Just finished watching this before bed. You could definitely tell this episode should have aired earlier. Kennex and Dorian had a much colder vibe in their relationship.

at Kennex shooting the MX that wouldn't stop talking.

The weapon featured in this episode was cool. at Dorian taking the bullet and then speaking Korean. Loved him singing K pop.

My favorite bit:

Richard (to Kennex): You better watch your ass.
Captain Moldonado: Get out of here and let me handle this. Kennex, we have a problem.
Kennex: I agree. What do you think he wants to do to my ass?

Great episode!

Since I learned they were showing the first episodes out of order, I'm always wondering about that when watching a new episode. And yeah, I knew this one was an earlier episode, I didn't check this thread before watching it, and it bothered me a little.

I thought this could have been a good second episode, not sure why they skipped it.

The last 5 is where they "advance" the story, right?

And to top it off, no new episode for 3 weeks! They are really trying to stretch out these 13 episodes.

Enjoyed the episode (except for the jarring bits due to it being shown out of sequence) and found the references to MEMS interesting (having worked on some early MEMS devices "back in the day"). The bit with guy in the lab asking about undercover ops (eventually doing one, but it was shown first) was amusing.

Good news. Ratings were up. Now 2.0. Looks like people are finally discovering it and giving it a shot. The procedural aspect probably helps too.

Cool episode. I think Kennex might need a few extra anger management sessions! The personalized bullet plot reminds me of an 80s film called Runaway with Tom Selleck. That's not a bad thing because it's still an interesting concept. I can't believe we have to wait three weeks for a new episode.

I kept thinking of Runaway too. I also thought the group therapy scene was pretty good, when Kennex started talking about how great his life was compared to the other guy in the session.

Re: Almost Human -- "You Are Here" -- 1/13/14

maybe im a sicko, but was there a bestiality joke in the therapy session, when he talks about killing the dog, getting rid of the wife and never ever eating peanut butter again?

^Probably. Because when he said "Anal", I'm pretty sure they wanted you to think he was talking to the therapist instead of some guy named Anil.

Why do they do that? It throws things off.
I liked the episode a lot but I could tell this was an early episode.
3 weeks can hurt but just as long as it doesn't get cancelled.

That was such a great cheesy 80's movie!

I'm beginning to really love this show, especially the interaction between Dorian and Kennex.

It wasn't a big thing but if they played the episodes in order the sexbot line would have foreshadowed the sexbot episode.
