Author: bala Time: 7-20-2013 06:18 Subject: Almost Human Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)
Premières November 17, 2013
The year is 2048. Meet JOHN KENNEX (Urban), a cop who survived one of the most catastrophic attacks ever made against the police department. After waking up from a 17-month coma, he can't remember much – except that his partner was killed; his girlfriend, ANNA MOORE (guest star Mekia Cox, "Crazy, Stupid, Love.," "Undercovers"), left him after the attack; and he lost one of his legs and is now outfitted with a highly sophisticated synthetic appendage.
Suffering from depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD, PTSD and the "psychological rejection of his synthetic body part," John returns to work at the behest of longtime ally Captain SANDRA MALDONADO (Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor, " Six Feet Under," "Ransom"). By mandate, every cop must partner with a robot. And despite his passionate aversion to androids, John is paired up with a battle-ready MX-43. But he abruptly terminates his partnership after the robot discovers incriminating information about him. So technician RUDY LOM (Mackenzie Crook, "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise) introduces John to DORIAN (Ealy), a discontinued android with unexpected emotional responses. Although such responses were deemed flaws, it is in these "flaws" that John relates to Dorian most. After all, John is part-machine now, and Dorian is part-human. John and Dorian's understanding of each other not only complements them, it connects them.
As he adjusts to working with his new partner, John also must learn to get along with his new colleagues, including the eager and somewhat starstruck Detective VALERIE STAHL (Minka Kelly, "Friday Night Lights," "(500) Days of Summer") and the distrustful Detective RICHARD PAUL (Michael Irby, "Law Abiding Citizen," "The Unit"), who does not welcome John back with open arms.
ALMOST HUMAN will follow the week-to-week missions of John and Dorian, as they fight crime across this futuristic landscape, while the mysteries surrounding his attack and the larger mythology of this new world unfold.

Well this was ok pilot but i just don't know it felt like very rushed pilot with so many things happening and nothing really surprised me but i think Dorian actually getting the respect at the end was priceless but calling him man every-time he speaks was amusing.
I am not surprised Dorian want to keep his secret because without him he would be switch off 
. This has potential cop series i just think with late start it might not do as well .

Well another ok episode but kind of freaky that sexbot had human dna but he should of known better than try test it out because it got him killed .
Let's also discuss new technology starting with DNA bomb what a amazing concept have a bomb that destroy all DNA in room was interesting . Whoever invent something like that was certainly a criminal which begs one question how can someone get convicted if there's no DNA tiring them to a crime ?. No wonder crime is up 400%.
Slient rounds is next generation bullets who don't make a sound when firing which means there is no need for a silencer another evolution of technology .
I really did find it amusing Dorian set up dating profile for his partner was amusing since he thought it was joking

I'm going to check this out when they've aired a few more episodes. They were heavily promoting this in the States when I was there for a few weeks. Billboards all over the place!

i just hope it wasn't a waste of money
Author: shinny Time: 11-20-2013 12:11
Fox just might have too much spare change, lol!

they did promote it but then they delayed the release so long, i'm not sure it's going to go as well as expected.
I enjoyed the first hour a lot. The second wasn't nearly as entertaining.....we'll see

i liked the second episode more than first

I'm not surprised Kennex pushed his first synthetic partner out the car as your partner is supposed to have your back not report you and Dorian is a vast improvement on the first
Author: codebreaker Time: 11-25-2013 04:49 Subject: 1x02 Skin
Kennex scaring the kid when he stabbed his leg amusing and the high quality sexbots are a vast improvement on the inflatable dolls it's just a shame they used human skin in the process
Author: bala Time: 11-25-2013 05:00 Subject: Reply 19#19 codebreaker's post
But if you partner is a system not human being you can't expect that but i agree Dorian is better but he was an experimental model
Author: codebreaker Time: 11-25-2013 05:07 Subject: Reply 21#21 bala's post
Dorian helping hack the system rather that report him for not having a warrant makes the first on a hindrance rather than being useful
Author: bala Time: 11-25-2013 05:18 Subject: Reply 22#22 codebreaker's post
True but you got see it from other side there's no police corruption ?
These androids were design for accountability that the purpose to make sure cops don't abuse their power
However you right it's a hindrance but this eliminated the needs for Internal affairs.
It's hard to be in-between those two and even Dorian based logic based system will have difficulty doing both however like he said need him to be a cop so anything that helps to continue to be activated will be in Dorian best interest . I am sure there's a limit to this which should be explored in future episodes.

Well taking over office building was impressive but it being a decoy for mineral robbery was one hell of a distraction and Dorian getting injured and John fixing him up with chewing gum was highly amusing

Author: codebreaker Time: 12-8-2013 15:05 Subject: 1x03 Are You Receiving?
John using his phone as a distraction was clever but short circuiting Dorian with the nail clippers was amusing and the repair with gum was priceless, Paige thanking John at the end was nice
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-8-2013 15:56 Subject: 1x04 The Bends
It didn't take much for Kennex to convince Rudy to go undercover but teaching him how to cook was amusing and killing Captain Barros after finding he was responsible was great

I expected the one, but not a whole group of them! I found this to be a great episode. I hope more episodes are like this one. The futuristic was very interesting.

Well it was a smart way to get around a murder charge but using hologram to fake the exchange was impressive

What a horrible blackmail scam and it was rather disturbing put clock on donated organs where patient pay money to keep organ from shutting down . The sideline storyline with other DNR was rather amusing since he certainly was more flawed with Doren .
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-19-2013 14:39 Subject: 1x05 Blood Brothers
Dorian showing his manhood to John after seeing the life size Ken doll was amusing and Ethan Avery being in two places at the same time was interesting as you would expected so many of them, using a hologram was clever and Dorian flipping the van was awesome
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-19-2013 15:24 Subject: 1x06 Arrhythmia
The Dorian janitor chasing the guy by mistake was surprising but the after effects was amusing and transplanting organs with a thirty day timer was disturbing

Author: codebreaker Time: 1-7-2014 06:00 Subject: 1x07 Simon Says
John becoming the next victim after the failed second attempt was predictable but the fact the first victim had no chance to save himself it wasn't looking good and the fact there was so many people wanting to watch him die was sickening
Author: bala Time: 1-7-2014 07:10 Subject: Reply 37#37 codebreaker's post
That reality TV for you but Doren running on empty was amusing and what a time to shut off as soon as he took bomber down
Author: arksongbird80 Time: 1-7-2014 09:36 Subject: Reply 38#38 bala's post
you figured it would be something like that. I liked the forcefield around the first victim. Very kewl ep though.

I had a felling it was a self-guided bullet rather than the MX's theory of a ricochet but John shooting it for not shutting up was great and Dorian malfunctioning after getting shot was amusing
Author: bala Time: 1-14-2014 07:47 Subject: Reply 41#41 codebreaker's post
Well i thought it was SMART bullet but this was one hell of evolution from that using camera to find the victims was crazy

The android killing the woman to snatch her handbag was sickening but the fact it was only to get the android into the evidence locker made it worse and glad the managed to pull the pin on her destruction but it looks like Nigel hasn't finished

Well i have to say it was rather stupid of them keep the head such a dangerous android

Author: bala Time: 2-11-2014 12:46 Subject: Perception
Designer drugs killing genetic enhance children all because mother wanted to kill girls responsible for her child death
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-11-2014 15:15 Subject: 1x10 Perception
Dorian almost loosing his ear in the crash was amusing and the mothers reason for giving the other girls the fatal dose of the so called perfect designer drug was disturbing
Author: bala Time: 2-12-2014 02:12 Subject: Reply 48#48 codebreaker's post
He's an android so it really doesn't matter Rudy will just replace it
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-12-2014 02:18 Subject: Reply 49#49 bala's post
His response about having the driving under control was amusing
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-17-2014 23:19
Author: bala Time: 2-18-2014 13:49 Subject: Disrupt
Well Rudy access Dorian subconscious was interesting but him feeling violated was funny considering he was only charging and not doing routine maintenance but security home system was scary 
. I wouldn't trust one in my home considering how it can be hacked .
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-22-2014 11:12 Subject: 1x11 Disrupt
Being killed by his own home security was freaky but as soon as his wife went into the pool I had a feeling she would die in there and I wonder who is responsible for the images Dorian is seeing

Author: bala Time: 2-25-2014 12:57 Subject: Beholder
All that killing to get the perfect face and women he was in love is blind that's irony if ever i saw one on a tv series
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-28-2014 15:26 Subject: 1x12 Beholder
Rudy being worried he might be a target for the beauty killer was amusing but Eric killing all those people to impress Judy was disturbing but at some time you knew she would want to touch his face as she's blind
Author: bala Time: 3-4-2014 09:52 Subject: Straw Man
A disturbing case of serial killer who made copy of humans and fill them with straw but finding out serial killer was a cyborg was nice twist
Author: codebreaker Time: 3-10-2014 10:23 Subject: 1x13 Straw Man
John eventually solving his father case and also clearing his father name was great as it also allowed an innocent man to walk free from jail and get the proper treatment for his illness
Author: Milks26 Time: 10-12-2015 09:18
I actually loved this series. There were some recycled storylines that's been done before on other shows and movies, but overall, the episodes were good. I loved the chemistry between Michael Ealy (Dorian) and Karl Urban (Kennex). But, with the cost of producing the show and failing ratings I don't blame FOX for cancelling it.
