Actually I believe this was addressed in Humans. Can any other fans of the show confirm?

The show Humans for me asks a lot of questions : not limited to do robots have feelings, do we rely too much on computers in our every day life and also at some point in the future will humankind prefer sex with a robot that has been attuned to their wants and desires while reproduction becomes something just done in laboratories - maybe controlled by robots?
Probably yeah.

Are you talking about receiving oral sex off a lifelike human simulacrum?

What about some sort of clockwork and steam operated vagina?

Yeah, my parents got my TV Go Home for christmas and I finished it the other week. Also giving Taboo a chance because the Frontier was loving shite Netflix.

Have I not been paying attention and Taboo has been about sexy robots all along? Because I'm up for that

I suspected as much, I imagine in a rare case they did the audio stuff first then wrote the book. Would explain the size and writing style a bit.

Because a TV show is only as good as the shortest summary you can write about it's plot?

Yes yes *strokes beard* very good, very good analysis. gently caress that popular piece of entertainment.

I eagerly await the new Futureworld series so we can add exact clones of peoples wifes to the robot loving mix.

Also go see Herring record his podcast if you have the opportunity, if nothing else £15 is excellent value to see two telly comedians in one night.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think it's absolutely loving incredible. But the entire timeline fuckery could be completely removed and it would be just as good, as if not better. That reveal felt like some 2006-era Lost knock off.

That's all down to Jonathan Nolan and his wife. Abrams just has his name on it to sell it. The idea was fine, the problem was the show dragging it along way past the point of reason since most people seemed to have figured it out. And then the show literally stops for 10 minutes to lay it all out for you.

I like the show fine. I hate the attitude of so many people who watch it that it's the smartest TV show there ever has been and anyone who doesn't find it totally exciting and arresting at all times is a worthless idiot peon. And it makes it even worse that it's not actually especially smart compared to most US cable stuff. I've never encountered it with any other show yet I'm seeing it EVERYWHERE with this one.

It's the first genuinely good British drama period piece on BBC in gently caress knows how long. People are reacting to the experience of seeing something actually good as opposed to the standard slop of Broadchurch, Judge Puncher QC, Midsummer, Line of Duty, and Generic Oh God Let's Hope For Sense & Sensibility Ratings 4: The Wrath of Bonnets.

I thought the point was that the hosts experience memories perfectly, so the time line confusion was experienced by the hosts in question, not just about pulling the wool over the viewers eyes for a clever reveal. To me, it showed that despite the use of memories to make the hosts appear more human the way they experienced those memories made them distinctly inhuman. Although that might just be me entering some Lost level wankerey.
