Almost Human Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

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.

clips from pilot

pilot

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 .

Episode 2 clips

1x02 Skin

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 .

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

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.

Are You Receiving?

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

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

Arrhythmia

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 .

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

Reply 41#41 codebreaker's post
