And again, I don't know why you insist on using computers instead of just allowing them to stun (or beat up with their bare hands, or use improvised weapons) everyone first, and have their actions reviewed later with the understanding that helmet wearers are fair game for anything, but normal civilians are not.

The robot doesn't need to broadcast anything if the dominator works the way we think it does, so that argument is moot. The dogs were probably cyborgs, so they had organic brains.

I will repeat this, since you completely ignored it: You should find it strange that it takes so long to develop videogames. After all, the technology to make videogames already exists, right? Last edited by Dengar; 2013-02-13 at 20:45. |

I know that the clean-up that comes afterward is a pain, but in this case, the point is for there to be an "afterward". Admittedly, I do have experience with badly designed, badly documented code that nobody dares to touch. Quote:

By the way, do you think each and every security patch takes years to develop? Instead of, you know, hours or days? And we're talking about things that are even more constrained than what we have here. In normal IT, a security patch that breaks the application wouldn't be acceptable. Here, if they end up stunning a hockey team or something, it's a pretty acceptable collateral damage. |

Of course, I still wonder why I even NEED to think up why something just isn't possible when it's evident from the story that it isn't. If it were, they would've done it. |

You don't need to point a dominator directly at a person's brain, so this point is moot. Quote:
Of course, if you're interested in a more 'real' reason, is because if you could magically upgrade your drones to bash everyone's head whenever they can't recognize a human face, then we wouldn't be having these riots or anything. Not to mention the ethical issues. |

Reading the programming off my watch is a completely different task. Reading any kind of electronic brain, down to the states of all its semi-conductors, and building an accurate model of its behavior - to have that possible just because I used the "brain" in the previous sentence feels like the simplistic rule used in "magic". Like "believe and you can fly", or "only the true king can pull the sword", or "recite a certain formula to set someone on fire". Don't worry about how, it just works! And for a machine to be able to do that and not recognize a robot when it sees it - that's just outlandish. Whatever emissions it uses to read the robot's "thoughts" would be distorted by the robot's chassis, so it'd have to know what it looks like to take it into account. Quote:

Wrong analogy, a better analogy would be that a card reader can somehow know its owner's gender, which obviously doesn't make sense. |

Show, you haven't earned the right to name-drop writers and works like that, so quit it. Makishima's monologues are words-words-words. They're nowhere nearly as clever as the show thinks they are.
The PSB's response is somewhere between inadequate, laughable and irresponsible. If your entire force amounts to a couple of dozen investigators and enforcers, then you'd want to husband that force until they get reinforced. Sending them out in penny packets is beyond stupid. I get what this episode was trying to get at, but it doesn't have enough verisimilitude to pull it off. I also the story a lot more when it was called "Die Hard with a Vengeance".

Despite the hilarious ease of bypassing the system, one can only imagine that people were conditioned to not even think of such things, because of fear of the consequences. I mean if you were to realize that a dominator was going to make you implode/explode that tends to affect matters, as well as the rather extensive preventive measures society has in place.
Makishima certainly views himself as a revolutionary, though it becomes more evident that any goals of noble revolution goes out the window with this episode. Imposing freedom on others isn't exactly freedom itself. It seems to me that he seems to be more of an opportunist that took advantage of people's insecurities in current society to really fulfill his agenda for chaos.
