"One moment of humanity"--teaching androids how to punch
One of the more ridiculous episodes was "One moment of humanity", where the robots looked like people and the people looked like robots, wearing masks and robes. The robots were in charge but they didn't know how to kill, so they brought Helena, Tony, Maya, and Koenig there, and started making some moves on Helena, in the hopes of getting Koenig angry so they would learn from him how to get angry and kill.
What a dopey episode! Why couldn't the androids learn from their own humans. The humans said it was because the androids didn't have the ability to remove their face masks. So the androids were in charge, but they couldn't even remove face masks? How unbelievable was this?
There's not much of a "how to" for killing--either pull a trigger, or smack someone with a fist. How much do you need to learn for that? Are we supposed to believe that the androids didn't know how to punch? Didn't they have a video on that somewhere they could watch?
Finally, all the androids were killed at the end by the intensity of emotion. How believable is that?
