Science Fiction is just that, fiction, and when you put it into serialized form, it's gonna be even less real - as I see some reviewers complaining about - It's a story. It could be the Wild West or whatever. I like the twist of how/why the robot is included in this version - no spoilers from me - and I love to hate Doctor Smith - as I did with the original. Also, there's Toby Stephens, Molly Parker and Parker Posey! Along with Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa - can't beat that line up.
