LOL - I called the character of Joe's son 'Creepy Pervert Kid' and a friend of the actor who plays the character showed it to the actor. And now it seems to have turned into a running joke among the younger cast on there.

Oh but when the dad was asking Anita to track the car he asked to check if someone called Tom lived in the street, I presumed it was connected.
But I forgot the other Tom was to to do with the photo of a young boy, oops. Quote:
Errr gross. So she IS a synth? You'd think she'd get better hair if she's clever enough to work out how to eat/drink. Still I'm relieved she's not just a really crap actress. Katherine Parkinson isn't a synth as well is she?
![]() I wondered about the drinking thing last week with Niska when she ordered something in the bar. I thought it must look odd if she did that and then didn't drink anything. Which raises a lot of questions about how she can be advanced and in hiding,

I think the dad assumed Tom must be someone she was having an affair with, which means he must not know who Tom is either (Laura must never have talked about him).
Yep she is a synth, I thought she was. Which raises a lot of questions about how she can be advanced and in hiding,Is she the missing 5th advanced synth that Danny Webb mentioned before. We thought maybe they'd confused Leo for the 5th synth but perhaps they haven't and it's her. We need to see her with one of the other advanced synths to know but what would bring their stories together? Oh execpt she was told to investigate Niska so perhaps that will do it...? |

You can't even turn her on mate. |

Well we know Niska has coloured contacts so she must have the same. Niska also has much more lifelike movement so it must be possible to do it. Do we know how long their charge can last for?
Is she the missing 5th advanced synth that Danny Webb mentioned before. We thought maybe they'd confused Leo for the 5th synth but perhaps they haven't and it's her. We need to see her with one of the other advanced synths to know but what would bring their stories together? Oh execpt she was told to investigate Niska so perhaps that will do it...? Danny Webb just figured out in this episode that Leo was the 5th synth (when he was questioning the modder bloke who told him about Leo and Max coming to look for Mia, and modder said that Leo was a human-"well he bled red"-Danny Webb called the rest of his team and said "It's not 5 synths, it's 4 synths and a human"), so looks like he doesn't know about police woman either. Police woman looking for Niska may well be how their stories tie together. Quote:

![]() One thing that I have been wondering about is that week when Leo and Max were running from Paul Kaye, why did they turn the synths that were on the stairs on so they fell down the stairs? I doubt it's a plot thing but it's been bothering me. ![]() Quote:
I meant more where she came from than how she faked being human, did she get made by Elster? If so then how come she was out on her own (the others have never mentioned looking for her so I presume they don't know she exists)? If not then who did make her or did she come to be sentient on her own?
Danny Webb just figured out in this episode that Leo was the 5th synth (when he was questioning the modder bloke who told him about Leo and Max coming to look for Mia, and modder said that Leo was a human-"well he bled red"-Danny Webb called the rest of his team and said "It's not 5 synths, it's 4 synths and a human"), so looks like he doesn't know about police woman either. ) so I missed that. I'll watch it properly next weekend before the new ep.I don't think there's any chance of a synth becoming sentient on their own - I reckon she was made by Elster. |

You do need to have a decent level of understanding of human behaviour to be a detective though that you would think would be hard for a synth to develop. Then again, Anita seems pretty good at this, and she's not even working properly. Perhaps her career history is falsified, or at least part of it? I would expect synths to find hacking pretty simple to do. |

Why would it slow them though - if you just threw something inanimate it would slow them. They didn't need to turn them on to do that.

Well I've been saying for weeks she's a freakin synth - I'm sticking to it unless it's proved otherwise.
I spoilered a question last week week about imdb because it was showing cop synth as only being in 3 episodes and I wondered if it could be wrong. It obviously is wrong as we're now on ep 4 and she's been in them all. Ooh if Anita is 14 years old is she the brother who died? I didn't realise the synths had been around that long. Quote:
This is why it's all a bit ewww to me - when you know there are people out there who do it with dolls - ugh I'm creeping myself out just thinking about it. I thought this was going to be a cerebral programme about what it means to be human.
![]() I dunno about cheating but it would be enough for me to show a bloke the door. Just too weird. As far as "how is she programmed to have sex?" pretty poorly what we saw, I think its more a case of allowing it, rather her suddenly becoming a sex champion. Quote:
A synth recharging shop. From the outside it looked like a slightly run down Internet cafe.
Synths are all owned, domestic synth charge easily at home, and those owned by a firm, can be stored on site (you saw a warehouse with synths), those owned by a local council, would most like return to a base owned by the council, with charging ports owned by the council, no need for public charging. Niska, well I guess she has had her journey of self discovery, and realises that yes she is a synth, but obviously thinks herself better than the "dumb" synths, and is happy to go back to Leo, who continues to walk the line between and synth, first we have the suggestion he is part synth, then we learn he was born human, but finally we see him being able to read synth programming, it seems like not only is some of his body synth, some of his mind is as well. Our female cop synth, what is she? well we know what she is, but why is she, why is a synth pretending, where Leo says he needs all the synths together to view the programming, does he need her? is the cop the creators experiment as to can one of his creations pass for human? |

They said Anita was 14 years old, so Police Synth could be a similar age. That would give her plenty of time to rise up the ranks. It does seem unlikely that people wouldn't detect she's 'a bit odd', but then her partner isn't exactly stable either and he's human, so perhaps another oddball wouldn't stand out?
You do need to have a decent level of understanding of human behaviour to be a detective though that you would think would be hard for a synth to develop.

That seems to be the most logical explanation to me. Getting to DI would take quite some time so suspicions would be raised if she never appeared to age!

Maybe she moved around between police forces. There's no reason she'd have to stay with one force to become a DI and if she only worked 3 or 4 years in each place nobody would get suspicious of her not ageing.
I think this is probably going to be a plot hole that we'll have to swallow. But the series has been great so far, therefore I can forgive it. |
