Yes, it's their implementation of "quarantine" that made them look really bad. They had inconsistent procedures (seriously, people were wandering the halls during the alleged lockdown), bad response tactics (everyone split up and was working and living alone), and poor communication and documentation of findings…

Oh, man. If it was, I bet it would be Dorian's Purgatory, and everyone else is a manifestation. I wonder if this show intends to try some horror in the future (something like Dead Space, with broken androids instead of zombies).

I know. I then went on to talk about transhumanism (continuing on from your opening sentence). Was my segue to abrupt? LOL I suppose I skipped the transition there.

…??? The Dorian DRNs look alike. If they were a large part of the police force before, then the public knows what the model looks like (especially when a number of them have been subsequently repurposed as laborers). Plus, Dorian constantly has blue lights glowing on his cheeks. There was that one episode where kids…

…Yes. That was my point. The DRNs were abandoned due to being perceived as faulty, not because they're dangerous. That's why I feel it is more cost-effective to repurpose them as home security androids rather than scrap them. …I guess I'm glad you agree with me?

… one leftover set from Blade Runner that only exists on rainy nights.

… Rudy probably never even considered it to be wrong, morally speaking.

Well… Kennex is already partly bionic, so he could be the springboard for transhumanism topics. It wouldn't even have to be the overt issue of any episode; it could simply be a low-level, background concern about how much human parts are required to still be considered human.

Wow, that's interesting! I'd like for the show to put that in an episode at one point, 'cause that seems like a good story to pursue. I guess this is just one more of those story threads that the series likes to toss out for the long game.

Mmmh. How can Dorian be out of public awareness when he constantly interacts with people at crime scenes? He interviews victims, witnesses, and suspects. He has chased down, shot and hospitalized criminals before. Are you saying the police force covers these things up and pays off witnesses?!

It would be a great excuse to throw a sexy party!

Yeah, the memory wipe was pretty creepy as well. "Yes, we were buds when it was convenient for my lonely self, but then I erased you when it became inconvenient!" Yuck. This leads me to think this show will not get into the topic of Dorian's sapience, because they don't treat his behavior as anything other than…

… the yakuza wolf-house was still in the US.

I'm quite positive Deaton never left Beacon Hills.

She specifically called out his programming, so I'm guessing DRNs are compelled to handle suicide threats in this manner. It's pretty vague, as is so many things with this show, so it's hard to sort out how the rules work. I guess once she was no longer physically threatening anyone besides herself, Dorian had to back…

But no one's complaining that Dorian is doing police work again. If the public is fearful of unstable DRNs, the entire line would have been scrapped completely for being a potential danger. We've seen DRNs be repurposed for general labor, so apparently the public isn't averse to their presence.

I honestly felt that what Rudy was doing to sleeping Dorian was seriously rude and creepy. He couldn't bother to give Dorian a heads-up that he'll be doing that to him? This show really seems to be of the opinion that Dorian is only a simulacrum of life.

I like the idea of a smart house, but only for non-essential functions (e.g. if it notices a weather forecast for rain sometime during the day, it should prompt you to bring an umbrella when it notices you heading out). Efficiency and minor quality-of-life improvements are welcome (like, if it notices you're gonna…

I only know Amelie from The Tolerability Index. I don't get the joke, LOL!

Anana was doing fairly well up until she rang the doorbell. She seemed pretty genre-savvy up to that point. Then the plot couldn't seem to figure out how to reunite her with Daniel and return Balleseros to the base, so this happened.
