Almost Human (KARL URBAN)

[Cassie]

This was probably the episode that was meant to be 2nd instead of the one last week. OLIVE OIL.

I wish I had a sexy blued eyed robot friend.

 

[Cassie]

WRONG CASSIE.. this was the 6th episode produced. Maybe they added the olive oil stuff later. WHO KNOWS. (someone knows, probably)

 

[CaptainWacky]

Maybe when I finally download them I can watch in the originally intended order!

 

[Cassie]

IN THE ORDER GOD INTENDED!

This one wasn't quite so good storywise, but Karl Urban and Michael Ealy were in it so it was still entertaining. Does make you wonder what the rest of the episodes are like if they're showing ones like this when they're still at the stage of trying to reel in new viewers.

I liked the using- chewed- gum -to- hold -his- brain- in part, though.

I swear, whoever is penning this scripts have read the In Death books by JD Robb.

THAT'S ALL

BUT I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW

 

[Cassie]

It's so good visually too. It just looks REAL and makes me want a robot friend

This weeks was Almost Breaking Bad. Did you guys see how much the dude at the beginning looked like Jesse Pinkman!? And he was talking about cooking drugs!

Anyway, it was an ok episode. In some ways the show feels a bit dated but it's fun. The fight near the end was a good example of that. Kinda cheesy, but not in a bad way.

From how much of a dick John was this week I'd guess it was episode 2 or 3?

 

[Cassie]

NO, it was 7, I think. The reviewer over at tv.com has a theory that perhaps the creator of the show got a little weird too soon or something, and that they wanted more standard cop procedural shows to ease people into it before getting off into the deep stuff. I can't remember exactly what he said, but it kind of makes sense.

I agree that the episode was only okay. It's still got the cool stuff I like, but I would like less Law and Order and more weird robot stuff. I did like it when that one dickish cop said "who asked the synthetic". They need to explore the robot racism, IMO!

 

[Dr Dave]

Wait are they airing episodes out of order?

 

[Dr Dave]

I've not bothered with the show (I should note)

 

[Cassie]

Out of production order, shows do that sometimes. If it weren't for the internet, we'd never know it.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Yeah, they're showing them out of order so the main characters relationship keeps changing from stony dislike or disinterest to chummy banter and back again. Not clever.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Now you know how Apartment 23 fans felt!

 

[Cassie]

OMG DORIAN HAS A PENIS!

 

[Tisiphone]

ROBOT SEX

 

[Cassie]

The case of the week was okay, but I really loved the tiny little snips of robot life they gave us. Like, the other robots are KEN DOLLS! John's reaction to seeing a naked one was good. I want more of that and less case of the weeks stuff! Also, I hope Dorian gets his own place. It's totally not fair that he has to live with the dumb robots. AND I hope Dorian gets a love interest, come on he has a dong, and feelings! He would be even better than Data.

OH and the last four episodes have been 105-108 in order (according to tv.com) and next week will be 103.

 

[Tisiphone]

I'm sure they're out there, but where are the OTP for Dorian and John? I know they're bound to be shipped, but I'm scared to look all it up....

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'll probably download this before the end of the year.
