All through this show, we have been wondering what happened to that Robot Head from the Pilot.
Finally, at long last...
We get to see now, it belongs to an unstoppable killing machine, who has no compunctions against killing everyone it sees. Only kind words from a child seems to stop it from inserting bullets into a human being. So... It can be Flattered.
From the start of this episode, it just shows that as modern and intelligent as these mid 21st century cops are, they still are not smart enough to figure out a trick and Trojan Horse gambit when one is played on them.
Otherwise, they would have seen a huge red flag, when the Robot kills it's way back to a warehouse containing Sex-Bots and change bodies, it runs smack into it's creator, and the creator agrees to help them "Find it and Stop it". Why would this 'Bot, who seemed to have no trouble killing everyone in it's way, leave one man alive?
John Larroquette makes an appearance as "Dr. Nigel Vaughn" - Creator of "Danika" - A Robot that went ballistic during it's unveiling and killed half of the police force taking it down. But there is something else - He also made the DRN's - aka "Dorian". Hints are inserted regarding exactly what "Synthetic Soul" really is, is there more to it than Dr. Vaughn says?
So, Dr Vaughn does help them spot this Beserker's movements, but they can't figure out her motives, except that she is heading to a Political Fundraiser where they guy who put an end to the DRN's on the Police Force was putting on a Gala. Why would a Robot seek Revenge - Unless it was Programmed into her to do it, or, was a ruse?
Both Danika and Dorian use the same "Synthetic Soul" module. So why is Dorian not out shooting civilians? Ironically, when Dorian confronts Danika, she tells him that they are both "Sacrifices" of some sort: To Be Continued.
Questions start arising, as in: Was Dorian planted as Kennex' partner? Because Kennex was involved in a fight with INsyndicate, they are his personal enemy, and they were keeping tabs on him, even 2 years after his initial bout with them. Why are they so interested in Kennex? And this also brings up the point that INsyndicate could have continued their pogrom during the two years Kennex was incapacitated - So why did they wait two whole years before they started up again - On the very first day Kennex got back? Not to mention, Dorian gets re-activated and made into Kennex' Partner.
There are a lot of Grey areas here, motives that are not clear.
It seems that the Danika robot was not the issue, this was all about Dr Vaughn- He wanted his Synthetic Souls, and he also wanted the main CPUs to build a hundred new Danika robots.
But where can he set up a factory?
This is where we hear more about "The Wall" - Apparently there is no civilization beyond it. No Civilization, and no way to find Vaughn once he jumps over it.
How big is this area of lawlessness? Is it bigger than the City Kennex defends? Is it bigger than the World Kennex defends?
All we are shown is a huge Wall - And Dr Vaughn going over it with enough Synthetic Souls and other gadgetry to build an army of Danikas.
Gina Carano is a fighter, and it has been said that the people she fights for have a huge problem with her: How can someone so beautiful be so vicious? This is perhaps the best role for her yet. And just because she was blown up in this episode, doesn't mean we will not see more, and more, and more of her in Almost Human.
