Karl Urban is a not a human being. Not in the technical sense of the term. Oh, sure, he might look human. He might walk and talk like a human. He might even like to think he's human. But Karl Urban would be wrong! For Karl Urban is actually an extraordinary machine that has been programmed to think he is Karl Urban. Karl Urban does not know this, though sooner or later, he will, and when he does, Karl Urban will be very sad. Poor Karl Urban!No, we speak not of the real-world Karl Urban, star of Star Trek and Dredd, but the character that this fine actor plays on the new sci-fi buddy cop drama Almost Human, which premiered Sunday night on Fox. Urban is John Kennex, a police officer in the near-future where human cops work side by side with robot cops. The pilot episode gives John a new partner, a humanoid android with buggy emotional components named Dorian, played by Michael Ealy.
I am convinced that one of the big twists of this new series from J.J. Abrams and Fringe mastermind J.H. Wyman — both of whom are fond of big twists — is that John Kennex will mysteriously get younger as the saga progresses, while Dorian mysteriously, rapidly ages and corrodes. Okay,The index is up 0.4 percent this month, a muted gain Motion controller compared with October, when it rose 4.5 percent as investors bet that the Fed would continue with its economic stimulus after a 16-day government shutdown crimped growth and hurt consumer confidence.I certainly did not have dry cleaning machine even a slightest idea of what was coming. that was a joke. A literary joke! No, my very serious theory is that John Kennex ain't a human being at all. He's a robot,Pan-European law enforcement agency Europol has announced the take-down of a global D-Cycloserine gang of cybercrooks thought to be responsible for compromising point-of-sale (POS) terminals in Europe and North America, netting 30,000 sets of card details. too! Or something very close to it. The pilot establishes that he has a bionic leg to replace the one that got blown off during a firefight with bad guys known as The Syndicate. But I assert that the rest of him is made of fabricated from sci-fi hoo-ha, too. Why do I believe in such a thing? Clues, man! Clues! Come, theorize with me.
Almost Human — a story set in dystopian 2048, about a crusty-haunted cop who resents robots yet develops a bromantic relationship with one — is conspicuous with similarities to Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic set in dystopian 2019 , about a crusty-haunted ex-cop named Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) who hunts renegade bioengineered beings, or Replicants, and falls in love with one. First, Urban could pass for Ford, don't you think? Second, Blade Runner and the pilot episode of Almost Human have scenes set in downtown noodle joints. They also have scenes set in black-market medical clinics. Blade Runner: The scene with Chew, the dude who makes eyeballs. Almost Human: The scene with John visiting a "Recollectionist." In Blade Runner, Deckard was hunting Replicants who had worked in space. In Almost Human, Dorian was assigned to work on a space station before being re-assigned to be John's partner.
