Almost Human on Fox

[Backstep]

The series follows Detective John Kennex (Urban, Star Trek Into Darkness) and his android partner, Dorian (Michael Ealy, The Good Wife) in a future Los Angeles. It’s a world where artificial lifeforms have become commonplace in law enforcement, driving questions about what it means to be a person.

Total Recall: 2070.

The robot-cum-human premise has been examined almost ad nauseum by this point. That said, I won't hate on this particular show...yet. It's an interesting scifi premise I think, the question of when does AI attain sentience, yadda yadda.

Plus the show has Karl Urban, who is good, and it also stars Lily Taylor, the queen of bad indie films and lousy TV shows. She's a must watch type of actor.

(*Incidentally, some years ago I remember telling a friend of mine that I wanted to write a screenplay called LilyTaylor Got a Gun because for some reason she's played numerous characters that have shot people and/or held a gun. It reached the point of absurdity when just about every role I caught her in was some whacked-out crazy chick. Suffice to say, she is fab!)

Gutter -- mind -- remove it from.

I'm using it in the proper sense as defined here:

cum

/ko͝om/

Preposition
Combined with; also used as (used to describe things with a dual nature or function): "a study-cum-bedroom".

I watched the pilot episode at SDComicCon this year.

I really liked what I saw. Plus, I don't mind having an extended time to stare at Karl Urban, either. <grin>

In this future, human cops are required by law to have an android partner. They have no choice in the matter.

Urban's character has just returned to work after an extended period (a couple years) where he was recovering from a crippling injury he received during a nasty-ass firefight that killed his human partner.

He's got his prejudices against androids, as he was left alone by an android officer the day he lost his leg and his partner after the android decided his partner (although still breathing) was beyond saving.

Yeah, I made my wife /ko om/ 4x since this morning. I'm feeling a little drained right now. I'm waiting for blood to rush back up to my brain so I can think of something clever to say.
