OK, after freaking the bejaysus out of me with the weird trailer / advert I am intrigued and looking forward to giving this programme a viewing.

(I will have to record and watch later as I will be watching Messrs Strange and Norrell.)

Anyone else looking forward to it and hoping it lives up to the hype?

Aha, that would be too weird if Tom was Leo!

I think it is interesting that Miska or whatever her name is is questioning herself in relation to a human woman. And the other robots are questioning her "Why don't you share data?" from the woman at the top up place.

Actually that recharge your batteries place booked kind of good!!!

Humans have them; they are called Starbucks, I think.

Italiangreyhound · 28/06/2015 23:54

Yeh, but then you need to find a loo and it all starts again!

oneowlgirl · 28/06/2015 23:59

I'm really enjoying the Series - will be interesting to see how it pans out

I like that they seem to be exploring different ideas. The one with consciousness that decides to kill for example is different to the housewife one. Free will doesn't nec mean moral!

The arm grabbing made me jump! It's almost like its a part of her consciousness she can't normally access, or that is overridden by her programming.

I love this but have totally been banned from watching with dh.
'Is that one a robot?'
'Is he a robot?'
'Are they robots? All of them?'

Etc etc

Fuck YES Hmm

WellErrr ha ha.

My hubby watches it and keeps quiet!!

I think it is interesting a couple of us have mentioned the moment she grabs the arm and no one has said the moment with the cocktail stick!!!

MadeMan · 29/06/2015 23:54

A synth eyeball is not an adequate substitution for a silverskin onion, to go with my cubed cheese and pineapple buffet platter.

Asheth · 30/06/2015 09:32

I think Anita knew exactly what she was doing when she poked the cocktail stick into her eye - she knew it would freak Laura out, just as she knew what she was doing when she undressed in front of the dad.

WellErrr · 30/06/2015 10:35

Why did he take her into the garage, alone, to undress her??

Furball · 30/06/2015 16:36

Yes eye thing was gory

whathavewedonenow99 · 30/06/2015 21:25

wellerr - he took her into the garage because she is a machine and that's where you fix machines - apparently! I wondered this at the time and thought the bathroom would have been a better place.

Oodear · 01/07/2015 11:40

The bathroom would have been equalling her with a human though

Furball · 01/07/2015 12:50

He was looking or trying not to at her 'bits' (sorry about crap use of word there) - I would of thought if she was a real synth should would look like barbie below the clothing so there would be nothing to actually look at?

MadeMan · 01/07/2015 14:20

Her bits are either like a Barbie with the knickers moulded on, or like Wayne Rooney's hair transplant; neither are particularly arousing.

noblegiraffe · 01/07/2015 14:29

I'm guessing that she's erm, fully functioning, if there was an 18+ option?

The synth that was a sex worker wasn't a special sex synth, they just picked her up off the streets.

Furball · 01/07/2015 14:56

but if the sex worker and Anita used to be humans then they would have all the necessarys.

Which is sort of the point I was trying to make earlier. He kept looking at something so can we take from that the she is not a synth? as if she was there would be nothing to look at.

MadeMan · 01/07/2015 15:31

If I had purchased a lady synth, I would have at least bought her a pretty frock to wear instead of her looking like a member of Kraftwerk in the kitchen.

Italiangreyhound · 01/07/2015 19:40

Furball how can she possibly be a human, do you mean a human body? That needs food and to go to the toilet? Or do you mean a machine with a human mind trapped inside. Sorry to be picky but enquiring minds need to know! Wink

Furball · 01/07/2015 21:02

I'm just thinking outloud, so don't think to much of it! - but I think they used some humans to make some sort of black market synths hence why they get flashbacks? and can think for themselves in some instances.

and Leo has a funny set up, and we are led to believe he is human, but we now know he has synth needs with charging and stuff.

ShuShuFontana · 01/07/2015 21:15

why does she even need underwear?? AI-sanpro, I-robot underwires? Surely. as a pp said, it'd be moulded on for the Domestic Synths, not economically wise to make a top range sexytime model if its only going to be dogwalking or making cakes.

ANNND....in any case one injury was on her shoulder, and the other on her hip/back, absolutely no need for underwear removal!

WellErrr · 01/07/2015 21:17

I wondered why she was wearing a bra!

Italiangreyhound · 01/07/2015 22:34

Furball I did think how they could have done it but it is super teckie! They have made a way for the humans to receive food and drink via electricity so no need for waste!
