Almost Human 1.05 Blood Brothers **** SPOILERS ****

Episode Summary from en.wikipedia.org:

When one of two witnesses in the trial of genius philanthropist Ethan Avery (who stands accused of murdering a fertility geneticist) is killed, Kennex and Dorian are tasked with keeping the remaining witness, Maya (who underwent a procedure which allegedly allows her to talk with the souls of the dead), safe and solving the murder. It is later discovered the geneticist once was a specialist in cloning before legislation banned the science. When Kennex and Dorian are taking Maya to the precinct, they are intercepted by gunmen. Kennex kills one who is the spitting image of Ethan Avery, which leads to the belief that Avery knew Dr. Fuller because Fuller cloned Avery. Maya was shot in the shoulder and hospitalized, where she bonds and shares with Dorian. She got the procedure to be psychic to talk to her parents on the other side, but a fire destroyed their possessions, so now she never can. The gunmen found Maya because the MRX guarding the witnesses was destroyed and his police comm-link was taken. Det. Stahl goes to see Dr. Fuller’s mother, where she finds the evidence of cloning, but is captured and used as a hostage by Avery’s clones. Ethan killed Dr. Fuller because Fuller wanted to publish his findings. At the rendezvous, the clones see thorough the ploy and attempt to escape, only for Dorian to catch up and flip their van, killing the clones. Maya testifies and Avery goes to prison, Dorian visits Maya later and tells her that he looked into the arson case involving her parents. The episode concludes with Kennex and Stahl watching a soccer game and drinking bourbon, an event that Maya had predicted earlier.

I’m not sure this show is worth obsessing about on a weekly basis, but this episode was darn good entertainment.

The DRM facility was freeeeky as were the Ken Doll versions. I can see why a human, or a DRM that thinks like a human wouldn’t want to be anywhere near there.

So 35 years in the future and the iPhone 5S is the same fit form for Detective Kennex’s phone? While that may be true I’m hoping we will evolve to something a bit different. I’ve always had issue with this show and it’s failure to forecast a revolutionary future, so this is not a surprise to me. On one hand we have 3D holographic off-site legal testimony and projections the police can use and on the other hand we have iPhone 5S’s. Police Androids that think like a human with a soul and cars straight out of Detroit today. I could go on but what’s the point?

So Dorian runs the entire episode without a chest plate. Why? If the only purpose was to give Kennex a reason to visit droid-ville that was done int he first seconds of the show. The chest plate should have been procured by the end of the show.

Seeing Kavan Smith as the prosecuting attorney was nice. I hope we get to see him again.

I’m not surprised Detective Stahl is a sports fan. I mean she did get her big break in Friday Night Lights after all.

it was a nice touch that Dorian gave Maya the evidence box at the end of the show.

It was also nice Blade Runner-esk music at the end of the episode.
