The collars reminded me of Fallout 3 but that sort of thing has been done before. I liked the episode but thought one thing was silly. One guy moving a big guy and no one notices it.
Dorian came off as kind of scary at times but they didn't play it that way. The you have soft hair comment was really creepy. Kind of reminded me of Of Mice and Men.

emotional Dorian was fucking awesome.
this show is so awesome. enough future tech where it's not distracting, but it's also integral to the story.

Decent episode. The whole "charging" thing was kind of silly. The guy starts having problems when he still has 47% (or more?) of his charge remaining? kind of dumb.
It's also probably never going to be brought up as a deus ex machina again.
I agree about the tech... might be my favorite part of the show... it's never so tremendously outlandish, where it all seems possible within the next 30 years. (my favorite remains the DNA bomb... that's fucking genius).

awesome, they have force field tech too. So why don't all the cops carry force field shields or armor?

Great episode.
Emotional and cranky Dorian was awesome. And especially when he got all fired up in front of Detective Paul.
This role was tailor made for Michael Ealy.
