Electric Sheep Part II – Cylons

Last week, I got flashbacks to A.I. Artificial Intelligence when reading about the androids and their personalities. This week, with the establishment of Pris and Rachael Rosen being the same model, I immediately flashed back to watching Battlestar Galactica (the cool new version, not the weird 1970s version). Specifically, Rachael/Pris reminded me of Cylon No. 6 (a hot blonde) from Battlestar. On one hand, you got Pris, who does not seem completely evil, although she is kind of off-putting. But she is still a contrast to her clone, Rachael, who is a seductive woman (although her body is described as flawed) who tries to bend men to her advantage. About the same scenario played out with No. 6, although she was more likeable. For the reason in which I get to think of Battlestar, which is perhaps the best thing on TV (well, Netflix, since the series is not airing new episodes anymore), instead of A.I. (a bad movie), I much enjoyed the second half of Electric Sheep more. Now I'll have to see Blade Runner, but not before I get some nice sleepy time in a few minutes.
