You should watch it, it's not bad. It's not "I, Robot" (but how could it be, really)...it's a solid science fiction movie.

I think the fact that it was horribly unfaithful to the novel bothered me most, but at the most basic level you could draw a comparison between its premise and this show. Only this show is superior to I, Robot in about every way.

No, but the problem of evil isn't new to most philosophy students. So the comment simply tells me that Omega Spawn isn't familiar with ancient philosophy/basic philosophy. It's not a judgment call; it's a statement of observation. I meant no disrespect.


But you're implying the quote is new to me.

Hrm. Maybe if it's on Netflix? I have changed my mind before.

Seriously, if you intend to get butthurt over it, k. I even clarified that I didn't intend to disrespect you as a means of mitigating the unintended spite my post generated. Your even more rude reply just means any attempt at amiability was wasted.

Sorry, Mindset. This was not phrased in the form of a question. No points this round.

Which is exactly why I claimed that the basic premise was the same, which it is. It being horrid or not has nothing to do with anything.

It's a sig for crying out loud. Not the sort of thing which should warrant a GDF-style discussion. Come on.

I also said no disrespect... 😐
I guess you can say whatever as long as you say no disrespect .
But the same doesn't apply to me ?

Fair enough. It just seemed like a comparison being used for a judgment call. You said it "feels too much like I, Robot", as if that was a good reason to avoid it. I replied "it's much better", to give you my opinion in case you hadn't seen it.

It's a sig for crying out loud. Not the sort of thing which should warrant a GDF-style discussion. Come on.

I'm not sure why it warranted that kind of attention either. It wasn't my intention to derail or refocus the thread. I genuinely enjoy the show, which is why I even comment here.

I indicated that you hadn't been exposed to ancient philosophy based on your reaction. You called me a pretentious ass after the fact. Maybe a degree of difference there. But I don't want to dwell on this and make everyone else irritated further. I didn't really intend to piss you off.

I can retrospectively see that, lacking LOLCATS and smilies how my post could seem harsh, assinine, etc. I'm sorry for that. It's easy to forget that people don't read my posts with the same tone I mentally use as I compose them. My other reply wasn't very nice either because now I too was offended. I got carried away.

But I do not intend to make any more enemies than I already have (I can't make enough time in the day for the ones I've got).

Please excuse my apparent rudeness. Let's continue talking about the show. Like how the guy from Night Court went over the Wall.

Spoiler:
What is the Wall? I missed part of the show that night.

The fact that target-locked bullets are supposed to be the next-gen world changing tech on this show makes that episode all the more awful imo.

I still don't get why I am hooked onto this show.

That was kinda weak considering they have like nigh-perfect AI, cloning, and so on.

The Tv Tropes page for the series is pretty amusing already.

The Wall hasn't been explained thus far to my knowledge. Near as I can tell, it's a seperation between what's basically civilized society and an anarchist no man's land. That makes me think it's another shout out. Wasn't Dredd's Megacities surrounded by walls, too?

It was. Good catch.

Watched the first 3 eps; they were okay. Thinking about watching the rest marathon style once season 1 ends.

Is it worth it?

I really liked this show, tbh. I'll be very disappointed if they don't renew it. The technological takes on crime are a hell of a lot more refreshing than any other cop drama out there.

Thanks. Didn't know S1 had ending. I'll probably pick it up in a week or two.

Am not happy.

Not unexpected, but still disappointing.

WTF, I did a marathon style viewing and ended up enjoying this show, but now it's cancelled. Stupid ***** should at least do a second season to tie it up for viewers.

Of course this is the Fox network. Home of the One Season Wonders....
