That could be the one for me....

You got me thinking. Do they make synths to customers bespoke requirements? If you had an idea of what would be tour 'perfect 10', could they prepare a mock up on a CAD system, and when it looks right, build it for you.

I know!

So, this is some kind of parallel universe (maybe anything's possible?) but I don't think they've tapped into "what people want" in specific terms. This (to me) makes the synth/human interactions quite real and understandable - and that's where ( I think) other people's issues with this series start to arise. Because you can't try and analyse it too closely and expect it to still be entertaining once you've peeled all the grapes.....

Mia's reaction was rather surprising. Over reaction malfunction?

A cunning ruse I reckon.

I think she programmed herself with the 'phone and it was a deliberate plan!

When a teenage boy gets invited into a teenage girl's bedroom, given the green light the first thought is - can I not interact with the 'real' you. Thereby passing up the opportunity...he must be a lad of estimable self control and has come a long way (don't snigger) since series 1.

This bks is getting slower and slower.

I'm pretty certain she used the phone to set herself to back to 'dumb machine' mode. I'm not sure if it was a clever ruse. It could be the reaction of an emotionaly immature girl being rejected by her first love. "I can't bare this, I'd rather be dead' type of thing. Synths are less demonstrative, but the point of the series is the emotions are just as real.

The green lights were her eyeballs though. What was the packet of sweets all about? He mumbled something, but I couldn't make it out.

Why hasn't someone made a synth with large breasts?

They do seem to come with an invisible bullet detecting shield though I've noticed...

She did but her "personality" / consciousness will be held in the phone, surely?
Leo will work it out and re-boot Mia.

I'm still enjoying it so far - I think the chase down of Niska was a bit too half hearted really.

I think Mia will go "home" to be programmed by the daughter back to Anita.

The Seraphs though - I'm not sure where that might be going .....

Ah - good point on the daughter.
(As an aside it was very annoying that she plugs the "immature" consciousness code into Odi and the 1/100,000 chance of him becoming conscious - works out...)

Surely if you are introducing consciousness parents are going to want to raise one of these "children" (the newly conscious synths often refer to themselves as such - which is accurate given the way Hester behaves) - so having little ones that can learn would be a solid money-spinner.

You then send them into the world without telling anyone so that you can slowly gain world domination as Google/Qualia OBVIOUSLY want to do that...

Just checking, but you know that the teenage girl is human, right?

Spoiler alert.

Why would you need children androids as they will never grow up physically.

Annual service?
Update the OS AND hardware?

I thought the same thing.

Unless .......

We're heading for something seriously iffy.

^^^ annual update mentioned in the "advert"....

[The Don of Croy]

How does a synth travel? Passport? Baggage class?

If they're all out looking for you - and they have enhanced powers over mere humans - how does one travel from UK to Germany undetected?

Slower than a slow thing. Makes the Archers seem dynamic and happening.

Slooooow and reminds me too much of this

I'm out

[K12beano]

Well...

More and more interesting on some levels about how Synths and Humans would/might interact!


Yeah - a bit slow on many other levels...

I was fully expecting robocop to take out terminator woman, maybe next week.

Put.

The wig.

Back on.
