I was really hoping for an exploration of Bortus' dating history, extended family, and board game preferences, but I guess this new arc will have to do.

(A bit OT): As one of those adherents, allow me to recommend a book to anyone who is curious, that will scare the crap out of you and/or make you an adherent too:
Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

It's by an MIT prof and I picked it up after Elon Musk recommended it. AI is going to literally restructure our world economy and culture, probably within our lifetimes.

Yeah that was my favorite throwaway line of the episode.

Starships don't have restrooms or trash cans. Not sure how to make it clearer.

Yep! I noticed that as well and pointed it out to my wife.

Does anyone else suspect that a computer virus will be used to subdue the Borg, er, Kaylons?

Noonan

Maybe they'll load Bortis' porn program to their home world?

(Navin Johnson voice) These red shirts are defective. Wait a minute...they hate red shirts! Stay away from the red shirts everybody! Aagh! More red shirts!

That or a magnetic pulse.

I hope we're not heading for a let down in part 2. I kept thinking the Kaylons are doing a big practical joke since they brought up Isaac cutting off Malloy's leg. I don't think they'll do that lazy way out, but it was the first thing I thought of.

Just saw this on imdb trivia, I thought it sounded familiar for some reason.
Every time I see a kid's bad drawing I always think of this:


Ding Ding! Here comes the shit-mobile. I've never seen a fire truck that needed to be shaved. I would rather be burned to death than be saved by this hairy piece of shit. F

Loved that scene because that is so me. Give me that big sexy corner piece with the flower!

I'm just the opposite. I always take interior slices since they have less frosting.

Honestly, those robots would look cooler without the "eyes". But whatever...

Noonan

Did Issac's model from last year have the seams in the head used to open up in this episode? I feel like it was smooth all around last year but now there are very visible seams to justify the opening up with guns.

Lifepawn

If they reverse the polarity on the robots communication signals to blue-eyed models than Isaac will have to think for himself and can be convinced to re-join the crew. Or maybe Klyden will stare at them all disapprovingly until they surrender. Both seem equally possible with this show.

Deftones

That was cool episode. There is no doubt Isaac will turn and help the crew.

They certainly upped the action in this episode but I had many of the same complaints.

A) Give me a middle piece because I prefer less frosting.
B) How did that kid just stroll off the ship?
C) How was he not seen on the planet?
D) Wouldn't they have disposed of the bodies better than that?
E) You are being boarded so you have two people at a time offer a frontal assault to a superior force?
F) There are no internal defenses to intruders? Can't you at least lock a fucking door?
G) Why has Adrienne Palicki not returned any of my 3000 texts, tweets, emails and letters? I know damn well I'm not being creepy.

melasnus

I wondered about those things too.
This was common in the original ST.
Robotic arrogance if I've ever seen it...
"Locks? We don't need no stinkin' locks!"
For the same reason why cyclops has been ignoring mine.

Federation starships had force fields on their decks. I assume the robots disabled all security protocols, including the force fields, doors, etc.
