Those robots in episode 23 I think it was that attacked the Smith mansion in order to capture Dorothy and extract her memories. Tachikomas would own those things BTW. |

If ya ask me, the Pink Scorpion Bots are just a retro-ized version of the Tachikoma. I bet the Big O mecha designers did just that.
Well, we all know plenty about the Tachikoma. I'm curious about the Uchikoma. Does SSS show any Uchikoma in action?

Tachikomas versus Arachnid Warriors. I like this idea.  Versus  And I thought so far, all we'd seen of the Uchikoma was just them, being around, after the Tachikoma sacrificed themselves. War. |

Am I the only one here who liked the Puppet Master story over the Stand Alone Complex gigs?
I can't actually decide which I preferred. The Laughing Man storyline was really well written, in my opinion. Well, until that last episode where they actually meet with Aoi and discuss the entire incident for the sake of the viewers. |

Despite really, really disliking Salinger from what I've read of his stuff, I had no problems with the laughing man arc (which heavily, heavily referenced catcher in the rye of course).
Except...well yes, the last "NOW EVERYTHING GETS EXPLAINED" part, was sort of forced.

Um, I actually liked that episode (especially the last couple of minutes). But the explanation wasn't really needed if you were paying attention, yeah. Peace. |

Yeah, these guys:   No doubt the Tachikomas would own. I'm just saying that it wouldn't be a boring fight... Tachikomas versus Arachnid Warriors. I like this idea.
From Starship Troopers, right? This would indeed rock... .The Final Negotiator. |

I wasn't surprised. It's Big O, they had their fair share of ridiculous crap. War. |

So, essentially I've decided Caprica to be the non-animu successor to this show in terms of wordy backstory on ficticious political systems and crime syndicates (judging by the pilot, if they keep going in that direction this is pretty much exactly what it'll be)
It's just instead of tachikomas it's cylons.

You know, Cylons used to be these awesome stormtrooper knockoffs, except shiny and with swords. Or they had plastic cone heads with visible computers inside. Like my old avatar. Anyway, back to GitS: I always wondered what Ishikawa did that made him such an effective search engine and hacker. Isn't he like some sort of master detective? On the other hand, perhaps it was wise that the writers to never get into it. Their ideas of cutting-edge detective work might have looked rudimentary to us viewers from later generations. |

Every now and then they sort of offhandedly mention him finding a backdoor into (insert super-secure government/corporation database here) or stumbling across some pertinent piece of information. Maybe he was just really, really, really good with future-google. Come to think of it...most/all the supporting team got some kind of episode specifically dealing with their backstory, except I don't think they ever really did that with him? I can't remember. |

Ok this just occured to me, I forget if its been covered. It may even have been explained within the show, but I haven't been rewatching it in a long while (as its on at 5:30 or some insane deal)
...Okay, if I remember right, in the 2nd season one plot point is the major knew the terrorist leader because they were both in the hospital as kids or something. So if she was dying as a kid, then she got her brain put into the cybernetic body at that point?
So...does the cybernetic body age along with the brain, or did they just stick her brain into an adult body right then and there (which would be sort of weird), or were there multiple upgrades throughout her life? Same goes for the terrorist leader (Kuze? I think was the name?).
Like whats confusing me, and again I think I'm misremembering it, is if she grew up being cybridized...yeah do they ever explain how its even possible to 'grow up' if its just "Scoop out brain, put in mechanical corpus, end of procedure"
edit: I stick to my "Ishikawa was just super-super good at future googling plus access to crazy black-ops hacking techniques" theory, as I've mentioned on many occasions he is to that show what the chloe character is in 24. The hand-wave "internet did it" character.
