Cosmo Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 That is one issue in the show Extant. Some people are afraid Androids will eventually get too smart and simply destroy humanity, so there are people on the show wanting to destroy the child android. It's a valid concern. After all, it would still be a machine basing all decisions on pure logic, wouldn't it? @PaulaJedi mentioned this show in another thread, but I didn't want to derail her topic by asking about it. Have you guys seen it? I've got them all DVRd but I haven't bothered to watch it yet - Is it worth the time? Who here has seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaJedi Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 You know I've seen it, but I find it very original and creative. It takes place in the future but not TOO FAR into the future, so you get to see cool inventions that could really happen one day, like a thin, transparent phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've seen it. I loved it. It's sci fi. Much better than cop dramas or reality shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaJedi Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've seen it. I loved it. It's sci fi. Much better than cop dramas or reality shows. The first season just ended. I hope it comes back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Cool! I'm going to give it a watch later tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaJedi Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Cool! I'm going to give it a watch later tonight You'll love the technology and inventions like the computer in the mirror. I can see this all coming, too. The only issue I have is that they still use 2014 cars, except they have the ability to self-drive. But, I'm sure the aim was to make it not too far off into the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I believe the ratings for this show were better than most. Overall good ratings. But still no update on whether the show will be renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulaJedi Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yes, renewed, along with Under the Dome. Yay! http://deadline.com/2014/10/under-the-dome-extant-renewed-reckless-cancelled-cbs-848606/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScornedTramp Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I liked it, but all the product placement was a bit much, and the acting was really dramatic, all the time. Not Halle's best performance ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
