencies, he just thinks that theirs sucks.

    You definately get the sense he views them the way John does, he showed more sympathy to the hooker bots. It makes sense though, I mean his series got decomissioned because they were successful (they had emotions so doing some of the shitty jobs they were asigned was probably not appreciated) and they were replaced by things that lack all kinds of basic human emotions specifically so they won't question orders.

    yeah Dorian doesn't care for the MX units and thinks he's kind of above them

    the only synthetics he saw as peers were the sexbots, he was visibly upset at seeing them killed and mangled and shit

    i dig it!

    as a character he's not impressed by intellect or strength or whatever, he connects on an emotional level and basically all his criticisms towards John are oriented around respect, empathy, and concern

    I'm sad that the ultimate pairing of sassy androids and time lost demon hunters is going to be broken up soon and boring old following will come after Almost Human.

    I really love this show so far. For ~50 years in the future it take a pretty good look at technology moving forward, and then suddenly hitting singularity. Things like segways wouldnt change drastically, like cars dont change drastically. They improve internally battery wise and handling and durability and safety features. Looking at bionics now, his leg would probably be commonplace, and probably would be his skintone instead of "future material color"

    Didn't you see last night it changed to his skin color when he attached it? Which makes sense in that his leg could be used for any person and just match skin tone.

    I retract my statement then! I thought it remained the old color in another episode when he had it on. Also cool because your skin tone changes with the seasons and with age. Ex-Yakuza who get prosthetic fingers have to get new ones as they age, and as seasons change so they match their skin tone and dont look out of place. There was a great documentary about a guy who makes prosthetic's and him donating time and fake fingers to help them get back on their feet in the real world.(missing fingers means not only were you in organized crime, it means you fucked up at organized crime, so noone wants to hire you).

    Yeah in the pilot episode he had it charging or whatever, so maybe that was the reason it didn't change to his skin tone/they decided to change it to make it easier on the effects department, but yeah last night the leg when it clicked in changed to urbans skin tone/real leg.

    i think it stayed its default colour in the pilot episode when he refused to let it calibrate properly. they're obviously showing him better adjust to the prosthetic as he learns to accept Dorian as his partner.

    so is this supposed to be the prequel to dredd?

    AAAAA!!! PLAAAYGUUU!!!!

    Nah John Kennex is a lot more awkward dealing with others than Judge Dredd. Clearly its a star trek prequel.

    Clearly stabbing it with a knife got the prosthetic to perform better.

    I disagree. He's nicer than Dredd ever was in Dredd. Judge Dredd gives no fucks.

    And yet Dredd is still a better people person than Kennex!

    I was convinced about halfway through that the girl that the girl with the phone wanted to be with was a plant with a fakey face.

    I don't know that anyone else had that thought, but I liked to be kept guessing. It was a solid episode.

    Yeah with
    face swappers, I fully expected a hostage to be one of the bad guys. Also I think that was their escape plan. I thought thats why they took the guy to the other room, so they could scan him to copy him and get out.

    Put some people on the vtol and program a spot, then copy them and walk out with the hostages.

    Yeah, that was my thinking as well with the whole asking names thing. I actually like it unresolved though.

    Are they? Not according the wiki page, the production codes line up right.

  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    I can see why someone might think the eps are out of order because in the pilot Dorean told Kennex about the olive oil, but it didn't come up again till the third episode. I take that just because Kennex is an asshole he waited to try and see if it would work.

    New Favorite Show. Between this and Sleepy Hollow it's been a good season for TV

    are YOU on the beer list?
  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    Yeah Fox has a strong monday line up right now, which is what makes the return of the following soonish so sad. Oh well I'd rather they have justified seasons than supernatural.

    he's got excellent comedic timing and really exudes the rational-but-deeply-sensitive-android vibe

    I agree. I really like him and Warren Kole on Common Law and was disappointed when it was cancelled. Nice to seem him get another, somewhat similar role.
