    Just Too Many Religious Implications

    Due to their own carelessness, humans have been eliminated from earth and robots have sway over the planet. There must be some residual danger because the robots have goon squads that comb the planet for possible human presence. A pair of android/robots have done the Frankenstein vat thing and created a handsome twenty-something man. He has all the features of humanity, including curiosity and passion and he becomes a danger to his creators. One of the unanswered questions is what purpose do these artificial characters serve? What drives them? They are programmed to know that humans are a bad lot, but we see them walking around, human-like, in their day-to-day existences. And why are two of them moved to create life. It's interesting, but the writers can't resist getting into classical Christian religion. There's even a crucifixion. The new human's name is Cain, so he is obviously up to no good, I guess. But isn't he the hero. The ending is about as bad as it can be and we can see it coming a mile away.

    A NEW BEGINNING FOR HUMANITY

    We are in the future, the machines have revealed themselves to humans, they have extinguished them and are ruling the Earth. A couple of robots get through a cloning process to recreate a man of flesh and blood, they raise and educate him even knowing that they are at risk of being destroyed by their peers since it is against the laws of this new world to even mention the humans. This only man on Earth must try to access the power generation center that provides life robots to deactivate it and try to start a new human civilization. A very good episode with a great display of production, outstanding performances and an intelligent script.

    • Goofs
      Moloch says that there have been no android conclusions (deaths) since the extinction of humanity. However, earlier in the episode, the military androids kill an android on the street.
    • Quotes

      Control Voice: We live. We die. We live again. If we accept the tenuous fragilty of our plant and ourselves, perhaps We can avoid the necessity of rebirth in the distant future. Perhaps we can begin the second dawning of humankind today.
