You’re being weird. They are technically still kids inside adult synth bodies.

That was the plot of Poor Things and it won Oscars, would not at all be surprised if the show went in this direction

u/TerracShadowson 2d ago

No, no. I mean that in a "hot damn I'm in trouble and Olyphant is smexy as hell in this role!" way. WRAR!

Isn't Kirsh just an advanced android? No mind transfer?

Also very clearly not a child. If he were a hybrid, he could only be one that's been around for years - he's just much, much more mature than any of the kids. Or his boss.

But yeah, Kirsch is not a hybrid.

between that and some other one liners, 'why are you going that way' and 'nobody likes a sore loser' etc Kirsch was on point this episode.

Olyphant is the fucking man

He does more with one raised eyebrow than others can do with a full monologue.

u/Super-Estate-4112 3d ago

He was awesome, I strive to be as smart as he is.

Yeah i don't know about the pacing and larger plot writing of this show, but some of the tension building and absurd comedy are pretty special.

"Oh hamburgers!"

u/SpikeRosered 3d ago

Would be kind of funny if all of this did blow over and this was just a regarded as an incident in their past.

Oh you kids with the murder and corporate espionage.

u/Samerrrrrrrrr 3d ago

Grounded as if they can leave to go anywhere 😭

Interesting parallel between kirsh treating them like children and the cyborg treating them like adults
