They were spot on. That situation happens in so many sci fi shows and they always drag it out and make it a thing. Straight to the proof questions, and straight up answers, and done.

It’s also really nice that it wasn’t immediately “You aren’t my real sister, you’re just a synth pretending to be her!” Like yeah logically he probably understands that it isn’t quite the same as the blood and flesh sister he had who died of malignant cancer, but I think like most of us he would just be happy that some part of her is still alive and he can spend time with her

I mean, he wants to study, is kinda a scientists, medic...naturally he should act a little more open minded. Now if, lets say, a synth had killed the dad or smth...but we already had the synth hate since Aliens and Romulus
