I just started watching this.

The future of law enforcement.

It's not awful.

I watched the first six episodes in the last couple weeks. Watched Ep 7 yesterday. I think I'm pretty much through with it. They used up all the novelty of the premise and have fallen pretty much into formula already.

It's not a horrible show, it's just not worth my time when there are so many other things on I want to see right now.

I agree that it's pretty well done, though.

I saw the pilot episode.
"Cute" androids ended with Mr. Data.
I use to love shows like this -- SiFi stuff. I still enjoy reruns of The Six Million Dollar Man even though he was really a cyborg. Some other cyborg/android Sifi was interesting -- in fact Isaac Asimov's I Robot series with the laws of robotics was imaginative and fun.
Twiki on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was silly.:roll:
Lost in Space's Robot was cleverly done for 1960s TV.
The robot on Forbidden Planet was formidible, and even more impressive than the Lost in Space robot as it was a decade earlier.

They used up all the novelty of the premise and have fallen pretty much into formula already.

This. I guess I just "saw it coming."
Or I guess maybe I have reached a point in life where all the stuff is old.

I just loved it in the last one where the real cop shot the droid that wouldn't shut up

 

[IrishCop]

Yeah, Charlie, that was funny. And you have to admit that was one obnoxious android.

Really, for a Monday night early prime time show, I don't think it's too awfully bad. I think it might last a season or two.

And isn't the actor who plays the cop the same guy that plays McCoy in the new Star Trek movies?

Ayefirmative.

 

[t-star]

now if only we stage something where c3p0 meets the same fate

 

[Charlie Petty]

Sorry… I gave up on Star Trek after the first one.

I don't think it is but it's better than most Monday stuff

 

[t-star]

star WARS not star trek

 

[TommyGunn]

I detect thread drift ... :mrgreen:

Didn't see that but sounds kinda like in the first episode where the hero shoves the noseybot out of the car and under the bus*.

*Semi-truck, actually. A big one.

 

[WaltGraham]

John Larroquette makes an appearance next week.

LOL @ TG.

 

[Charlie Petty]

trek...wars... seen one seen all

 

[Kevin Gibson]

Yeah, Charlie, that was funny. And you have to admit that was one obnoxious android.

I thought he NAILED the McCoy character.

Let us NEVER get started on the Trek Dreck mess. If I had been writing it, I just would have selected an Enterprise of the many available and put in a new crew. Instead the Hollywackadoos had to follow "THE HOLY SACRED FORMULA" and rewrite future history with time travel.
BUT, that's OK, the movie was a hit and we are stuck with it.

Who demands a sane and logical behavior in my SF&F or at least reasonably consistent.

 

[Skeptic49]

Let me get this straight a Cop destroys megabucks in Department equipment and doesn't end up fired or walking a beat in Pookipsie?
Geoff
Who suspension of disbelief failed the sanity check watching the first show repeat.

Yeah Geoff, but they never show what happens after a cop shoots someone in the "real life" TV dramas either.
