Bad Robots? The Possibilities of Observation
The Arrival gave us a good opportunity to get up close and personal with Mr. Personality himself, The Observer. Some have speculated that he is an alien, others have suggested robot or cyborg connections, whilst others are unsure. The robot idea is an interesting one - he certainly resembles a robot at times, and his lack of any personality or emotion is often associated with robots (although there are people out there who hope to change that!). With this in mind I thought I’d take a look through the one of the websites referenced in the show - GlowingMonkeys.com. I think we should keep an eye on this site, if only to get a better understanding of the type of seemingly unbelievable and improbable sciences that the creators themselves are feeding on.
One article on the site links to a story on a life-like robot, who rather shockingly resembles our Observer (see above pic for comparison). But my point is not that they look a-like, but that the technology and initiative is out there - life-like robots are possible and the technology is only going to get better in the near future. I’m not saying that our creepy bald guy is definitely a robot, but it’s certainly a possible direction that they could take his story - especially with Massive - “What do we do?..What don’t we do” - Dynamic and the robotically armed Nina Sharp on the scene.
Feel free to weigh in - what are your thoughts? Is The Observer a robot, an alien or something entirely different? The poll awaits.
