I cant stand anymore about a human falling in love with a robot that doesnt even have human features as in the face.

It not only makes no sense time to MOVE ON to other story lines.

This comment might sound very bigoted. It was a lot fewer years ago when an interracial marriage was unimaginable. I guess inter-species would be next, assuming we find them (or vice versa). That timeline would probably determine if artificial intelligence relations come first or later. But, as I believe today on related issues, if it makes folks happy (or is acceptable for a mechanical life form), I'd be cool with it.

But yeah. If you can't suspend disbelief, science fiction might not be your best genre.

I thought the episode was great. Pretty sure I have a general idea of how it will turn out but not a clue about the specifics that will trigger it. I'm looking forward to next week's episode. And I hope they renew the series for future seasons. I haven't seen anything about that other than it might be doubtful. This is one of my favorite TV shows.
